Myself and a friend stayed here for just one night. The room was comfortable and the location superb, with even the standard room looking out over the lake. The outdoor pool looks right over the lake. All of this for the equivalent of about US$45 (between two). The best bit about The Lake has to be the staff. Though we... More

We spent 3 nights here as the location, right on the lake, is superb. Rooms on ground floor have verandas leading to lake. Lots of people fishing from canoes, water buffalo in the lake and huge range of birds. Great sunsets. Rooms very comfortable. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Excellent Sri Lankan food. Lovely swimming pool. Excellent value if you... More

Very tasty food, with excellent presentation, in comfortable and nicely decorated dinning room, with superb view over lake. We had a mixture of Sri Lankan and more European dishes and all were very good. This was a good choice for a break in a full day of visiting the archeological site, and at a reasonable price. (PS we also checked... More

Just stayed at The Lake for four nights with a group of students. The hotel was peaceful and quiet with a pool and billard table. The food was outstanding and the service excellent. The rooms were dark but large with a nice view of the lake.

A smaller set of ruins was directly across the road from the resort. All rooms faced the lake and had a luxurious feel to them. The lower ones had their own small... More

To be fair, the Lake Hotel has quite nice [although small] rooms and a lovely location. Were it not for unforgivable service problems, we would have given it 3 or 4 stars. We originally booked a double room with breakfast but upon check-in requested that they add an extra bed for a third person that had joined us. We were... More

We arrived to the lake with a special offer including a full board regime. Everything was perfect with very neice meals and super service. During the night there was a short circuit and we had to move to the first floor, but all the personnel was helpful. A good place to start bike excursion, too. Swimming pool available!

After roughing it in some pretty grim hotels prior to entering The Lake and a 40km cycle ride in the pouring rain it was a real delight to stumble in to reception and to find simple luxuries we take for granted - a well apointed shower with hot water, clean crisp sheets, lovely fresh smelling room with superb view over...
