We spent 1 week doing an Ayurveda treatment at Centauria lake resort. We were welcomed warmly and all the staff was very considerate, friendly and helpful. The room was nice with a balcony overseeing the the beautiful lake. The food was excellent. We got a diet according to Ayurveda principles comprising authentic Sri Lankan food. The treatments were excellent and... More

I agree with the comments that this hotel is OK for overnight stay but I would not want to stay here for a longer period. The rooms are quaint and quite big but very out of date and could do with a complete modernisation. The bathroom was huge with wet-room type shower but again very old and tatty. Because the... More

I can only gather from some of the other reviews that we were very lucky here. We did choose a superior room and thus got a large and clean room with a balcony and views over the lake. Limited choice at dinner but the food was well cooked and service was willing if slow. My wife had her best night's... More

Don't get me wrong - I wasn't expecting anything amazing. But even with low expectations I was very very disappointed. the room was FILTHY. dead flies and bugs all down the side of the bed. cockroaches, lizards and misc insects in the room. a dark red stain on the bed (probably blood). the shower looked like it was from an...

Only stayed here one night en route to safari. Very quaint and cheerful - The staff are really friendly and helpful. The rooms are huge, albeit very outdated, the only downside is they smell really badly of damp. Bathroom very outdated but again huge - shower huge. Lovely balcony with soft seating. Stayed on a full board basis, and dinner... More

I stayed here as it was the closest place to the Uda Walawe National Park (however, I did note that a new larger hotel has recently opened nearby - Safari Hotel?). I found the hotel facilities to be extremely out of date, furniture, towels and bedding tatty and the room unpleasant. My bath had hairs in it, and everything in... More

I will focus on my bad experience than give a full review, as I agree with much that has been said by others. On arrival, wet and filthy after a long cycle ride in the rain, it was clear that the front desk staff spoke little or no English. Now I would not have a problem with this if this... More

Only stopped one night as part of tour so don't know individual price, value for money. But located on nearby lake whith great views as the birds flock in at sunset. Rooms excellent, even had a bath (though tv basic, though they plan to upgrade), Restaurant very good, recommend the fish and chips!

A large room, with a balcony overlooking the river through the trees, heavy traditional furniture, OK bathroom. All clean and presentable. A bit dark and gloomy for my taste, but perfectly acceptable.
