Some of the room amenities, curtains, walls etc were discoloured and old. Wine list was limited.

Staff were simply superb, from the minute we arrived, we were looked after incredibly. The food was exceptional, varied and wide ranging.

The only thing I was disappointed with is that there were no individual sun loungers, despite recent Instagram photos showing them. There were double sun beds which were comfortable but covered so not always easy to get some sun!

The property itself is beautiful and the rooms are stunning with their private pools and incredible views. The staff were amazing, couldn’t do enough for us. Food and cocktails were absolutely delicious, the menu was huge, portion sizes just right. Garden tour was really interesting and bike ride was a nice little extra.

Our stay at Malabar Hill was truly a 5 star experience and our best stay in Sri Lanka. From the attention to details, to the villas, food and staff, everything was perfect. Can only recommend. A big thank you to the amazing staff that did everything they could to accommodate us!

The floor in the room is polished to the point that it becomes slippery. Towel rugs that are placed near the toilet area caused us to slip . No big deal- we just moved them away . One other minor thing- we ordered beef burgers at the pool. Unlike all other dishes that we ate there throughout our stay, it was really bad. But- it's nothing in light of all the other perfect experiences this place offers its guests .

If there is any branch of heaven on Earth, it is in the magnificent Malabar Hill. PERFECTION !!! Villas are amazingly decorated. The furniture around the property- to die for !!! Staff is the most welcoming ever - willing to assist at all times. The pool area- the most breathtaking pool I have ever seen and been to . And all this magic is in the beautiful jungle of Welligama area.

Can't think of anything

Everything about the resort was remarkable. The location is on top of a hill with an amazing sea view, private pool, and chillout pillows in the villa with privacy and jungle all around us. The design and interior made me feel like the team put a lot of time and effort to make a perfect set up for a luxurious moment. I would have loved to stay longer then two nights, maybe forever. The staff were so kind and helpful, I can't think of anything less then perfection. My favorite stay in Sri lanka by far.

The pool area is stunning but could do with some sun loungers with back rests.

The entire property is designed beautifully with great attention to detail. The villas are well spaced apart for privacy with amazing views and cleaned daily. Excellent breakfast and dinner with a great menu. The staff were so friendly and attentive and provided excellent service all round.

Nice view, scenery, pool, restaurant. Loved the Sri Lankan food selection at the restaurant. I recommend the Bloody Mary.

This is a really special hotel. The setting is fantastic - peaceful and set apart, with fabulous views from all sides of the property across 'valleys' and to the sea. The staff are wonderful and so warm and friendly. They create a really relaxing environment where nothing is too much! The managers were extremely gracious and always took the time to talk to the guests and check in on everything. Rooms are large and beautifully laid out so you can be comfy inside and outside on the terrace - either way enjoying the views and your private pool night and day.

Wonderful stay at Malabar Hill where we even extended one extra night. The entire staff (restaurant, front desk, housekeeping etc) was exceptional and made the service feel more personalized than we had ever experienced in other similar type of hotel. Thank you all for a wonderful stay

The moment I stepped into Malabar Hill Hotel, I felt an overwhelming sense of serenity. Nestled amidst nature, it’s the perfect place for those seeking a calming retreat from the hustle and bustle. The spacious rooms exude warmth, and each is spotlessly clean, offering cozy comforts that make you feel right at home. But what took my breath away was the balcony view. Imagine waking up to the chirping of birds, an expansive forest that stretches as far as the eye can see, with the azure sky above and a tantalizing glimpse of the ocean in the distance. And the pool? Simply a dreamy oasis. At their restaurant, each dish is a culinary masterpiece, with flavors so authentic, you can taste the richness of every spice. A little tip: if you prefer milder flavors, do request them to tone down the spices. My stay was made even more memorable by the trips we took. The Galla Fort exudes historical charm, the tea trip was an enlightening journey into the world of tea-making, and the Kollaghan Lake was a visual feast with its picturesque islands, lively birds, playful monkeys, and yes, we even spotted a crocodile! Can't wait to come back to this slice of paradise. Highly recommended for those in search of genuine experiences and unparalleled views! Love, Ali and Rawan

Nothing really. However, it would be great if they add a separate spa area.

Lovely place with great hospitality. We felt special during our stay which is really nice when travelling for a holiday. The food is so good and the room service is free of charge as well. The staff are very very friendly and always there to help. Thank you for everything.
