Everything in our stay was perfect. The location of Kandalama lodge is great if you want to visit the Dambulla Cave Temple, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigirya and Pidurangala. The lodge is cleverly designed, and well maintained. The garden is a quiet oasis, peaceful and beautiful. We stayed in both the deluxe villa with the private pool and the “regular” rooms. We enjoyed both. The staff made our stay even better. I’ve never seen a manager, cook and helpers so attentive in my life. I rarely rate a stay a 10/10 but they deserve it.

This place is absolutely amazing! The host Nuwan and his family are so nice and friendly, they make you feel at home from the first moment. Nuwan not only helped us organize our activities in the area by sharing with us the most beautiful places to see around, taking in to consideration what we were also interested in, but also drove us around to amazing local places in his tuk tuk. He took us to the village temple which has spectacular views of the area and a secret spot to view the birds just after sunset and they are both really recommended! His wife and 2 kids are also very polite and cute and always ready to help have the best experience. Thanks for offering this great experience and we hope to see you again some day!

Absolutely Fabulous Stay! Liked · This was definitely the best property I could have chosen in my whole trip across Sri Lanka. Not only is this walking distance from the Rock Temple, but is also very close from the main highway, so easy to find. The hospitality is out of this world. Things to highlight: 1. The host proactively reached out for my arrival time and even though it was very late, he stayed up and ensured we had everything comfortably (inc. an extra blanket) before he left. He also helped us with the luggage as the rooms were on the 1st floor. 2. The hospitality is out of this world, the host's wife comes in the morning with freshly prepared breakfast and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD - all possible Sri Lankan dishes including Hoppers, curry, Sambol. 3. The view from the sitting area is superb!!! Trees all around 4. Comfortable and spacious rooms, with all types of basic things available like hair dryer, scissors, etc. 5. Air conditioner and hot water both are available 6. Clean washrooms and comfy beds 7. Private parking inside the property Absolutely loved this property- recommend everyone to stay here!!!!

    The location of the farm was excellent, you will find yourself in places you would not come otherwise. Pradeep's place is very well maintained, we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and they were quite basic but that's what we wanted. If you are up for more luxury there are four new rooms which are all very modern and super clean! The farm is great and staff super friendly and helpful. It was a great way to get a peek in actual sri lankan culture. Would definitely recommend going here!

    Very clean and comfortable, the staff were smiley and friendly, willing to help where able. The location is ideal for access to the busy centre but far enough away that you don't have the noise that goes with it. The beautiful views made the already enjoyable and filling breakfast, even better. AC and fan worked well!
