We stayed here on the first night of our Sri Lankan holiday, merely based on the proximity to the airport. We were not expecting much based on the previous reviews, so were pleasantly surprised when we were shown to our bungalow. It was 2 huge rooms and a bathroom in the middle. The bedroom was air conditioned as well as... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights before flying out of Sri Lanka. It is close to the airport and so is an easy ride no matter what time your flight. Despite that we didn't rate it high on location as there is very little available in the little village (so others with a shorter stay might not mind... More

We were reluctant to book Tamarind Tree but were pleasantly surprised by the bungalow room, sitting/dining room with separated bed- and bathrooms. The suite was large and clean and while the furniture perhaps not trendy it was quite sufficient and the bed very comfortable. The porch seats allowed us to sit outside when it started to rain. Based on the... More

We stayed at the Tamarind Hotel for one night and it was a disappointing stay. The room was very run down, with no supplies in the room, including bath towels! We had a couple of hand towels which we had to make do. The breakfast Buffett was another disappointment. Hardly any choice except for basics. The staff were rude in... More

We needed a hotel near Colombo airport after a late night flight arrival. We booked a villa at the Tamarind Tree Hotel and paid USD160 in advance. We also booked an airport transfer for USD20. We were met at the airport, but no vehicle was then available. Finally, a decreipt old van appeared for the short trip to the hotel.... More

The Tamarind Tree Hotel, is a 10 minute drive, from the airport of Sri Lanka, near the city Ngombo. Four-star hotel, perfectly suitable for those who had flown in Sri Lanka and want to rest the first night, instead of starting right away on a trip or for those looking for a place to stay and organize before you fly...

Good job the bedroom had A/C as the lounge was like an oven. Large spacious bungalow room, very clean if functional. Restaurant had usual buffet but with chef cooking if you were lucky and didn't mind a long queue. Use this hotel for a convenient location very near the airport but don't stay longer. Staff are very good in the... More

This is a wonderful alternative to the typical "Taj" or "Ramada" style airport hotel. There are two bungalows to each little bungalow-complex (I think), each having its own verandah with two wooden/rattan chairs. The rooms were oldish but clean, only showers (with plenty hot water but less pressure), and sitting area with an older style TV, dining table, cupboard, etc.... More

Stayed here just for 1 night and after a long flight. Literally a 10min drive from airport. Room was spacious but could do with a bit of modernising. We had a large sitting area which overlooked the gardens which was nice. Lovely pool. Food was nice. More
