A fabulous location and different hotel
Craig, 3-night trip

Stunning hotel, rich history and a great location. Wish the rooms had been updated with furniture that wasn’t so run down.

10/10 Exceptional

Spectacular location and one of the most unique architectural pieces from Geoffrey Bawa. Well worth a visit.
Dinusha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The architecture was superb with the hotel beautifully blending into the nature! I think I had the best night sleep in this hotel as the place was so quiet and pleasant. Also getting to see some monkeys freely wondering around the facility was very refreshing too! The highlight was the infinity pool, which does not seem as impressive in size at a first glance, but once you dip in, you’ll know why this place is special. I loved the pool so much that I could stay there the whole afternoon! It is located fairly closely to the Sigiriya Rock so was pretty accessible after our hike. Would definitely come back again!
Haruka, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I think this hotel is the best quality and hospitality in Srilanka. Pros: Buffet serves lots kind of Srilanka food both breakfast and dinner. Fascility is close to natural environment. Spectaculler lake view from infinity pool. Cons: Due to close to nature, unpredictable wild animals may visit your room such as aggressive monkeys.
makoto, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is hotel is in a gorgeous setting and seems to blend into the surroundings. The room was very comfortable and had a view of the lake and the Sigiriya rock. Using the outdoor pools with that stunning view, with monkeys hanging around, is quite an experience! The restaurant had excellent breakfast and dinner buffets, with a wide range of Western and very good Sri Lankan cuisine. The service provided by the restaurant staff is extraordinary! They recognized my family after our first meal and also seemed to know what we had liked!
Chandraraj K, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

This is NOT 5*, 4 at best. this is what I was expecting with the other reviews, cost etc. it’s a great setting, built into the rock and stunning views to Sigiriya and Kandalama lake. There are 20 broken loungers to share among 100’s of guests. The bar need some ambient lighting and comfy chairs to get some atmosphere. The buffet feels very canteen like, and getting a drink seemed to take half your meal time. Even though there are lots of staff around chatting. The room we had a suite our son on a put up in the lounge area, our bed but nothing other than a bench . Draws don’t shut, the bed and side tables mean you can’t open the safe cupboard. No plug sockets and the ones we found so close to the floor plugs won’t go in. Balcony is not worth it as monkeys are there. Shower overlooking the garden was nice ( after we asked for it to be cleaned so it splayed down which was done immediately) . Mini bar was a joke and filthy. Daily call to check everything was ok but hard to address the whole lot !! Very over rated and not value for money.

Great View, Incredible Foods, and Warm Staff

I stayed in Heritance Kandalama for two days. This was the most wonderful experience that I've ever had! Great view of lake and Lion's Rock, incredible taste and kinds of buffet, warm and polite attitude of staff... all of these things made me really relaxed and energetic. Bawa's design and infinity pool are also great. I really recommend you to stay here!

10/10 Exceptional

森の中にあるとても素晴らしいホテルでした。広い敷地内を散歩したり、猿がベランダに来てくれたり（少し乱暴者）他では味わえない異空間です。夕食と朝食のブッフェは品数も多く、とても美味しく頂きました。 但し、年季が入ってるせいか、洗面台の下が水浸し（大した量ではない）になったが、それを引いても余りある素晴らしいホテルでした🏨強くお勧めします。

Great customer service,
Pablo, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The building’s design is fantastic and the main reason we wanted to stay there. It was built in 1994 and in parts it is starting to show its age. The food selection for dinner and breakfast was good and the taste was fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful. I recommend taking the Bawa Tour to learn about the building. Another tip if you are a coffee drinker is to get an expresso or a coffee directly from the machine. The coffee from the jug from the food server is pretty weak.
David, 2-night trip

バワの建築というだけあって、自然と建築が一体となったデザインが良く、ホテルのどこで写真を撮っても映える素晴らしいホテルでした。また、非常に部屋から見える、湖の眺めがとても良く、朝には猿がベランダに来たりとスリランカの自然を堪能することができました。

一人旅で一泊しました。事前の写真や情報通りで他ではなかなか見れないユニークなホテルで泊まる価値あります。朝食ビュッフェもスリランカ料理中心に種類が多くおいしかったです。 場所がかなり街から隔離されているので移動の足は考えた方がいいかもしれません。（最終的にUberで長距離移動の足を確保できましたが、アプリでの足の確保も少し苦労しました）

バワ建築に宿泊したく利用しました。素敵な部屋で鳥のさえずりと共に起き、気持ちの良い滞在でした。ただ、レセプションの対応はあまり感じの良いものではありませんでした。このホテルでできる提案をいろいろして欲しかったです。他のスタッフさんはとても感じ良くにこやかに過ごせました。
