Short but sweet stay at gabaa! We arrived in the evening to such a kind welcome. Drinks, answered questions, and got us to our stunning room. We ordered dinner which was delicious as well. Unfortunately didn’t have time to take advantage of the other amenities but it all looked beautiful and clean.

We really loved the hotel. It was an energising getaway for us and the treatment from the staff showed genuine hospitality. Much, much recommended, given the very fair price we paid.

We loved the stay, it's was beautiful we reached late to the property but they were around. They provided wet towel and flower as a warm welcome. The receptionist was really sweet and helpful. We forgot to ask for her name unfortunately. We stayed here, hired a two wheeler for Sigiriya and enjoyed every bit of it.

Maybe the weather was bad when we travelled or the place is overrated. Staff boys need proper training on hospitality and respecting hosts' privacy. Food was expensive but good.

We stayed here for a night and wish we could have stayed longer.. absolutely loved staying here . The rooms were clean and has a rustic feel. The staff were amazing. I would rate it 10* if I could . The location is great , tucked away from the hustle but close to town . You can get on a safari tour to see the elephants. Definitely will visit here again .

Un buon hotel
La camera è molto bella e tutta la struttura nel complesso è accogliente. Come pecca i prezzi richiesti per trasporti e spa sono molto alti per la media della località. La posizione e buona per visitare Habarana e sigiriya
