To be honest, it is hard to say that the room condition or service quality is equal or better than 5-star hotels. So if you expect perfection as a hotel, you may be slightly disappointed. The room condition is a bit old. However, the experience of staying here cannot be evaluated simply by the quality of the accommodation. It is the best. Here, you can feel the philosophy of Bawa that you should be immersed in nature. If you understand Bawa, such as the depth of experience, the meaning of space, and nature and architecture, Heritance Kandalama is a place that has more value than that. The best hotel

Extraordinary friendly, helpful und curteous owner and staff, they are there all the time to help and fulfill every wish. The breakfast and dinner in the restaurant is very tasty and priceworth. The rooms are very big and comfortable with a Watercooker and towels. The pool is very clean and the garden is simply gorgeous - the new owner has planted many new plants since the pictures were made. We felt like living directly in the nature, could watch animals in the trees. Situated in footdistance very near to Sigirya Rock, with some good restaurants and shops, and an ATM around. Shuttles from the airport, to polonaruwa and afterwards to Nilaveli were arranged for us. The drivers were not just drivers but showed us interesting places and animals on the way and stopped so we could take picutres of elephants passing the road. Thank you so much for the pleasant stay and warm welcoming in your country!

Royal Rock is a fantastic place for a relaxing getaway. The excellent location offers a calm and peaceful environment perfect for unwinding. The food is absolutely delicious, and the staff provided outstanding service, attending to our needs with great care and attention to detail. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free stay!

We really enjoyed our stay, beautiful location and very friendly staff. Also, our driver Sanat the hotel arranged for us was very helpful and kind. He took us all the way to the South Coast after the cyclone had hit Sri Lanka.

We had a really lovely, short stay. There’s a great, large pool and great breakfast and dinner menu. Real highlight is the staff led by Bernard but the cook and all the staff were very friendly, talkative and helpful! The cook even prepared extra Sri Lanka specialities for us.

The rooms, the service and the friendly staff also the pool

The hosts are really really amazing, didn't feel like a hotel more like a home of a relatives, very warm and welcoming. The units are new, very well furnished and beautifully set.

The staff, location and rooms are great! Lovely stay.

Good location. For chill and relax the perfect place. The room (house) exceeded our expectations. Everything clean, hot water, confortable bed. The swimming pool sorrounding by nature, pool bar, tasty cocktails, was great. Good food for dinner and breakfast. The staff was very kind and helpfull with information.

The hotel is right in the middle of the nature and very quiet. It was a delight getting up every morning with the sound of monkeys, birds and cows. The staff is lovely, very welcoming and always available to answer to all our requests and answers (including transportation, safari and other experiences). The food is great, especially the local one. We really loved staying at The Cottage Sigiriya, it was a great starting point for our trip in Sri Lanka.

Very clean and nice room, beautiful pool, very helpful and friendly staff.

Very good service from the 3 boys working there. We were pleased with breakfast, the bedroom and the location. We asked for dinner last minute and they were nice to make a tasty dinner for us. Thank you once more and we hope to come again with our family and kids.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay. Sala, Chanka, and Dilshan's smiles and warmth truly added to our experience. They arranged a tuk-tuk excursion for sunrise at Pidurangala, a private driver for our visit to Polonnaruwa which included a packed breakfast and an unforgettable safari. We highly recommend booking a tuk-tuk with Sanka, who drove us not only to Pidurangala but also to Dambulla and several additional hidden gems along the way. He's the best animal spotter. Supun ensured a smooth and safe journey to and from Polonnaruwa, while Rajitha proved to be an outstanding safari guide with a remarkable eye for spotting elephants. All of these experiences can be arranged through the accommodation. We already miss the chilled vibe at La Dolce, the peaceful setting provides the perfect retreat to unwind after a day of exploring. Its location is ideal, offering easy access to Lions Rock and restaurants.

Nice resort well located with a great pool gym and super cool rooms.

The hotel room was nice and tidy. Great service from the personal, especially the hotel owner John. The swimming pool area is really nice! Good breakfast as well.

This could be the nicest place we stayed in Sri Lanka and very good value. The road up to it makes you wonder but when you get there it is fantastic. The room was immaculate, breakfast was beautiful and the staff and pool were unreal.
