Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Arrived as part of a tour group with Mercury holidays. We had a lovely room but no patio or balcony, we only stopped one night so didn’t matter too much. The pool area looked nice but didn’t have time to use it. There is a large bar area and the buffet dinner and breakfast was all good.

We stayed in this hotel with a tour group. The room of at least 4 couples was entered and (large amounts of) money was stolen. Money was taken from the wallet so that you did not notice at first glance, for example, 2 of 5 LKR 5,000 notes were stolen. In the same manner euro notes were taken. It turns out that the balcony doors cannot be locked. The precision with which this large-scale robbery took place makes it appear as if it was organized and not by a single individual. Unfortunately, the group only found out after we had left the hotel. We have received no response from the hotel, let alone an apology for the large-scale theft.

We spent just one night in this hotel during our holiday. It was wonderful. The services, accommodations, restaurant, location just near the lake… all was there for a great moment. Maybe one negative aspect: the poor Sri-Lankan buffet compare to the asiatic or European.

I stayed two nights here on H/B Basis and it was a pleasant stay. I was given a Deluxe Room which was very spacious and had all the amenities including a huge sofa minibar, TV and a Bathtub. I had four meals and all of that was scrumptious and huge potions. Staff was very attentive. Best thing about this hotel is the picturesque scenery. Hotel is located facing Chandrika Lake in Embilipitya. One could see the whole lake and the brids island when you are in a Lake View Room. I will definitely return.

My wife and myself stayed at your hotel as we had to attend a wedding the next day. We had lunch and dinner. Which was quite good and the service was very good. As we booked room only due to the wedding we requested the Front Office to change our bookings to HB. Which was totally denied. Rooms 301 & 305 on the 26th. I suggest that the hotel be a bit more flexible in handling these matters especially during these trouble times. Otherwise the Front desk staff was friendly and full of smiles.
