It was the first day of our tour around Sri Lanka. We have come a long way from Induruwa to Tissamakarama. Distance is not really a long, but considering the narrow winding roads of Sri Lanka, we drove five hours. We liked the hotel at first sight. We had no more than an hour for lunch before our safari in... More

Stayed here as part of our 3 day trip around Sri Lanka. This hotel is set in a quiet area up a dirt track and our first thoughts were, wow, peace and tranquillity.....all we could here was the sounds of the wildlife, frogs, birds etc. The room was clean (no evidence of rats thank goodness!!) with a large bathroom, aircon...

Set off the beat and track near the safari area, this hotel was in a more secluded, natural setting. The small ponds were a breeding ground for mosquitoes and the rooms had no mosquito netting for the beds. Repellent plug ins were available but only if you thought to ask. The rooms were large but needed to be if you... More

We stayed here whilst doing a safari in Yala. Very reasonable and worth the money (85 USD for half board). Meals and drinks were expensive when compared to room cost but the feel of the place and room was worth it. Highly recommended and worth a stay as this could be an exception hotel if staff training is given. Evening... More

We stayed there for one night, following our safari trip to Yala National Park. This is a well located, pleasant hotel. The rooms clean and newly equipped, have an AC and no TV. Outside the room you have very beautiful garden, swimming pool with beech chairs around it. The stuff is friendly, polite and helpful. The restaurant is pretty good... More

We stayed one night while visiting Yala National Park. We did a one week tour of Sri Lanka and hired a driver for the duration. The hotel arrangements were coordinated with the driver service so we did not select the actual hotel. We just indicated that we wanted medium level accommodations as compared to " grade A" guest house or... More

After a 24 hour journey from the UK, we arrived at the Hibiscus Garden Hotel and it was just what we needed - comfortable, relaxing, friendly and stunning scenery. The gardens are splendid. The rooms are chalet- like - very comfortable and spacious and cool - very important when the outside temperature is a sweltering 35 degrees! The pool at... More

This was the best hotel during our trip. We wish we could have stayed longer! The rooms are of 4 star quality! Everything in and around the hotel is beautiful. We have seen many amazing birds and even à big red snake! From the dining room you have good views if the rice fields and the ponds around the complex.... More
