A great location close to the airport.

Everything is great , a beautiful oasis very close to the main road but you just know it but can’t feel it, being in this charming colonial style hotel you are in a magical garden 💚🙏

TV was very old, and I could not cast my phone to it. The bed mattress wasn't that comfortable. The garden view was basically some gravel and a bit of bamboo.

Spacious room, bathroom, and a great restaurant. Staff were really helpful, could not fault them.

Every single detail was perfect. It is a magical, quiet oasis in the jungle. Might be one of the most wonderful hotels I have ever visited.

It wasn't as quiet as we were expecting. Maybe we were just unlucky. On our first night (a Saturday), there was very loud music from somewhere nearby until 1.43am. We weren't sure whether it was a wedding venue nearby or some kind of party. It was actually very annoying and prevented us from sleeping, which we were desperate to do after a long flight from the UK. When we spoke to staff the following day, they seemed unaware and said there are some houses nearby and maybe the music came from one of those houses. So we never found out the origin. Then, the next night, an alarm in the hotel went off in the dead of night (not sure what time) so we got woken. So, not as quiet and peaceful as we were hoping.

Great location close to the airport. So it seems most people stay here for only 1-2 nights either at the start or end of their holiday (we stayed here at the start and end). The food is excellent (although expensive for Sri Lanka) and the breakfast is superb. There is a lovely pool in a jungle setting. We played croquet and cricket in their garden which was a lot of fun before dinner. The staff arranged for our daughter (age 9) to make a paper lantern with the assistance of two members of staff, which was a lovely touch and means she now has a meaningful souvenir.

The only thing we didn’t like was that we didn’t book another night.

We loved absolutely everything about this hotel! The facilities, the amenities, the pool, the food, the staff. It was just exceptional!

Nothing to dislike!

Wonderful peaceful colonial feel. Beautiful grounds, an oasis of calm. Huge room (we had the Mountbatten Suite), property felt almost empty even when it was actually at full capacity.

The arranged shuttle to the airport was way too pricey. I would recommend to organise one yourself, it is much cheaper then.

We spent our last day and night at Wallawwa. It was an overall luxury and perfect to unwind after our travels. They have complimentary tea time and a happy hour, the pool area is gorgeous, everyone was helpful and kind. I wished we stayed for another night, it was a peaceful bliss!

The location of the hotel is far from virtually anything. You will need to take a tuktuk or a taxi,to get to most places. No gym available (but okay it's a transit hotel for people going to the airport so it's understandable) although for the price we were paying it could have been expected to be there. The price for the room (around 370 dollars per night) with breakfast included seemed on the high side since the hotel is beautiful but small with no further activities in the area. Not much plugs available in the room and no converters available by default.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. Quality of the food was on a high standard. Children's menu was available. The beds were comfortable. The gardens and the scenery was amazing. The beds are of.high quality with a mosquito net. The baby cot was actually great. Local fruits and vegetables. It feels like you are home.

There is nothing not to like

Beautiful hotel, amazing staff - an absolute pleasure from beginning to end Staff were fantastic from the second I booked with their communication right until I left. Had issues with my luggage being lost by the airline & the 2 managers and reception staff chased them constantly for me until I got my luggage literally minutes before I left for my next hotel (I only stayed here 1 night). I highly recommend this as an airport hotel as it is only 15 minutes from Colombo airport & a great first or last night option. Its so gorgeous & green & peaceful & the hotel organised a cute boat trip for my 1 day there. I will come back anytime I come to Sri Lanka for sure. Thank you 🙏🏾

Nothing it was amazing.

It’s a gorgeous property. So much more than an airport hotel with brilliant food and service. The spa was incredible. We were leaving at 1am for our flighty and nothing was too much trouble! We will be back.

High quality boutique hotel that delights from your turning off the main road to leaving after a super breakfast. Close to the airport so perfect for a stop at the beginning or end of your trip to Sri Lanka.

Nothing! It's perfect

Exceptional service, location and vibe. To be able to feel completely relaxed on day 1 of a vacation is a joy.

A little pricey

Size of room, food!

Watch out for the hidden tax and service charge added to the restaurant bill….Tiny print at the bottom of the menu! It’s a lot cheaper to arrange your own taxi to the airport than pay 40US$ they charge.

A really lovely place to stay near the airport either at the beginning or end of your trip. Excellent breakfast.

The bed comfort and high quality bed linen were perfect for sleep after our long flight…the staff looked after us wonderfully well and my visit to the spa was first class.
