Guest Reviews
- Najwan (9/5): Excellent location and super nice hosts - The hosts were very friendly and made me feel like part of the family. I felt very safe and the house is a nice antique house with an amazing veranda and garden
- Pubudu (8/5): - A very peaceful place .Ideal to relax and also to complete my work. This was my 2nd visit . The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious too!
- Madhawa (10/5): - We had such a lovely stay here. The place has a beautiful, calm vibe that made it really relaxing. I booked at the last minute, but they still arranged everything perfectly and gave me the best experience. Truly a beautiful place and I’d love to come back.
- Asanka (1/5): A Scam - Totally wasted time and money on transport. - There is nothing to like, except the nice lady and the gentleman take care of the place. 😡 This is a scam.😡 I booked and paid for 4 people. I have attached all the details here as pics. After about an hour we checked in, this scam guy behind the property who runs the place remotely, demanded me to pay double even I have already paid 71 USD for 4 people telling I have only reserved for 2 people.
Secondly, they charged the highest price possible against the USD I was charged 305LKR/USD based on highest rate showing online. When I contacted booking.con they mentioned it must be around 299-302 LKR per USD.
Thirdly, There is no functioning bathtub or jacuzzi. The couple said it was broken since a month after the payment.
Finnaly, as a summary
- No privacy because there is no boundary wall.
- You can’t have a party inside.
- Even the garbage tractor comes to the property to take an U turn.
- No security from backyard entrance
- No fresh water running. (Water bottles provided)
I talked to the booking.com and I got my money back and left the place.
If you have already booked plz check above before the payment.
- Kinoshita (9/5): とても良かった。 - お部屋のインテリアがアンティークでオシャレ。有名な寺院のすぐ近く。家の人がとてもフレンドリーで親切。朝食のフルーツが美味しい。 蚊がたくさんいた。
- Manori (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderful and prestigious traditional house with a history dating back to 1800s. Loved the spacious garden and charming interior which contains a collection of antiques. The owners are very friendly and helpful. A great place to rest and relax!
- Vidura (10/5): Exceptional - very nice place. enjoyed the stay. The vibe is amazing.
- Pubudu (10/5): A Retreat in the heart of Kelaniya - Tamarind Villa is a seamless blend of modern luxury and timeless charm. The villa’s tasteful antique furniture exudes grandeur, beautifully complemented by contemporary amenities like air conditioning, a jacuzzi, a mini gym, and a fully equipped kitchen with the latest appliances.
The spacious verandah is a highlight, offering a serene view of the lush, green lawn. It's the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea and embrace the slower pace of life. Despite its tranquil ambiance, the villa is conveniently located in the heart of Kelaniya, just a short distance from the iconic Kelaniya Temple.
The breakfast we ordered was a delight—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The staff stood out for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring our stay was comfortable.
However there is a minor drawback. Finding the villa can be challenging as there is no board displaying its name. Adding clear directions or a visible sign board would greatly enhance the overall experience.
Overall , Tamarind villa is an excellent retreat for anyone seeking a luxurious and peaceful getaway with a touch of history.
