Stunning hotel and our accommodation was perfect. Quiet, peaceful and private, just what we needed after 2 weeks travelling throughout Sri Lanka.

Additional activities proposed by the hotel are overpriced if compared to overall market price. At least this was my impression with Minneriya safari.

Amazing stay. Our butler Fabian was simply great, but also all the stuff was very welcoming and always available. Room was super, we were upgraded to the suite with private pool; all very clean, functional and spacious. Bar, restaurants, receptions; all was great but the big plus is really the contact with the nature you can experience in such a resort, is truly like a safari. We have seen huge lizard, elephant, hanuman monkeys etc. Simply the best stay in Sri Lanka.

Pool was reasonably small for the hotel size and if you don't have a pool in the villa.

Room was very nice and the hotel is v tranquil The naturist is very knowledgeable and did an excellent sustainability talk and night time safari. Our butler, Ruchira, was exceptional. Always looking out for us and looking after us. We felt really bad when we realised he didn't go to bed until we did and went on a night safari until 1am, but he was smiley, happy and personable.

Jetwing was absolutely sensational. We stayed as part of a Honeymoon trip and the staff took care of every detail with care & precision. So friendly, so comfortable. So relaxing.

Extraordinary property, the interactions with nature were fabulous- monkeys, peacocks, jungle foul… the suite was vast, the dining room elegant and the live music very pleasant. The library was a particular favorite to read overlooking the lake. The staff were phenomenal, especially Asith our butler, and Yesitha our naturalist. The elephant safari with Yesitha was a standout experience in the entire trip. The spa was also excellent, and having a beautiful, well equipped gym was much appreciated. The food is fabulous. This is a world class hotel.

The resort is put together beautifully. peaceful and perfectly blended with the natural surroundings. Our water dwelling was just stunning. The attention to detail and the room layout are awesome. The service was outstanding. A special thank you to Ravindra and Amila, who looked after us throughout our stay. It’s great to have a personal butler, but what made the experience really special was how genuinely they cared about making us feel at home. The guided tour of Sigiriya Rock and the elephant safari are well-organized, and the naturalists who joined us were knowledgeable and making the trips more than worthwhile. If you’re planning to do these kinds of trips, definitely go with a guide. The food was another highlight with attention to local dishes as well as international cuisine.

We didn't pre-order breakfast and felt the breakfast menu was a bit sparse. The breakfast itself was also disappointing compared to other Jetwing establishments.

A stunning location and a resort with a unique feel to it. We loved that the rooms are all tucked away among rice paddies, lily ponds, or open out onto the water body that teems with bird life, fish, and some crocs. We appreciated the nature-conscious philosophy of the hotel and their efforts to respect the wildlife of the area. The evening dining is very good, the rooms beautiful, spacious, and tasteful and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The heat is quite something so we really recommend the rooms with small plunge pools.

Very peaceful hotel. Beautiful common swimming pool. Eco conscious. Close encounters with animals in the property.

The staff did not speak English and it was very hard to communicate and did not proactively informed us of hotel activities, and complimentary massage.

Location and premises amazing, the room was very big and comfortable.

We booked a private Villa with private pool and jacuzi. It was as requested. There was a bit access to the street and people from one corner, but they managed to block it with a blanket for more privacy It’s expensive but worth the money

Great aesthetics and touch to the place, massage ladies can be better trained for better value for money.

I liked the property, the staff were gorgeous - and the location was quite stunning landscape. My feeling was the actual property was more 3/4 star - i think I was over priced for what it was. The staff were extremely sweet, but it was a bit chaotic for a 5 star hotel. Extremely slow service, but from very very lovely people. Lots of power cuts, card machines didn’t work, no yoga mats in the gym, no one to meet you at the gate - we came back from a sunset hike up Lion Rock, and we had to walk in the dark through the estate, which was not very well lit and there is a crocodile (and a wild elephant was roaming around scaring the locals say on our second night)

Compared to the price the room was a bit “old”, WiFi completely absent (in case of personal emergency)

The Wi-Fi connection is not good.

The hotel and the room are very nice and large. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The surroundings were stunning and calm. You could recover very well. The highlight was the crocodile we saw in the lake in the morning.

Continuity at meal times could be improved. On our first night we had a designated waiter who delivered an excellent service but the second day a large group had arrived which meant we lost a bit of contact with him and it became a bit disorganised and messy. Portion sizes at dinner could also be more even and restaurant could offer side dishes but that said, the food did taste amazing. It is worth knowing that the bathroom has slats that do not close so insects and frogs do get into the bathroom - but this didn’t bother us much. There is detailed information from the hotel about how to live with the wildlife.

This hotel is incredible and so different to anything we’ve experienced before. You feel like you’ve stepped into paradise the moment you arrive and with the nature and beautiful surroundings. It is a luxurious experience while still being rustic enough to feel like you are in nature. Most of the staff could not do enough for us, and we loved how easy it was to get a buggy to and from our room as the resort is quite big. The swimming pool was amazing and even with being so close to a lake (with a crocodile living in it!) we still felt very safe.
