Our stay here was fantastic! Room was clean, comfortable beds and breakfast was delicious. But above all it was Anil and his lovely family that made our stay perfect. Incredibly kind and helpful with planning our trips and driving us everywhere by tuktuk. Be sure to have dinner at the lodge at least once during your stay, it was the best!

    The family were so lovely. The lady did our washing and Sosa was rally helpful giving us lifts, they both were very kind and helped us planned our days. The breakfast was different most days, they made us a packed lunch and gave us loads of fruit to try when we booked a safari, can’t reccomend enough! The room was spacious, really nice shower.

    Our time at the Kandalama Lodge was beautiful. We felt special from the beginning. Everything was clean and tidy, the interior and decoration was on point. The bathroom outside was a bliss. We stayed at the villa with a private pool which was luxury as well. We felt so at home! Madushan made sure that we had a nice trip to Dabula and organized a driver for us. He made sure that everything was perfect. The food - try the Sri Lankan curry it is soo good- and the cocktails were amazing! We highly recommend to stay there!

    The Owner (Nuwan) who was always there was charming and very attentive. The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom is large and spacious. We booked a safari with them, and it was great; we saw about 80 wild elephants in one day, which was amazing. They also arranged a Car for us to go see the sunrise at Pidurangala.

    Perfect place to relax at the end of the day… or to spend the entire day! Only a handful of lodges and beautifully styled. Very clean inside the lodges and around the pool/garden. Loved the open air bathroom.

    A small number of beautiful lodges in beautiful green surroundings. Everything fits together perfectly and is of good quality. Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. The food is more expensive than outside but it is simply fantastic. We had one of the best vegetarian curry selection cooked after our preferences. The breakfast is also really good.
