Lovely place…

5 out of 5

I really liked it here. The family running this place are really lovely and helpful. They will put on a curry for you in the evening which is fantastic, and breakfast was great. Location wise, you will need to borrow a bike to see the town and the ruins; the family can help you with that. There is a lot of building work going on at the moment as they are adding an additional two floors, but that didn't detract from the overall experience. If arriving by bus, you will need a tuc tuc to get there as it is a stretch from the centre of town. Facilities are great but remember this is a family run business and not a hotel so don't expect a pool or anything like that. The rooms are very comfortable and the bathroom was fine.…I really liked it here. The family running this place are really lovely and helpful.

Wonderful pace to stay…

This place is a PARADISE on earth. You can seriously "dine together" with deer, and share the same space with monkeys and so forth. The owner is a very, very polite and helpful host with all of the family. I will always remember this place with love in my heart. P.S. Thank you for showing and explaining my confusion about coconuts ! :) …

This is one of the most beautiful hotels in Sri Lanka. You have to stay at least two nights to enjoy the beauty of this place. Food was excellent offering a variety of food choices to satisfy everyone in our family. This hotel was build many years ago but has kept up its elegance. The design blends the nature to the hotels luxury. We had a jacuzzi in the room and had a unique experience of watching the wild life just outside the window. We live in Los Angeles and expect a certain standard when we are on holiday in Sri Lanka. This hotel and each and every staff definitely made us feel comfortable. They were so nice to help us in any way possible to make an excellent stay memorable. Thank you Kandalama. …This is one of the most beautiful hotels in Sri Lanka.

Rock Cascades Homedtay- a real home!…

Really very nice home stay near to the lake and the Museum. The landlady is very helpful and does everything to make the stay comfortable . The bycicle is brought to your room, this is the best way to see the sites, also the entrance is quite near. In the evening the landlady cooks a nice curry for you - or whatever you want - and she also has beer! All in all a very agreeable stay. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner though.…Really very nice home stay near to the lake and the Museum. The landlady is very helpful and does everything to make the stay comfortable .

Poor value and limited (not good) food choice!…

1 out of 5

The hotel looked promising upon arrival, with a big open reception housing many elephants. However, the 'hot' buffet food was cool, the salads were warm, the breakfast fruit juice dispensers were dirty with lots of fruit flies evident. The range of food was 95% spicy and not geared for western tastes. The shower gave only cold water. We were woken with maintenance drilling at 7.45am.Not that close to Kaudella NP. It was not all bad though...there was a good view of the lake and monkeys in the close by trees. Massage excellent value, but Hotel Not good value at £67 half board; beers were also expensive at around 750 Rs for 625ml bottle.…The hotel looked promising upon arrival, with a big open reception housing many elephants.
