From the hotel one has a beautiful view over a lake, a nature reserve and mountains in the distance. Mr. Tharanga Bandara, the Operations Manager is continually "on the ball": during meals he is present in the restaurant, during check-out in the reception area. And he gave us excellent service in arranging a chauffeured car to take us on a sightseeing tour while driving us to our next destination. The hotel was build some 5 years ago, so essentially a new facility. Maintenance is good as all equipment worked to satisfaction. The room was spacy with Airco in good condition, ceiling fan, TV, electric water-kettle with tea/coffee and bottled water, excellent bathroom with warm/cold water, good shower with enough water-pressure . Clean, nice beds, etc. Balcony overviewing the lake. Western breakfast was available as well as western food for dinner though we enjoyed the butter fried cuttle fish and fried rice for dinner. And, not to forget, a nice swimming pool to relax at and enjoy a swim.

This is not a complaint but jokingly we like to mention that the monkeys chasing each other over the "hot tin roof" over our heads beat our alarm clock by 15 minutes in the morning. At times the WiFi was not functioning very well, but after some young people checked out, we had an excellent WiFi connection. Apparently the functioning of the WiFi is dependent on the number of users going on-line at the same time.

The room was spacious, bed was comfortable and the room had the amenities needed. All the staff is very courteous and attentive, and special mention should be made about Mr. Tharanga the Operations Manager and Mr. Prabhath the Front office supervisor who served us well. The staff's service was excellent. They have a restaurant and the food we tried were tasty and the prices also seemed reasonable. Though it is not located directly next to the lake, but on the other side of the road, the lake could be seen from the room and the breeze/wind was very soothing in the evening.

The pool was being renovated so we did not have access to the pool. So pls check with the hotel before you book whether the pool is available.

We booked a room with a view that looked over the lake and mountains, it was stunning and would really recommend getting a room with a view if you are booking here. We used the free bikes available to explore the local area and cycled round the lake whilst the sun set. The pool was clean and refreshing. We ate dinner and breakfast in the hotel and both were good. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The room was really big and the air con was great and stayed on even when you weren't in the room so when you came back it was cold.

We stayed here to cycle around the ruins in Polonnaruwa but it turns out they were quite a ride away, I think about 13km which in the heat would have been too much for us so we had to drive there and rent bikes when we got there. We did manage to use the free bikes in the hotel later in the day to cycle round the lake though.

Clean and nice! Service was good, food also good!

They provided very personal service, when you arrive, they give you a juice, asked what time you would like to eat, what are you eating, you can order everything at the front desk, then go to your room, take a shower or whatever you want, and go to eat, rooms are big, fresh ,clean and with a balcony, WiFi is working well, 8/10 i could even do some work. Location is by the road, so very easy to find.

Nothing to say, only remember, don’t leave nothing on the balcony, monkeys.. are following you.. 😃

The staff at Agbo went out of their way to make sure that the guests were happy at all times. The room was comfortable, with a good outlook They organised two excursions (ancient site and elephant safari) and a departing car for us Pool was lovely and well maintained Good breakfast, with lovely helpful girl serving us

Not much It is a tuk tuk ride to other restaurants etc

Loved this hotel so much. Rooms were so spacious, with all amenities. Breakfast was so tasty. Fantastic view of the lake from our room.

The only thing, I could fault was the tiles in the shower became dangerously slippery when wet. Maybe the tiles surface could be roughed up a bit or a non slip mat could be placed on the tiles . Otherwise can't fault this beautiful hotel.

The service was superb: some things went wrong on the first night (as they do) and management instantlty sent a team of people to sort everything out, which they did. The room was huge and very comfortable with a lovely view. The pool looked beautiful but unfortuntaely it rained while we were there so we didn't get to use it. The food and service int he restaurant were top class.

Lack of hot water.

Loved our stay here. and the evening view is to die for. Staff is very friendly and smiling and always try to help. Food is also very tasty, and you can reserve a safari from the hotel itself. Pool is very large and can be classified as an infinity pool. Would recommend staying here.

Just loved this property. Huge rooms overlooking fields with monkeys and squirrels around and frangipani trees. A delightful restful place to stay after a busy day sightseeing. Lovely pool meticulously clean and incredibly helpful staff. Great breakfast.
