Generally it was a really nice stay, the facilities were great and everything was clean. We booked a room without AC (in the pictures it had but the AC-tag in booking.com wasn‘t there) - it was clearly our fault but you should definately be careful about that when you‘re booking a stay. When we arrived the manager asked us wheter we wanted to use the AC and told us, that it could get really warm during nighttime, because we wanted it, it cost an additional 12$ per night. Apart from that in our opinion the stay is rather on the pricier side in Sri Lanka (also compared to Weligama & Ahangama). Last but not least: when we came back from having dinner in the city we would have liked to drink a beer at the hotel but unfortunately nobody was around at 9pm.

The room was nice and clean, also the pool and main areas were really nicely put together. The location was good because it‘s quietly located in the countryside of Ahangama, just 5mins by TukTuk to the beach. Breakfast was also good and the chef & woman who served us was really kind & friendly!

The whole property is so beautiful, set in literally the jungle, the room was lovely and the bathroom was great as well plus a great pool area. And to top of all off the view was incredible. Manesh and all the staff were all really friendly and helpful.

Nothing. Just get it booked.

Where do I begin? First of all, I have to start with the host, Mahesh. This man is truly wonderful. He greets you with a smile and a warmth I’ve rarely experienced with an accommodation manager. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation itself is brilliant. Gorgeous room with a comfortable bed and outdoor shower. Clean and comfortable with a great view into the jungle. Mahesh has two girls who run the kitchen and they serve a delicious breakfast with a smile. The location is a short scooter or tuk tuk ride into town and if you want you have a lovely pool to relax at. Mahesh is one of a kind. Always on hand to give advice on the surrounding area, places of interest etc. He even gave us gifts before we left and has a cheeky smile that lights up the place. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Not a proper bar set up yet but this was due to delays with Sri Lanka government approving their license, will be sorted soon o imagine however. Being cash only was a bit inconvenient as it meant we had to keep hitting ATMs. Seems like paying for the stay online before the stay would easily solve this.

Beautifully built property, in a quiet and tranquil location. The food made by the on call chef is absolutely amazing. Lovely relaxing, quiet, atmosphere. Rooms are well equipped and very clean. The outdoor bathroom and shower are very very cool!

This review is hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

The location is a bit remote and a little far from the beach if you want to walk, but with a driver, it was no issue at all—only about 10 minutes away. It’s a really calm and peaceful area.

Nice place with a warm welcome. We checked out late, and the staff made us a wrap even though the kitchen was closed because we were hungry, which we really appreciated. The outdoor bathroom and pool were lovely, and the breakfast was very tasty. Do not hesitate to book a room here—you won’t regret it! We wish we could have stayed longer!

I hope once the place settles a bit, they can bring in more flexibility around food. We had to plan and order food in advance else they couldn't provide us anything which was a bit challenging since we had to find local restaurants. I'm sure it's temporary till the place grows.

There's so much to love about this place! The location is super convenient - not too far away from beaches but far enough to not be noisy and crowded. Mr Mahesh arranged a scooter for us which made travel really easy. The property is gorgeous - rooms are spacious, bathroom has wonderful hot water and they provide luxurious toiletries. The swimming pool is beautiful and so fun. Watching sunsets from the balcony is quite a treat. The food provider by the restaurant is yummy - specially loved the Srilankan rice and curry meal.

The booking.com description is not clear as air conditioning is stated as a facility, however only the 2 more expensive rooms have A/C. Though the rooms are otherwise identical, a hefty 25 USD "electricity" charge for an A/C upgrade was asked.

Beautifully designed rooms in a super quiet location with a fun pool and nicely made up property. Delicious breakfast served from a friendly Sri Lankan cook, however small portion sizes.

Beautiful property. Excellent food (breakfast, snack and dinner). Spotless rooms. Amazing bathroom. And the atmosphere were so relaxing - we regret not staying more than 2 nights. Just a short tuk tuk ride to town with nice beach restaurants and bars.

We loved everything!

This is a truly idyllic place to stay. The attention to detail in everything is exceptional. If you are looking for somewhere luxurious to relax & unwind, look no further! The rooms are airy & spacious, and sitting on the terrace watching the birds & listening to wildlife is just perfect, from first thing in the morning to the sun setting in the evening. The pool area is immaculate & it was lovely to spend relaxing by the poolside or dipping in the water. We loved the big, private outdoor shower & the many unexpected added touches like the aromatic shower gel & shampoos- everything feels like a special treat! Petra & Mahesh, and all the staff, are extremely accommodating, friendly & happy to help with anything you might need. The food is absolutely delicious too- don’t miss the Chefs Curry or homemade ice creams! And if you like walking, there are loops you can take walking on the roads around the village & nearby local tea plantation. The beach & town are 5 mins in a Tuk tuk so very easy to access for restaurants & shops.

The perfect place to stay for a bit of quiet indulgence. We stayed after a busy few days walking in Ella and Ebony was ideal for a relaxed couple of days. Hosts and staff were wonderful Sitting around the pool was quiet and chilled Food was amazing Outside shower was wonderful and was used regularly. Great few days

Photos do not do this stunning property and location justice which is spotlessly clean. The owners are the sweetest couple and with their staff work very hard and take so much pride in this recently built hotel. Sat on the edge of the jungle you can spot all kinds of wild life and beautiful birds. Whilst it is the perfect place to rest and relax the area also offers things to see and do. It is lovely to take a walk around the nearby village and a few minutes drive away is a lovely tea plantation. Food is excellent and varied and the tuna steak is a must. If you are thinking of booking here do not hesitate. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer and highly recommend you to stay. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Petra & Mahesh for making us so welcome. This really was one of our most favourite places to stay and we would love to return one day.

Would be nice to have mirror inside too the room, not only outdoor bathroom. 😊

We loved spend couple days this villa. Everything was fresh and clean. Yard was beautiful with calming pool. Owners and stuff was very helpfull and chatty. We really recommend this place if you want small quiet place to relax. They have also massage in the room if you want.

Staff; from chef, host, manager to gardeners were all extremely kind, helpful and “can do”. if anything - making you feel very much at home. The surroundings were beautiful and the places finish was top tier! Thanks guys

Nothing at all

We stayed 4 days at Ebony and felt very welcome by Petra and Mahesh. The daily breakfast was fresh, and you could choose every day. The location is more inland, but nestled between rice paddies and more quiet, nature noises of peacocks, monkeys, and other birds. It truly felt like paradise. Because we wanted a bit more freedom, we asked Mahesh to get us a scooter, which was no problem at all. That way we were at several restaurants of Anhangama in 5 mins. They do offer to cook for you if you want to enjoy this paradise a bit more, and do not want to leave the premises. We are definitely coming back!

New hotel in the middle of the jungle. The best property in the area. Super clean! Minimalistic interiors, friendly stuff. Amazing restaurant, had the best tuna steak :D

The room is very elegantly furnished and the pool surrounded by nature mesmerizingly beautiful. The staff is super friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay very much. To top it off the delicious breakfast left nothing to be desired. Highly recommended.

I have internet issues wherever i go in this country, and for the first 2 days it would not work here. Mahesh solved the problem but then my last 2 days it stopped working again for no obvious reason. Irs not a big issue as ants come as part of the life here, but they were coming into the veranda on on the wall of the room (away from me). Mahesh said they regularly do pest control.

this is a new build (having been completed only a few months before i arrived) and is beautifully designed. Coming from a design background i could appreciate the landscaped garden and having placed the rooms on the top of the hill you get the natural breeze making the rooms very cool, light and airy. The outdoor shower was amazing, and really hot! (Normally its lukewarm or non existent). The large bed was very comfortable and the incense sticks provided were a bonus in the evenings to ward off the bugs. The fridge and kettle were much appreciated. The pool was just amazing, i swam laps or just floated while watching the resident birds, peacocks and little squirrels. Breakfast has a whole menu, from continental, local, pancakes to smoothie bowls. You can choose what you want ahead of time and any dietary needs are met. The lunch and dinner menus are equally varied and the chef does a beautiful job. Mahesh the manager is always on site, or easily reachable via whatsapp, and they also have a van to do trips and airport runs in. Being easily reachable was very much appreciated when one night before going to bed a very large spider had gotten into the room somehow, and being terrified of them mahesh graciously came and chased it out of the room at such a late hour (sorry mahesh 😅) I came to this hotel after some personal problems and needed to just pause, this was the perfect place to relax and do just that. It was a short 5-7 minutes tuk into town and i would definitely stay here again when in ahangama.
