"We had a wonderfully relaxing few days. The staff were friendly and helpful and the meals were most enjoyable. Our room was immaculately clean and the water was hot. It was lovely to be able to sit out on a balcony and read. The manager arranged a great safari to Bandula National Park and provided us with a very tasty breakfast to take with us. On leaving, they were able to arrange transport to our next hotel. The recently extended and beautifully decorated hotel is located in a quiet area...

"Great stay and great service. The hotel was overbooked, so our host went out of his way to find us a nicer room nearby. Also did the safari through the hotel - couldn't of asked for more!"

"Cabanas located in trees - you are literally sleeping outside. Different experience, but nice. Be aware that animals may enter, and the river is very close by, so maybe not so good for people who needs complete silence to sleep. Staff very helpful and nice!"

"The Managers were absolutely wonderful. So friendly, caring, so thoughtful, and so polite. Rooms were enormous with Four Poster Bed. Surrounded by Nature. Morning call from Peacocks, sunset, evening muted Elephant calls.
Food requests honoured and the cooking was magic. Breakfast FoC and as much as a Wrestler could possibly eat.
Take the family, enjoy the best of Sri Lankan hospitality. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, and I have traveled the World, stayed at the No.1 Hotels in...

"Hi, the property was nice, but in the middle of the rice fields. They did not serve dinner, so you have to take a tuktuk to town.
The room itself was large and beautiful, but the AC did not work and there was no fridge in the room."

"All in all, happy to stay here, just be prepared to do a lot of extra work to check-in.

"The hotel was absolutely amazing. The service was superb and the food was delicious. We enjoyed our stay very much.We loved the beds and the pillows , we slept really well.
Also a special mention to Vishwa the naturalist who was outstanding with her informative wildlife tours which my 9 year old son enjoyed very much.
The swimming pool was exceptionally good with a very natural feel and it was not too crowded. A great place to watch birds as you could see bee eaters, bulbuls etc and even monitor lizards. There is so much more to this place and we loved our stay there. We hope to return one day in the future."
"had a short stay at kithala and we were given a very warm welcome by the front office team .. they make you feel at home and invited us to light the Oil Lamp which is a symbol of respect ..it was very special ..wish we had stayed for few more days !! "
"Toilet Malfunctions – The toilets in the room were not functioning properly. They were not flushing or refilling, causing significant inconvenience.
No Room Change Offered – Despite reporting the issue, the hotel did not offer an alternative room or any assistance to resolve the matter.
Language Barrier – None of the staff members were able to communicate in English, making it very difficult to get help or explanations.
No Buffet Service – The hotel failed to open the buffet as expected, with no prior notice or explanation.
Disturbance at Night – There were multiple incidents of people knocking on our door in the middle of the night, which was alarming and unacceptable.
Poor Service – Overall, the service provided by the staff was unprofessional and unhelpful.
Random Door Knocking – We felt unsafe due to unexplained and random knocking on our door throughout the night."
"First of all,the staff were so welcoming and so attentive,the hotel itself is beautiful and very modern/simplistic,which is a style we liked very much. They organised the safari at Yala for us which was brilliant - only wish we had stayed longer - our favourite hotel in Sri Lanka"
"We used the hotels as a base for a safari tour and it was an ideal base. The location is great, being a short walk (1500m) out of Tissa.
Lake Wind Resort is a beautiful heritage building that has had life injected again by new management. The team could not have been more helpful and attentive.
We had a few minor issues, such as a very minor leak (understandable as the build has recently had work done), but the team addressed promptly and properly. Don’t let that put you off because the hotel was very clean, comfortable and had AC, cold fridge and served good food. Breakfast on the veranda was memorable, it is such a beautiful setting, the omelette and fruit was delicious and so well presented.
We walked along the lake each evening and enjoyed seeing the locals spending time and having fun there.
I have added a few photos for information.
We really enjoyed staying at the hotel and wish the team well as they definitely looked after us."
