    Kids are welcome but not so welcome. We had a lot of back and forth to organise beds for toddlers… they could be a little more flexible. The swimming pool could have more shade.

    It’s absolutely stunning. The house is gorgeous, the view, the gardens, the architecture. You feel privileged to be able to stay in a place like this. The restaurant is brilliant. Menu is short and simple and everything is absolutely delicious and super fresh. The staff is very helpful and welcoming, always proactive.

The staff make the stay extra special with their friendliness and attention to detail. The food is also delicious!

    The hotel is obviously old and a bit expensive, but the service and overall value is exceptional. Turn down service, G&T cocktail hour, tea time, and tours of the iconic estate make it well worth it.

    The key to our door was difficult and caused us some anguish.

    The architecture, the gin and tonics overlooking the lake, the artworks, the swimming pool, the ambience. Our room was more like an apartment. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Breakfast and dinner overlooking the lake were memorable experiences.

    It's much busier now than it was before, but I guess that's what a business is all about

    It wasn't our first stay. We worried that this place, now being run by a hotel chain, might have lost much of its original charm. Luckily that wasn't quite so. The manager was very observant and always eager to help. He keeps a very good eye on things

    Absolutely the best property we have ever stayed at! From the location to the food to the service and to the overall experience! The facility is a must experience for anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and slow down for a couple of days! I could share tons and tons of pictures of the property and it would still not do justice to the beauty of it. I would like to thank the staff for being so incredibly hospitable throughout our stay. I wish it could have been much longer!

    The check-in process was not expedient. The guests were on a tour and the guide was paying with a Sri Lankan debit card which somehow caused an issue. Guests were left waiting while this issue was sorted out.

    Lovely accommodation and surrounds. The guests thoroughly enjoyed their stay particularly being fans of Geoffrey Bawa architecture.

    Leaving

    Lunuganga is a once in a lifetime experience and a true sanctury. The property's architecture and gardens surprise & delight at every turn. The rooms are private and grand in scale with light artistic touches. The staff are warm and attentive but also allow you space to wander and explore the gardens hidden treasures. I felt trully taken care of yet also perfectly independent - a real feat. This is what true luxury feels like.
