This hotel cancelled my reservation without notifying me before my stay. They overbooked the entire hotel and had no more rooms left even after having a booking confirmation number and payment. They also wouldn't refund me even after I wasn't able to stay there. It took 3 weeks to get my money back after many calls with them. I wouldn't ever stay here. There is however a bungalow house nearby that I'd absolutely recommend instead of this hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ceylon Tea Trails - Relais and Chateaux - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwood-Hotels-Ceylon-Tea-Trails.h4045356.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sigiriya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Hotel-Sigiriya.h1609730.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tangalle-Hotels-Anantara-Peace-Haven-Tangalle-Resort.h11229814.Hotel-Information) > > [Amaya Beach Pasikudah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Amaya-Beach-Pasikudah.h6780993.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandhya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahangama-Hotels-The-Sandhya.h18099343.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Bey Beruwala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beruwala-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bey-Beruwala.h8256226.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Citadel Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-Cinnamon-Citadel-Kandy.h4031542.Hotel-Information) > > [Habarana Village by Cinnamon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Habarana-Hotels-Habarana-Village-By-Cinnamon.h4031747.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Siyam Pasikudah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Sun-Siyam-Pasikudah.h9272270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) > > [Amaya Hills Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-Amaya-Hills-Kandy.h1700850.Hotel-Information) > > [W15 Weligama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-W15.h11560777.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Kosgoda Turtle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kosgoda-Hotels-Sheraton-Kosgoda-Turtle-Beach-Resort.h48743974.Hotel-Information) > > [Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Maalu-Maalu-Resort-Spa.h6504916.Hotel-Information) > > [Avani Kalutara Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalutara-Hotels-Avani-Kalutara-Resort.h4031708.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bentota-Beach.h36466861.Hotel-Information) > > [Kahanda Kanda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angulugaha-Hotels-Kahanda-Kanda.h11263998.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Pandanus Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Induruwa-Hotels-Pandanus-Beach-Resort-Spa.h11289546.Hotel-Information) > > [Vivanta Colombo, Airport Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Vivanta-Colombo.h526350.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Grand Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Le-Grand-Galle-By-Asia-Leisure.h24010679.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fortress Resort & Spa Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koggala-Hotels-The-Fortress-Resort-Spa.h7821441.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westbury Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwara-Eliya-Hotels-The-Westbury-Palace.h48402950.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-The-Sun-House.h15677263.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Bentota Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Taj-Bentota-Resort-Spa.h581365.Hotel-Information) > > [go camping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Go-Camping.h23256271.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Habarana-Hotels-Cinnamon-Lodge.h1854476.Hotel-Information) ---
