This is a truly magical place to stay. We were a group of eight including two twelve year olds, and the place easily worked for all. The staff were exceptional and their cooking second to none! A place to return again and again.

That we only stayed two nights! It’s a brilliant place

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit toller Ausstattung (echte Familiengeschichte). Großer Wohnbereich, geschmackvoll und funktional eingerichtet. Super sauber, auch der Pool. Sehr ruhig gelegen. Nalin und Emla sind unglaublich nett, dezent im Hintergrund aber immer da egal was man braucht. Nalin ist ein absoluter Spitzenkoch - unbedingt alles probieren was er auftischt!

We had a wonderful stay at the Surveyor's Residence. It is located in a peaceful spot with a beautiful garden a short drive from Kandy. The staff were fantastic and made us feel very comfortable.

The on-site staff was the only good thing about this place. The manager, staff, and on-site cook were all very friendly and gracious to me and my family, maintaining a high level of professionalism throughout our entire stay.

BE AWARE: the listing for this place is deceptively written, as you will be nickel and dimed for everything. I encountered two issues right after arriving. First, I mistakenly assumed that booking the property as a 'villa' included all the rooms, but I brought two extra guests and was charged for them—my oversight. Second, the listing mentions breakfast, but it’s NOT INCLUDED. After speaking with the host, I found out that she lists breakfast, meaning you can have the cook make you something granted you purchase the ingredients.😂 Another thing I didn’t appreciate was the host’s request for guests to write down personal information on a check-in sheet. While providing a name and phone number is reasonable, I didn’t understand why I was asked for a home address, ID/passport number? When I declined to share this information, I was repeatedly urged to provide it.
