We stayed at the Spice House for 5 days as part of a 3 week tour of Sri Lanka. Its well placed for easy walking to local restaurants, beaches and sights and the owner was able to arrange transport and guides to further afield locations.Breakfast was always more than ample and very tasty. Set well back from the road its very quiet.

This beautiful property is outstanding, you can watch the monkeys playing in the trees whilst having an amazing breakfast or swimming in the pool. Hosts Phil and Wathsala are fantastic and very helpful. The gardens are lovely and well looked after by an incredible friendly team. I would highly recommend this fantastic place to stay to anyone and would definitely stay here again.

We booked a Deluxe Double room for 5 nights but did not get the room we booked. We were given a family room and it was anything but Deluxe. The room was very basic (the sort of room we used to stay in when backpacking 20 years ago) and quite tired and scruffy looking (mouldy bathroom, stained and unhygienic looking seating area on the balcony). We were hugely disappointed and wish we'd booked somewhere else as it spoiled our trip. On a positive note, the pool area and gardens were beautiful and immaculately maintained.

Nice property but little bit “tired” house and would appreciate small refurbishment here and there. Garden and pool on the other hand was great and location upper on the hill was quiet despite tragic from main road. Pleasing breakfast. We were satisfied in overall with our stay.

Just like living in a beautiful home. Food was absolutely delicious and our hosts were very helpful and friendly. Close enough to eateries, beach and spas but tucked away from any hustle and bustle happening out on the road. We just loved walking back to the property each afternoon - it felt so peaceful. Thanks to Wathsala and Phil for having us!

Genuinely outstanding hotel. Stayed in the Ginger room and was blown away by the quality of both the rooms and the amenities. Phil and Wathsala were great hosts and we'll book the Spice House on our next trip to Sri Lanka for sure and will recommend to friends and family.
