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).

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.

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 #### Apolline 18 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stunning place, must-do in Sri Lanka We absolutely loved our stay at Taru Villa. The place is stunning, the rooms are decorated with taste and attention to detail, and the hotel overall is truly splendid and perfectly human-sized. The restaurant is delicious with a very talented chef — special mention to the Sri Lankan breakfast, which was as generous as it was tasty. The staff is extremely attentive and lovely. I therefore highly recommend this hotel, which for me is one of the best in Sri Lanka. The only small point is that it would be more transparent to specify the taxes to be added to the services, particularly for the spa treatments, which are not negligible! ##### Apolline Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best experience We had the most amazing stay at the Taru Villas.

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 #### 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.
