“Hidden Paradise!!! Where the quality matters....”
+We had an amazing stay at Splendour Residence. Words can't describe how great we felt during our stay. When we arrived the magic has started. The smiling owners were waiting for us with a freshly prepared exotic juice and wide smiles on their faces. Checking was so friendly, the staffs helped us with our suitcases, and then the room has been showed to us. What an beautiful surprise... We got a free upgrade to the beautiful apartment with two bedrooms and the sensational lake view. The bed was so comfortable giving us a beautiful sleep, the bathroom was so specious like the whole apartment. The high ceilings, A/C, huge terrace, everything helped us to feel safe and relaxed. The room had everything what was promised to the offer. When we left the room to eat something we realised that our magic stay has just begun! The food prepared by the professional chef was "wow!!!". So tasty, fresh with European, Indian and Sri Lankan dishes. All workers were smiling and caring for our enjoyment at the restaurant. When we felt that our stay couldn't be better. The owner of the hotel decided to talk with us. Such an amazing man! The owner of the hotel showed us the local attractions, organised a

“An incredible experience that I would gladly recommend to others.”
+The hotel stay was very comfortable and relaxing, with clean rooms and friendly staff who made check-in easy. The amenities were well maintained, and the location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions. The food was extremely good made fresh for each meal. There was nothing we did not like and we will be visiting again soon!

“We had an exceptional stay at Splendor Residence and can only give our highest recommendation.”
+We had an exceptional stay at Splendor Residence and can only give our highest recommendation. The rooms are very spacious, spotlessly clean and beautifully designed. Everything feels stylish and well thought out. We especially loved the large balcony, the fridge, the very comfortable soft bed, and the reliable Wi-Fi. A true highlight was the bathroom - absolutely stunning. The best shower we’ve had in Sri Lanka, honestly better than many showers back home in Germany. The rooms are simply excellent. The location is idyllic and peaceful, hidden in the forest next to a beautiful lake. It’s incredibly quiet, surrounded by nature, and you can spot many animals and birds. We did a boat tour on the lake to the islands, which was fantastic - lots of birds and a truly special atmosphere. A very special mention goes to Niroshan, the host and owner. He is the best host you could possibly imagine. You immediately feel that this place is his life’s project. He built everything piece by piece, on his own, with incredible passion, attention to detail and heart - and it truly shows in every corner of the property. Together with his wife, they were always kind, attentive, warm and genuinely caring

“An oasis of luxurious accommodation and relaxation with super friendly staff. Fabulous place!”
+It’s a real gem of a place, where nature meets comfort. We loved our room and the spectacular views it offered over the lake. It’s a family run small hotel and the owners as well as the staff go out of their way to make you have a unforgettable experience. The food was home cooked and delicious and the pool simply stunning.
−It’s a little out of the way, so not ideal for longer walks and away from the beach, but this matters not. It is so easy and cheap to get a tuktuk or transport which only took 10-15 mins to get to the local beach or nearby small town.

+The view is amazing, overlooking the Lake with panoramic view, the staff were amazing, the hotel owner himself welcomed us, the team is so helpful and the breakfast was delicious, it's definitely the best value for money hotel I've been to.
−The location is perfect as of the lake but nothing is around the hotel, it's not the easiest thing to reach the hotel

+Awesome location. 'Drenched in Green' property at the corner of breathtaking land(lake)scape. Very friendly staff. Good food. Go there for nature, fauna and flora - not for 'beachside night life'

+Our experience at Splendour Residence was nothing short of exceptional. They went above and beyond to make our stay truly memorable, showing genuine care and attention to every detail. The food deserves special mention : was consistently delicious, fresh - giving us a real taste of Sri Lankan hospitality. Beyond the comfort of the residence, we were delighted by the activities offered. Renting a bike allowed us to explore the local surrondings at a relaxed pace, while the boat tour gave us a uniquie perspective of the lake's natural beauty. We highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.
