Guest Reviews

Kavinda (10/5): -
Dasun (10/5): - Beautiful nature
Shanuki (8/5): A really nice place with lots of potential to become quite heavenly with a few small additional touches and trimmings. - The hotel is surrounded by forest and thoughtfully built to create a sense of privacy in nature. The staff service is 100/10, and everyone was very respectful, considerate and helpful. They really care about their work and their guests, which is a lovely experience to have. All of the basic comforts were available. The food, although a limited menu, was quite tasty and the portions were generous. The room we stayed could benefit from small improvements. There was no hairdryer as advertised, there was no drinking water in the room (which was immediately provided on request, though), the carpets smelled musty when we first arrived (however the staff provided us with an air freshener when this was flagged) and the bathroom walls had some mould. The bathroom could also have some amenities provided such as shampoo and shower gel, for the price paid. All in all, little things that could make a difference to guest comfort. The hotel can also invest in building a proper dining area, and expanding their main meal menu. Not the fault of the hotel, but during our stay there was a group of very noisy guests, whose loud behaviour upset the peacefulness of the property and impacted our experience. Perhaps some strong rules on guest code of conduct would help mitigate this.
V (8/5): Hidden Gem - De locatie was fantastisch een echte verstopte parel.
Eva (8/5): -
aimee (7/5): It’s beautiful for a relaxing night away, that’s enough. - It wasn’t what I expected. It’s a beautiful place and the rooms are amazing, they even gave us a better view however it’s not quite ready for western travellers. They don’t have a bar however happy for us to bring our own wine and kindly sold me a nice red for cheap. The actives are expensive and even to hike cost 40 euros.. I like to solo hike personally so this really confused me, the food was good and the staff go above and beyond but they seem young and maybe a little untrained. Breakfast was amazing! The pools don’t get any sun and it also was a bit isolating
Boralessa (8/5): Very good stay very happyit was a different calm expereince. Good Staff - it was a different calm expereince. The enviroment is so nice after your busy routing. Excellent location cocktail that I orderd was not up to standard
Hannah (9/5): - Super großes und schönes Zimmer. Die Anlage hat super viel Potential, sehr ruhig und toll im Grünen gelegen. Die Aussicht war toll! Die Atmosphäre war etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Man parkt auf einem Fabrikgelände und wird dann vom Personal abgeholt. Alle waren super nett, aber haben leider fast kein Englisch gesprochen. Es waren fast keine anderen Gäste da und alles wirkte noch etwas in den Startlöchern.
Kerstin (9/5): - Die Lage und die Ausstattung waren super Die zeitliche Vorbestellung der Mahlzeiten funktionierte nicht. Zweimal mussten wir jeweils eine Stunde auf das Essen warten.
Beer (10/5): - Es ist absolut traumhaft gelegen, mitten im Grünen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Da kann man das nicht so gute Englisch von einigen Mitarbeitern gerne übersehen. Sie machen es mit viel Eifer und Freundlichkeit wieder wett. Die Zimmer sind der Hammer! Und das Essen ist absolut fabelhaft!!! Wir können dieses Jungle Ressort nur empfehlen. Gar nichts
Jagath (5/5): -
Benjamin (10/5): -
Thusith (10/5): - During our recent stay at the bed and breakfast, my partner and I had a truly delightful experience. The accommodation was cozy and impeccably clean, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. We enjoyed waking up to a breathtaking view that added a special charm to our morning. The food served was absolutely delicious, with a variety of fresh, well-prepared options that catered to our tastes perfectly. Each meal felt thoughtfully made and gave us a great start to the day. What truly stood out was the friendliness of the staff. From the moment we arrived, they were welcoming, attentive, and eager to make our stay comfortable. Their warm service made us feel right at home. Overall, the combination of comforting accommodation, fantastic food, stunning views, and exceptional staff hospitality made this stay memorable. We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant getaway.
Ranga (8/5): -
Bart (9/5): Mooi kleinschalig tijd resort in bosrijke omgeving - Mooi kleinschalig resort op een hele schuine helling waardoor het privé huisje boven op de helling erg lastig te bereiken is en een kleine beklimming van 2 minuten op een niet for hard bergpad vereist. Huisjes zijn vanbinnen schitterend en ook het uitzicht en het kleine zwembad zijn prachtig. Zwembad is relatief klein waarvoor een verfrissende duik meer dan voldoende. Het hotel was iets onder bezet qua personeel waardoor de manager ook in de keuken werkte en ook de drankjes moest bezorgen waardoor bestellingen allemaal wat langer duurde. gelegen op schuine helling dus lastig begaanbaar voor mensen slechter been. Iets meer personeel zou het nog comfortabeller maken om vanuit je huisje te bestellen helemaal aangezien naar het restaurant lopen nogal lastig bewerkelijk is op de schuine hellingen. Het eten in het restaurant was perfect ruim aanbod.
Wijesinghe Arachchilage (10/5): - Our stay was truly delightful. The balcony offered stunning views, the staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help, and the food was simply exceptional. A perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and scenic beauty – highly recommended!
Giacomo (7/5): - Staff super attento e disponibile. Un ringraziamento speciale a Milinda. Grazie davvero per la tua gentilezza. La struttura si trova dietro ad una fabbrica, camminata scomoda in mezzo alla giungla per raggiungerla. Accessi struttura e cura del verde da migliorare.
Richard (9/5): Great private space in the jungle, very comfortable with everything we needed and good food brought to us. Only suitable - I liked the final location, on a hillside in the jungle. Room was very clean and comfortable, nice bathroom, hot water, minibar/fridge, big private veranda. Staff were friendly, brought meals to us and otherwise left us alone. We arrived in what looked like a small industrial zone and had to climb quite a few steps up to the hotel but the guys met us and carried our bags up. We were unfortunate to have people in the room above us playing TV at full volume until after midnight.
Adriana Geertruida (9/5): Beautiful resort with incredibly friendly staff. - We had a fantastic two-day stay at this beautifully designed mountain retreat. Tucked away in the hills, the hotel has a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere and stunning views all around. Our spacious and spotless room came with a balcony overlooking the valley—perfect for relaxing in the comfy hanging chairs. The pools and bars were great, and although there are a few steps to climb, it’s absolutely worth it. The staff go above and beyond—they carried our bags and were so kind and helpful that we joked they’d probably carry us up the stairs if they could! The outdoor activities arranged through the hotel were also well organized and a lot of fun. We’ll look back on our time here with nothing but great memories. Highly recommended! Everything was great, but if I had to mention one small thing, the pool water could have been a bit warmer.
Rochith (7/5): Unwinding in Nature's Tranquility - We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful nature resort. The surrounding was serene and beautiful, and the hotel is an example of eco-friendly architecture, thoughtfully constructed to preserve the surrounding environment while offering a perfect balance of comfort and sustainability. They offer quad bike rides and hikes, and we thoroughly enjoyed the quad bike ride. The staff was very nice and helpful. Had some issues with some guests being a bit loud and the staff handled it very nicely. The check in process needs to be a bit more professional and welcoming. Though we booked a mountain view the view was a bit underwhelming. The room floors were wooden, and the rooms were not soundproof, so we could hear the steps the noise of the people in the upper room and that was a bit disturbing. It would really help maintain the serene environment if the resort could kindly put up a notice reminding guests to avoid using speakers or making loud noise in common outdoor spaces or mention about that at the check in. This would help everyone enjoy the sounds of nature that make the place so special.
Matteo (10/5): Exceptional -
Gunawardhana (10/5): Everything is so good. Without doubt I can rate 10/10 - The crew, rooms, surroundings, food, Everything is 10/10. The path from the main gate to the rooms is a bit adventurous, but it’s fun. Once you enter through the main gate, you’ll need to walk the rest of the way up to the top of a hill. It’s about a 10-minute walk, but the crew will carry your bags and belongings, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Mark (6/5): Forest canopy retreat. Good for one night. - The accommodation set amongst the forest canopy was really nice. The room was very comfortable. Perfect for a one night stop on the way to somewhere else. The arrival experience wasn’t good: You enter the hotel via a light industrial complex. Walk up a steep and uneven stairs and past some construction work before arriving. The location isn’t good, but as I said- good for a stop on the way to somewhere else.
Raed (10/5): Exceptional -
Milinda (10/5): ultimate comfort and relaxation. - We had a wonderful experience at Trance Rabara Resort! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect – the ambiance, the service, and the overall atmosphere made our stay truly enjoyable. • Breathtaking views – The surroundings were absolutely stunning, offering a peaceful and scenic environment. • Delicious food – Every meal was well-prepared and tasted amazing. The quality and variety of food exceeded our expectations. • Exceptional staff – The team was friendly, professional, and always willing to help, making us feel welcome and comfortable. • Clean and well-maintained property – Unlike many other places, this resort is kept in pristine condition, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay. This is one of the best places we’ve stayed at. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, great food, or excellent hospitality, Trance Rabara Resort is highly recommended! We will definitely be coming back.
Langesh (6/5): Pleasant -
Beth (2/5): Very poor -
Harry (6/5): Off-the-track Inaccessible Jungle Guesthouse - This place is a guest-house vibe in a jungle location, set atop a hill-top. You are surrounded by greenery in a nicely kitted-out room with AC, fan and amenities. There is a single shared pool (not a private pool, as I’d understood from photos). Staff were friendly but seemed inexperienced and wore no uniform. Food was very good. My main host was a kind man. If you have a disability, this location is utterly inaccessible to you; at points you have to hike up unpaved steps above tree roots. My bathroom wasn’t clean. My cabin was apparently made of tin, as during nighttime rain, sleep was impossible from noise pollution. WiFi wasn’t usable.
Sylvia (8/5): Nice new location. Wonderful view into the jungle. Great Service, good food. -
Simon (9/5): Superb -
Malsha (10/5): Exceptional -
Martin (9/5): Big hit but can be a miss - Uniquely located on a forested slope. Beautifully furnished rooms with open views but try to get upper units for privacy. Thanks to Mr. Menake for his kind service and warm conversation. Manager absent due to emergency. New staff overwhelmed at breakfast. Sri Lankan breakfast was excellent but Western BK looked unappetizing.
Hanne (8/5): Very good - Very beautiful room and really kind staff who helped out a lot. They upgraded our room because we were really tired and had better rest there. They carried our bags because it was a little hike to get there. Very new property with lots of potential if they make it a bit more western. The breakfast did not have a lot of options and the plates where wet. Other then that we had a great rest.
