Guest：The staff were incredibly kind and abundantly helpful throughout our stay — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made a significant difference. The food was exceptional — Michelin?star quality. Significant, however, is the retreat’s confused identity — marketed as eco?luxury, but in reality far closer to an eco?lodge, with a few luxury touches and many rough edges. The property is over 20 years old, and this shows in both maintenance and overall finish. These issues have clearly been raised by previous guests, yet meaningful corrections do not appear to have been made, instead leaving frontline staff to manage potentially difficult conversations (especially about different beverage options). This feels less like oversight and more like a conscious failure to address known problems and to potentially deceive guests. On a human level, this is unfair to staff, who work tirelessly to make stays special. Management appeared chaotic, with little evidence of clear systems or processes. As guests, we were confused on what options were available to us during our stay. Overall: a serene setting with wonderful staff and exceptional dining, but ultimately overpriced for the level of polish, organisation, and transparency. Without significant correction to the business model and management approach, the current trajectory feels ill?fated — which would be a real tragedy, at the very least for the staff who work so hard and genuinely care about guests.
Guest：Beautiful natural setting with a peaceful, private feel. Our water chalet was spacious and scenic, and waking up to birds, lakes, and greenery was genuinely lovely. The grounds are tranquil and it’s a pleasant place to switch off after busy travel days. Prior to arrival, I contacted the hotel due to the concerns raised by previous guests. I was reassured that the website accurately reflected the experience. Unfortunately, this proved not to be true, immediately creating a sense of mismatched expectations. Despite what’s presented online and in the welcome information provided on arrival, there is no scope to consume anything other than bottled water — at odds with the eco?luxury positioning and further highlighting the gap between expectation and reality. The staff were incredibly kind and abundantly helpful throughout our stay — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made a significant difference. The food was exceptional — Michelin?star quality. Executive Chef Eranda, along with Chefs Isuru, Ishan, Nadun, and Kavindu, created meals comparable to experiences we’ve had at Michelin?rated restaurants. A genuine highlight.

Guest：Io e mia moglie abbiamo trascorso tre giorni in questo magnifico angolo di pace. La location è mozzafiato, la stanza che ci è stata assegnata (Kumbuk Chalet) ha le pareti interamente in vetro ed affaccia su un laghetto. Ci siamo trovati a passare le nostre giornate in mezzo a scoiattoli, pavoni reali, scimmie che venivano a fare capolino davanti alla nostra abitazione. Per raggiungere la stanza abbiamo quasi sempre usufruito del buggy guidato dai ragazzi dello staff. Questi sono stati un’altra perla del nostro soggiorno: educatissimi, sempre sorridenti ed attenti ci hanno aiutato a soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta. Infine, un economio per la cucina ed al suo direttore che ci ha sorpreso per colazione e cena con piatti perfettamente eseguiti e dal grande impiattamento. Assolutamente da provare.
Guest：I would like to share my wonderful experience at Kalundewa Retreat. From the moment I arrived, the security personnel were very friendly and guided me correctly, such a true gentleman at the entrance. The welcome to the hotel was also unique, something that only Kalundewa offers. I won’t describe it in detail, because it’s something everyone should experience for themselves. The team even helped me find a good place for my driver to stay, which was thoughtful and well arranged. Speaking about the retreat itself, it truly offers a different experience that brings you closer to nature. The property feels like a charming village surrounded by a beautiful agricultural environment. With over 100 acres filled with various plantations, every corner of Kalundewa is refreshing and scenic. To fully explore and appreciate the property, I believe at least a two-night stay is ideal. The rooms are spotless, and the private pool provides a calm and serene setting, perfect whether you’re staying with family or a partner. The staff are exceptionally friendly and their hospitality is remarkable. The food was both delicious and hygienic, and we even had the option to customize our menu by discussing it with the team. I would especially like to appreciate the chefs for preparing such delightful meals. Keep up the excellent work, team, and continue offering your outstanding hospitality. I highly recommend Kalundewa Retreat to anyone who loves nature or not loves.
