Guest Reviews

• Edward (9/5): -
• sthc242 (10/5): Wunderschöne Oase nahe Flughafen -
• Fiona (10/5): Feels like you're in the peaceful jungle yet only 15min from the airport - A return visit to this beautiful hotel - this time as a layover en route from Europe to Australia. We received gracious hospitality, the room was spacious and very quiet, the garden filled with bird-life to watch from the traditional veranda. Staff are attentive, and food delicious. Highly recommend for a soft landing/departure from Sri Lanka. I'll be keeping out my eye for yoga retreats in the new shala, too!
• Catherine (5/5): good overnight airport stop. Not for an extended holiday - Proximity to airport, food and courtesy of staff Dates and rooms a little shabby especially bathrooms
• Rao (10/5): -
• Peter (10/5): Tolle letzte Nacht - Sehr schöne Unterkunft und sehr gutes Essen. -
• Sylvia (10/5): Perfect start to a trip in Sri Lanka. - Beautifully appointed, excellent meals, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely pool area, very quiet environment. Nothing

• Adrian (10/5): -
• Anna (9/5): recommend - wonderful place to stay before flying home
• Judith (10/5): Exceptional - An absolutely beautiful place - an oasis of calm. Wonderful interiors and beautiful gardens and pool. Staff were friendly and attentive. Close to the airport so a perfect place to spend our last night. Could not fault it.
• Ben (10/5): -
• Cregor (10/5): Excellence - This is well run hospitality operation end to end A breath of fresh air of professional staff, super helpful There is one restaurant, this is fine, because the food and drinks are excellent. The chef enjoys his job and takes professional pride. Well done guys You set the standard for Sri Lanka very high now
• Simon (8/5): -
• Tamara (10/5): - Очень хороший массаж в спа и очень хорошая цена за процедуру. Предлагаемый трансфер очень дорогой, в 3 раза дороже такси.
• Francesca (8/5): Friendly and peaceful environment. - It’s a beautiful and peaceful hotel to arrive to from after a long plane journey. The staff are friendly and the food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the sound bath in the early evening in the meditation room. I don’t have any complaints.
• merid (8/5): -
• guy (10/5): - Everything was amazing. Very high level of luxury in all aspects. The garden the vibe. The room the food. Congratulations The quality of the mattress was fine. But not luxury like all other parameters of the hotel.
• James (10/5): -
• Susie (9/5): two nights in a perfect place to get ready for the trip home. - Great hotel only 20 minutes from Colombo airport. Lovely grounds and nice swimming pool area. Great rooms, and lovely dining options in the hotel. Also loved the yoga class. Just what we needed. nothing - its a great hotel.
• Olivia (7/5): -
• Jacqueline (10/5): Dipping a toe into Sri Lanka - It ticks all boxes for a first day in Sri Lanka or for a few days at the end as it’s so very close to the airport yet a million miles away. Food excellent, staff wonderful and so chilled out with some lovely touches. Nice pillows and bedding too. We were in room 21 and I wish we had a little more privacy. There’s no privacy blind so you have to keep the main blind closed due to the rooms location. This meant the room was lacking in natural light. Something they could think about is adding a lamp to the sitting area to create a little more ambiance. The light is quite stark in this area. Only an observation.
• Jacqueline Rosa (10/5): -
• Elena (10/5): - Outstanding food, service is far beyond to what was expected! I regret not to stay there extra number of days
• Richard (10/5): Hidden gem close to the airport. - Beautiful grounds. Very nice room. Service was top notch. Restaurant was also good. Not very close to much.
• Laura (10/5): Perfect intro or exit to Sri Lankan holiday - Large rooms, great social hour, relaxing grounds with games to play everywhere. Staff were excellent and spa was perfect treat before a flight Pool was in the shade and didn’t get much sun at all during the day which made it very cold and not a relaxing dip. More a cold plunge!
• Natalia (10/5): -
• John (10/5): -
• Rebecca (9/5): Very nice stay. Good breakfast, pleasant atmosphere. - It was a beautiful and quiet environment The staff was all men! The could us a few women’s amenities (make up mirror, larger closet, toiletries, etc).
• James (10/5): We only stayed one night but will definitely return. - It was a calm oasis, incredibly convenient for the airport and full of charm Style and gardens
• matthew (3/5): A disappointing stay in a very nice property which was spoiled by air-con and water problems. - Beautiful property, gardens and pool Air conditioning was very noisy and leaked all over our luggage. The twin beds were very narrow. In the morning there was no water for showers (due to a burst pipe.)
• Guy (10/5): - A hidden gem of tranquility and loveliness.
• Christina (10/5): -
• Noriyuki (9/5): -
• Elise (8/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): Ein aussergewöhnlich luxuriöser und ruhiger Aufenthalt mit exzellentem Service. - Das Hotel ist äusserst luxuriös und bietet einen hervorragenden Service auf höchstem Niveau. Das Personal ist fantastisch: aufmerksam, herzlich und sehr professionell. Die Anlage ist weitläufig, sehr ruhig und wunderschön gepflegt. Der grosse Pool lädt zum Entspannen ein und macht den Aufenthalt perfekt. Insgesamt war es ein rundum fantastischer Aufenthalt. Alles war in Ordnung, es gab nichts zu beanstanden.
• Frédéric (8/5): Bien mais trop cher pour la qualité offerte - Le calme et le magnifique jardin Établissement un peu vieillot Demande un rafraîchissement dans la chambre
• James (10/5): Get rest in a lovely setting with great staff after a long trip - Very quiet calm, peaceful and relaxing
• Radhika (10/5): Fantastic propert to stay in for 1-2 days. It’s very close to the airport and just minutes away from Colombo. It’s a per - One of the loveliest properties we’ve stayed at. It transported us back in time! The food was excellent, the staff very helpful and friendly!
• Margaret (10/5): -
• Margaret (10/5): -
• Tom (10/5): - Excelent
• William (10/5): Flying visit but perfect - What did I like about the property? Well it’s very tranquil and peaceful. The staff are very welcoming. They only have maybe 20 rooms which means it’s very calm. The hotel as a hole is way nicer than it probably looks like in the listing photos the rooms are incredible the bathrooms amazing the beds are really really comfortable. We visited as the very first stop of our honeymoon and they also upgraded as which was really kind of them the staff and their service was simply perfect. They even made us a big cake to congratulate on our marriage when we dined there for dinner. It also looked like the perfect place to go get some spa treatments. We just didn’t have the time whilst we were there and our flying visit. It seems very tranquil if you’re looking for somewhere to escape for a few days as a bit of a wellness centre look no further. There’s nothing I didn’t like about the property
• Janice (10/5): Outstanding and very relaxing - Fantastic location, brilliant staff and rooms was fabulous Would change nothing and will be back.
• Avril (10/5): -
• sally (10/5): -
• adrien (10/5): hotel nature - La suite était magnifique et spacieuse. hôtel avec beaucoup de charmes rien
• Roza (10/5): A Hidden Gem in Sri Lanka - Our stay at The Wallawwa was truly beyond imagination, magical from beginning to end. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome thanks to the wonderfully kind and friendly staff whose warmth and hospitality made our stay unforgettable. Dinner in the evening was a culinary delight, refined flavors, beautifully presented, and prepared with so much care. The breakfast the following morning was equally delightful: fresh, varied, and the perfect start to the day. The rooms and surroundings are even more stunning in real life than the photos suggest, in fact, almost too good to be true. The moment you step into the hotel, you experience its unique charm and serene atmosphere, something no picture can truly capture. On top of that, the location is ideal: just a short drive from the airport, making it the perfect place to either start or end your journey through Sri Lanka. A magical experience that we wholeheartedly recommend. We will definitely return. Bohoma Isthuthi.(බොහෝම ස්තූතියි)
• Serhii (8/5): -
• Olivia (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful place with incredibly kind staff and manager. A real haven for relaxation and brilliantly close to the airport yet so peaceful. We loved our tour of the vegetable gardens, the amazing pool and the children loved the kite making. The food was also delicious and all of the people working there were wonderful. We loved it and would love to come back, thank you for a wonderful stay! Nothing
• Cedric (10/5): Simply amazing - Fourth time there and I can't wait to return. The hotel is amazing! We love averything about it, huge rooms beautifully appointed, enormous bathrooms. Colonial feel, I strongly recommend the SPA, the restaurant (delicious Sri Lankan currys), lovely breakfasts and amazingly beautiful pool. All the staff is lovely and very professional. It's luxury in all its simplicity.
• Fleur (8/5): Lovely older style colonial boutique hotel close to the airport and away from the hustle of Colombo. - Lovely older style colonial boutique hotel close to airport and good as a stopover from Colombo. Could do with a refresh and had digging going on near the pool so it was noisy and smelt a bit. Food was not nearly as good as nine acres sister property. Only had one spa beautician on.
• Marc (10/5): -
• Fulker (9/5): -
• Matthijs (9/5): Als je snel in vakantiesfeer wilt zijn na je vlucht zeker een aanrader - Heel prettige plek om reis in Sri Lanka te starten. Prachtig hotel met goed restaurant en heerlijk zwembad. Alles heel ruim opgezet, vriendelijk personeel. Warm water was soms niet beschikbaar
• Lynsey (10/5): Beautiful property, gorgeous rooms, a pool to die for and fabulous food. 100% recommend this hote - Beautiful property, gorgeous rooms, a pool to die for and fabulous food. 100% recommend this hotel Nothing

• Zarinan (10/5): nice bryiani !!! - We had a day and night there We loved it ambience
• Rosie (9/5): Superb - Clean, very helpful staff. High chairs and cot available.
• Carlo (10/5): Beautiful historic hotel in Colombo - Stunning historic Mena house in a perfect location between Colombo and Colombo airport. The hotel is a true gem. Local cuisine is served at the restaurant ( amazing ) and the swimming pool is a great place to relax and unwind. Had one of the best massages of my life at the hotel spa ! I truly recommend it! Nothing
• Emmanuel (10/5): Unique 19th century historical mansion - What was once the residence of the Head Chieftain of Galle has been restored to a pristine condition and offers views on all sides on lush greenery. The rooms have beautiful volumes with natural light openings and connections with the lawn on one side and the inner pond on the other. Furniture and design are artfully true to the historical character of the site. Magnificent indoor pond surrounded by the unique inwards facing tiled roof. Service is impeccable from Mr Dinesh at the reception to Chandrakumar at dinner and Mr Lishant for breakfast. Glorious menu doing justice to local ingredients and wines spanning from New Zealand to France. The swimming pool surrounded by flowers and canopy is the perfect chilling spot prior to a happy hour centred around the local spirits. An unmistakable success by Teardrop!
• Silvia (8/5): Very good -
• Marie therese (10/5): Perfect hotel on arriving to Sri Lanka - Perfect one night stay after long flight - excellent service and facilities- staff are great - very good place to relax and recharge Excellent massage and great food

• Rajesh (7/5): Good -
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christopher (9/5): Superb -
• David (6/5): - Not Good Hotel Dated
• Rebecca (10/5): We loved rhe atmosphere, the kindness and the wonderful food. The spa’s facial and massage was fantastic! facial - The beautiful garden, the pool, the food, the kind service, the historic architecture. The room needed a little sprucing up….maintenance and paint!
• Clare (10/5): - An absolutely exceptional hotel. Can’t fault it in any way. Truly beautiful hotel, staff are impeccable, spa is amazing and good is outstanding.
• Roland (10/5): Exceptional -
• Milica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Penny (10/5): Relaxing, nurturing, indulgent and chilled - Location was perfect for the last two days of our 2 week long trip in Sri Lanka. A great place to chill and do yoga, have exceptional massages, eat the most delicious food before your long flight home. There is nothing much to see in the very local area so it really is a place to 'land' and settle either when you arrive in Colombo Airport or are leaving from it.
• Stephen (9/5): Great hotel before or after you start your Sri Lankan Experience - loved the property and the staff toilet seat broken duvet cover was shredded a the bottom the moisture in the room was high - sheets felt wet
• Stephen (8/5): Very good - Beautiful property and gardens with an old colonial feel. It was a shame we could only stay one night. The breakfast was exceptionally excellent and the staff in the restaurant very friendly. The room was a bit small, but they obviously have to work with the structure they had. More thought could have been given to the lushness of the planting around the room terrace, which looked a bit sad with a couple of chairs and a table in the middle. of a bare space.
• Victorine (10/5): Fantastic stay in old colonial house - Beautiful colonial house, very large rooms and bathrooms, excellent food for dining and breakfasts, large garden with beautiful swimming and nice spa. Staff is extremely friendly and professional and helpful. Everything was perfect! Need to book the spa in advance as there wasn’t enough slot available for us which was a shame
• Philippa (10/5): Bliss. The perfect way to start and finish our family trip around Sri Lanka. - Beautiful boutique hotel close to the airport (but you’d never know). They had a fairly extensive menu considering this is not a big property and it was delicious. The staff were exceptional and we loved our stay of three nights here. They had complimentary afternoon tea and drinks every afternoon which was a fabulous touch, which you took on the veranda. The kids played croquet on the lawn while we’d have a G&T and then return for a board game with us. Couldn’t have been more perfect. Nothing. It was impeccable.
• Joanna (10/5): Exceptional - Gorgeous rooms, delicious breakfast, helpful and friendly staff. We were given a complimentary upgrade upon arrival.
• Marwa (10/5): A great way to start or end your trip in Sri Lanka - It was a nice stay and a great way to end my trip in Sri Lanka before heading to the airport. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. The staff were very friendly. The spa facilities and services were amazing. I will definitely book it again in my next trip. I just wish there was a pathway to go for a walk within the hotel. Otherwise everything else is nice.
• Mark (10/5): A very relaxing stay with lovely food and great service - It’s a very elegant place with lovely gardens and lots of comfortable areas to sit and enjoy the trees and plants .
• Rahman (6/5): Good hotel close to airport, but cost of extras is very high. - Close to airport in quiet location with a very nice pool, huge room. Free drinks during happy hour every evening Cost of incidentals is very high, food beverages etc, and there is not a lot of choice nearby.
• Stephen (9/5): Indulgent stay in an old colonial house in stunning gardens with a fabulous pool. - An impressive oasis a short drive from the airport. Gorgeous food and wonderful knowledgeable staff. Spa experience was a little underwhelming.
• A (8/5): Tucked-away boutique hotel with flair in close proximity to Bandaranaike International Airport... - Lovely property in close proximity to Colombo International Airport. 18-room boutique hotel with high-ceiling rooms and fabulous verandas and a nestled-away pool area. The packed breakfast to facilitate our crack-of-dawn getaway was a lovely touch... The staff overall was most accommodating... A blend of colonial and modern contemporary, this fusion somewhat compromises authenticity. The dinner menu is definitely weighted to meat and fish options but can be modified to suit vegan / vegetarian preferences...
• Philippa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Antonio (9/5): Superb -
• Mohamed (10/5): - Overall a great place to stay and great facilities. Service could have been a touch better especially at meal times.
• Filipa (10/5): Exceptional -
