The staff's hospitality was top-notch — super helpful and attentive. Our room was not just tidy, but spacious enough for our family of four to spread out comfortably. And let's talk about the food — oh my, culinary heaven! Each bite was a delight, and we left with happy taste buds. But it's not just about what's inside; the surroundings are pure magic. Arika is nestled by the enchanting Dhambulla Oya, adding a touch of serenity to the stay. Plus, being close to Dhambulla city center and the famous cave temple was a huge bonus for exploration

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was spacious with a large comfortable bed, ensuring a good night’s sleep. The ambiance was quiet and cozy, which we truly appreciated. What stood out the most was the owner’s exceptional hospitality. He went above and beyond by driving us to the bus station and even flagged down a bus to take us to Kandy. Highly recommended!
Our only minor suggestion would be a more diverse breakfast selection. Nevertheless, highly recommended!

Nice place, really nice staff and the jewel in the crown was the cooking. We paid for half board and the food provided was excellent. It was far better than any restaurant that we went to in Sri Lanka and was up to 5* western standard cuisine (or better). Really not something we expected but were continually impressed with each meal.
Our room was very large - somewhat in need of maintenace and had a leaking AC unit which could not be fixed. Also issues with the water as one of bathrooms didn't have cold water so it was too hot.

The place was amazing such a great stay! we were welcomed with fresh cold watermelon juice. our room and shower were huge with plenty of space for our luggage and everything we brought with us. we had a great shower with lots of pressure and hot water and lots of light in the room. the outside pool is very inviting as well and we enjoyed spending the evening there as well as the afternoon after our hikes. the staff is very nice and welcoming. they prepared for us breakfast to go so we could take it on our early 6am hike, and they welcomed us back for us to shower before we checked out despite it being after our checkout. honestly this place treats guests very well and you feel that their intentions are that you are satisfied. we also had a great lunch before heading out and would have spent more time in their pool if we could. highly recommended
I would recommend bringing anti-mosquito gel and everything, its not really the hotels fault since this is the climate in sri lanka so bring these products with you everywhere

The property is very close to Dambulla, but still in a very quiet place surrounded by the nature. The room was big, comfortable and well designed and furnished. The food was excellent too and the people working there has been lovely! A shame we only spent one night there.
Nothing to complain about.
