Splendour Residence

We had an exceptional stay at Splendor Residence and can only give our highest recommendation. The rooms are very spacious, spotlessly clean and beautifully designed. Everything feels stylish and well thought out. We especially loved the large balcony, the fridge, the very comfortable soft bed, and the reliable Wi-Fi. A true highlight was the bathroom – absolutely stunning. The best shower we’ve had in Sri Lanka, honestly better than many showers back home in Germany. The rooms are simply excellent. The location is idyllic and peaceful, hidden in the forest next to a beautiful lake. It’s incredibly quiet, surrounded by nature, and you can spot many animals and birds. We did a boat tour on the lake to the islands, which was fantastic – lots of birds and a truly special atmosphere. A very special mention goes to Niroshan, the host and owner. He is the best host you could possibly imagine. You immediately feel that this place is his life’s project. He built everything piece by piece, on his own, with incredible passion, attention to detail and heart – and it truly shows in every corner of the property. Together with his wife, they were always kind, attentive, warm and genuinely caring. Every wish was fulfilled without hesitation. This was one of the best services we’ve ever experienced anywhere. And then the food… absolutely outstanding. Niroshan cooks himself, and you can clearly tell that he is a professionally trained chef. Every dish was perfectly seasoned, incredibly tasty and full of flavor – we never had to add anything. The Rice & Curry was phenomenal, easily one of the best we had in Sri Lanka. We also spent New Year’s Eve here, with a wonderful special menu and a lovely program with artists – it was a truly memorable and beautiful evening. The pool was perfectly clean, and swimming there every morning was a joy. Price–performance is excellent, there are honestly no points of criticism, no suggestions for improvement – everything was spot on.

It’s a real gem of a place, where nature meets comfort. We loved our room and the spectacular views it offered over the lake. It’s a family run small hotel and the owners as well as the staff go out of their way to make you have a unforgettable experience. The food was home cooked and delicious and the pool simply stunning.

It’s a little out of the way, so not ideal for longer walks and away from the beach, but this matters not. It is so easy and cheap to get a tuktuk or transport which only took 10-15 mins to get to the local beach or nearby small town.

The view is amazing, overlooking the Lake with panoramic view, the staff were amazing, the hotel owner himself welcomed us, the team is so helpful and the breakfast was delicious, it's definitely the best value for money hotel I've been to.

The location is perfect as of the lake but nothing is around the hotel, it's not the easiest thing to reach the hotel

Amazing staff - very friendly and accommodating! Beautiful location. Great place to wind down

Awesome location. 'Drenched in Green' property at the corner of breathtaking land(lake)scape. Very friendly staff. Good food. Go there for nature, fauna and flora - not for 'beachside night life'

موقع الفندق ممتاز للاسترخاء والاستجمام، والطبيعة المحيطة جميلة. كما أن معاملة الموظفين كانت ممتازة جدًا، ودودين ومتعاونين وهذا يُحسب لهم. لكن للأسف، نظافة الغرفة كانت سيئة، حيث وُجدت حشرات داخل الغرفة، ومع مرور الأيام زاد عددها، مما سبب إزعاجًا وعدم راحة أثناء الإقامة. منطقة الفندق هادئة جدًا، لكن في الليل تشعر بعدم الأمان، فالشارع مظلم ولا تتوفر أي خدمات قريبة من الفندق. هناك ملاحظة مهمة أيضًا، وهي صعوبة التواصل مع الاستقبال في وقت متأخر من الليل، حيث يكون الموظفون نائمين، ولا يوجد أحد في الاستقبال، كما لا يوجد هاتف داخل الغرفة للتواصل معهم عند الحاجة. إضافة إلى ذلك، أثناء هطول أمطار غزيرة، انقطعت الكهرباء مرتين، وهذا أمر مستغرب في فندق مصنف خمس نجوم، وكانت هذه أول مرة أواجه فيها انقطاع كهرباء في فندق بهذا المستوى. بشكل عام، الفندق لديه إمكانيات جيدة من حيث الموقع والموظفين، لكنه يحتاج إلى تحسين كبير في النظافة، مستوى الأمان، وتوفير الخدمات الأساسية

كثرة الحشرات في المكان.

Sehr sehr schöne Unterkunft! Tolle Gastgeber, sehr saubere Zimmer, wunderschöne Aussicht. Alles top! Niroshan und seine Frau sind wunderbare Gastgeber und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen! Das Essen vor Ort ist wunderbar, frisch und super lecker.

Es gab nichts auszusetzen.

Our experience at Splendour Residence was nothing short of exceptional. They went above and beyond to make our stay truly memorable, showing genuine care and attention to every detail. The food deserves special mention : was consistently delicious, fresh - giving us a real taste of Sri Lankan hospitality. Beyond the comfort of the residence, we were delighted by the activities offered. Renting a bike allowed us to explore the local surrondings at a relaxed pace, while the boat tour gave us a uniquie perspective of the lake's natural beauty. We highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

We had an Amazing experience in Splendour Residence. The room was huge and comfortable the staff was amazing - great meals, tours, just overall they took care to any of any of our requests. They even have a free tuk tuk to drive you to the near town and back Great shower with hot water all day long. Best view from a hotel room that we had!
