Incredible attentive service from the staff, going above and beyond. Stunning views and pool. Delicious well priced food!

I had a wonderful experience at Grand Silverray. The property is beautifully maintained, clean, and very comfortable. The rooms are spacious and well-designed, offering everything needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with a smile, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the overall service is truly impressive. I highly recommend Grand Silverray to anyone looking for a pleasant, comfortable, and memorable stay. Definitely looking forward to visiting again!

The view of the waterfall, tea plantation and mountains.

The people running this retreat were so lovely and so helpful. The pool is exceptional. The pools in many, places we stayed we diisappointing as they were smaller than they liked in the photo. This pool was the reverse, it's large and gorgeous, you can actually swim lengths

The view is exceptional. The food is flavourful and the service is great. Bedding is high quality and very comfortable. Their Sri Lankan Breakfast is a must-have.

A Modern European standard a hotel. Without Sampa I don’t think my experience would be as good. He really knows all the spots & can make you smile regardless :)

I arrived at the Diora Hotel by chance and found it to be a very good place to stay in Ratnapura. The hotel is new, clean, and well maintained, with a simple, tasteful interior and a calm atmosphere. It meets a solid Western standard at a fair price. The location is central, yet on a quiet side street. It felt safe and undisturbed, both day and night. The hotel suits travelers, gemstone buyers, business guests, and anyone who values cleanliness, comfort, and a well-run, straightforward setup. A small but fitting detail is that the rooms are named after locally found gemstones – a nice touch for Ratnapura. I came to the city spontaneously to visit gemstone mines and only had half a day. I wanted to avoid the usual tourist tuk-tuk routine with staged mines and a jewelry stop at the end, and I mentioned this to the manager on arrival. What followed was unexpectedly personal. The hotel manager not only arranged a tuk-tuk at a local price, but also contacted a working mine directly and accompanied me there himself, helping with translation and explanations. With his background as a former gemstone cutter, this added real depth. I was able to visit an active artisanal mine with three shafts, about 20 meters deep – practical, local, and not set up for visitors. Even though I have visited mines in other countries, I learned a great deal here about mining. The miners were open and welcoming, allowed me to move freely, and were happy for me to photograph and film. I’m sincerely grateful to them, and especially to the hotel manager, for the time he took to make this possible on short notice – simply out of kindness. I was also invited to visit his relatives nearby and was able to take photos from their rooftop overlooking the mine and the surrounding rice fields. Early the next morning, I visited one of Ratnapura’s three gemstone markets, the one focused on rough stones. I was quickly approached by traders showing me everything from sapphires to alexandrites.

Beautiful hotel with modern clean rooms and an immaculate swimming pool surrounded by jungle scenery. Most importantly, the staff did whatever was needed to make our stay enjoyable. The English Breakfast was wonderful, with lots of fruit and fresh juice. One day we had an early trip with a local guide Sampa Wayo and the breakfast was prepared for us in takeaway containers. Another day we fancied red wine and the staff purchased and delivered one for us immediately. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at OwinRich during my trip to Godakawela, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. Located just 2 km away from the bustling city center, OwinRich offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. The moment I arrived, I was greeted by the sight of a beautiful outdoor pool, inviting me to unwind and relax. The rooms were spacious and exceptionally comfortable, providing the ideal retreat after a long day of exploration. But what truly stood out was the attention to detail and the incredible value for money. The price I paid was an absolute steal considering the quality of service and amenities offered. One of the highlights of my stay was witnessing the sheer joy on my kids' faces as they splashed around in the pool and explored the hotel grounds. The family-friendly atmosphere of OwinRich made our vacation truly memorable. Moreover, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. They even arranged a safari to Udawalawe National Park for us at the best price possible, allowing us to marvel at Sri Lanka's incredible wildlife. Overall, I can't recommend OwinRich highly enough. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or solo, this hotel offers everything you could possibly need for a perfect getaway. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
