This hotel is more a guest house. Room is very basic, bed hard. no AC. Shower dribbles. Electricity is from a generator and only runs for a few hours in the evening. In house meal was a basic Sri Lankan meal and OK. Avoid anything more adventurous. Breakfast was good with tea on the verandah. Despite the above the view... More

Whether you are fan of UB40 or not, you already know this review is not going to end well. We booked this place on a Lonely Planet recommendation, presumably based on a visit 30 years earlier. Arriving after dark we did not benefit from the views, which are truely spectacular. Instead we had to contend with a grubby room, damp... More

We booked this room because of review in Lonely Planet, but I can't agree with them... Food was worst on our trip, room was the most expensive for no reason (OK, view is nice, but there are shared bathrooms, no a/c, mattress was dirty, there was some giant generator near rooms that was making terrible noise until midnight and when...

I stayed here for 1 night. The view is amazing and I must say, our room was spotless and a nice hot water in the shower! The food was ok. If you want a beer or arak, bring it by yourself and it's no problem to have your drink at dinner. They don''t serve alcohol. Next time I will stay... More

Having previously stayed in Ambiente a few years ago - it was a shame to see that the place seemed to have declined on all levels. The room we stayed in was somewhat neglected i.e grubby walls and the wardrobe door was hanging off its hinges. The food, which in the past was a real plus, wasn't good either and... More

the view of the place is nice and that is probably the reason that every evening tourists are dropped there by the drivers. it's all poor you get there and the food and hospitality is awful. First advice: don't let you drop there and avoid that place. If it happened you to be dropped there, don't let them spoil your... More

We stayed here for two nights January 2013. The view is spectacular and hard to match in all of srilanka (we travelled all over for 4 weeks). However on both nights the resident and neighbouring dogs kept us awake with incessant howling and barking. I had to get out of bed three or four times a night to scare them... More

Looked nice too bad that the management is completely dishonest! We had reservations for over a month and even confirmed by phone the day before our arrival. Arrived at 6 pm only to be told that we had no reservation and there was no room. Was shown the reservation book in which all reservations were written in PENCIL! If you... More
