    Our family stay at Moksha Hotel was absolutely wonderful! Nestled in the heart of the jungle, the hotel offers a truly unique experience with private access to a stream and a natural pool, which were perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. Right from our warm welcome, the staff made us feel at home and were exceptionally attentive to our needs. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, ideal for families, with breathtaking views that enhanced our experience. Dining at the hotel was a treat, with a variety of tasty and kid-friendly meal options that pleased everyone. The location is perfect for families, providing easy access to nearby attractions and activities, yet offering a peaceful retreat in nature’s embrace. The staff's dedication to making our stay memorable was truly commendable. Moksha Hotel is a fantastic choice for families looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway in the lap of nature. We can’t wait to come back!"

    Location is only good if you want to just relax. Quite hard to do anything else as a solo travelly, good for families though with excursions available. Only other problem I had was the shower temperature was a little wonky, it got cold and warm etc. nothing too serious in my opinion I love it here

    Everything, the food and staff were definitely the highlight of the stay. Could fault anything about the hotel itself and the rooms were beautiful.

    I’m so thankful that we spontaneously changed our route and landed here at Moksha in Kitulgala! We sure were met with a rare beauty of a surprise! What fab, super clean and luxuriously comfy rooms and cutesy dining area, and such exquisite exterior architecture! Tucked in the rainforest, amidst river streams, Moksha is a heavenly treat - a serene, romantic getaway, especially for a honeymooning couple. And despite being in the center of such dense greenery, the resort manages to maintain 10/10 pest control and very smooth WIFI network + telecom, unlike some other places we stayed on this trip. We even had Netflix to chill! Food was delicious and presentation of it all was a delight too! Apart from the gorgeous pool & bar, we could also walk a few steps down and enjoy the river stream. Loved every bit of our stay at Moksha. Highly recommended, if you’re looking for an exclusive setting (with very few guests around) and tranquility.

    The bathrooms were absolutely fine - clean, comfortable, everything worked - but might benefit from a refurb in the near future. Would have loved to have more games upstairs in the bar area!

    Unbelievable stay. Gorgeous rooms, gorgeous setting, gorgeous hospitality! Being able to essentially have your own chef for the duration of your stay is amazing and everything tasted so fresh. I’m originally from Sri Lanka and have seen lots of the different climates and landscapes it has to offer but this rainforest area was something else. And the local trips the hotel can organise are great. Big shout out to all the staff at the hotel. Will definitely return.

    Probably just the 2.30 hours trip from airport to hotel, it can be pleasant though, it all depends on the weather and the time your flight lands.

    - This place is exceptional for a resourceful gateway, perfectly located to disconnect from the day-to-day stress - All the staff was lovely and friendly with us from the owners to the cleaners, they were all very focused on our comfort! - The food experience is amazing as you get to customize your menu at your convenience...a real private chef experience. - We did multiple excursions, and it is always a pleasure because everything is always customizable from timings to content of the excursions

    I personally was disappointed to see on the bill that 14% (and not 10%) taxes were charged, which is not common in Sri Lanka (Normally 10% service charge surplus). It was only after having paid that I noticed this. This does not feel fair that we had to pay 14% extra on drinks, food, laundry. It gives a negative impression. I can only hope that the extra charges are offered to the great staff that is doing their very best to give you a nice stay. -- Yet close enough to rafting / hiking facilities, you need a driver / tuktuk to go from the hotel to the village Staff is helping to arrange :-)

    Great location in the rain forest, yet close enough to go for the rafting / hiking Very friendly staff - very helpful - we met the father of the owner who is really very nice Comfortable rooms Nice breakfast near the pool Everybody is helping to give you a very nice stay After the hike, they offered to clean / dry our shoes (paying service)

    The property is so serene, calm and quiet. The rooms are clean and fully equipped with the view of the wall and the whole property. The food is hand picked from their green houses, freshly made and organic. The chef was amazing they exceeded our expectations with every meal we had. The whole staff crew was so nice and friendly, attentive and welcoming. This place is 10/10. Definitely recommend.
