The place was nice and clean but what really stood out was the staff. They always stopped to visit when walking by and genuinely wanted to ensure we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely stay here again!

We booked at the last minute, but I don’t regret it. The room is huge, the bed is excellent, and it’s clean with a great view. The pool is also nice. There were small issues, like the bathroom being under renovation with markings on the tiles, or the mini fridge squeezed into a cabinet so tight that the door barely opened. Despite these, it was the best accommodation I’ve had in Sri Lanka.

Mapakada Village is a beautiful hotel, tucked away from the regular tourist route - but it’s well worth heading here. It’s set against a stunning lake, where you can do various activities and wildlife spotting. The grounds are beautifully kept, and the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. I’d especially recommend the superior double, which looks out to the lake and the pool. We actually stayed at Mapakada Village a little by accident, during a storm - and we were so looked after, especially by Dinesh. He went above and beyond to help get us back to Negombo in time for our flight, actually driving us several hours himself, which was incredibly kind. Staying here for a couple of nights was exactly what we needed. Thanks so much!

Fantastic location one of our favourites in Sri La

Beautiful clean, spacious room. Comfortable bed and fantastic rain head shower. From our balcony we had the most amazing view over the lake. The staff are very attentive, Peter their maitre de gives the most professional service we have had since leaving Australia. The owners Kumudula and his wife Sulani (I hope I've spelt your names right) made us feel so welcome from the start. We drank tea with them and on our second day joined them for a trip on the lake in their boat. Fantastic sights to see in this area. Definitely recommend it as a tourist destination.

Nice resort in a very beautiful setting

Exellent resort right on the lake/dam side. We really enjoyed to chill out here for a 2 days break during our motorcycle ride in Sri lanka. Staff and and food were top notch. The resort offer a complimentary boat trip on the lake in the morning. The area is very peaceful as no boats with engines are allowed. The water is very clean and we saw no plastic or rubbish. The locals fish from small boats and from the shore. We saw many birds such as king fisher, white ibis and comorants on stilts with their wings spread out for drying in the sun. We had a room with a big balcony facing the dam and with a view towards the mountains in the horizon. I would recommend the rooms facing the lake for the fantastic view from the big balcony. The infinity edge pool got one of the best views you can imagine. From the pool we could see the lake surrounded by forrest and the montains in the background. The resort offers a trip to a national park in the area with many wild elephants and other wild life but unfortunately we were not able to join this because of our schedule. Exellent breakfast with choice of sri lankan and western dishes. One day we had a la carte breakfast and the 2nd day it was a buffet.

Hôtel pour une nuit seulement.

Chambre petite, sans aucun charme mais avec grand balcon donnant sur le lac. Côté restauration, les assises des chaises sont très tachées et malheureusement ça se remarque. Le diner pris à l'hôtel avec mon guide était correct mais longue attente pour le service. La présence du serveur qui attend pour débarrasser n'est pas agréable. Cet hôtel est de catégorie 2,5 étoiles et cela ne vaut vraiment pas plus. Les prix pratiqués dans cet établissement sont trop chers.
