We had 2 nights here and it was a great base to see the sights. The hotel buffet was good if served a little cold. Rooms we light and airy. There's not much to do at the hotel itself (big swimming pool) but you're probably here for the local sights which were great. Just outside the hotel (5 mins) we... more

Outstanding hotel. Great rooms scattered around the stunning grounds. Outstanding food - the Sri Lankan selection is the best ive come across in a hotel. Service is superb without being overattentive. No negatives at all!!! more

We had booked at the adjacent Village but were upgraded to the Lodge by our Tour Company. After our first night spent in Colombo, this was the real beginning of a truly memorable two weeks in Sri Lanka. Set off a rather shabby and busy main street we were completely unprepared for the beauty and tranquility of the Habarana Lodge.... more

We stayed here for 3 nights during a Thomas Cook tour of Sri Lanka in March 2007. The Cinnamon Lodge is absolutely gorgeous. The staff are attentive, the grounds are amazing, the lake is beautiful, the food is outstanding (you could get lost for days in the cooled dessert room!), the pool is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable, large... more

The drive up to the reception definately has a wow factor , like stepping back in time to the days of the raj and the britsh empire. A beautiful building with white columns and... more

We have just returned from a holiday in Sri Lanka where we spent 3 nights at the wonderful Cinnamon Lodge (formerly The Lodge) at Habarana. From our first view of the outdoor reception area with it's colonnaded facade we knew that this would be a good place to stay. Accomodation is in lodges dotted around extensive grounds situated adjacent to... more

Three generations of our family stayed at the Habarana Lodge last Easter, and there was something magical there for all of us. Grandma loved the peace and serenity, the birds and the beautiful vista across the lake. The kids loved the elephants, monkeys in the trees, and the brilliant pool. My husband and I just felt it was a really... more

I had stayed 2 nights at the Habarana Lodge 10 years ago as part of a tour of Sri Lanka, and it was one of the highlights then. Well, it didn't disappoint when I went back this year! It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, the rooms are in little buildings (our room covered the entire top floor... more

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights whilst touring around Sri Lanka. This was the 1st hotel on our tour and we weren't disappointed. The grounds of this hotel are lovely and the lodge style rooms are equally as nice. The rooms were big and clean and staff in the hotel were very friendly and always willing to help. If... more
