Guest Reviews
- Travis (9/5): -
- Stuart (10/5): - We absolutely loved the hotel! Very gorgeous design, the pool area and landscaping is stunning. We loved the hospitality, the food and the comfy bed. Everything was managed very well for us and we wanted to stay longer!
- Martina (8/5): -
- Erwin (10/5): Heerlijk luxueus verblijf - Prachtig hotel met een nog mooiere kamer en een heerlijk zwembad. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk en bekwaam. Jammer dat er tijdens ons verblijf werkzaamheden waren waardoor er wat geluidsoverlast was
- Timothy (10/5): Ett mycket bra val! - Mysigt boende med trevlig personal och god mat. Stillsamt hotell som ligger precis vid floden. Enkelt att boka aktiviteter med hotellet. Killen som jobbade i receptionen var mycket proffsig och verkade kunna sitt jobb. Han borde bli befordrad. Hotellet är nytt och man håller på att bygga en del men det är inget som störde mer än att några saker inte såg klara ut runtomkring huvudbyggnaden.
- Carlo (10/5): -
- Estelle (9/5): -
- Serdar (10/5): -
- Celina (10/5): - Przepiękny widok. Przemiła obsługa. Polecam dwa noclegi, jeden to za krótko.
- Natalia (10/5): - Все понравилось!!! Чисто, аккуратно, прекрасный бассеин с массажем.
Этот отель продуман до мелочей, подходит для спокойного отдыха, для медитаций, для занятий йогой. Еда прекрасная.
Также тут очень хорошо останавливаться группой, если вы хотите вместе заниматься практиками йоги. Нам очень понравилось наше пребывание. Безусловно рекомендую у посещению. Даже не к чему придраться.
- Angela (10/5): Stunning place - Beautiful resort, lovely setting. I enjoyed doing yoga on the morning. Friendly staff, lovely comfortable rooms with your own yoga studio. Wasn't anything to dislike.
- Melina (10/5): -
- d'Andrea (10/5): A lovely stay at a friendly and welcoming hotel. A dream for amateur bird watchers! Fabulous staff. - We wandered the hotel grounds looking for birds, and encountered so many species, from kingfishers to eagles, just on the first day alone! Staff were very friendly and helpful; they arranged transportation for us, helped us track down more of the tropical fruit they served on the menu (the mangoes were amazing), and have connections for a variety of excursions. We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and while the food was fresh, all of the curries tasted overwhelmingly of Maggi seasoning! They could do away with that and just let the local spices do the heavy lifting in the flavor department. Also, there was a lot of construction work happening on the hotel grounds, which detracted from the peaceful poolside ambiance.
- Kira (10/5): - Wir waren für 4 Tage da und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Schönes Hotel direkt am Fluss, super um Vögel zu beobachten. Schöne Zimmer mit Blick auf den Pool.
Das Essen war super lecker und das Personal sehr gastfreundlich, nett und zuvorkommend. Ausflüge sind problemlos über das Hotel zu buchen.
Vielen Dank, wir kommen gerne wieder!!!
- ahu (10/5): - Everything. Staff, foods, location, cleaning and rooms. Nothing
- Malgorzata (10/5): Best choice ever - Location is amazing
All rooms are clean comfortable and breath taking view
I’ve been traveling allover the world but this hotel is really moving to my favorite ones
- Jessica (9/5): - Wow just wow
- Cristina (10/5): Ett fint hotell för en avkopplande vistelse - Väldigt fint hotell beläget vid floden. Personalen är duktig att ta hand om gästerna. De lagade fin mat i restaurangen. Poolen är ren och stor. Perfekt läge för att koppla av innan eller efter en rafting upplevelse. Hela familjen njöt av tiden här. Allt var toppen!
- Renate (9/5): Het was fantastisch - De plek van het hotel is fantastisch, de rust en ruimte . Personeel is vriendelijk en doen er alles aan om het naar je zin te maken . We hebben niets gemist tijdens het verblijf
- Paul (8/5): Only stayed one night - would liked to have stayed longer. Great staff, very friendly - The trip across the river to get there was great.
A nice property Nothing
- Marta (7/5): -
- Risto (10/5): - Sijainti oli hyvä. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Aamuinen linnun lauluun herääminen oli iso plussa ja se tapahtui kolmena aamuna kun olimme hotellilla. WiFi oli ajoittain hidas.
- Nicole (7/5): Tolle Ausgangslage für Outdoor Aktivitäten. - Die Lage eignet sich perfekt für diverse Outdoor Aktivitäten. Leider war die Unterkunft für unsere Verhältnisse dreckig und die Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen und daher modrig. Freundlicherweise machte man uns ein frühes Frühstück, da wir frühzeitig abreisen müssen mussten. Leider wurde jedoch die aufgegebene Bestellung nicht eingehalten.
- Ann Luypaert (9/5): Amazing place - What an amazing place. It´s just like in the pictures! It wouldn´t doubt to go back, we loved it! Very clean rooms, well maintained pool....etc Getting there was a bit difficult. There was nobody on the side of the mainroad to do the rivercrossing. So we had to take the bumpy road getting there.
- Kerstin (10/5): - Die tolle Lage am Fluss und die Abgeschiedenheit hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen und das Personal war super. Von dort aus kann man schöne Wanderungen machen oder auch Rafting. Empfehlen würde ich einen kleinen Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Man kann essen und trinken beim Personal zur Kühlung abgeben. Trotzdem finde ich einen Kühlschrank im Zimmer besser 😉😁
- Simon (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): A relaxing time at a well run boutique hotel in a great location - A very well run quality boutique hotel in an excellent location right by the river.
It was very peaceful and just what my friends and I needed to rest and recharge with nature. The access road is currently being repaired so it was a bit rough in some places.
Due to heavy rain, the boat transfer service across the river wasn't operating.
- Norbert (10/5): perfekt - gutes Frühstück, super Zimmer, Yogabereich im Zimmer, schöner Pool, in der Natur mit vielen Vögeln nichts
- yael (10/5): המלצה חמה - מלון ברמה גבוהה מאוד.
מיקום מושלם על גדת הנהר עם נוף מהמם
הצוות ומנהל המקום אנשים מקסימים ועשו הכל על מנת להנעים את זמננו, באו לקראתנו והיו אדיבים מאוד. תודה!
סוויטת המשפחה ענקית ומעוצבת בטוב טעם, מקלחת ואמבטיה מפנקים ונקיים ללא רבב. מיטות נוחות וגדולות וארוחות הערב והבוקר ברמת מסעדת שף. מנות יחודיות וטעימות מאוד. הצוות אף דאג לקטנה בת ה5 והכינו לה במיוחד מנת פסטה למרות שהמנה לא היתה בתפריט.
דבר יחודי נוסף הוא שעל מנת להגיע למלון יש צורך בסירה לחציית הנהר! גם לכך דואג הצוות במקצועיות רבה. פשוט קסם של מקום
תודה רבה לכם על האירוח! היה קשה לעזוב
- Mónica (9/5): - El entorno único, personal muy amable y habitaciónes espectaculares Nada
- Diane (10/5): - L'établissement, le personnel, le confort est juste incroyable !
C'était notre premier logement dans un roadtrip de 3 semaines au Sri Lanka, et c'est l'un de nos meilleurs souvenirs.
Le cadre est magnifique, l'arrivée en bateau est atypique et très agréable.
Je recommande à 100% cet établissement, et nous y reviendrons, c'est sûr. La restauration mérite d'être améliorée.
- Birgit (8/5): - Sehr schönes Hotel, Überfahrt ein Erlebnis, sehr freundliches Personal.
Zimmer geräumig und sauber. Perfekt für einen kurzen Aufenthalt zum Raften.
Wir waren allerdings fast alleine dort. Yoga haben wir nicht ausprobiert. Panorama unbeschreiblich schön. Preis-Leistung, Essen abends sehr teuer . Keine Abwechslung im Menü und nur kleine Karte. Aufgrund der Lage muss man eigentlich dort essen.
Kein Alkohol, muss man selber mitbringen.
Pool schoen, aber das Wasser war sehr trüb.
- Piet (9/5): - I enjoyed my conversations most with the manager, a smart and wise man who shared his philosophical views on the region and showed a great interest in his guests. The menu in the evenings is a bit uninspired.
- Wouter (9/5): - Very beautiful environment, in the middle of nature, at the front of the river.
Very helpful and attentive staff. We arrived in the early morning and the prepared our room already. We really appreciate that as we were very tired because of the jetlag.
Nice swimmingpool and garden. A good place for birdwatchers too! We wanted to kayak with our family. But the hotel has only one monokayak. That means that we were not able to do this as a family activity. We were a little dissapointed about that.
- emma (7/5): Fantastic place to stay for water rafting, canyoning etc. Lovely and helpful staff, very special location in jungle - Wonderful location, very relaxed. Very helpful manager and staff The restaurant food was not the best we had on our travels
- VIVEK (9/5): -
- Doron (10/5): -
- Alexander (9/5): Paradijselijk verblijf met ruime kamers, super douche en ruim zwembad - Een prachtig gelegen hotel aan een rivier met groot zwembad en veel plekken in te relaxen. Goede suggesties vd eigenaar om te wandelen en raften wat geweldig was! Het was laagseizoen en het bedienend personeel liet soms nog weleens tafeltjes onafgeruimd. Dat viel me als enige op.
- amir (8/5): מקום מהמם - מקום מהמם, צוות מדהים, שירות ברמה גבוהה מאד, חדרים גדולים מאד, נקיים ותחזוקה ברמה גבוהה בקרבת מקום רפטינג מגניב למשפחות, שיצאנו לדרך הצוות הכין לכל אחד מאיתנו שקית עם סנדוויץ' שתייה ופרי. האוכל במקום מתאים לחך הסרילנקי ( אם להזמין אז מנות צמחוניות )
- Charith (6/5): - Location of the hotel
- Mees (8/5): -
- Ollie (9/5): Comfortable and relaxing riverfront stay - Enjoyed 3 nights here in this wonderfully calm spot. Being shuttled over by boat was great fun and felt special. Spacious rooms (deluxe double), lovely pool and views. Staff friendly and attentive. 20 mins or so from adventure sports (rafting, canyoning etc) - we really enjoyed our stay. More like an improvement opportunity - a bit more variety on the menu would be great.
- Michaela (10/5): Very nice stay and definitely a recommendation. - Super friendly and helpful manager and staff; good food; nice location for rafting and some of the sports adventures - a bit special as it is on the other side of the Kelani river; good internet; quiet.
- Ofir (10/5): Exceptional - Amaizing Place, perfect staff. Best place in Sri Lanka.
- Michael (9/5): Great food and nice atmosphere next to the river - Excellent staff and service, combined with very good food and nice atmosphere next to the river in the jungle.
- Evangelos (10/5): Awesome resort - The staff, the facilities The fact that the resorts is only 6 mo the and they still had not employed theor massage team. But maybe that's a reason to visit again!
- Bianca (9/5): Superb - Hotel was absolutely stunning and the location was breathtaking. The dinner and breakfast were world class. Hats off to the chef. We were disappointed our room was not made up. It is the only thing we could fault. Other than that Perfection.
- Nicklas (10/5): Amazing place in Kitulgala - Everything is even more beautiful than the pictures, the food is excellent and the beds are amazing I can only recommend this place.
I would definitely come back.
- Ylenia (10/5): A perfect stay with exceptional hospitality - My sister and I loved our stay at Aramya Hotel—everything was simply perfect! The staff was beyond kind, always ready to assist and help. We arranged activities like jungle walks, abseiling and rafting through the hotel, and each experience was incredible. Our room was sparkling clean and spacious, with a stunning river view and a lovely balcony. The hotel itself is amazing, featuring a large pool, a beautiful garden, and stunning interior design. We enjoyed all our meals at the property, which offered delicious vegan options—something we truly appreciated. We really appreciated that the hotel provides refillable glass jars in the rooms instead of promoting single-use plastic bottles. It’s a shame we only stayed for two nights; we would definitely love to come back!
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place. Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka. Blown away by wonderful Sri Lankan hospitality again. Such good food. Pool was fantastic to swim in as well as option to swim in river. Very peaceful location, perfect for relaxing. Accessed by little boat ride across the river. Highly recommend. Only wish we could have stayed longer!
- Mike (10/5): Exceptional - The most relaxing place we have ever been! From the serene atmosphere to the exceptional hospitality, every moment was pure bliss. Perfect for unwinding and escaping the hustle of daily life. Highly recommended.
- Lalith (10/5): 'Aramya' is the most relaxing place we have ever been, for a long time. - Well the breakfast we ordered was great. We liked the fruits and the fruit juice very much.Coffee ordered was good quality
and we enjoyed the breakfast, overall. Everything was perfect during our stay. There was nothing we disliked. Staff were very attentive and we felt that we were with our family members. So , it was a great stay.
- Naomi (10/5): An exceptional hotel in a fab location with friendly and helpful staff !! Rafting and Canyoning nearby. - Great aspect/position overlooking the river, great bird life on view. Staff were very helpful with everything. Food excellent and varied. All in all one of our best stays. Nothing 😁
- Clifford (9/5): Stunning location - Beautiful hotel in a stunning and quiet setting. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were the only 2 guests so it lacked any atmosphere. The hotel doesn’t sell alcohol so we couldn’t have drink with our meal. The bathroom was big enough but very poorly laid out, and had a smell of drains.
- Don (9/5): Superb -
- Wisse (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chantal (9/5): Perfect stop when you go river rafting! - Amazing views. Perfect place to stay when you want to go river rafting. Super friendly staff! Nothing we did not like.
- Diana (10/5): Simply wonderful retreat hotel - Amazing hotel in the middle of nowhere surrounded by forest. You arrive by boat and are transported into a tranquil calm. The staff are fantastic, especially Badoil in the restaurant. Food is delicious. They couldn't do more to please. Nothing at all. It was wonderful. If you want any alcohol you need to bring your own as it is a meditation centre. In the middle of nowhere so don't expect to be popping out anywhere. Just sit back and relax.
- Sanjay (10/5): Excellent property surrounded by nature - overall excellent property. it's just 6 months old so very neat, crisp and with superb interiors. The location is awesome just above a river. The transfer is done by boat due to it's narrow path which is very thrilling and exciting. (they are building a ropeway in near future) The staff is very much cordial and very helpful. specially Mr.Dolip the manager was really helpful. they cooked special vegetarian food for us which was really delicious. they provided us free Kayak and Our daughter enjoyed the kayaking very much. overall we really enjoyed the stay and we regret that we booked only 1 night as we could easily stay here for minimum 3 nights. qe look forward to come here again. The foot massage provided by the masseue was not at all upto the mark. they could hire someone who knows the job.
- Jan (10/5): Magic - We were fortunate to have booked this hotel for 8 nights. We needed some rest and this was the perfect place to do it.
We instantly felt part of the Aramya family. Amazing staff and manager, super friendly and always willing to help. The chef made delicious food and we were looking forward to a new meal every day.
Last but not least: the hotel is located on a stunning location. In the middle of the jungle with fantastic birds. We also loved the neighbourhood and that is not yet discovered by tourists. We could have easily spend more nights 😍 nothing
- Sierk (10/5): An island of tranquility in the middle of a beautiful jungle - The hotel stood quiet in the jungle, its edges wrapped in green. A place of stillness. A place to breathe. The building was new, clean, and the pool lay there like a promise, blue and calm under the sky. You arrived not by road but by boat, which was something different and good. It made the place feel apart from the world. It made it feel yours.
The staff moved with kindness and care.
Thilanka at the counter made everything easy. He could arrange everything. Things like: canyoning, rafting and kayaking. He smiled and helped without needing to be asked.
Then there was Dolip, the waiter and cleaner. He worked hard and stayed polite. These two men made the place more than just a hotel.
It was good there. The jungle, the boat, the quiet. It stayed with you after you left. That’s how you know it was worth it. -
- Duncan (10/5): Exceptional - All outstanding. Dinner was excellent. We will be back !
- Monika (9/5): Very Comfortable stay - An oasis in the Desert property
Interesting rooms with a yoga setup on the loft
Pool facing the river
Good Breakfast No complaints
- Rachael (9/5): Superb - Amazing hotel rooms and location. This is a little off the grid , either a boat across the river or a tuk tuk if the weather is bad. The rooms are very spacious and pool area is lovely. Overall a very relaxing stay with very kind and accomodating staff. Breakfast and dinner were amazing. Thanks for the stay.
- Karin (9/5): Wonderful stay, I definitely recommend it! - Beautiful location, in the middle of the rainforest, next to the river (and they pick you up with a little boat which is a cool experience!). The rooms are spacious and very clean, and great beds!
- Stace (10/5): Absolutely perfect way to spend our honeymoon - Absolutely amazing location. Right next to the river, serene and quiet.
Gorgeous looking building well finished Nothing
- Sajeewa (10/5): It was a very very relaxing experience. - Peaceful location Nothing
- Vidura (10/5): Unforgettable Birthday Stay – Amazing Service and Thoughtful Touches! - We arranged for my in-laws to stay at this hotel as a special birthday gift for my father-in-law, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From the start, the staff went above and beyond to make their stay truly memorable. Not only did they provide a beautifully decorated birthday cake, but they also arranged for soothing foot massages, adding an extra layer of care that made the occasion even more special.
The hotel’s location by the river added a serene and picturesque backdrop to their stay, making it a perfect setting for relaxation and celebration. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable, and my in-laws couldn’t stop raving about the delicious food they enjoyed each day. The hotel staff's dedication to making guests feel valued and pampered was evident in every detail.
My in-laws had an incredible experience, and we couldn’t be more grateful to the hotel team for making it happen. If you’re looking for a place that offers not just great amenities but also a truly personal touch, this hotel is the perfect choice. We highly recommend it for anyone seeking a memorable and stress-free stay.
- Wanderlusting (10/5): Memorable! - What a hidden gem we have found! Although slightly put off initially by the rate p/n, we soon realised how fairly priced it is! We got to enjoy a 1-hour long foot, head and shoulder massage, breakfast, lunch and dinner with unlimited tea and soft drinks, morning yoga session all included in the price. The instructor led yoga session was one of the main highlights of our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. It was our first time trying the in-room aerial yoga facility which was such a wonderful experience. Another highlight was the complimentary water rafting which was so much fun and the views will last in our memories forever. We will also dearly miss the impeccable butler service by Saman - overall, an unforgettable stay and wish we had more time to enjoy all the facilities in this brand new hotel. We were unfortunate with the weather due to rain, but it was a kind of a blessing because we were able to enjoy our massages and solo dance therapy while it rained.
