    Nothing, can’t think of something I would improve.

    EVERYTHING! The good, the room, the team running the place, the location, the view, the swimming pool…everything was perfect and very well curated.

    The fact that we had to leave.

    This is a magical place, unlike any hotel we've stayed at. The location, the interior design, the artwork, the food, and last but not the least, the staff, which included Kasun and his team, were exceptional. We will definitely be back.

    Staying at Trebartha is like finding a little slice of paradise. It is an intimate setting, with just four rooms, which makes it a wonderful place to switch off and find inspiration. The architecture and setting are stunning, and the food is truly spectacular.

    Trebartha East the Roundhouse was one of the best place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka. The hotel is in the most stunning location and the tranquility of 4 bedrooms made it feel very exclusive. All the staff were brilliant and so kind, we felt very looked after. One thing I must highlight is the food it was outstanding, we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel and all were delicious. I’d highly recommend anyone visiting Sri Lanka to stay here, you won’t be disappointed!

    Nothing to note.

    The Round House at Trebartha East Plantation is simply one of the most memorable hotel stays of my life. The building is an architectural masterpiece, seamlessly blending traditional Sri Lankan architecture and luxurious hospitality. From the moment you arrive, there an undeniable sense of tranquility, like stepping into another (more peaceful) world. The views from the 4 rooms are over a cinnamon plantation - you cannot see or hear another soul, just the sounds of peacocks every morning. The rooms were comfortable and very spacious with modern bathroom facilities and excellent WiFi. The infinity pool is beautiful and the staff are happy to serve drinks or lunch poolside. They also have an on-site massage room and the masseuse they use is one of the best I’ve had anywhere - he had an absolute Midas Touch at an incredibly good value (45 minutes was about $30.) Breakfast was a highlight of our stay - a delicious spread of Sri Lankan sweet and savory foods, fresh fruits, coffee and tea, and made to order egg dishes. The staff were exceptional. They consistently went out of their way to help us with arranging tuk tuk rides, recommending local attractions, or booking surf lessons. They were so warm and hospitable. They did a nightly turndown service and cleaned the rooms every day. For only 4 rooms at this hotel, the staff:guest ratio is extremely high. We celebrated Christmas at this hotel and they arranged a gorgeous Christmas dinner, prepared by a local celebrity chef who came in to cook for us. They even lit up the tree in the center of the garden with Christmas lights for us. It made our stay here that much more special. We couldn’t recommend this place enough and were so sad to leave. Thank you to the team for an excellent stay.

    Everything was perfect.

    This property including the staff is a true Sri Lankan gem. From the moment you step into this hotel, you immediately know that it's unlike any place you've ever been before. The roundhouse concept is genius as it provides 360 degrees of uninterrupted views of the area. I'd hate to describe the place much more because you must see it for yourself. It's a place worth the attention of Architectural Digest! The infinity pool is the highlight. With only a limited number of rooms available, you'll never find yourself crowded in the pool hence it feels almost like a private pool, which it did during our stay as we used it thrice and every single time we were the only ones in the pool. I have rated this the most serene common pool I've been lucky to take a dip in. The food is also excellent here, which you have to pick from the a la carte menu. The breakfast with the stunning morning view was the icing on the cake. Kasun is an excellent manager and a wonderful host. He along with his team comprising of the Jack of all trades, Tharaka made our stay super convenient and memorable.

    We absolutely LOVED our stay here. Kasun and his great team really made it special. From beginning to the end everything was taken well care of and in perfect order. The food is delicious! We had dinner both nights and it was perfect. The breakfast is stunning and served in the most scenic location. The room is airy, pretty designed and the bed is comfy. It feels like a vip experience with only 4 rooms and the pool is breathtaking too. We hope to come back another time! 😍

    Absolutely nothing - it was a perfect stay

    Beautiful design, excellent food and thoughtful service! Secluded and quiet stay that feels truly luxurious and Kasun + team will make sure your every need is taken care of. Take a walk around the plantation with the hotel dog Billy and learn about cinnamon farming, or head out to the nearby tea plantations for tours and tasting.

    This is nitpicking as it was close to perfect but: - they need an espresso machine to make cappuccinos etc. - better communication for pool service (one of those buttons to call staff would be perfect) - towels on ground weren’t cleared at turndown - I’d encourage the owners to consider an all inclusive option, I’d pay a lot more to have all drinks and food included

    This hotel is divine. Spent over a month in Sri Lanka at many properties and this is the best. Perfectly tranquil in middle of cinnamon plantation, the architecture is fabulous. Food is delicious, reminds me of high end Africa lodges. Really stunning all around.

    it's a 5-10 minute tuktuk into town; not a problem for us, but not as close as some may want

    one of the most beautiful hotels in the country. the setting on top of a hill is magnificent. the staff are all friendly and helpful. the breakfast plentiful and the dinner we had one evening was also delicious. We were fortunate to have the place to ourselves, but with only 4 rooms it wouldn't have felt full regardless. we had a problem with a roof leaks but the staff were very quick to deal with it. excellent.

    Nothing. It everything was perfect.

    Truly splendid property. Immersed in nature, perfect if you are looking for a peaceful stay away from the city. But still a short drive away from Ahangama beach. Ample room, with a lot of amenities, including floor to ceiling windows overviewing the paddy fields. The food was delicious, and since the property lies atop a hill in cinnamon plantation, you can easily find this spice used in a lot of the dishes. The staff was friendly and prompt. We felt very well taken care of throughout the whole stay. Will definitely return.
