Guest review

7.0

What I liked most was the beautifully maintained garden. The atmosphere was very relaxing and peaceful. There are only around five rooms, so most of the property is dedicated to gardens and open green space. The view overlooking the rice fields was even better than I expected. Although the staff may not have the polished professionalism of a large hotel, they were genuinely caring, attentive, and always did their best to accommodate guests' needs. Their warmth and hospitality made the stay especially enjoyable

What I didn’t like was probably related to the management side of the operation (from a distance, I assume). When I arrived, I had to wait outside for quite a long time. Despite calling and sending messages, no one came to open the gate. It seemed that the staff had only just received information about my booking at that point. Given the price I paid, this was quite an uncomfortable experience, especially since the property is located in a rather secluded area and can be difficult to find. It was not the kind of first impression I expected. I hope the management team will pay more attention to the guest arrival process, as it would be a shame for such a beautiful property with its excellent facilities and well-maintained grounds, to be let down by avoidable communication issues

A stunning colonial-style hotel in Sri Lanka with spacious rooms, delicious food, excellent service, and memorable perso

10.0

One of the best hotels we’ve stayed in! A beautiful colonial-style gem - quiet, elegant, and perfectly maintained. Spacious rooms, delicious food, and exceptionally friendly service made our stay special. The personalized tours to temples, beaches, as well as turtle watching and Yoga with Hemanthe were fantastic. Thanks to Asoka, our great tour guide and the whole Maya team. If you visit Sri Lanka, this hotel is highly recommended.

J’ai passé 3 nuits au Maya Tangalle. Tout etait parfait, la qualité du service, la très belle piscine, le jardin extraordinaire avec ses nombreux oiseaux, on vous installe même une table au milieu du jardin pour pouvoir prendre votre petit déjeuner au milieu des chants d’oiseaux. Une expérience incroyable que je recommande vivement Merci à toute l’équipe du Maya Tangalle

Tout etait absolument parfait

Heavenly stay in a country we have been visiting for years

10.0

We ended up staying at Maya as the hotel we had booked into had an issue with their water. What a sliding doors moment that proved to be !! We arrived at the hotel and immediately knew we had made the right decision. We had arrived in a heavenly place away from the throngs of tourists but not too far from other sites with exemplary service and truly outstanding food . The beautiful pool overlooked lush green paddy fields abundant with wildlife and we were utterly spoilt from the moment we awoke until lights out…. I am usually a little dubious when I see a 10 review and the photos possibly do not do the property justice…. Our one night stay has turned into three and although there is a huge world out there to explore we are already planing our return. All the staff are superb carefully supervised by the excellent Prasath

We truly love led everything
