We thoroughly enjoyed marvellous and stunning location.
Had comfortably furnished and beautiful room, it included a fireplace, an ironing set, and a dining area. The breakfasts were great with curry, bread so lightly toasted and dessert and all the staff was amicable! Location: the hotel was next to a stunning river, the Sri Lankan jungle and the nicely built restaurant and lounge.

Unique and impressive unit with a great view. AMAZINGLY NICE staff. Location adjacent to a nicely built restaurant and lounge by the riverside. Conveniently close to town and easily accessible by boat to explore the tropical jungle.

The location was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views of the river. Sleeping right next to the river was a unique and amazing experience. the family-run hotel made us feel welcome and accommodated our dietary needs. Plus, the proximity to water rafting made it convenient for adventure seekers like us.
the noise from the river was quite loud and might disturb light sleepers. the lack of air conditioning due to the open balcony could be uncomfortable, especially on hot days.

We were thrilled with our stay at the retreat. The location was incredible, with accommodation right on the river. Waking up each morning to the sound of the rushing water was truly magical. The staff at Rafters Retreat were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our family had an amazing time. They took us white water rafting, canyoning, and even arranged a thrilling zip line experience through the rainforest. The equipment provided was of high quality and well-maintained. We also appreciated the warm hospitality shown to us by the owner and the rest of the team. we highly recommend Rafters Retreat for an unforgettable adventure.

As party people, we loved the water canyoning and white water rafting trips. The staff was very accommodating and happy to book activities for us. The rooms were incredible, overlooking the river, and very clean. The homemade meals were amazing, the best we've had in Sri Lanka!
Felt like in a fairy, no reason to complain.
