“Amazingly beautiful place, the kingdom of peacocks”
My wife and I spent 7 days at Mailagama Cinnamon Residence. The hotel is located in a very beautiful and quiet place in the middle of green rice fields. We loved to walk and there were many routes around - there were large lakes nearby. You meet very few people, just many-many peacocks or a lonely lizard. The hotel is nice looking and comfortable. Our room was clean and large. There was very good hot water pressure, probably the best of the 9 hotels in Sri Lanka where we stayed. Terrace with beautiful views of the surrounding area. There was a large space for working on a laptop, doing yoga and meditation, with fans running. As we are freelancers it was essential for us. We were delighted with the food cooked by two very kind ladies. The hotel manager was incredibly attentive to all our needs, very punctual and obliging. We were also glad to meet the hotel owners. Indira and her husband showed us their cinnamon plantations. It is not like in numerous “Spice gardens”, where they try to sell tourists cinnamon at an increased price. There was a small family production here, which was specially shown to us. You can buy cinnamon, but no one imposes it. We bought some as gifts for our friends. And we were also very grateful to our hosts for driving us along the highway. Within half an hour we met 3 elephants, a herd of buffalo and deer. And this was not a nature reserve, but an ordinary road. On another day we went on a safari to Yala Park. We saw 3 leopards, wild pigs and many other animals. The safari was booked through the hotel, the price was quite normal. Overall, this is one of the best hotels in terms of price-quality. Many people only stay for a day to go on safari, but this place deserves more. We are going to return here next year and recommend this hotel to everyone who likes nature

Fourteen members of our family spent on 11th and 12.04.2024 nights at Mailagama Cinnamon Residence, Sellakatharagama.
The rooms are very clean and with all comfortable facilities.
The staff was very friendly and supportive.
Food was very delicious and we had a BBQ dinner with a Calypso Band.
The surrounding was very pleasant with bird singing and there were lot of Peacocks around the adjoining paddy fields and cinnamon plantation.
We highly recommend this facility for any group.

Beautiful place, yummy food and wonderful hosts and staff! They have the personal touch in everything they do. The Manager called us the previous day to check what we like to have for our meals. Exceptional place and guests are treated with kindness and 5 star hospitality!
