    The leeches! Not that impressed with the tea plantation trip - didn't even get offered to try any of the teas.

    Gorgeous tented room. Pool area was lovely, views gorgeous, staff so very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay.

    It rained non stop, but of course it wasn’t the hotels fault. A bit difficult to get there but that was just another plus for us

    Amazing location. So so so beautiful nature. Really nice staff.

    We are nature lowers and loved everything about Madulkellee. Nature at it best, Mountain View, waterfalls, lot of monkeys, birds, deer, goats, … lovely stay

    Breathtaking view of the Nuckles mountain from the room, the infinite pool and the dining area. Staff members were very friendly and hospitable. The chef happily accommodated our special meal request and the food was excellent. Special shout out to Nadun, Sanjeeva, Kumudu and the chefs Vishva/ Sunimal for taking good care of us. “

    The road to get to the lodge is not welcome. It didn’t interrupt us at all but I can understand that for some it can affect. When you get the resort you want to stay and not go down until you leave.

    The location. The music the atmosphere, for those who want relax , the stuff are very nice and generous. There is wonderful garden and nice swimming pool. The area around nice for traveling and exploring.

    The road is extremely hard, I was driving and I must say it’s challenging. If you go with a driver, is not your problem. Or you can hire an helicopter.

    The tent n15. Very isolated as I requested, thanks for that ! Very nice decoration, really you feel like in Memories of Africa, but with the amazing views.

    Incredible and unique

    The access to the resort was a major turn off unfortunately as much as we liked the place the road to get there is atrocious - bumpy, potholed, twisty, narrow, and well over an hour and half like this. Our very experienced driver was fine and got us there ok but ideally need a 4x4 or better still find a helicopter to get there! Also, there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms. You can access internet only at the dining hall.

    Breathtaking location, well worth going out the way to visit here. we felt like we'd arrived in paradise which I don't say lightly, it was like nothing we'd ever seen before. The views are incredible, the facilities are luxurious and relaxing, the restaurant serves food to a very high standard and the staff were incredibly accommodating. There's a wide range of activities which you can do at the lodge, from cooking courses through to hikes and some self-care (full spa treatments). The staff truly went above and beyond to accommodate our needs specially the meals as my wife and me are vegetarians. We'd come back to Sri Lanka just to visit the resort again.

    The tents and more specifically the zip-up doors need replacement.

    The property is gorgeous, the views from the room truly beautiful, the room decor just lovely. The pool and gardens superb. Very friendly and serviceable staff. I wish I could have stayed longer, and no doubt that under sunny weather, it must feel like the perfect place.

    The road up to the lodge is in bad shape - we felt terrible for our driver’s new car. It is pretty unbelievable that they assume you can drive there without problems. They should arrange a car area on the bottom of the hill and come to pick you up. Our driver was not happy, and we felt sorry for him. Note that once up there you cannot really leave ( which you don’t want to anyways because it is the most beautiful place) The pool filter is very loud.

    Location is incredible. Staff is so friendly. Got the honeymoon suite for half the price of the website, therefore great value for money. The tent was a dream and we are so happy that we spent one night there. One thing that could have even further improved our stay: a bootle of bubbles in the minibar fridge - we would have bought it :)

    One and a half hour drive from Kandy, the road up the mountain is in bad shape. If you easily get carsick, it could be challenging.

    Unique experience with an amazing view. Very special to live in a exclusive tent in a tea lodge! Strongly recommend.

    If you are driving there by yourself, be aware that the road is a nightmare! Maybe it is easier with a 4x4, but we drove a tuk tuk and it wasn't fun at all.

    Nature, staff, accomidation, food, organised trips and activities.... everything was superb.

    If you make it to this marvelous location, be ready to be amazed. Feels like you are the king and queen of the world. The services are outstanding, we had a little issue the first night and the hotel turned it around to one of the best experiences we ever had. Highly recommended. A grand hotel in the real meaning of the word.
