The staff was truly a highlight to my trip, the amount of kindness and hospitality was above the chart, very smooth process and professional attitude, the lady and owner of the hotel were available all the time. Rooms are big and modern, service is available all the time.

It would have been nice to have breakfast or dinner included in the price of the room. Also the parking was very limited so you should probably drive a small or medium vehicle here. Getting to the location was a bit of a challenge but it was part of having a quiet place.

The hosts were very accommodating and got anything that we requested. The view of the lake was beautiful and the environment was very peaceful. These days in Sri Lanka it is hard to find a vacation spot that is not crowded but this place was perfectly quiet. Also the room was amazing! The pool was beautifully kept and maintained.

Nothing, only that I couldn't stay longer

I don't know where to start. The place is just magical. It's completely in nature and has an amazing view over the lake. The surroundings are peaceful far away from any noise. The rooms are the biggest I've stayed in here in Sri Lanka and very luxurious. Also the balcony is huge and you can sit down and just enjoy the view on bird island and the lake as well as from your bed when you're waking up. The swimming pool was nice and refreshing and I had it all by myself. Besides the great place the hospitality was on a next level. My mornings have started with a refreshing homemade juice/smoothie that was brought to my room and free of charge. What a great start to the day. Furthermore, the owner arranged a private boat tour on the lake to visit the small islands such as Cinnamon island and I even could see a small crocodile on the tour. The tour took over 3 hours and it was no mass tour. Also, he recommended a great tour guide for Yala National Park and Ella. The dinner I had at the hotel was amazing. You can taste that he was previously working in a 5 star restaurant as a chef. Thanks again for everything and I definitely will come back the next time I'm visiting Sri Lanka.

Nothing, our stay was perfect

We were very lucky to choose this place for our holiday in this beautiful country, and had an amazing experience at Splendour Residence!Probably one of the best places we have ever been to on our little planet. The views are outstanding , place is quiet and very peaceful. The food is delicious, and we been introduced to full Sri Lanka cuisine by probably one of the best chefs in Sri Lanka. Owners of residence were very welcoming, helpful and polite. We highly recommend this place for your holiday if you would like to run away from noisy environment and enjoy magic views of nature . Big thank you for hosting us and making our stay so exceptional! We are looking forward to coming back!

My experience was exceptional. The hotel owner, Niroshan, personally greeted me at the airport when I arrived, and provided transfer. During my stay, he generously upgraded my room to one with a better view, at no extra cost. The spacious rooms were quite comfortable, and the dinners offered at the hotel were consistently satisfying. What truly made my stay memorable was the hospitality extended by Niroshan. He organized a river safari for me and my friend, one evening he took me on a trip to Galle with his family. To top it off, one evening, Niroshan and his wife prepared a special dinner featuring local dishes, which they graciously offered free of charge. Overall, Splendour Residence provided not only a comfortable stay but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a standout choice for visitors seeking a delightful experience in the area.

Its bit hard to locate it via google maps. Though the road to place is quite good.

This is hidden gem. The view, vibe and architectural design of the place is beyond what I expected.

Everything was extremely good!

First of all I would like to thank the hotel owner Niroshan and his wife Lakshmi for their hospitality and for making everything for our comfortable stay in Sri Lanka. The hotel itself is located in a picturesque village just above the Madhu River. The rooms have a beautiful view of the river, islands and jungle. There are only six rooms in the hotel, so Niroshan can give enough time and attention to each of the guests. Start your day with the pool and freshly squeezed fruit juice. The breakfast at the hotel is delicious and quite varied. Niroshan is a wonderful cook with years of experience, so be sure to try the dishes prepared by him. Our stay here fell on New Year's Eve, which we decided to celebrate at the hotel, which we never regretted. The hotel team organized for us an unforgettable evening with delicious food, wine, fireworks and national dances. Especially memorable was the excursion to a tea plantation and a tea factory. You should definitely visit it, you will learn a lot of interesting things about the technology of harvesting and production, as well as taste very tasty tea. Niroshan is a very interesting person and will gladly tell you about the specifics of life on the island, local traditions and history. I did not want to leave. But we will definitely come back, because there is still so much to see on the island, so much to try!

Brilliant location and great view

Stayed in December 2023

Even though the hotel is just an year old, you can already see some construction flaws. Our balcony sliding doors had like a centimeter gap between them so you could hear everything from outside (especially guests having breakfast from 7:30am) and mosquitos can have a free party at your room.. cables hanging from the ceiling is something everyone is used to in Sri Lanka, but for a 5 star hotel, I would expect more. We didn't like our pillows, but that is just our subjective thought. Also many big red ants are crawling all around the pool sunbeds. Our wifi was extremely slow and so unusable ( maybe problem of our room only, we didn't say anything to the reception, because we had unlimited data)

Very kind owner who does his best to ensure clients satisfaction. If you love art, you should speak to him about it ! He is a passionate collector. The hotel is very clean and spacious. Breakfast could be a little bit better for a 5 star hotel, but still it was delicious. The pool was clean. The very best thing about this hotel is the view you get from your room. Amazing 🤩...

Beautiful stay! The staff are very welcoming and helpful with everything. Really good food and well furnished property with all required amenities. The owner and his wife are too good and very much helpful. Can enjoy a boat safari which is also worthwhile. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect

It was just perfect! The villa and the environment is wonderful! Even nicer than on the picture! The family took care of every which we had and were super friendly! We recommend this place to everyone! Its much more nicer than the hotels on the beach, and very easy to reach by public Transport and TukTuk for the last meters. It was the nicest accommodation we had on our 3.5 week Sri Lanka trip and a perfect place to finish it :-)

Stunning views and amazing staff

Stayed in December 2023

Like most of the time in Sri Lanka, you got to be prepared with Mosquito repellent. But that’s just nature and not a problem of the Hotel!

With a stunning view, this property took my expectations to a new level! Located in a quiet area beside the lake, I enjoyed the peaceful and quiet surroundings! Modern but not landscape changing the Hotel is placed in the hill by the lake. Staff and owners are always there for you to help if anything is needed! Thx to all of them! 🙏🏻 At my next stay, I definitely will come again!

We had to leave to catch our plane home.

From the moment we arrived at this hidden gem until the last we were treated like royalty. Niroshwan, Lakshmi and all the staff were so nice, they went above and beyond to make our stay even more special. Their culinary skills were amazing and the taste and quality of the food was exceptional with many options to choose from. The room was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed from ensuite shower room, fresh linen, a safe and fridge to mention a few. The lake view from inside our room and balcony is breathtaking and Neroshwan was so kind to arrange a boat safari where we enjoyed observing the many local wildlife. We walked in to the town which was quite a pleasant 20 minute walk and were greeted along the way many times by the friendly locals, we felt very safe on route. The hotel wasn't overly expensive but still felt like we should be paying much more for the quality and service that we received. It was worth every rupee. I would strongly advise anyone travelling to Sri Lanka to consider travelling down the coast and stay at this beautiful resort, you will not be disappointed. We sincerely wish Niroswan, Lakshmi and family all of the luck in the future. We will not forget this place and have plenty of amazing photos and memories to look back on. We can't thank them enough for the happiness, their generocity and this whole wonderful experience.

Highly recommend Splendour Residence. We had a very warm welcome and the lovely couple and the support staff, Mohan made our stay very memorable. You must try their Sri Lankan spread - by far the best we've had! So much care and attention has gone into designing this property. The room was spacious and clean and was an exact replica of what was advertised on booking.com. Niroshan and Lakshmi made us feel at home throughout our stay. We definitely hope to be back soon! You will not regret this visit - Enjoy :)

The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms, and high quality service. The Madu river scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to stay in such a quiet and peaceful environment. It is a really great location and a very loyal staff with adorable hospitality. Such a great place to enjoy your holiday.. Thank you! Will recommend to my all colleagues!
