6/10 Good

Great ambiance in the mornings
Terrain: The way up was tough especially in rough rainy weather. Be prepared for that! Service Attitude: After my driver and I arrived after a long day, we found no one to receive us at the steps, or even as we went in, the receptionist on night duty ignored us for about 5 minutes while attending to all her other tasks and also speaking t another Caucasian, before realising that we had a booking already. To which suddenly the attitude changed, and I was offered the tea and warm towels. Was given a room that was quite far away from the main area, really cold and tired by the time I'd arrived at the tent. Redeeming factor: Lots of sunshine next day, breakfast was generous and colorful, and they also matched a fun naturalist Kasun to my short trekking that morning. Rooms: Well-designed, nice touches, but cold at night even with the heater. Some insects but that's part of the whole deal. Nice tea inside the tent made it homely. Each tent is not too close to each other, that's good. Overall for the service and location, felt it is a bit overpriced. Did not see any action at the tea plantation / gardens, maybe just not my luck :P

Such an amazing experience staying amongst the clouds. Incredible food, great facilities, and lovely staff. The spa was amazing over looking the mountains and Jesy was a fabulous masseuse. Our kids loved the cooking class. A must visit!!

Our stay at Madulkelle was wonderful - we cannot recommend it enough. The views are breathtaking, staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. The rooms/lodges were like our own little paradise up in the clouds. Definitely planning another stay!

Super stay
We had an incredible stay in Madulkelle! The honeymoon suite was a real treat - the whole property is so tranquil and relaxing. As other reviews have mentioned the food is not great, which is a real pity given the standard of food in Sri Lanka. There can also be some noise from the dogs at night. But these were things we knew in advance and we were happy to book for the scenery. Some changes and this place could be exceptional, but we loved our stay nonetheless.

Breathtaking
What a place. We loved every minute in the Eco-friendly Madulkelle Lodge. The drive there through the endless tea plantation was just amazing and once arrived we were warmly welcomed and rewarded with our most luxurious 'glamping' tent overlooking the spectacular Knuckles Ranges. The hotel itself is located directly in the tea fields and the scenery is absolutely stunning especially from the infinity pool. We did take a four-hour walking tour which was absolutely amazing and highly recommended. Our room was a permanent “tent” and very comfortable, clean and very charming. Each room has a balcony with the same stunning views across the tea plantation. The service was top class and the restaurant food was very good and excellent value. We stayed 4 nights here and didn't want to leave. Highly recommended for nature lovers and would not hesitate to stay there again.

We loved our stay here, and didn't want to leave! We had researched in advance so had a good idea of what to expect in terms of accommodation (i.e. glamping) but it out did our expectations. The staff were so welcoming for the 3 nights we were there, especially when doing some of the activities such as the bird watching trek or cooking class which were both great. The tents are amazing, feeling very luxurious with outstanding views over the valley towards the Knuckles. The pool and gardens are very well maintained, and it feels extra special to be in amoungst the tea plantation. FYI we got a private taxi to take us up to the lodge from Kandy, took around an hour and a half (at rush hour). The food was really good, especially breakfast - big breakfast and dinner meant we didn't really need much for lunch. We found our whole stay to be really amazing, and already thinking about to trying to go back!

Missed the mark
he rooms and surrounding are stunning. The lodge is let down by the disengaged staff and the imitation Western food. Dinner was $25 dollars each and more expensive than in other high end hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. The options were limited, the Western food was very poor and the Sri Lankan food was not made authentically. Breakfast was equally poor. The trekking is also overly expensive. We stayed in much better hotels at the same price point.

Wonderful stay
We loved our 2 night stay here and so far it’s been the best shower we have had! Staff are lovely and friendly. Tents are beautiful, clean and secure. Recommend doing a tea tour for 2 hours we had kumar and he was great.

The property is based on a location which is absolutely beautiful. We loved our stay here cuz of the amazing view. The facilities of the property is really good, however, I'd like if the road to get to the place made better. Breakfast could have a little bit more variety.

Incredible views. Disappointing food.
The views and estate were absolutely incredible. The rooms were clean. Food was disappointing and too westernized. Also not of very high quality. The rooms were clean and spacious but bathroom area was very dark. It was also not very convenient to open the windows on a daily basis.

Beautiful surroundings and a fun experience
Fantastic location and surroundings. It was a fun experience sleeping in a luxury tent. The bed was comfortable but we had problems sleeping during the night because it was quite cold and very windy - the walls were shaking and it felt like the tent would blow away. Usually it might not be as windy. The food was a bit of a disappointment. There was a fixed menu every night which wasn't more than OK. The breakfast was great however, but dinner and lunch menu have a lot to improve. The hotel staff was sweet, even though we had some troubles communicating; we asked for an extra duvet (since it was cold at night), this took them 1,5 days to arrange.

Fantastic experience at Madulkelle!
We stayed at the Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge for two nights. We had a fantastic time celebrating Christmas here in this incredibly beautiful place. Pictures truly do not do it justice. The food was amazing and the facilities are just gorgeous. We loved our little ‘tent’ that was tucked away on the side of the mountain. Our only complaint the entire time was that we asked for two glasses of champagne to be sent to our room and instead we received a glass of something that was definitely not champagne (maybe it was a dessert wine?!). Otherwise every experience we had there was fantastic and we would love to go back someday!

Incredible and unique
Beautiful lodge in a stunning setting. This is great if you’re looking to escape and cut off from the outside world. The lodge is set in a breathtaking landscape which means all activities are enclosed rather than venturing out and the lodge offers some great things such as tea plantation tours, waterfall tours and the infinity pool overlooking the plantations. Food was great and a good mix. Staff made it feel like an absolute luxuary. Cannot even describe the views from the luxuary tents- mind blowing. Make sure you either get transport from the hotel or a driver you trust to get you to the lodge as it’s an hour upward climb on the side of a mountain.
