This is the second time we stay at this place. Last year we came latenight, passed out, and went to visit the sinharaja forest early morning, and then left. So cant really say we can comment on that stay. But we went back this year and stayed for three days. it was dry season so the rooms werent damp at... more

We stayed here for one night to enable us to visit Sinharaja Rainforest early the next day and it is about 25 mins drive from the rainforest entrance. It was by far the most expensive of the dozen or so places we stayed throughout our 3 week tour, but we booked Boulder Garden for the unique experience and it didn't... more

I booked two nights at Boulder Gardens as a base to explore the Sinharaja rainforest. The huge boulders that give the hotel both its structure and focal points are indeed stunning, although they put the hotel in shadow. We had a fabulous room; clean, atmospheric, with everything you could wish for. Perhaps they pulled their socks up after the bad... more

A fantastic hotel, entered through a secret gap in the rock! Fantastic decor with a beautiful dining area. We visited in full on rainy season (apparently it was heavy even for the rain forest) and didn't leave the hotel for 3 days. The staff were amazingly courteous and helpful, the food was delicious and it was the best place I... more

We stayed at boulder garden during our honeymoon. The rooms and the dining area are extremely atmoshpehic being designed into and around the boulders - presumeably inspired by the rock fortress at Sigaria. It is beautifully designed and they did lots of little exra things for us because it was our honeymoon. We thoroughly reccomend it. more

We stayed with Boulder Garden in March. It was a lovely place, good food, special room, perfect location, nice & friendly staff. Visiting the rianforest was worthwhile. We booked in for 01 night and extended our stay for 03 nights. I would recommend anyone to visit this georgeous place. more

I thought from reading the recent reviews that my complaints following our stay last year had caused some change for the better, but clearly they could not sustain the good work. When we stayed our room was also grubby and our mosquito net had holes in. Whats more when we complained the staff made such hard work of replacing the... more

we booked this hotel for 2 nights of our honeymoon. after seeing their website and all the great hype we couldn't wait. when we got there the 1st problem was that the room was filthy. we paid out for one of the best rooms. the bath was full of dead bugs, the blind was actually rotten, the windows were filthy.... more

We have just returned from our holiday to Sri Lanka and spent two days at Boulder Garden, it was delightful. It is a beautiful setting, quite stunning and the walks/hikes from the hotel and in the rainforest are fantastic. Our room was great, lovely view to the trees and we had the monkeys keeping an eye on us! The new... more
