This is a boutique hotel with private villas which target foreigners, however the hospitality is not less for Sri Lankans. We booked the room with plunge pool. The place is very relaxing. Rooms are very clean and the team there is very supportive and attentive and goes to an extra mile to ensure a comfort stay. We had a good time here. Food is amazing and everything else was perfect.More

Already the road leading to this beautiful boutique hotel is great. Upon arrival the friendly staff is giving us a warm welcome. Our villa was just amazing, every little detail was right. Beautiful colors, the best bed I slept in for a long time and loved the couples shower. The food was wonderful and the whole vibe around the place was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this beautiful place…. If you want something really special, go for one of the villa’s with private pool

Such an amazing experience in the middle of the forest, the interior of the room was unique, we had everything we wanted to make our stay comfortable and fun. The food and service were amazing. The staff was very friendly and welcoming specially aruna he was very helpful.
We stayed here after going to Yala knowing we would go to Galle to explore the Galle Fort afterward. The property was very quiet due to Covid, so we were the only guests at the time and couldn't leave the property. But we were able to keep ourselves busy as the property arranged for us to have massages and private yoga sessions daily - which was wonderful! The jungle provided plenty of entertainment with the noises of the peacocks, other birds, monkeys, and even cows!? We stayed in the KADJU room and enjoyed the private inifinty plunge pool that overlooked the jungle and tea estate where locals worked to pick tea and were very happy to see us (we waved from the pool)! Hotel staff member Ashen provided wonderfu service with a smile and was very friendly. The meals were exceptional as the food was absolutely delicous. We had wonderful food during our entire time in Sri Lanka but Kahanda Kanda stands out with some of our favorite meals. The room was clean, comfortable and stylish with what felt like a British royal/regal feel. The bathroom was huge with a wonderful soaking tub and rainshower. A few minor details were missed but likely due to Covid. During normal times, I'm sure this property exceeds expectations and would receive a Excellent score an Excellent from me.
This hotel is special and not a typical hotel. The room felt very sophisticated with British decor yet the outside has an Asian feel. Our room had a lovely plunge pool with an amazing view of the jungle.
I was there during July 2021 so there were very few guests and few options of things to do. We did yoga and got great massages. I am not sure our guest treatment would be the same if we were there in non Covid times... as the hotel seemed very short on staff and we had very little interaction with them.
That being said, the main person Ashen planned for our meals every day and was so happy and accommodating. The chef really did make great and delicious food. (Pictures attached)
I think our experience might have been different during non-covid times. The room and the plunge pool were really nice and if you are in that area, I would recommend giving this hotel a few nights.
