Everything in our stay was perfect. The location of Kandalama lodge is great if you want to visit the Dambulla Cave Temple, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigirya and Pidurangala. The lodge is cleverly designed, and well maintained. The garden is a quiet oasis, peaceful and beautiful. We stayed in both the deluxe villa with the private pool and the “regular” rooms. We enjoyed both. The staff made our stay even better. I’ve never seen a manager, cook and helpers so attentive in my life. I rarely rate a stay a 10/10 but they deserve it.

This is a beautiful, relaxing property with lovely staff. Everything was very clean, the beds were comfy, and aircon worked well. We had 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners and they were all different. We tried a new fruit and new foods and the meals were very filling. The owner drove us around in his tuk tuk which was helpful as the house is quite far from town, not really walking distance in the heat. We enjoyed relaxing in the garden as there is plenty of places to sit and enjoy the nature and peacefulness.

We had a great stay at triangle! The hosts were super kind and took us around for surrounding sightseeings for a whole day. The food was absolutely delicious! The A/C stopped working and they called in an electrician to fix it instantly.

    The location of the farm was excellent, you will find yourself in places you would not come otherwise. Pradeep's place is very well maintained, we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and they were quite basic but that's what we wanted. If you are up for more luxury there are four new rooms which are all very modern and super clean! The farm is great and staff super friendly and helpful. It was a great way to get a peek in actual sri lankan culture. Would definitely recommend going here!

    Very clean and comfortable, the staff were smiley and friendly, willing to help where able. The location is ideal for access to the busy centre but far enough away that you don't have the noise that goes with it. The beautiful views made the already enjoyable and filling breakfast, even better. AC and fan worked well!
