The Heritance is like no other hotel you would have stayed at before. They are so seemlessly integrated with the jungle around them that you'll be able to experience the surrounding nature whilst staying at the hotel. The staff are all so accommodating and you can book cool dsy trip excursions at reasonable prices. The buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner were unbelieveably good. The lady that makes fresh hoppers is thr best!

We had a wonderful stay! The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The housekeeping staff was particularly lovely. We enjoyed the different towel animals they created. Our room was comfortable. The bathroom was quite spacious. And the onsite restaurants were delicious. We appreciated the wide variety of food available at breakfast. Highly recommend this hotel.

Wonderful location for a hotel. Fabulous views. Very good room. Only concern was the number of large groups staying there who dominated the restaurant.

Unforgettable
Heritance Kandalama is worth visiting for the building alone - I can't remember being this moved by architecture. If the idea of a hotel built into forest, with sweeping views of lakes and mountains, and of sharing open corridors with monkeys and bats delights you, then you can't do better. The highpoint of our stay were our three tours (bird watching, jungle hike, and the free architectural tours - our birdwatching by boat tour was canceled on account of rain) with in-house naturalist Nalinda. Nalinda's vast knowledge and pride in the place (building and forest) made our walks with him one of the high-points of our time in Sri Lanka. Since elephants are roaming freely through the property, it isn't entirely safe to go walking without expert supervision. Thanks also to Lakmi who checked us in, and all the other staff, who looked after us wonderfully throughout our stay. My one suggestion: maybe install some kind of general tip box at reception so visitors have an easy way to thank the cleaners and cooks etc we don't interact with directly.

The hotel is isolated and overlooks a lake with views of Sigiriya. While it is an old hotel with dated rooms and fixtures, the staff are very friendly and the original ambience of the hotel, to have nature encroach on all of its areas, redeems its shortcomings. It's a charming place.
