This hotel is not well-known among Chinese tourists. I saw it by chance, and it turned out to be the most surprising hotel in the entire Sri Lanka trip! It is really small and exquisite, and all the layouts are very stylish. It is worthy of being the hotel where the Queen of England once stayed. Without mentioning other places, just one small detail, the hotel is by the lake, there are many wild animals such as monkeys and squirrels, but there is really no mosquito. It is extremely pleasant to sit by the lake and watch the sunset. From this detail, it can be seen that the hotel management has really worked hard~ The only thing is that the hotel wifi needs to be logged in again after a long time of non-use, which is a bit troublesome, but the speed is good~

The hotel has everything to be great but staff is not yet trained to deal with client. I had in this place the worst experience ever from the time I’ve arrived in the hotel. The receptionist was rude to me, we had to escalate the situation and then manager come to solve it but it totally messed our night with the reception misunderstanding.

The hotel is situated in a scenic location. The staff are very friendly, and the food is excellent, prepared to suit your own taste. The cocktails are exceptionally tasty. This is the perfect place to stay if you are visiting Polonnaruwa, as it is located very close to the ancient ruins. An excellent stay overall.

My sister and I stayed at EKHO Lake House for two nights and were blown away by the tranquillity and peaceful atmosphere. The hotel’s rich history, especially the Royal Suite, added a unique charm. We spent a lot of time at the hotel, simply because the view was so beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed a calming Ayurvedic massage in our room, which the hotel kindly arranged through a third party. The manager was also incredibly helpful, organizing a tuk-tuk tour of the ancient city, which allowed us to see many fascinating historical sites. The hotel's location is perfect and right at the heart of these sites The food was a nice mix of Asian and Western dishes, all fresh and delicious. The service was exceptional, especially from Arun, who made our stay even more enjoyable. His hospitality was outstanding and his cocktail-making skills are not to be missed! Particularly his Piña Colada! The pool and restaurant quickly became our favorite spots to unwind, especially with the wildlife around. I regularly spotted eagles, pelicans, beautiful butterflies, chipmunks and even an occasional toque macaque. If you are looking for a serene escape with great service and a convenient location, I highly recommend EKHO Lake House!

We loved everything about the Ekho Lake House. We stayed in the Royal Suite which was so worth it! It came with a private garden area and a hot tub. The lake views were so beautiful and relaxing. Also, we really enjoyed the food at the restaurant. If you want to try authentic Sri Lankan food, you should get the Rice and Curry dish. The live music during dinner was a plus. The staff was so friendly and the service was superb. Don't miss out on the sunset boat tour. We got to see some breath taking views! Overall, the best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka. Can't wait to come back!.
