Guest Reviews

• Patrizia (6/5): Sri Lanka Dambulla - Ho dovuto cambiare camera con un amico uomo perché l hotel era privo di ospiti ed una donna sola non poteva certo soggiornare. Hotel non finito.cantiere in funzione. Non lo consiglio
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It's the grounds that made me fall in love with this place. Intimate & beautiful but big enough that you can stretch out your legs by strolling through well cared for gardens. Lots of flowers. A small bubbling river wraps around the property & there is this perfect spot along the river where you can sit on a bench and take in the sounds of the forest and the view of mountains in the distance. Pure bliss! The hotel itself is close to the main highway, but tucked just far enough back from the road that the noise is mostly gone. It isn't right in Dambulla, but it's fairly easy to catch a bus or call a tuk-tuk, you'd need to do that at most places to get to the sights anyway. Food - Fantastic! And the restaurant is built around a massive tree. Pretty awesome. You just need tell the staff in advance when you'd like to eat & your meal will be ready on time. All in all, the staff were extremely respectful, friendly and helpful. Room was cleaned daily. Wifi, TV, hot water, room all in good order. I stayed for 3 nights and would have loved to stay longer. I was very well cared for here & would definitely stay here again if I ever get the chance.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Helpful staff, no pool. - A nice place that might need a little work on the details. Unfortunately the pool was out of commission/being renovated and by the looks of it for quite a while. Very nice and helpful staff that gladly answered questions and helped out to make our stay and continuing journey as good as possible.
• Jonathan (8/5): Worth the money - Clean, good views and relaxing. Food a bit hit and miss though.
• willy (2/5): A fuir - Chambre très moyenne et vieillotte 1h pour avoir l'entrée au restaurant
• Joy (10/5): Mountain get away - It is a long drive from Colombo to the hotel but I was greeted by a driver waiting for me arranged by the hotel. The property is lovely and green. Very serene and quiet. The staff was accommodating by helping me plan my day with activities. They arranged a car to take me around while I did my sight seeing. The location is perfect to see all the sites within Matale and Kandy. Would definitely recommend coming here.
• Kathy (10/5): Excellent Quiet Five Star Hotel - We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Governor's Gargula. We received excellent service from the staff and the food was exceptional. The hotel is located about 6 Km outside of Dambulla and used this hotel as a base to visit many of the sites in the area (Dambula Caves, Sigiriya (Lion's) Rock, and Ruins of Polonnaruwala). Not really walkable to anywhere but most of these sites have to be driven to anyway. I would highly recommend this hotel.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel. not yet great - At first the hotel seemed to still be under construction (they are building a new expansion building). There was no one to receive and check us in. We were hesitating and I went to double check the cancellation policy. I was about to change hotels. But later the Hotel manager/room service/waiter came out and he was very helpful, and went out of the way to accommodate us; my friend wanted coconut water which wasn't on the menu of drinks, but the manager managed to get one and bring it to us. The part of the property that is built is very beautiful and with a nice swimming pool, river views and manicured gardens. The room was simple. Our biggest complaint is that the air conditioner did not work well at all, and kept dripping water the whole time. 4 towels and a call to the manager to help clean and deal with the problem didn't help and by the morning there was a pool of water in front of the bed. As a precaution the manager moved the TV from its place, so watching television was not an option that night. I think the fact that there are no glass windows only wooden shutters leeks the hot air into the room and creates the condensation. The food was tasty, but ordering food is funny. We have to order one meal in advance; upon arrival we ordered dinner to be served 6 hours later and during dinner we ordered breakfast for the next day. we also had to specify the time we wanted to eat. The hotel room we booked was full board so all the meals were included.
