It is difficult to put into words how much of a wonderful, special and warm / friendly place Nick and his Team have created in Buckingham Place. A hidden paradise down a dusty road, we were welcomed warmly and that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The accomodation and grounds were simply out of this world and...

At the end of the bumpy road, we finally got into a wonderful hidden gem Buckingham place. We received a warm lovely welcome(flower garland, and tasty juice)from Nick's staff. The room we were in has a spectacular view of breath taking panorama lagoon. The room is huge(especially the restroom with the big bathtub and opened-roof shower area) , decorated with...

I’m very proud this morning to read your wonderful review and to know that Buckingham Place has left you all with great memories of your visit to Sri Lanka.
You’ll hopefully be pleased to hear that our local authority is finally upgrading the bumpy road. So, that when you return (?) you’ll be able to access the hotel more easily...

After a long drive from the airport, we received a lovely welcome to Buckingham Place which made the journey worthwhile. The room was enourmous with great style and a good view over the nearby lagoon.
The beach was a very short walk away and absolutely stunning! My wife and I agreed it was easily in the top 5 beaches we've...

Nick Buckinham's imaginative and bold enterprise works on all levels. Amazingly peaceful yet amazingly modern. Secluded but not isolated. Brilliant food. Great character (including Ginger, the divine Tsunami rescue pony who wanders the garden as if a guest)..... and great value.

After reading so many excellent reviews here on Tripadvisor, we had very high expectations for the hotel and overall environment of the place. All of them were met - and some of them even exceeded :-) The rooms are very spacious, perfectly clean and tastefully decorated, staff is very friendly and helpful, food is absolutely great, territory of the hotel...

Returning to Ukraine and minus 30 degrees must have been an awful shock, and therefore I’m deeply touched and highly appreciative that in spite off excessively cold weather back home you have made time to write magnificently about your stay with us. Again I apologise for my inability to speak even a few words of Russian – even my staff...

If you are thinking of booking this place... don't hesitate. It really is as good as the reviews suggest. If you are after somewhere wonderfully relaxed, beautifully run, and with amazing service, then do it... On arrival we knew we wanted to stay longer and instantly booked an additional night.
The rooms are huge with great views. The food is...

Thank you very much for your extremely positive review, I’m delighted that you had such a lovely time and have recommended Buckingham Place on TripAdvisor. From time to time I worry somewhat that such great reviews may raise expectation levels a little too high but all the same, I can’t thank you enough for your kind support.
Your respect for...

Provided the most wonderful stay here in Sri Lanka. The staff and the environment was breath-taking. Made our stay absolutely perfect!

Sincere thanks for your TripAdvisor review, though shorter than many it is nonetheless sweet and certainly concise! I’m delighted of course that you have taken the time to write it and although you’ve given me little clue as to its origin I believe you were here for just a couple of nights (?) which makes it all the more poignant...

We had a great time at this hotel. Location is great --away, but not too isolated-- from more touristed places.
Service is always present, without being intrusive.
Our room was bigger than the apartment where we live back home. Decoration is modern and trendy, but not of the kind that tries too hard.
We can only praise Nick and his...

Thank you for your valued review of this hotel and its hard working team. Thanks also for your generous praise for me personally.
Your liking for our location is very pleasing as I believe this is by far our biggest asset - it was the very reason I chose to build a hotel and live here. I can honestly say...

Buckingham Place is not full of lavish 5 star opulence – it's better. With a designer eye, the place has been put together with attention to detail and, what seems to be a quest for creating the perfect escape. Modernist design with artistic flair – from the diagonal lines of glass in the cement floor to the open air shower...

I’m not so sure about making the Queen jealous but it’s a highly amusing thought!
Many thanks for reviewing Buckingham Place so eloquently, we’re delighted that you’ve been so lavish with your praise. What I find particularly rewarding is that you’ve noticed much of the detailing that was deliberated and battled over with architects and contractors during construction – it’s...

My wife and I stayed here for five nights at the end of our honeymoon. After a hectic 10 days travelling around Sri Lanka, we had been looking forward to a well-deserved rest in a relaxing and comfortable environment, and we were not disappointed. Nick has created a unique oasis with gorgeous buildings in a beautiful setting. The beach next...
