Guest Reviews
- Trevor (10/5): Great hotel in lovely setting - This place is a real gem, lovely setting with views over the lagoon and rain trees. There is a great viewing platform where you can have a drink and watch not only the sunset but the giant fruit bats leaving the rain trees for there evening meal. The staff are without exception friendly and helpful and the food absolutely delicious. The owner is ever present and absolutely lovely and genuine he took us to see his farm, orchard and rice field just round the corner and treated us to a coconut juice from the orchard. Really eco friendly and locally produced vibe. The photos on line do not do this place justice.
- Thuy (10/5): Wonderful stay at the Raintree. - Amazing service and hospitality. Rooms were large and comfortable. The nearby fruit bats were interesting to watch and the views from the rooftop was wonderful. Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Stay only for few hours, the staff are friendly and helpful. The hot water for shower is not strong enough. Overall feel comfort.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Excellent 4 star hotel - An excellent hotel with great views of the daily bird and bat migration and easily accessible to yala national park. Facilities excellent. Female staff excellent, informative, helpful and friendly. Males more salesman. All reviews require a room for improvement which has to the be the cost of restaurant breakfast & buffet dinner which was shockingly high.
- Chanaka (10/5): - We are a couple who likes to travel and experience around Sri Lanka. We selected this place because of the nice surrounding and also good ratings they had. Actually we also felt that this is one of the best places around Katharagama and Tissa. Very clean and comfortable. Staff is very clean and helpful. You can get lots of information from them. And this place is perfect for bird watching. Don't miss this place if you are planning to visit this area. Their buffet is one of the best around that area and they have some organic farms and you can enjoy some fresh / healthy meals.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good location near to yala safari. The host and staffs are super friendly and helpful. Very nice view on the rooftop. Lots of bats on trees nearby in the afternoon, stunning view!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice Place with magnificent views and experience - Magnificent view from room and we saw a lot flying foxes at the top of hotel roof. Big room and very com to stay. The manager Charilh friendly introduced us a lot about Safari tour but it was a pity my boyfriend got terrible fever and was not available to hang out early in the morning. To compensate the experience we went up to the roof and saw fantastic sunrise and sunset, many animals and Tissa Lake, Yatala Temple from the top of hotel. Thank you the Rain Tree(≧∇≦)b
- FIONA (10/5): 超棒的一次住宿体验-fiona - 非常喜欢这家位于湖边的酒店，喜欢酒店的位置，喜欢酒店的员工，喜欢酒店的老板，最喜欢酒店顶楼的百鸟归巢，以及蝙蝠出动，真的太震撼了，我发到我的微信朋友圈，朋友们都惊呆了哦，所以选择这家绝对没有错！
- Alexandra (10/5): Now 'bats' what I'm talking about - If you're looking for a hotel that ticks all of the boxes for a great stay then look no further. The staff were magnificent. On arrival the Receptionist greeted us with her lovely warm smile and promptly got us checked in and into our room. The catering staff were also very courteous and prepared us some great food. The room was spacious and clean with good air con and you even get a view of monkeys jumping around in the trees! The location is great if you're looking to visit the national parks (Yala, uda, etc). It was also my partner's birthday and they surprised him with a delicious birthday cake and a birthday message spelled out on the bed with flowers, a truly priceless gesture which really made our visit. Putting all that aside the true wonder of this location is what happens at around 6.30pm. Thousands of bats fly away from their resting tree directly over the hotel and you can view this all from the rooftop balcony (literally a few feet above you) and it's simply magnificent. Seeing these elusive creatures in such vast numbers flying across the sunset sky was not only the highlight of my stay, but one of the highlights of my holiday in Sri Lanka.
- Charlotte (8/5): Toll gelegenes freundliches Hotel - Wir waren für eine Übernachtung in diesem Hotel, um einen Ausflug in den Yala National Park zu machen. Dafür eignet es sich sehr gut. Es liegt an einem See, an dem man in der Dämmerung das Starten der Flughunde beobachten kann und dies sogar über eine eigene Dachterrasse vom Hotel aus. Das Hotelpersonal war überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Auswahl der Speisen beim Abendessen war groß und es hat gut geschmeckt. Für die Safari wurde uns sogar ein Lunchpack gemacht und wir konnten unsere Gepäckstücke ohne Probleme länger im Hotel lassen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!
- Jessica (10/5): - Our stay at the hotel was great. The staff were lovely and very accommodating taking us get around the town when it was needed. The rooms are very modern, the best we stayed in Sri Lanka. Our Safari tour was organised and managed to see the majority of the animals and the driver was respectful. The bats from the top of the hotel are a must see also! Very pleasant stay.
- Qiao (8/5): 值得推荐的好酒店。 - 整体很不错，在兰卡算很棒的酒店。特别是酒店顶层每天傍晚都能看漫天乌鸦出门寻食。
- Verified traveler (4/5): Room not available - The room we had booked and paid for was not available. We had booked a family room (2 interconnecting rooms), however for the first night this room type was not available so we all had to share the same room. We were not compensated for this.
- Verified traveler (6/5): 尚可 - 酒店內有很多小昆蟲。淋浴間滲水致浴室地板全濕，但房價確實相宜。酒店外面馬路有幾棵樹吊掛住大量蝙蝠，相當嚇人。
- Jean (8/5): Lovely friendly hotel with a swiming pool - Lovely hotel near the lake with its own swimming pool. Very nice well educated staff who are happy to engage with you if you want them too. Handy for Jeep trips to Yala. . Great birdwatching platform above the roof off the hotel where you get a great view of the flying foxes ( fruit bats) leaving at dusk from the surrounding trees.
- stephane (10/5): - très bon accueil, l'observatoire sur le toit de l'hôtel, le buffet du diner était très bon et l'environnement typique,magnifique et calme
- LMC (10/5): Lovely gardens and pool in a peaceful location - Feels very isolated when you first arrive but the grounds and garden are lovely and very peaceful, with plenty of seats in the shade to enjoy the views. The pool is great and very welcome on a hot day. Staff were great, organising a jeep safari and an onward car for us. Food is excellent. Only slight downside was the view from the balcony of our room, 101, which overlooked the car park.
- Peter (10/5): N8ce hotel cloce to a lake - The big rooms with tall windows and a balcony were a big advantage over other hotels I stayed in this country. The breakfast in the restaurant was good, dinner was buffet style with local and western food. The hotel provides safaris to Bundala and Yala National Parks.
- Christiane (10/5): Nice hotel with big, comfortable rooms - From check in to check out a very nice expirience. The staff was very attentive. The rooms big and bright. The whole hotel with huge glass windows let the light come in. On the roof is a viewing deck with views over the lake. At sunset thousends of flying foxes left the rain trees and passed the hotel. What a sight! This hotel is highly recommended for nature lovers.
