Reviews of Sapphire Garden Hotel

Dinner was great!

Aircon in 2 of the 3 rooms we booked wasn't working properly and the room stayed very warm throughout the night. Had a very uncomfortable night's sleep with both the fan and Aircon on. Toilet smelled of damp, and the open window without a net allowed all sorts of insects into the toilet. Shower head looked really old and yellowed.

Very helpful owners who were happy to help with any requests. Delicious dinner (homemade curries) available upon request for a reasonable price.

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Sapphire Garden, the rooms were spacious and clean with good air con. The rest of the property is truly lovely, with nice trees and plants surrounding you… We loved sitting out in the dining area in the evenings, playing games and had the delicious dinner every night. It was really relaxing. Breakfast was also excellent, with really good fresh bread - which was unusual to find on our trip! Wanda sorted our laundry for us within a day, very helpful. She is a lovely person and makes you feel at home. We stayed in a variety of places on our 2-week trip, all of them very good and varied price ranges, and this was definitely one of my favourites. The pool was very also lovely and very refreshing

Not a dislike, but my only suggestion would be some cushions for the pool loungers.

LOVED our stay at Sapphire Garden!!! Wanda is a super lovely, chatty and friendly host who was extremely helpful and also super chilled. She gave you the options of eating in or Dining out, various different excursions and let you take your time and decide what you want to do - nothing was pushy at all. We slept so well and felt so relaxed. The room was spacious, and the real treat was HOT water !!! The swimming pool was an absolute delight. We used it daily before or after activities and we were lucky to basically have it to ourselves once or twice. We had dinner the first night and it was delicious- a variety of different curries. Breakfast was also plentiful and tasty. Whatever you needed, Wanda and the team were always around to help out.

The property is well located, clean and comfortable. The pool and spa were great and relaxing.

Nothing

Nice and small resort on the Edge of the jungle. Large room, nice bathroom. The A/C and fan working good. Nice and tasty food. Friendly and profesjonal hosts.

Lovely pool, rooms very clean, modern and comfortable with excellent A/C. Gardens with plenty of birds which were fun to watch.

The Hotel is located in a very spacious location. We got one of the newer rooms. The hosts Lieyon & Wanda are very helpful. Explained everything you need to know at the check in. We had dinner one night and was tasty. Breakfast was very good, with fruits and vegetables and a curry. Fruit juice and a choice of Tea or Coffee. The pool has a jacuzzi which was excellent to help you relax after a busy day.

Great location meaning that with four nights and three full days you can see everything around the area. Wanda and Leo are brilliant hosts that sort everything for you. Breakfast was lovely and the evening food they offer is freshly cooked and always delicious. Cannot recommend enough!

Nothing

Breakfast including accomodating to my glutenfree diet, despite it not being their standard to offer sri lankan breakfast, flowers on the balcony, athmosphere in the restaurant, the service, the bed.

I felt slight initial resistance to feedback (non functioning aircon, industrial lighting in the room, accidic pool, mediocre safari equipment and guide). Although some feedback was handled adequately eventually, and they had actively requested feedback, I was confused by the resistance I felt in their responses. Overall the host are very helpful and accomodating.

Fabulous stay at Sapphire Garden Hotel! Wanda and Leo were wonderful hosts and couldn't have been more helpful! We felt right at home. The breakfast was amazing, as were the curries for dinner. We loved being surrounded by nature and relaxing by the pool. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. We can't wait to come back one day!

We cannot fault anything :)

We loved this stay: nice modern rooms with a terrace where you can listen to the singing of the morning birds, super friendly service, excellent breakfast with fresh fruit, beautiful pool area and garden. Wanda and Leo took us around to excursions and gave us great travel tips. Go here and you will enjoy!

Excellent hosts. Very good evening meal and breakfast. Lovely pool, relaxing and one to be recommended. Attracts very friendly guests from worldwide.

Nothing really but perhaps the shower could have been a bit hotter and a kettle put in the room.

We booked Sapphire Garden Hotel very last minute for a one night stay and our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! The location is truly idyllic - right in the middle of the rainforest and we loved the outdoor pool. Swimming at sunset amongst all the greenery and nature was a real highlight. The dinner was easily one of the best ones we tried in Sri Lanka too - and each curry was really unusual but delicious. Like other reviewers have stated, Wanda and Leo are truly amazing hosts. They couldn’t have been more welcoming and were super helpful, friendly and accommodating - while also creating a really relaxed environment. It truly felt like a home from home :) Anna & Kostas

Breakfast with a good variety. Leo and Wanda are very welcoming. They make us feel like family. They know very well the region giving excellent tips. Spacious room with comfortable beds.

Our favourite place in 3 weeks of travel, Wanda and Leo are such great hosts, amazing food , safari and location, thankyou so much, also accomodation for our driver an extra bonus

Nothing

Wanda and Leo are awesome hosts! They are so kind and the place is so lovely, quite and natural. One of the best place in sri lanka! :)

The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food was excellent, particularly the evening meal. The room and facilities were what you would expect for the price.

The room wasn’t serviced daily.

Very nice hosts, loved chatting with Wanda and Leo om the evenings! Amazing food, the curries for dinners were the best we ever had. The location is right in the jungle, so we made friends with gekkos and squirrels. A great stay!

Nothing.

Very welcoming hosts and good hospitality. Good value for money. Great location for seeing Sigirya, Dambulla and Anaradhapura.

Best to be accessed by car, otherwise would've been very hard to find.

We had a delightful stay at this small family-run hotel. Leo and Wanda clearly have a tremendous amount of warmth and experience, as well as local knowledge. They made us feel very welcome, and their catering (both breakfast and dinners) was excellent.

A heads up that this is a little way out of the main Habarana town (however, it is easily accessible by tuk tuk).

It was the best place in our 2 weeks holidays in Sri Lanka. Great owners, Wanda and Leo, great place in green nature, many interesting places to visit max 1 hour from Habarana. The best breakfasts we had there. We ate every evening dinners there and that was the best curry dishes we had during holidays. Swimming pool, great ajurweda massages in neighbour. Wanda and Leo helped us to arrange everything and we spent together nice evenings! Highly recommend!
