There are alot of ants and insects in the bathroom, and you can't leave the doors open for too long as mosquitoes will come in. The location of the hotel isn't the best either as theres nothing around. I would recommend staying here only for one night to visit Wilpattu National park. Even then the hotel is actually 20km away from Wilpattu.

The staff, especially Meneka, were incredible! They were very attentive and polite. The hotel rooms are big.

Our stay at Lavendish Wild was deeply disappointing, and we feel compelled to warn others — particularly women — about the experience we had. The male manager’s behaviour was nothing short of disgraceful. He was rude, arrogant, and openly misogynistic. During check-in, he blatantly belittled and spoke down to his female staff in front of us. He refused to acknowledge my female companion, directing all conversation exclusively toward me, simply because I am a man. It was uncomfortable, offensive, and completely unacceptable — especially in this day and age. His entire demeanour was smarmy and unlikable, leaving a very sour impression from the outset. His only redeeming action was helping us charge our electric tuk tuk, but even that came with an attempt to overcharge us — demanding double what other hotels had previously charged — and only backing down when we refused. The hotel itself is in poor condition. With serious maintenance and a complete cultural shift in leadership, it could be something special, but right now it falls well short. The atmosphere is strange and uninviting, adding to the overall discomfort of our stay. Breakfast was average at best. The only positive aspect was the kindness and professionalism of the other staff, especially Mairnika, who looked after our room with care and grace — despite clearly working under difficult and discouraging conditions. We would strongly advise against staying here. There are far better options closer to the Wilpattu park entrance, and none of them (we hope) tolerate the kind of backward, disrespectful behaviour we

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Lavendish Hotel, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel offers a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and a great atmosphere. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. Special thanks goes to Pradeep the manager of the property. One of the highlights of my stay was the beautiful ambiance and the peaceful surroundings, making it a perfect place to relax. The food was also fantastic, with a variety of delicious options to choose from. Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, Lavendish Hotel is a great choice for a comfortable and memorable stay. I highly recommend it!

We arrived at this 4-star resort with high expectations but were immediately disappointed. The reception was dirty, with mold on the ceiling. Our rooms were infested with cockroaches, bugs, and spiders, even on the bed. After calling the manager, we were moved to another room, which was still dirty, with stains, dust, and no hot water for showers. Breakfast was terrible—just omelets, a few slices of papaya, and coffee. Worse, our luggage got infested with white bugs from the old wooden furniture, spreading into our clothes and toiletries. The pool was green and full of worms, completely unusable. Despite all this, the manager, Praveen, refused to waive any charges and was very rude. We left after one night, losing half a day of sightseeing in Anuradhapura. We found a much cleaner, friendlier hotel for $30—avoid this place at all costs. It’s not worth 4 stars!

The staff (not the manager) is friendly
