Balangoda Hotels

"Very dated "

"A wonderful stay in every way. Stunningly good."

"The room was rustic, simple but comfortable enough. The staff was friendly and helpful. Location was okay—central area is walkable. For the price, it’s a viable option if you want some comfort and privacy but are tight on budget"

"Very beautiful property, including a nice pool and good gym! Even has a game room and kids playing area! Food was incredibly good and half board is included! Would come again "

"We had a very enjoyable stay, thanks to the beautiful location; excellent, friendly, personalised attention from all the staff; and delicious food at every meal - both the western food and Sri Lankan curry were superb. Our room was spacious, with all the modern conveniences and superior amenities one could need. We had a lovely walk one day and a very interesting tour of the Dilmah tea factory. "

"From a warm welcome drink to a warm good bye and everything in between was simply fabulous. Neat, tidy, great breakfast and amazing views. "

"Staff is good they don’t have air conditioners. "

"The building looks lovely and the grounds are beautiful BUT the room wasn’t great , the bathroom had an old shower curtain and the shower was above the bath. The bed was uncomfortable and the room was small and dark. it was my birthday and there was no mention of this even though my husband had given advanced information. The buffet and dining room looked spectacular but the food quality wasn’t what we were expecting given the visual wow factor. My least favourite hotel whilst staying in Sri Lanka. "

"I have stayed in many hotels around the world and Wishing Tree Boutique and Resort ranks right at the top. The views are unreal and impossible to recreate. Waking up to that scenery alone makes the stay special. The staff are outstanding. Warm, welcoming and genuinely happy. Service was spot on throughout, attentive when needed but never intrusive. They struck the perfect balance and gave great local recommendations without ever being pushy. A special mention to Sampath, the manager, who is exceptional. He is attentive, present and clearly takes real pride in the experience of every guest. Nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly. The food was excellent. Authentic Sri Lankan dishes were outstanding and the chef’s twists on European classics worked very well. I also did the hotel’s three hour walking tour which was fantastic. Beautiful scenery, local nature, temples and even seeing pottery being made. A really memorable experience. Rooms were comfortable, clean and well thought out and the whole place feels calm, personal and high quality. I would absolutely stay again."
