Located in Dambulla in the Matale District region, with Popham's Arboretum nearby, Kandalama Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking, as well as access to an indoor swimming pool. It was the most wonderful place, a very special place, very calm, it felt very personal and exclusive The rooms were much more than just a room, having your own front door straight into the garden and pool area, they were incredibly clean and the bathroom is such a treat, it really connects you to the nature all around, absolutely fantastic and super clean also, great shower, very comfy large bed. The staff are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble and the food is fabulous, as in the rest of Sri Lanka and indeed anywhere, the local Sri lankan dishes were definitely the best and I would suggest people choose these, taste and presentation was superb. We would definitely love to come back

Set 6.7 km from Bogambara Stadium, The Traveller Kandy offers accommodation with a garden, a terrace and room service for your convenience. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. I fell in love with this place! The spacious room and common areas are very clean. The balcony offers a breathtaking view. There’s a small kitchenette where you can boil water, use the dishes, and store food in the fridge. Within walking distance, you’ll find a vegetable shop and stores with all the essentials. Simple yet delicious Sri Lankan food is available nearby. The room doesn’t feel hot, so there’s no need for air conditioning. I didn’t even use the fan. It’s a perfect place to relax and recharge after exploring the mountains and local sights. Getting to the center of Kandy is easy: take a tuk-tuk or hop on a local bus, which runs frequently. The host is an incredibly kind, hospitable, and responsive person, always ready to assist with anything you need. You can tell he truly loves what he does. He also has a wonderful dog, which makes the place feel even more welcoming. A pleasant surprise for me was that they sort waste here, which is rare to see. For just $13 a night, you won’t find a better place to stay in Kandy!

Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at the lodge. An Absolute Gem in Polonnaruwa – A Slice of Paradise! Our stay at Wisecapes Polonnaruwa was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled amidst a vast expanse of lush greenery, this serene retreat offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and warm hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms by Kumara, the manager, whose professionalism and kindness set the tone for our unforgettable experience. His impeccable English and deep knowledge of hospitality truly elevated our stay. The Property & Location The location is simply breathtaking—a huge area surrounded by nature, making it the ideal getaway for those looking to unwind and immerse themselves in tranquility. Despite its peaceful seclusion, it’s just a stone’s throw away from the famous Polonnaruwa ruins, allowing us to explore the rich history of the area and return to a relaxing oasis. The swimming pool was another highlight—crystal-clear, well-maintained, and not too deep, making it perfect for both beginners and those just looking to relax. We spent hours simply floating, soaking in the serene atmosphere, and enjoying the natural beauty surrounding us. Accommodation & Comfort Our room was spotless, with a perfectly functioning air conditioner that kept us cool in the tropical heat. The bathroom was pristine, with clean, well-maintained toilets and showers—a true testament to the attention to detail and high standards maintained by the team. It’s clear that the staff here take great pride in ensuring every corner of the property remains immaculate. An Unforgettable Breakfast Experience One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast included in our booking. Guests have the choice of a European or Sri Lankan breakfast, and as a German-Sri Lankan couple, we opted for the authentic Sri Lankan spread—a decision we’ll never regret!
