It is such beautiful accommodation, thoughtfully designed. It's clean, modern, safe and you feeling totally immersed in the forest/jungle. The staff were beyond polite and helpful, always greeting us warmly - especially those in the dining area. The food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka, very authentic, catered to our needs (gluten free - even with gf bread) and so tasty. We would highly recommend this Taru Villas to anyone visiting. Also well located for Sigiriya (for the rock) and Minneriya Park (for the elephants). Thank you! ##### George Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort From start to end, it was an extraordinary experience to stay at the Taru Villas Maia. Most friendly service, wonderful room, lovely pool area. Loved the good coffee and tea (and fresh milk!) in the room, very comfortable bedding and the big shower. Food (breakfast & dinner) was also outstanding. We mostly had Sri Lankan dishes and loved it. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Would return immediately!🙂 ##### Denise Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caterina 26 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was amazing - the property is beyond beautiful and the staff is so nice so warm so efficient we loved every minute of our stay ##### Caterina Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanne 31 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The nicest hotel in many ways Nice beds, wonderful architecture and large in the house/rooms.

Wonderful room and overall architecture, excellent food, first class service and staff. What an experience! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alana 1 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We felt instantly relaxed and welcomed upon arrival. The grounds and pool are beautiful. Room was spacious and immaculate, we loved the variety of loose leaf teas in our room and delicious homemade biscuits that were replenished. The staff were the most attentive in our whole time in Sri Lanka. Things like coming with umbrellas on arrival to our car so we didn’t get wet, guiding us with a light to and from the dining area to our room each night, speaking to us about our travels and offering to be of service anytime we needed to enjoy our stay. Food was good, particularly the Sri Lankan dishes. Wine cannot be bought by the glass but if you get a bottle they will keep for the next night if unfinished which is a nice touch. We had such a great time on the couple of tours that we booked through the hotel. Highly recommend this boutique to unwind from busy activities during the day, it has a lovely private and boutique atmosphere. We would stay again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/143df274-8884-4d06-80f3-d71fdeea0df0-1761969275292.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c1e19dc3-047b-4a63-a2df-74d4ff99cb57-1761969277088.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0a0f6179-7fc3-4cfd-bee0-b56be1827499-1761969541924.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d0d5b022-90b0-4558-915a-0329d3e0e808-1761969546020.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alana Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grace 16 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tranquil and luxury! ##### Grace Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victor 27 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Taru Villas, Maia, Habarana is an amazing boutique hotel, where you felt completely by youself.

Food, staff and setting fabulous ##### Amanda Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory 8 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We are architects and the property is one of the most architecturally significant modern properties in Sri Lanka blending vernacular architecture with modern design. It’s fabulous considering a slightly odd site accessed only via a new bridge. The architecture and furniture and some of the best I’ve seen. The staff are great and friendly. slightly too over attentive at meal times but that’s probably just me! The only shortfall is the integration of the amenities into the overall operation - it needs a designated bar (apparently in the works) as after dinner the only option is to go to your villa room. Not a problem per se but would be nice to socialise a bit after. During the day if you hang out at the property we missed some attentive drinks and snacks being considered for the pool area (lovely pool overlooking the pady fields!) when you felt slightly left to your own devises. If this was a soho house there would be someone around acknowledging your presence and servicing from time to time - you have to go and find the staff who then they snap into action. A bit snoozy if you are trying to have a fun time! - major issue is the lack of variety of drinks - beers and wines only - I could have done with a gin and tonic or two beside the pool - slightly not understanding why management haven’t worked this out (I know licensing is tricky in Sri Lanka) as I would have probably spent 50% more on my extra/ ove bill (over and above the half board) if this had been worked through 4/5! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f1240d1c-c430-4778-ae44-01c756cad70e-1767853054906.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gregory Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan 26 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing boutique hotel with a great relaxing atmosphere.

From the moment we walked in, the team could not do enough to help us - they were all fantastic. The rooms are beautiful and bathroom stunning. Loved the pool area, which was very peaceful. Food was fabulous in the restaurant as well. If you’re going to Dambulla / Sigiriya, stay here!! ##### Vanessa Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sebastian 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Although our overall rating is good and individual people were really motivated to take good care, we somehow missed the Sri Lankan authenticity. Food was mediocre, really not what I expect from a five star hotel. Management should be more interconnected. We recognized some issues: We booked additional nights via a different platform. I informed people before our arrival and at arrival about it so that we do not have to change room. However, at the end of our first booking, we did not receive room service anymore and were asked for late checkout payment in the afternoon because we were still staying in the room. I had to explain several times that I made another reservation for the following night. Only with recurring request, we received the services that were booked. To summarize, people individual‘s effort was amazing, but their integration into a well managed service body was lacking from our observation. Rooms are really the highlight in this hotel. Clean and beautiful. The hotel property is located in an areal of untouched „farmland“. It is beautiful of course, but I would expect a more maintained property from a five star hotel… ##### Sebastian Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bjorn 31 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best hotel room we’ve had. Beautiful location and property and awesome food, really well adjusted to my wife’s gluten intolerance. the employees really care and go above and beyond. Absolutely great! Well done and keep it up. Only 2 small pieces of advice for the management because I know you care about it: 1\. Increase number of towels in the rooms, 1 per day is not enough in the outside bathroom because things stay moisty 2\. Do room service when guests are at breakfast. We often were out of the room several hours in a row and then the room wasn’t cleaned yet. It then had to be cleaned when we wanted to be in it. Apart from that 10/10! ##### Bjorn Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wijnand 4 Jan 2026 This was one of the most amazing stays we ##### Wijnand Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Uppuveli Beach by DSK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trincomalee-Hotels-Uppuveli-Beach-By-DSK.h107128771.Hotel-Information) > > [Camellia Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatton-Hotels-Camellia-Hills.h48393070.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-OZO-Kandy-Sri-Lanka.h10442617.Hotel-Information) > > [Jie Jie Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panadura-Hotels-Jie-Jie-Beach-By-Jetwing.h15440520.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > > [Roo Mansala Boutique Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Roo-Mansala-Boutique-Villas.h23204786.Hotel-Information) > > [Leopard Safaris Yala ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kataragama-Hotels-Leopard-Safaris-By-KK-Collection.h50636592.Hotel-Information) > > [W15 Hanthana Estate Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pathahewaheta-Hotels-W15-Hanthana-Estate-Kandy.h45703128.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardamon Hotel Nilaveli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nilaveli-Hotels-Cardamon-Hotel-Nilaveli.h35151335.Hotel-Information) > > [The Nature Park Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dambulla-Hotels-The-Nature-Park-Villa.h41826990.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritance Ahungalla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahungalla-Hotels-Heritance-Ahungalla.h1526822.Hotel-Information) > > [Ladja Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambalanthota-Hotels-Ladja-Beach-Resort.h42476991.Hotel-Information) > > [Xavier's Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwara-Eliya-Hotels-The-Cottage-By-Jetwing.h12483826.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Turtle Villa by The Serendipity Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kosgoda-Hotels-Green-Turtle-Villa.h22575245.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Grand Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Le-Grand-Galle-By-Asia-Leisure.h24010679.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Garden Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwaragam-Palatha-Central-Hotels-Palm-Garden-Village.h42592531.Hotel-Information) > > [Anukama Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nilaveli-Hotels-Anukama-Resort.h103492324.Hotel-Information) > > [North Gate Jaffna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaffna-Hotels-North-Gate-By-Jetwing.h22276412.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunshine Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Sunshine-Resort-And-Spa.h95043877.Hotel-Information) > > [Uga Bay - Pasikuda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Uga-Bay-By-Uga-Escapes.h7760824.Hotel-Information) > > [Taavetti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Taavetti.h95999208.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Heaven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-Mountain-Heaven.h11741687.Hotel-Information) > > [Kandy Myst by Cinnamon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-Kandy-Myst-By-Cinnamon.h109283515.Hotel-Information) > > [Yala Wilderness Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tissamaharama-Hotels-Yala-Wilderness-Safari-Camp.h35832683.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Nilaveli by ICC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nilaveli-Hotels-Ocean-Front-Condos.h35766159.Hotel-Information) > > [Oreeka - Katunayake Airport Transit Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Oreeka-Hotel-Complimentary-Airport-Transfer.h14687310.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villas Wadduwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-The-Villas-Wadduwa.h21399796.Hotel-Information) > > [Kethaka Aga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Kethaka-Aga.h22876073.Hotel-Information) ---
