Wallawwa

The staff was fantastic. The room was comfortable, but dated and the furniture was worn. It wasn’t as nice as the price would suggest it should be.

Perfect one night stay after long flight - excellent service and facilities- staff are great - very good place to relax and recharge Excellent massage and great food

Not Good Hotel Dated

An absolutely exceptional hotel. Can’t fault it in any way. Truly beautiful hotel, staff are impeccable, spa is amazing and good is outstanding.

Overall a great place to stay and great facilities. Service could have been a touch better especially at meal times.

Stunning oasis near Colombo - stunning gardens and pool, beautiful rooms and fantastic wellness program

Very nice property - all lost like a private estate. Ideal before / after a flight because not far from airport

The hotel and the suite was beautiful. The children loved the tour of the garden. Dinesh made our stay even more special! We hope to stay longer next time.

Beautiful property, wish I could have stayed longer!

Fabulous building, décor, furnishing and peaceful ambiance. An oasis down a dusty track.

Loved the place. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The place is a great retreat, the architecture romantic colonial. Very good food.

Its a beautiful property in need of major refurbishment. Your met with a wall of ants crawling through out the hotel lobby as you check in, We had rented the Manbatton Suite with a private plunge pool their highest category. The suite when we entered was hot and you could instantly smell the dampness in the walls. The suite has 2 bedrooms as we where traveling with our son. We where shocked to see that the AC in his room had leakedand the floor was full of water. The plunge pool was very dirty and no one had cleaned it for a long time. When my wife tried to use the coffe machine a lizard popped out to welcome her. We asked for a full refund and this was denied. The staff tried their best to accommodate us by giving us another room for my son to sleep in. The staff are super friendly and they really felt bad for us but it was out of their hands. On the other hand the food was very tasty and the gardens are beautiful.

It really is superb. An old colonial manor, beautifully converted into a hotel, capped with fantastic service. The rooms were spacious, very comfortable, and very quiet. My only regret was I could only stay one night. When travel back Sri Lanka, I'd definitely stay here again.

A boutique and tranquil experience, set in beautiful gardens and surrounds. 15 mins to the airport so a great place to start or end your trip in Sri Lanka. Our only regret is that we only had one night here at the end of our trip. The staff are really friendly and helpful, great pool area, extensive board games, great food with wide variety available and the staff packed a generous breakfast for us when we had to leave at 5am to catch our flight. The room was great, generous size and large bathroom and we had a private garden. Would stay here again.

Fantastic service and accomodation. Excellent location near the airport so would thoroughly recommend. Tourists need to come back and keep this country alive!

Beautiful rooms and excellent food close to the Colombo airport! The property is exquisite !!

Very small and carefully thought out to very high standards . Could do with a gym though

Beautiful, spacious hotel and lush gardens that are tucked away from the main road. Good dining facilities, a lovely outdoor pool and friendly staff.

The Wallawwa is a 20 minute taxi from Colombo Airport and I cannot imagine any better places to recover from a long haul flight. It is beyond 5*, another level to most hotels we have stayed at globally. We arrived and immediately were given wet towels and papaya juice. We had a basic room as it was only a stop over for us but wow what a room. The bathroom was magnificent and the bedroom had everything you could wish for. The food was terrific and served by a highly attentive and happy team which promotes eco friendly values. Sitting on the terrace listening to some soft jazz was a highlight of the trip for me. A great way to start our trip. It is one of several superb hotels in the teardrop group but gave no hint of it not being an individual entity. We couldn't recommend it any higher and would be back in a heartbeat if we could.

Beautiful place to sleep off the jetlag and adapt to climate. Definitely recommend 2-3 nights. ! night would have been too short, I followed the advice of other reviewers. Stunning location, beautiful clean and spacious rooms, delicious foods and juices. Very peaceful with a colonial atmosphere.
