My stay at Bellwood Hills Hotel was absolutely fantastic. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere was peaceful and luxurious, with stunning views from the room. The highlight of each day was definitely the breakfast – fresh, beautifully presented, and incredibly delicious. There was a wide variety to choose from, including local specialties, fresh fruits, pastries, and perfectly brewed coffee. It was the kind of breakfast that made you want to sit a little longer and just enjoy the moment. I would return in a heartbeat!

One thing to keep in mind about Bellwood Hills Hotel is its location – it’s perched high up on a mountain. Getting there can be a bit challenging, especially if you're not used to steep, winding roads. However, that’s also exactly what makes the place so special. Because of its elevation, the hotel offers breathtaking panoramic views that are absolutely worth the climb. Waking up to the sight of rolling hills and misty mornings was unforgettable – a true reward for the journey up.

Incredible service delivered by the hotel’s staff - big shoutout to Mr. Harsha for his proactive help arranging my transport and spa treatments. The scenery around the hotel is truly magical, a wonderful place to reconnect with nature. I really enjoyed my meals at the hotel’s restaurant. Although many previous reviews have mentioned the location being a bit further away from Kandy, this actually enhances the experience. The distance allows for daily trips to Kandy while offering a serene retreat that enriches the entire experience with a spiritual touch.

We were a family of 6 adults and 2 children that booked three rooms at Bellwood. I had initially booked the hotel for the stunning views it offers, unfortunately we stayed during a cyclone. Despite this we had an amazing stay at Bellwood and it has become one of my personal favourite hotels of our stay. The hotel is beautiful with lovely large bedrooms and very comfortable beds. The staff were extremely fun and couldn’t have been more helpful. The hotel is a an extra journey from Kandy but worth the extra travel for its quiet picturesque location. The journey to and from the hotel adds to the experience of visiting Sri Lanka

We stayed for 3 nights here. It was our first destination in Sri Lanka. We were mesmerised by the view it offered from room. The balcony with vast valley view is just perfect. Food : we had Sri Lankan rice and curry here for the first time. And we realise now it was the best meal we had in Sri Lanka. Excellent quality and value for money. Staff behaviour: really polite and always eager to help us. We had best time here. Room: it was a spacious , well decorated room with all amenities. The room was big enough and my daughter was running from one end to another. We loved our stay here.

There was nothing much to complaint about Maybe children play area with some slide, toys will add on.

Everything! The location, although quite a way out of Kandy, was perfect for us. Tucked away in the hills with beautiful views and stillness. We chose not to visit Kandy during our stay as we felt so relaxed and rested at Bellwood Hills. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a fabulous morning walk with Tharaka and we learned so much from him. Harsha was fabulous at making contact before our arrival, arranging transfers and anything else we needed. We were treated like royalty. The food, and restaurant views, were incredible, the waiters were so friendly and attentive. I cannot praise the hotel highly enough. We left feeling valued and rejuvenated ❤️ we will 100% return.

This isn’t a negative point but be mindful that Kandy is about 40 minutes by tuk tuk. DON’T let this put you off. Just plan your trip into Kandy mindfully, knowing you will come back to your accommodation for peace and tranquility.

The view is amazing. You will never have dinner with a better view! The staff is super friendly. I can not thank them enough 🤗. The food was excellent! Jacuzzi on the rooftop with breathtaking views over the valley.

It’s outside of Kandy so it will cost you 2000 rupees and about 30 minutes to go there. I was very happy to stay outside of Kandy as pollution is an issue in the center. The hotel is a bit dated. The gym is small. Overall it’s more like a 7/10 but the view and the value for money make it a 9/10 🤗

The property was breathtaking. Sat on top of a mountain about a 40 minute drive out of Kandy it’s an amazing experience just getting there. Upon arrival you are greeted by the most friendly staff who make you feel right at home from the start. Standout features are the hot tub and rooftop pool, as well as the stunning view from the restaurant. I ate the prawn curry for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. The staff are very professional but also are more than happy to have conversation and have a joke if you’re anything like me. The Spa treatment was a lovely way to relax in the morning, and Havsha (the man on reception) organised everything for us for whenever we needed it. Weather it was the Spa treatment, a Tuk Tuk tour of the surrounding area with a fantastic scenic lookout, or even organising us a driver to Columbo, he did it all with zero hesitation.

There is nothing that we didn’t like about the property, which is the honest truth, we couldn’t find a bad thing about the place if we tried!

The Resort is even better than the pictures! We checked in late in the evening and had a tasty Sri Lankan dinner. The room was spacious, well furnished and had a small clean balcony. The view of the tea gardens from the balcony were beautiful. They have a large swimming pool, gym and a hot tub at the terrace area which is open 24/7. Food was good, esp. the Sri Lankan dishes. The staff was really sweet and welcoming.

The location from the Kandy lake is a little far. It's not inconvenient but definitely does add 30 minutes of hilly drive.

Amazing place, luxury hotel in the hills above Kandy with their own tea plantation. If you are looking for tranquility and hospitality, to get away in nature with luxury, this is perfect place.It is bit out of the way, Uber works but not fully, so organise your transport in advance. Breakfast is rich, roof top pool is amazing, nice spa.

Food was cold or lukewarm at times.

The staff here are an absolute delight. Large rooms, all with a balcony overlooking stunning views. Comfy bed. They also arrange a tour of the things I wanted to do in Kandy. The jacuzzi was an absolute bonus and I had a very nice massage. Thankyou to the wonderful staff.

Just be aware that it is in a more remote area but I liked this 😆 A little bit of maintenance is needed.
