    That they didn’t offer Sri Lankan breakfast, having only the western choice wasn’t our thing as when we travel we like to eat like the locals

    We loved the design and the look of the rooms, very clean, comfortable and nicely designed

    The SWP is located overlooking the lake in Kandy. it is set back from the main road, which give easy access, but gives the feeling of being away from the city. the staff were welcoming and attentive from the moment we arrived until our departure. They were willing to keep our muggage while we did a three days hike in the Knuckles Mountains, and helped coordinate our meeting with our friends for the second part of our visit.

The room was very spacious and a very nice balcony with great views. Both dinner and breakfast were very good! I would highly recommend staying in SWP Eco lodge.

    A ridiculously steep hill which the car struggled to climb about 1 in 5. This steep hill would not be suitable for people with mobility problems and my wife was unable to walk up it. This steep hill would be difficult to climb down without good walking shoes or if it was wet Owner did provide tuc-tuck on departure for bags to be taken down to the car. Should be noted on advertisement with booking.com

    Lovely hotel in a very good location overlooking the lake and Temple of Sacred Tooth. Good breakfast.

    there is a small slope walking uphill to the hotel. if you have big and heavy luggages, contact the management team for assistance in advance.

    the room was huge! a villa to be exact. location right next to the lake, walking distance to the temple. rooftop restaurant has a nice and romantic atmosphere. staff are very welcoming and helpful

    Only the continental breakfast was available during our stay (rather than Sri Lankan), which was a bit disappointing.

    We only stayed one night but had a very nice time. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and clean, with a nice view of the lake. And the location is excellent, just a 10min walk to a food market and 15mins to the main temple.

    The walls and windows are very thin in this property. We woke up multiple times due to the birds chirping outside.

    View, Location, Room, Architecture were all exceptional. Highly recommended. Short steep hill to climb to get to hotel, but that is what provides the wonderful lake view. Short walk to town and markets, and tooth temple a reasonable walk, also. Nice a la carte breakfast either Sri Lankan or western. Staff were all very nice and professional.

    When checking out they automatically add in a 10% service charge for your stay which is too much considering the cost already. Shouldn’t be allowed or at the very least you should be made aware at the time of booking.

    Great view with a lovely room plus nice staff and good location.

    Very well situated to city centre but not to close, clean and spacious rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent with an amazing view.
