Great little tree house with very compfy beds, great food and a spotlessly clean pool. The staff go out of their way to make your stay amazing. Highly recommended for a family stay!

We loved our tree house and feeling surrounded by wildlife. The pool was fabulous too. The staff were all very helpful too.

Nothing to complain. Be ready to feel the heat - as the hotel is an open space, there are no ACs outside the rooms.

Staying overnight in a tree house is an experience in itself - you get to see, hear, and sometimes feel the nature around you. The tree-house we had was very comfortable and reasonably spacious. Linens were clean and beds comfortable enough. Our teenage son wanted to sleep on the upper floor in a single bed on a terrace, but changed his mind when he saw quite a few bugs on the mosquito net. It was a bit warm in the room at night, but the portable ACs could provide at least a bit of cool air around our beds. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and the breakfast is great. We also had dinners on both nights of our stay and it was great to watch food being cooked over coal on a traditional stove (I'm not sure it's the right word). Food prices are a bit high, but it tastes good and we had authentic Sri Lankan dishes - also part of the experience. The pool is a welcome feature and we used it after a day of exploration. Overall, the territory is well maintained and beautiful. All in all, it was a pleasant, nature-bound, authentic experience and we enjoyed our stay at the Ambasewana resort.

The Tree House could do with an AC upgrade, as the two units only blow air.

The place was in a great setting, really making you feel like a colonial explorer from days of old, especially in the Tree House. The local safaris topped that off, but with a lovely pool facility to cool off and rustic dining area too. Perfect for the jungle adventurers!

Nothing - the stay was amazing!

We loved the rustic style of the treehouse - particularly loved the bathroom and the feeling of showering outdoors! The food was amazing - we had breakfast both days, and we had their dinner buffet once. The staff were very hospitable and were available to help with anything that we needed at any time. The resort is kept very clean, and staff were working so hard at all times to ensure this .

The downside of the treehouse and open air bathroom is that all kinds of animals can get in there, and so it can become a bit messy! We also heard monkeys etc jumping on our (metal) roof a lot in the night, and the train going by at 3am.

Very nice location, facilities and treehouse! It felt very cool to be staying up amongst the trees. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast delicious!

Just a small thing to note but not a major criticism. To make sure all the pool beds have a mattress on them, otherwise the beds are hard and difficult to relax on

We loved its location and the nature around it, you really felt like you in the jungle, fabulous. Comfy beds

Road noise

If you like rustic you’ll love this place, the treehouses are basic but pretty , the pool area is also very nice. Great food !! Buffet style setup for all meals with a good choice. The hotel manager also helped us with our trips and transport which was very helpful!

No fridge and the lights very dim in the room. Bitten loads here as the gardens have a lot of water around. Also note CASH ONLY. We had a problem at checkout. A reminder at checkin would have helped us to have the money ready.

We stayed in a tree house and it was a quirky, cleverly constructed room with outside shower. Basically equipped. Puzzled by the review which said it had a fridge. Ours did not! The pool was amazing as were the dinners and breakfasts. Home cooked Sri Lanka food. Some of the best meals we ate on our travels. The staff were great.

Dinner was little bit expencive and it would have been nice if there was complimentary shampoo and conditioner.

Pool was amazing, rooms were really clean and comfortable. Staff was really friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was good. Outdoor shower was perfect!

No negative comments.

I cannot recommend this accommodation enough. This was our best stay in Sri Lanka. The tree house room was very unique and has been skilfully crafted to provide good quality and well built accommodation. The room was comfortable, with a fridge and air conditioning. The outdoor bathroom allows you to feel immersed in nature. This is the true meaning of a “tree house”, with trees surrounding you and birds flying past while you shower - magical! The bathroom was kept clean and lovely and warm shower too. Just make sure not to leave any belongings outside as monkeys will steal it! The swimming pool area is clean and surrounded by jungle. The staff and owner were incredibly helpful and polite throughout our stay. The owner arranged a tuktuk for us to visit Sigiriya and Danbulla for the day for a reasonable price, and allowed us to pay in GBP rather than Rupee which was helpful. We had breakfast both mornings of our stay and the evening meal once, both were delicious and plentiful. 2 tips to improve - a safe in the room would have been helpful (although the accommodation and room felt trustworthy). We would have liked to pay on card, but this doesn’t seem possible in many Sri Lankan accommodations. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable and keep up the good work.

We stayed at the Habarana Tree House last week and have not stopped talking about it since. Firstly, it’s like something out of a movie. The design and build is the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. The most authentic and interesting treehouses, the rooms were absolutely amazing. You will not stay in a more WOW place - trust me! The rest of the facilities are just as good too. I would say its the best designed swimming pool I’ve ever seen and all set amongst the jungle! The staff are an absolute delight. They were so kind, helpful and charming always checking if everything is OK. It is a family run business and you really feel part of it, they were so friendly. Finally the food was exceptional. All cooked fresh and before your eyes, the Aubergine curry was the best I’ve ever had. Thank you so much for an incredible stay we have already told everyone about you! Stay here - I promise you won’t regret it.

Fabulous location with brilliant staff and management. They will arrange tours and safaris for you at competitive rates. Food is also excellent.

Not a lot to dislike. Would have been good to have some shower gel etc in the rooms. Especially given the money for the treehouse but generally (it wasn't super cheap for Sri Lanka). On the price, I did think the treehouse was overpriced but, saying that, was an amazing room to stay in for the experience. Would have liked an alternative option for breakfast (especially for my wife) but was, on the whole, nice food perhaps a little too much fried pastries etc (traditional Sri Lankan pastries).

What an interesting place - we loved the vibe (which is why we picked it) - tree houses for rooms. Most of the grounds and some of the rooms are carved out of the surroundings. I specifically chose rooms which were tree houses - literally up in the trees. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and (because it wasn't available both nights) also stayed in treehouse. There is a smart looking pool which was clean. Didn't get a chance to use it though. The rooms themselves were basic but comfortable. They had a small fridge and tea point. The bathrooms were outdoors but totally private. Showering (and using the loo) with nothing but trees to cover you was amazing (but you need to expect the bugs and beware the monkeys). There is no points staying here if you're not interested in an experience. Food was good but not the best that we had in Sri Lanka. The menu is limited. As is usually the case, curry was about 7 dishes in total and was good. Bring your own alcohol if you want a drink (they have Lion beer, no soft drinks and no wine). They do have ridiculously expensive (for Sri Lanka) fruit smoothies/drinks (homemade). Breakfast was nice and fun. Slightly different both days but only traditional was available - you got what they gave you.

Extra tea bags and milk would have been great. Couldn't find a bed sheet for the small bed to cover at night.

It was peaceful and quiet. Enjoyed every minute of our stay.
