Heritance Kandalama

ジェフリーバワの建築は、やはりとても素晴らしく、宿泊してみて、さらに自然との同化というコンセプトがよくわかった。是非、ホテル主催のバワツアーに参加することをお勧めします！ もちろん、スタッフの皆さんの対応も笑顔で素晴らしかったです。

施設が広いので、移動が少し大変。

朝食はとても良い。 日中のスタッフは愛想が良い。 施設はとても開放的で面白い。芸術的。

夜間は電話してもフロントに繋がらない。 トイレットペーパーがなく、たくさん歩いてフロントへ行った。 その1時間後に補充にきた。 ケトルに水が残ったまま 引き出しの中にゴミが残ったまま

自然との融合が楽しめた。スタッフも割と親切。バーのスタッフさんは対応が素敵でした。

周りは食べる場所がないので必ずビュッフェになるが、男性のホールスタッフ(多分チーフレベル？)の対応が少々人種差別的に感じた。欧米系の方にはニコニコしてる感じ、一方アジア人には塩、といった印象。欧米系の方がアルコールの注文など客単価は高いのかな〜？あからさまだな〜と思う場面はありました。他のスタッフさんはみな普通のご対応でかもなく不可もなくでした。あと虫がすごい！小蝿が常にビュッフェの皿にしかも大量に舞っていて、ちょっと食欲失せる感じはします。

dinner and breakfast was great, we didn't get a chance to check out lunch though, I think the Sri Lankan experience they are going for is sort of spot on. I think its a very special place with so much calm and detachment from the busy world we live in, I think is truly an amazing place

I think he hotel is getting to be on the too old side now, I think, lot of people would love that old rustic vibe but still would like to have some comfort from the modern era you know, for example, the wall sockets were so old that we need to use old wall adapters to fit in the plugs and still it was not great, and the fans in the place are so old and made so much noice, and same with the air condition, and the bed was comfy but it was an old spring metros I think and it made the other side bounce when one person moves, and this is not great, and yeah I think the hotel definitely needs some renovation wile keeping the rustic vides and not changing too much

A Bawa masterpiece, made unforgettable by its people I spent three nights at Heritance Kandalama as a solo traveler, and it was a truly special stay. The hotel itself is everything I had hoped for as a Geoffrey Bawa admirer — a building that doesn't impose on the landscape but quietly belongs to it. The way nature flows into and around the architecture is genuinely moving, and the property feels alive with birds, light, and the changing colors of the rock and reservoir throughout the day. But what truly elevated this stay was the people. Every single staff member I encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. I would especially like to thank a few who went above and beyond: Sachini and Maduwanthi at the restaurant — you remembered my room number from the very first meal and always greeted me with such warmth. As a solo diner, you made me feel completely at home at every meal. Warsha at reception — your kindness, patience, and willingness to help with anything made every interaction a pleasure. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of me throughout my stay. Avishka, the resident naturalist — the hotel tour and birdwatching session you led were highlights of my entire trip. Your knowledge and passion brought the property to life in a way I never could have experienced on my own. To future guests: please do join one of the naturalist tours, you won't regret it. Nawaratha and Jayasinghe in housekeeping — you didn't just clean my room, you transformed it each day into a space that felt even more peaceful and welcoming to return to. The small, thoughtful touches truly mattered. Thank you all for a wonderful stay. I would love to come back.
