    Couldn’t have wished for a better stay! This hotel is set in a truly serene location — every morning we woke to the gentle rush of a nearby stream, the cheerful songs of birds, and an otherwise blissful silence. Room was huge with AC, large bathroom incl. bathtub and a balcony with a breathtaking view. The culinary experience was just as memorable: from hearty Sri Lankan and Western breakfasts to an impressive variety of fish and meat dishes for lunch and dinner. Freshly squeezed juices and beautifully presented fruit platters added the perfect refreshing touch to every meal. The staff were an absolute dream — incredibly helpful, attentive, and offering impeccable service from start to finish including helping us to organise a kayaking trip. They made us feel genuinely cared for. We would recommend this place without hesitation — a perfect 10/10 experience!

    As typical in Sri Lanka - no gym available.

    This is a really special place. Beautifully designed rooms embedded in nature; we were upgraded to the river side lodge which was a treat and a very unique experience as it feels like you're in the middle of the jungle. Spa treatments are excellent, and so is the food (especially the Sri Lankan curry; all made with unique local produce). As other people have said here, the most amazing thing about Glenrock is the people. It is hard to put into words just how attentive they are. Nothing is too much! Dumi took us on a wonderful day trip which gave us a real feel for the area, and from this we learnt a lot about rural Sri Lankan life. When one of us didn't feel well, the care they provided was outstanding. All in all a wonderful experience and we'd love to come back here one day.

    It is quite remote and hard to get to, which means you either need to stay local or spend time in a car. It's not really possible to go anywhere else for food etc.

    Dear Madam, Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at The Glenrock. It’s wonderful to know that the riverside lodge, spa treatments, and locally inspired Sri Lankan cuisine made such a memorable impression. Your appreciation of our setting and the experience we strive to create—especially your kind words about our team and Dumi—means a great deal to us. As you noted, The Glenrock is nestled in a secluded natural setting, which contributes to the peaceful and immersive atmosphere many of our guests cherish. That said, we’d like to gently clarify for future travelers that we are only about 3 Kilometers from the No. 04 main road in Sri Lanka( A4 Colombo -Badulla highway) where many known restaurants offer additional dining options. Thank you once again for sharing your experience. We would be truly happy to welcome you back one day for another unforgettable stay. Warm regards, Asanka Chathuranga Manager & The Glenrock Team

    We loved the hospitality, the ambiance, the spa. The food was good but can be improved, tough meat and the river fish had too many bones. The staff kindly replaced it with chicken which was good but the hotel could improve on their cuisine. We loved staying on the river, but it does make a lot of noise.

    Property response:

    Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking your valuable time to make a beautiful review and provide some suggestions for certain improvements based on your experience during your stay with us. We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed our hospitality, ambience, and spa. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by your experience with some food. Your comments about meat( pork) and lake fish were taken seriously, and the management has already had a discussion with the chefs on how to improve. While we purchase only imported pork from one of the most reputed providers and have not had a previous complaint about it being tough, we are going to take up this matter with the trader and ensure only quality meat with right tenders is provided. Also, while lake fish is normally high in bones( and has a distinct flavor when prepared with bones intact, which is liked by most), our chefs are exploring the possibility of making available local lake fish fillet without bones, too to our future guests. Thank you again for helping us improve with your candid thoughts. We hope to welcome you back and want to give you an excellent food experience while the unique natural vibe will provide you with an unforgettable memories.

    A unique boutique hotel in a unique location. We stayed for three days, it was three days of absolute peace, relaxation and fantastic views. There are only mountains, rice fields and wildlife around. Giant squirrels came to us for breakfast while we tasted the best tea in the world. A wonderful, courteous, friendly team that treats guests like beloved relatives. They are ready to respond to any whim (guys, we miss you already). To get to the most stunning views, the hotel provides you with transportation. And there is also a Spa where you can get treatments in complete unity with nature. In short, we have loved this place forever.

    It’s just hard to get this place. But maybe it’s an advantage:)

    Such a wonderful place. It gives you a really authentic Sri Lankan experience - although you are staying in a nice room, you feel like you're in nature and at the same time, you're staying with family in a small village, taking part in their every day life. The village walking tour is highly recommended! We learned so much about the country just from that one activity alone. The staff are all wonderful, and you won't want to leave!

    Everything was great. The one minor issue is how long it takes to get food - but they are upfront about it, and recommend you to order a bit in advance. Not a big problem, and it forces you to slow down!

    TheGlenrock is a magical place for us, which is not only located in a beautiful jungle landscape, but also offers the best service - always with a big smile and the “we make it happen” attitude. No wish is left unfulfilled, everything is possible. The penthouse where we stayed offers a spectacular view, the large terrace is a wonderful place to sit, and a few floors below is the restaurant with really delicious cuisine. We often saw the chefs picking herbs and salads from their own garden. So: everything is fresh and delicious. Special thanks to Asanka, who really knows no problem and always finds a solution, Thusith, who looked after us so lovingly and took us on the most beautiful tours into the jungle, always in a good mood, and Nevika, the best masseur and yoga teacher (on the roof with a view in the morning).

    From the moment we booked at The Glenrock everything was superb. The hotel communicated with us before arrival to ask if we had any requirements and also to ensure we were clear where we were going so didn’t get lost. The location was idyllic and peaceful with access to waterfalls and walks nearby. The room was extremely comfortable and we were lucky enough to have direct access to the river from the balcony. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were attentive without being overbearing and everyone was so friendly. The eco effort put in by the hotel was excellent with glass water bottles and refillable glass shower gels and shampoos. The food was delicious and excellent portions with the breakfasts and curry in banana leaf particular highlights. We enjoyed the experience so much we decided to stay an extra night at the end of our trip :) Special mention to Asanka who was superb throughout and an absolute credit to the place, awesome guy and hopefully meet him again the next time we stay.

    Not so much didn’t like but minor points to make it even better. A slightly broader vegetarian option with protein would be welcome. They did not have the full range of drinks available but this could well have been because it was the off season. More for info, but if a strong WiFi connection is important then you will be struggling, it was ok for WhatsApp calls but did keep dropping out during then. That said it is a nature retreat so hopefully this isn’t too important!

    To feel at peace, calm and be one with nature - this is your place. Lovely modern, very comfortable accommodation & facilities. The location was stunningly beautiful surrounded by nature & centrally located for any activities, ie walk to the local village; not too far to drive to Waterfalls; we loved the morning Yoga; etc The staff incredibly knowledgeable; very friendly, kind, caring, accommodating, & professional. Loads of flexibility around dining, ie on the day of leaving we had to leave early for our train journey and we couldn’t do breakfast so the staff organised the most beautiful packed brunch for us to take with us for our train journey - we loved everything from the fresh sandwiches; gorgeous fruit and yummy pancakes. They were so incredibly kind and thoughtful and organised our transport to Haputale to ensure we got our train to Kandy. We will definitely 💯 be coming back as our stay was so comfortable and relaxing we didn’t want to leave. We cannot thank Asanka, Nilantha & Pradeep for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable.

    We loved it! This property was everything it said it would be and more.

    The facility is one thing but the staff, the complimentary aspects, the care and attention of everyone was fantastic. From the manager, to the driver, the restaurant staff, the chefs, everybody is kind, patient, hospitable and knowledgeable about the surroundings. It is a wonderful mix of comfortable stay with facilities and immersion into nature. The one hour massage, the yoga session, the tour in the village with the local guide were all extra perks that we enjoyed thoroughly. We even asked for traditional coconut pancakes for breakfast and the chefs prepared a delicious meal every time. They shared local snippets with us about the flora, fauna and culture of the region, we visited the temple and the rice fields, the school. The manager and the staff were always attentive with our needs and questions, they drove us and picked us up from the locations. We cannot recommend the place enough, truly! It's been the highlight of our three-week Sri Lanka trip so far. It is not just an accommodation, it's a story in itself 🙏♥️

    Location, the service of the staff were up to our expectations and the amenities were excellent. However we would suggest more varieties to be included in the three meals.

    The staff was amazing. They ensured my wife and I were very happy Let me first say how accomodating the staff was. The staff at Glenrock ensured that we were well taken care and went above and beyond with extras to ensure we were happy.  Lodging: The lodging was excellent, I slept very well in their comfortable bed and the ceiling fan with the AC was perfect.  Environment: The area and grounds offer a spectacular view from above and below, we did not want to leave, heard a few monkeys on our roof during the night. Food: The dinner was good and the breakfast was plentiful, they did not leave our side and ensured the breakfast on the river was done perfectly. They went out of their way to make us happy. Overall: My team,my wife and I loved "The Glenrock", we will stay again and stay longer next time. Thank you to the entire team
