Living Heritage Koslanda

Peaceful location, relaxing environment, wonderful private waterfall, best massage ever by Chaandana, excellent cookery lesson by Sathus, amazing experience watching the monkeys pass our room in the morning

A long journey reaching the property as the A road is awaiting a much needed upgrade.

This is an extraordinary place. We loved our bungalow - it is hard to get closer to nature in a more fancy way than here! The whole concept is very nice and seems sustainable. Be aware that the location is kind of remote and you want to take the dinner at the hotel - which is very reasonably priced for 25$ and the offered quality. Also I recommend to take some of the offered tours and stuff to do! Everything is super clean and well maintained, staff is very attentive (especially the room service was exceptional). We also liked the social concept at dinner - you will be forced to socialize with other guests!

Value for money is definitely a bit questionable in comparison to other accommodations in Sri Lanka (but also probably not in luxury territory) and you also need to keep in mind that you are paying for a huge private plot and gardens that need to be maintained by a quite big team and is split among very few rooms.

Amazing place. Luxury in a remote place. Room. Stayed in a suite. Pool area. Spa, Food and Staff. Beautiful setting

The location truly is magical and the main reason really why we liked it! The food was okay although you should consider serving less as we were always conscious of the wastage. There was one young member of staff who was very helpful and great at what he does, he played with our son and helped us with any issues.

Unfortunately customer service was a let down for us, particularly at the price point per night. It was almost non existent aside from occasional check ins, but it wasn’t a check in with a ‘sorry we made an error on your dinner again last night’. Cooking class was a speedy cook and watch while writing down the steps, and other activities just weren’t pushed. You are sort of told what’s available but you have to really chase it to even find the people to ask. We also had booked at checking a cooking class for the following day, upon arrival for the class it had not been organised, so we lost time and the man who does the guided walks had already been booked, no mention from the manager who had agreed to the booking ok the first place. I think this place could be a 10/10 with better customer service.
