Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge

Super nice to stay for 4 nights. The tents are great and very nice, however, some might need a new zip-lock. The place is quiet and has a beautiful nature around. The road to the hotel is horrible and must be fixed, especially the last 3 km took our driver 30min. At last the food is okay. Sri Lanka chef making western food is a good enough, but not western food. The food prices are reasonable and there is a lot of different hiking tours to go with. The hotel is a long way from many places, so come and stay for a few days, but do not plan to many trips.

Masing place, With so much details. You feel how much this owner give importance to life and care . Congratulation Philippe. From the land with TEA everywhere, to the restaurant, and the service. NOTHING TO SAY than BRAVO. I'm so happy to discover place like that.

Had a wonderful stay here. What a special place! The views were amazing, the tents were a really unique and private experience. We did with Yoga with Sadaruwan which we would recommend to anyone staying here- it was splendid. Had a good massage, delicious food and a wonderful hike around the tea plantation.

The estate is even more stunning in real life. The tents were kitted out perfectly and large. The staff were excellent. We particularly enjoyed a two hour hike we did with a guide. He was very informative. If we had realised how amazing this place was we would have stayed an extra night (we only stayed for two nights). Our son loved running around the estate, swimming, playing games etc. It was not clear on some booking websites that the tents can facilitate an extra children's bed. The only thing we would change is the wine list. It is limited and not particularly interesting wine.

I went with my family as the second visit to this beautiful venue after 9 months. Sadly it was regretful. Prior booking was made with an advance payment for a family tent and a deluxe tent . However the resort was unaware of the reservation and we had to wait hour or so until the rooms are prepared. Instead of a family tent, 2 separate deluxe tents were arranged. Following inquiry about the tents and the charges adding more frustration, 4 of us had to move to a family tent after 2 hour stay in separate deluxe rooms. Nobody was there to guide or carry our baggages to the new room. We also had to ask for the new room key (came as picture attached below). Room arrangements were below par with a broken chair in balcony and ants filled kettle. Food quality was commendable despite exiguous restaurant service. One restaurant attendant attempted to trick us with a bogus extra bill. Deluxe room was attacked by monkeys during breakfast time which was acceptable but room service was again late to attendant until all 6 of us ended staying in the family tent. So 9/10 experience in first stay ended up in 5/10 in second visit. I hope restaurant management will go through review to arrange necessary adjustments.Indeed it is a marvellous location with exceptional panoramic view of mountain hills and tea estate.

Easily one of my favourite places in the whole Sri Lanka. The view of the Knuckles Mountain from up there is breathtaking, especially when you look at it from your own tent immersed in a tea plantation. The property is wonderful and also features many activities that you can do during your stay like hiking and visiting the nearby village and waterfalls. Very kind and welcoming staff and delicious food you can enjoy at the restaurant made our stay perfect.

Sleeping in this luxurious tent with an ncredible view of the Knuckles Mountain was priceless. The plantation lets you immerse in the tea culture of Sri Lanka, while enjoying the peace and quiet of the nature. I loved the elegant style of the property and the great food they serve at the restaurant. The staff was very nice and helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable.

What a magnificent location with glorious views. Even with the uncharacteristic rain for this time of year we loved our stay in the luxurious tent. The staff we so helpful and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed our guided walk through tea plantations and forest. And the pool has the best view!!

Amazing hotel! The staff was great, views were stunning (we never grew tired of it!) and the room/rent was extraordinary, wonderful to wake up to the view. The staff were very attentive and helped with everything, even a hospital visit was solved in and out within 30 minutes from the request. Breakfast was very good, ala carte menu was average. Very bumpy road to get up there though.
