Guest Reviews
- عمر الحمادي (10/5): فندق رائع جدا - رائع جدا و نظيف جدا.
الموظفون محترفون و متعاونون جدا.
أنصح به. لا شيء اطلاقا.
- David (8/5): - že do takového hotelu jede někdo se třemi dětmi a dělá tam bordel a řev
- Alexander (9/5): - Отличный отель, красивые виды, тишина, мало гостей, приятный персонал, интересный номер, вкусно готовили, особенно местные блюда. Однозначно рекомендую!
Вернулись бы сюда и сняли бы номер на верхнем этаже. Пару замечаний, которые не особо повляли на общее, впечатление, но, если их решить, было бы еще лучше.
1) проблемы с горячей водой, она быстро заканчивалась, тяжело было набрать ванну.
2) пару раз в номере выключалось электричество.
- Katie (10/5): - Everything was absolutely amazing! Property is gorgeous, staff were lovely and very attentive and the overall experience was top notch. Would absolutely recommend staying here!!
- Wodge (10/5): Honeymoon spot, immaculate vibes, perfect for total relaxation and best view from room I’ve ever seen -
- Aamna (10/5): -
- Shreyasi (9/5): Comfortable stay - Beautiful location and very comfortable resort. Lovely staff. We stayed at one of the sky pavilion rooms.
- Bernd (8/5): Tolle Unterkunft, außergewöhnlich gute Lage, toller Gartrn, sehr leckeres Essen, unglaubliche Natur. - Unglaubliche Lage, tolles Essen, tolle Zimmer mit eigenem Pool und Außenbadewanne Man wird von den Angestellten nicht immer wahrgenommen. Bei einem Aufenthalt am Hotelpool mussten wir nach einer halben Stunde einen Mitarbeiter holen um etwas zu bestellen. Da erwartet man mehr, zumal wir in SriLanka deutlich besseren Service bekommen haben. Auch das ständige laute Klingeln der Mitarbeiter-Telefone hat die Idylle gestört.
- THAEER (10/5): Great location and wonderful villa.we stayed in the pavilion villa which was amazing,stuff is very kind and helpful.the - Great location and wonderful villa Overpriced food!
- Safaa (9/5): - Le cadre est magnifique. Pour se détendre, loin du vacarme de Colombo, l n y a pas mieux, le personnel est à l'écoute . Belle expérience à refaire
- Alan (10/5): A wonderful welcome to the nature and beauty of Sri Lanka - This small hotel comprises nine villas set in beautifully kept grounds in the hills outside Kandy. Our villa had views of the sunrise over the mountains, and we were surrounded by forest with many birds, butterflies and animals including deer and monkeys (and one tiny lizard). We ate in the restaurant almost every night and enjoyed fresh produce from the gardens. There is a mix of Western and Sri Lankan food, the traditional curry a particular favourite, all excellent. Any special culinary requests at any time were catered for. The villa was peaceful, except for the expected forest sounds, with a small private pool and an outdoor jacuzzi. In the morning the patio was sunny, and in the evening we relaxed in the shade and looked out over the forest. There is a larger, shared pool for swimming, with magnificent views.
Particular thanks to all the helpful staff, especially Dulan and Geetha the managers, Lakshman the butler and Dilshan our driver who did everything they could to make our stay a pleasant one. The service provided was the very best. We enjoyed several excursions: of particular note the Buddhist Temple of the Tooth and the wild elephant safari. After a week there were still many things that we had not seen. The whole experience was definitely worth the price paid. It is a friendly hotel and we would gladly return.
- Joanne (9/5): Stunning views & beautifully large rooms. - Secluded place with fabulous views. The main pool really nice but you have you own plunge pool too. Our room was large & the view over to the Knuckles Mountains was stunning. Comfy bed & large bathroom. Very tranquil place. Watch out for the monkeys by your pool! Only minor point was our terrace & pool in the shade all the time so can’t sunbathe at your own villa - had to go to the main pool. Food was ok, wouldn’t say stunning. We are small plates for our dinner the evening we were there but felt a bit average.
- Tracy (10/5): A fabulous short stop over whilst travelling around Sri Lanka amazing food and the hotel staff were so attentive Thankyo - Beautiful property set in the hills , beautiful lounge pool and views are stunning . Spa facilities luxurious room and bathroom . The chef is exceptional the food was out of this world would definitely return as just passing through . We had massages which were 10/10 Nothing to dislike amazing natural sounds at night lots of wildlife
- Arina (10/5): - Thank you for pleasant stay, definitely will return. such a stunning view. Have seen a lot of birds during our stay, the service was also warm and supportive.
- Krists (10/5): -
- murat (9/5): We had a pleasant time during our two-day stay. They were attentive and sincere in meeting our needs. They place great i - everything
- Andrei Razvan (9/5): Great landscape with amazing staff, but too expensive - Fantastic scenario landscape and fantastic staff. Gihan was amazing and Ishan did a great job. Congratulations for the staff. Most of the facilities are overpriced. Doesn’t justify the price-value ratio.
- mudawi (9/5): -
- Dalia (10/5): Absolute bliss, unparalleled luxury with stunning views over private infinity pool - Stunning room and incredible views, total seclusion and luxury Loved everything but could have been more comfortable chairs in restaurant
- Nibal (8/5): Luxury in the middle of the jungle - Our villa faced a beautiful mountain and we felt the luxury in the middle of the nature. Everything was priced in dollars and a bit overpriced.
- Tobias (10/5): -
- Sivertsen (10/5): -
- Emma (9/5): Beautiful villas with private pools and stunning scenic views over the hills - The villas are beautiful. Tastefully decorated with indoor/outdoor bathrooms and a lovely pool with each property. Views over the hills are magnificent It’s not in the centre of Kandy so it’s a drive away
Prices for taxis and trips quoted by the hotel are very expensive and it’s way cheaper to organise these things yourself
- Kevin (10/5): -
- Katie (9/5): Excellent - wouldn’t hesitate to stay again! - We spent two nights at Aarunya Nature Resort as part of our honeymoon in Sri Lanka. We were completely blown away by the view upon arrival, it’s such a beautiful surrounding and the grounds are perfectly maintained. We we were warmly welcomed by Namal, our personal butler during our stay. I wish I had the words to describe just how much we appreciated Namal, he went far beyond our expectations. Kind, caring, hilarious and just an absolute joy to be around - we loved the energy he brought to our stay. My wife and I have a small fear of insects/ reptiles, and Namal was calm and reassuring us not to worry.
We stayed in ‘Pepper’ which was a lovely Sky Villa with pool and hot tub and was really spacious but cosy and had all the facilities we needed. It was an enclosed bathroom which worked better for us. The food was incredible and the highlight was the New Year celebration. We celebrated with a lovely tasting menu and live entertainment with cultural dances. We’ll never forget staying at Aarunya Nature Resort, thanks for playing such a key part of our honeymoon. Private pool could have been slightly warmer.

- Dhay (10/5): Perfect - The luxurious It’s more far away from downtown
- Tatiana (10/5): - Such a beautiful place, amazing staff willing to help and to make your stay unforgettable. So peaceful and calm.
- Timothy (10/5): - Spa was professional.
- Anders (8/5): - Very friendly staff. Sometimes lacking attention to detail especially given the price level. The local food was fantastic however the rest of the food was mediocre
- Yasir (10/5): I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality and enjoyable hospitality experience. -
- Mai (10/5): I recommend deeply - “Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. The place is very quiet, and the view is simply amazing.” “The concept of open toilets is beautiful, but I was concerned about the possibility of finding insects inside. It would be better to install folding net doors instead of a curtain.”
“There is another accommodation with closed toilets , but I really loved mine — the room was spectacular.”
- BUTTI (10/5): special thanks to the front desk Mr. Chathuranga and the butlers ( Mr.Gihan + Mr. Namal ) these are the people who makes - the view of the mountain and the sky moving above the villa , it’s amazing,,, fast room service and very respectful people ,,, i will come again it’s worth it . many insects due to location middle of the jungle.
- Faris (10/5): To all staff members Thanks for your service and dedication to provide a great experience - Very nice place and staff
I highly suggest you visit it
- Maryam (10/5): -
- Eric (10/5): 100% aanrader!! - Prachtige locatie, zelden zoiets gezien. Fantastisch uitzicht vanuit je slaapkamer. Super vriendelijk personeel en heerlijk eten. Een massage is echt de moeite waard en een mooie beleving.
- Saif (10/5): Amazing resort - I stayed at this hotel for two nights, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The property is stunning, with exceptional staff who made me feel genuinely welcomed. The spa was wonderful, and the villas provided complete privacy, featuring a private jacuzzi and swimming pool. Everything was perfect, and I can’t wait to come back. Nothing

- Arianna (10/5): The position was marvellous, surrounded by green with verdant landscapes and the sounds of birds and leafs were music, i - Position, room, view, staff and service
- Rafhanah (8/5): Breathtaking views, exceptional hospitality and the perfect start to our Sri Lankan honeymoon - We began our honeymoon in Sri Lanka at this stunning retreat, and it was the perfect, magical two-day stay. We stayed in the Sky Pavilion Villa, which includes a heated jacuzzi and a plunge pool overlooking the Knuckles Mountain Range. It is absolutely breathtaking here, although we only managed to enjoy the view on the second day as it was really misty and foggy on our first.
The food here is consistently amazing, and the 9-course Sri Lankan curry is an absolute must-try! Our butler, Gihan, is wonderful and incredibly attentive, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The entire team, from the GM, front of house, to the restaurant, and ground staff, were all lovely and kind, making us feel right at home.
The property is well-maintained, clean and has a large main pool with breathtaking views. You can take scenic walks around the property, which is a wonderful experience on it its own. It is an ideal retreat for couples seeking a romantic getaway :) The plunge pool is not heated and quite small/shallow given the price point. We didn’t use it in the end but enjoyed an afternoon in the heated jacuzzi!
- Rosie (9/5): Ideal place for our honeymoon - We loved our stay at Aarunya, it’s such a peaceful and tranquil place among the lush surroundings. The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to make our honeymoon stay memorable. Would highly recommend the 9 course traditional Sri Lankan feast in the mud house, what an experience!! We stayed in the sky pavilion villa which was very spacious and beautiful - one thing I wish I’d known is that the sun disappeared from the deck/pool area around lunchtime - makes for a beautiful sunrise though! Great food and cocktails too. The massage experience was quite underwhelming for the price (beware the menu doesn’t include taxes & service charges) and if you’re looking to do the chocolate making class, double check whether cocoa beans are in season otherwise it’s a bit pointless!
- Nivedita (10/5): Unreal views from the hotel pool. - The rooms are amazing and the views are exceptional and will stay with me for a long time. The people working there were lovely and went out of their way to accommodate us. The food was excellent. Nothing!
- Stephen (10/5): amazing property and staff - amazing property in the mountains everything was perfect
- Marco (3/5): Not the money worth. We don’t recommend it for this price. - Nice view and engaged staff but this is simply not enough if you charge c. 750USD/Night - lack of hot water which is not acceptable in this price category
- room is smelly because of lack of air circulation (I guess that they want to make sure no bugs can enter the room)
- Engaged staff but a lot of misunderstandings all the time (eg bringing weong things at breakfast)
- completely overpriced services (e.g. wanted to charge us 130USD for a day trip to Kandy - we found a driver for less than half the price)
- Food is ok but overpriced (same as everything)
- They wanted to charge us more for their SPA program than written in their menu (that made us upset and we did not book it then)
- Samer (9/5): Superb -
- Elizabeth (6/5): Beautiful hotel with amazing views, but the secluded spot is difficult for transport unless you’re willing to pay the ho - Rooms, food and staff The hotel is in a secluded spot, which is beautiful. However the hotel quoted us an extortionate amount of money for a transfer to our next destination. They were not helpful with finding us a cheaper taxi or providing us with an alternative route.
- Sultan (10/5): We stayed for couple of nights in the sky room. We truly loved everything about this resort. Absolutely stunning and bea - Literally everything Nothing
- Agita (9/5): Great place to stay but a little too expensive. - Great place to stay. Welcome massage and private butler. Room was nice and clean.
- Oconnor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional - When booking this Hotel I thought it looked nice, but that just do not do it justice. The welcome was perfect with an intro massage whilst checking in. The views from the reception are absolutely stunning set in an idyllic location. The staff were incredibly attentive, the room was exceptional with an in nature feel about it being so well positioned and overlooking the nature park. The only noises to hear were nature itself. Wonderful choices for food and drinks both local and international. there is nothing not to like about this place.
I wish the stay had been longer.
- مانع (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about the resort is fabulous: food, spa, views, cleanliness and staff. Spending at least two days is a must.
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Leena (10/5): The service is incredible Namal and Aseela thank you - The views are incredible the service is 10/10 specially Namal and Aseela they made our trip. The traditional 9 course Sri Lankan dinner was out of this world
- Danish (9/5): Superb -
- Shadi (9/5): Superb - he place is absolutely delightful,in a nice location. The staff were not only helpful but exceptionally kind. The property is beautifully surrounded by lush trees and exotic fruit varieties. We enjoyed a comprehensive tour, a delicious traditional Sri Lankan dinner, and an engaging cooking class—each experience exceeded our expectations.
A special mention goes to Namal, a staff member who led us on the property tour. His extensive knowledge about the various herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables was both enlightening and entertaining. He made the tour informative and enjoyable with his great sense of humor.
We also enjoyed daily Yoga sessions with Sampath, our lovely yoga teacher.
The bed was really comfortable, and the room had all what we needed. The food was great, particularly during the cooking class, which we highly recommend. Overall, our stay was wonderful, and we enthusiastically recommend this place to others. We had an all inclusive stay, which included a daily 30 min spa treatment. Although the massage therapists were kind, the treatments were not good at all and did not meet our expectations.
- Cameron (9/5): Superb - Stunning location and very friendly staff Na
- Smit (10/5): A stay in heaven! - Everything especially staff, rooms, view etc
- Mekhriakov (9/5): Stunning view , good food and drinks , close to nature as much as it possible - First of all it’s truly amazing place . Let’s start from breakfast , it was a little bit annoying since day 2 . So it’s 7/10 . Lunch and dinner were 10/10 . Very good , a big various of meals makes this incredibly good experience. Room was in Indiana Jones style - you better see it yourself . Close to nature as much as it possible . Stuff was very kind and attentive. About spa it’s a little bit different what we used to be . Only 1 specialist . But let me say she is good . You can try but it’s a little bit wild . So as a conclusion we are highly recommend to visit this hotel . By the way we had “all inclusive” and it’s worth it . Staff forgot to switch complementary wine from red to white . We just don’t drink red one and unfortunately they didn’t do it for 3 days we stayed there . For someone it might be a problem that toilet is outside and you can see bugs and etc . For us it was OK.

Room is very comfortable, amazing location and good spa service. Food was good and service impeccable. Mattress is excellent quality, for me this is a big plus! I liked the place and I don't have negative comments. Food might be bit too expensive, but considering the overall experience is aligned with it. My only suggestion is to provide some repellents for mosquitos also for the outdoor part, maybe some citronella candles or some other incense; mosquitos has been my only problems during my stay. I understand in a tropical country is impossible to avoid it but indoor there was a repellent so could be useful provide it also for the outdoor part. This is just a small suggestion since I really appreciate the place and the service.
