+Very nice staff! The view was very worth it. Breakfast and dinner were good.
−We knew in advance, but it’s a bit in the middle of nowhere and the road to the hotel is pretty steep. For us it was no problem but keep that in mind

“Incredible experience overall. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to be near the city but remain relaxed”
+Staying here was such an incredible experience. The staff were amazing and very attentive. The food was reasonably priced and super delicious with lots of options. We even asked for some things off the menu and it was accommodated easily. It was about 30 minutes from the centre of Kandy and 20 minutes drive from the botanical gardens. The view was probably one of the best I’ve ever seen. The pool was wonderful and the sunsets were just incredible. Thank you so much for such a great experience.
−Wasn’t a problem for us but…the property is on top of quite a steep hill. Some vehicles couldn’t get right up there. So just be careful if you have any knee problems etc. But transport was easy to book through the property or Pick me, we just met them at the bottom of the hill.

“Generally exceptional but difficulty getting back once out”
+It was a difficult one to try and decide how to rate this place because the staff in the room you swimming pool were exceptional. Issue I had was once I left the hotel to go anywhere I had great difficulty getting back due to the address on Booking.com the intend miles away from the actual site so it was very hard to use pick me or Uber as it didn’t give them the correct address. If I used.Tuk tuk they seem to want to increase their price dramatically as they didn’t want to go out as this place is up in the hills approximately 25 minutes from the centre of Candy and the road is exceptionally steep and the last part that only a steep but he’s quite bumpy. I had one incident where the return journey.tuk tuk driver once he realised where it was stated that his vehicle had an issue he couldn’t take any further and as a solo female over 60 traveller being told this in the dark on the side of the road was quite upsetting. I refused to leave until an alternative tuk tuk came. He also was rather sceptical but in fairness he did get me there. This left me feeling concerned about not leaving about getting back if I went out for the day hence my score. I did feed this back to the owner as it’

“Beautiful if remote stay”
+Stunning views and friendly staff. Food was excellent and pool was a huge bonus. Sitting on our room balcony, or one of the various hotel balconies, with a book and cup of tea was bliss. We had chosen the hotel for its out of the way location, as our previous hotel was in a town centre.
−The rooms are lovely but the bathrooms are very dated and require a deep clean / replacement. The pool is very well kept and clean, but would benefit from a few new loungers to make the area more welcoming.

“A truly magical place with a breathtaking view”
+I've stayed at SkyLodge 4 times, and I don't know why it took me so long to write a review. It has been my favourite place to stay in Sri Lanka! Let's start with the breathtaking view and the large swimming pool, with a fantastic view over the mountains and the sunsets. At night, the mist covers the peak and creates an almost mystical atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the restaurant has some of the best food I've had in any hotel in Sri Lanka, and the overall atmosphere is just a perfect blend of cozy and comfortable. It is definitely a bit far from Kandy's city center, but I would recommend anyone with a car (or just booking a taxi from the train station) to stay there, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, in one of the most peaceful place I've been to in Sri Lanka, and with one of the best price for value. I am leaving Sri Lanka soon, but I wish I could come again.
−Absolutely nothing.

+Vriendelijke eigenaar! De weg ernaar toe was pittig voor de elektrische tuktuk en ging bijna mis, maar we werden meteen geholpen. Prachtig uitzicht. Ontbijt goed verzorgd!
−Het is wat verder van Kandy (30-40 minuten).
