My stay at the resort was absolutely mind-blowing! The staff were super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable. The host's helper and his wife were absolute sweethearts, cooking together and taking me around in their tuk tuk to all the attractions I wanted to visit. The owner, Opul, had an amazing sense of humor and made me feel right at home. The resort itself was quiet and serene, with a beautiful garden where I could relax for hours. The location was a bit out of town, but it was perfect for a peaceful getaway. The accommodation was simple yet clean and comfortable, and I loved the opportunity to learn how to cook an authentic Sri Lankan meal. this place exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and hospitable retreat.

During our stay at Araliya Self Cooking Resort, we were impressed by the friendly and helpful staff. The accommodation, although simple, was clean and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the opportunity to participate in a cooking class and learn how to prepare a delicious Sri Lankan meal. The experience felt authentic and we appreciated the chance to cook our own dinner. The staff also offered us a tuk-tuk ride for a cheap fare to visit Pidurangala rock and other attractions. we felt welcomed and enjoyed our time at Araliya Self Cooking Resort.

The property had beautiful surroundings and the regular staff were really lovely, showing us fruit trees and herbs they grow there. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, providing a good value for money.
The WiFi strength was quite poor and the beds could have been more comfortable. However, considering the location, these were minor issues.

I absolutely loved the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of the hotel. The decoration had a charming traditional touch that made me feel at home. The general areas were beautifully maintained, with comfortable seating areas where I could relax and enjoy the tranquility. The hotel was also very accessible for senior people, with easy navigation and no stairs to climb. It was perfect for someone like me who enjoys a peaceful and stress-free vacation.
I would have loved to see more activities catered specifically towards senior people during my stay. It would have been nice to have some organized outings or relaxation programs tailored to our needs.

I loved how secluded and peaceful Araliya Self Cooking Resort was, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It gave me a true countryside experience, with monkeys, colorful butterflies, and locals going about their daily lives. The staff, especially Piyatissa, were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The cooking class, although I missed the initial session, was a highlight of my trip. The food at the resort was delicious, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this resort for a unique and memorable stay.
