"Η διαμονή μας εδώ ήταν απολύτως αξιοσημείωτη και συστήνουμε σε όλους αυτό το μέρος. " εργασία είναι από τους πιο ευγενείς, τους πιο γενναιόδωρους και πραγματικά εμπλεκόμενους ανθρώπους που έχουμε συναντήσει ποτέ, η ζεστασιά τους πραγματικά έκανε τη διαμονή μας λησμονημένη. Το φαγητό είναι εξαιρετικό τόσο το πρωινό όσο και το δείπνο ήταν μεταξύ των πιο νόστιμο γεύματα που είχαμε στη Σρι Λάνκα. Τα δωμάτια είναι ευρύχωρα και προσφέρουν όμορφες θέαμα στους αγρούς, όπου θα μπορούσαμε να δούμε μπαστούνια, μπουφέ και άλλα άγρια ζώα. Η πισίνα είναι μεγάλη και τέλεια για να χαλαρώσει, στρογγυλοποιώντας μια πραγματικά ιδιαίτερη εμπειρία. Θα επιστρέψουμε σίγουρα και δεν μπορούμε να συστήσουμε αυτό το μέρος αρκετά."

"The hotel has a beautiful building and setting, rooms are big enough and staff is friendly, but that is about where it stopped for us. Our booking was not made or lost, we luckily got two rooms, took about 30min to get ready, safe was locked, no toilet paper and shower went cold after 2 min. Smaller bed than expected and room looks and feels like it is neglected. Bar only has one red and one white wine and one beer, although the bar menu is about 1 full page of items. On the dinner menu about 30% of the menu was not available. I must say the dishes that was available was very tasty. The whole hotel lacks a vibe, that touch that makes one feel home is just not there and more availability of F&B Proximity to nature reserve is great, but I think one can do a bit better and still be in the same area."

"This was a full natural experience and the hotel was full of nature. There are lots of places where we can take photoes.btw don't ask me how the food was because I can't describe those delicious food and the cook is an Australian cook with great potential."

"Είχα μια υπέροχη διαμονή σε αυτό το ξενοδοχείο. Τα δωμάτια ήταν καθαρά, άνετα και καλά συντηρημένα, καθιστώντας την διαμονή μου πολύ χαλαρή. Το προσωπικό ήταν καλοδεχούμενο, ευγενικό και πάντα πρόθυμο να βοηθήσει με οποιεσδήποτε ερωτήσεις ή αιτήσεις. Η τοποθεσία του ξενοδοχείου ήταν εύκολη, με εύκολη πρόσβαση στις κοντινές προσελκυστήρες και βασικές υπηρεσίες. " εγκατάσταση ήταν εξαιρετική και όλα ήταν οργανωμένα και καλά συντηρημένα. Συνολικά, είχα μια μεγάλη εμπειρία και θα ήθελα να συστήσω αυτό το ξενοδοχείο σε όλους που αναζητούν μια άνετη και ευχάριστη διαμονή. Περιμένω να μείνω εδώ ξανά στο μέλλον."

"Είχαμε μια υπέροχη διαμονή στο Χίντεαου του Κάλου, η τοποθεσία είναι γεμάτη γκρίνια, με ένα όμορφο κήπο τέλειο για χαλάρωση. Επισκεφθείτε τον κήπο των πεταλούδων το πρωί και παρακολουθήστε τα ροζ λουλούδια να ανθίζουν με τον ήλιο είναι μαγικό συναίσθημα. Τα δωμάτια είναι καθαρά, άνετα και ευρύχωρα. Το προσωπικό ήταν φιλικό και πολύ προσεκτικό στις ανάγκες μας. Το φαγητό έχει τόσο φρέσκο γούστο, όσο παράγεται από τον οργανικό κήπο τους και έρχεται κατευθείαν στο τραπέζι μας. Σας ευχαριστώ ιδιαίτερα για όλα τα υπέροχα πιάτα κατά τη διάρκεια της 2ας νυχτερινής μας επίσκεψης."

"A small‑scale hotel in the middle of nature. The rooms are simple, which actually makes them feel original. The air conditioning works very well. The food in the hotel is prepared with local ingredients and tastes great. The manager of the hotel often acts as the guide for both the boat and jeep safaris. He’s a very pleasant person who knows a lot, explains things well, and seems to know every path in the area. The staff is very friendly too. I can highly recommend this place."

"Very quaint and secluded property very close to the safari park. Individual cabins were very spacious, great AC, private porch for sitting and the outdoor shower and bathroom was very cool! The staff were very friendly and accommodating as well. There is not much to do out in the wilderness but after a no day of safari it was nice to go to Hantara to relax."

"Whilst I’ve stayed at Mandara Rosen many times, I’ve honestly never taken the time to write a review. But this time, something felt different — and I thought it was time to finally pen my two cents. In the past, my experiences have always been lovely. The staff have been helpful, the rooms clean and well-kept, and the atmosphere calming — a perfect space to unwind after a day in Kataragama. The pool has always been a personal highlight, especially after being out in the hot sun during religious observances. It’s been a place I’ve recommended without hesitation. The food, too, has never disappointed. I remember the buffet spreads — generous, delicious, and satisfying in every sense. Something for everyone, and nothing to complain about. This time, however, was a shorter visit. I was in Kataragama briefly, with two things planned — lunch at the hotel, and arrangements for a day room so those of us traveling (a group of five) could freshen up before heading back to Colombo. I had called ahead and was informed that a day room would be provided for Rs. 15,000, which I agreed to. But once at the hotel, that offer was off the table. Instead, I was told I’d need to take two rooms — totaling Rs. 30,000 — just for a quick change and refresh. That felt unreasonable. In today’s context, where most travelers aren’t staying overnight and hotels are struggling to fill rooms, this seemed like a short-sighted way to recover costs — at the guest’s expense. I did have lunch at the restaurant, and once again the food was fantastic. Though it was à la carte this time (understandable given low occupancy), it was still flavorful and well prepared. The restaurant staff were kind and welcoming, and I appreciated their service. In the end, I went to another hotel that offered a day room at nearly one-fifth the price. A hotel of similar standard was also willing to offer one room at the same rate of Rs. 15,000, as initially promised here. Unfortunately, the only reason I didn’t go there was the distance — otherwise I would have. What saddens me is that instead of gaining business, Mandara Rosen lost it that day. All for the sake of an extra room rate. And that’s the only reason I’m giving this a 4-star rating — not for the hospitality, the setting, or the food, which remain excellent — but because it felt like the focus shifted from understanding the guest to maximizing the margin."

"We had a memorable trip to udawalawe with our guide Solomon and driver Keri who showed us over 50 species of birds plus elephants crocodiles mongoose jackals turtles often in ares of the park where we saw no one else. Solomon’s clear identification and keris sharp eyes made the trip for us. Thank you both!!!!"
