We stayed there for 1 night.. We had a nice morning walk at the back side of the resort where u hv a nice lake though it... More

We stayed here for a few days and loved it. The lodge itself is a bit hard to find but worth it. We stayed in their beautiful cabins. They are simple but very clean and have all the amenities you'll need. We also used their pool to cool off during the hot afternoon. The best part of our stay was... More

The other corner was a joy to stay at. The most amazing service and such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The pool , so not that yukky blue, but natural looking and lovely to swim in. A great room up in the trees , for the family, with a huge verandah is worth the money if you are travelling with kids.... More

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had abroad. I loved the surroundings of this place. From the moment you walk over the bridge you know its going to be special. There are chalets complete with their very own balcony. I was thrilled to bits! The rooms were spotless. There was no TV but I thought that... More

We loved the Other Corner. The setting is quite beautiful and the cabin rooms are well appointed with a nice large bathroom and space to put your bags and clothes. The room was spotless. There was a mosquito net for sleeping. There is a very nice well maintained pool. We ate both dinner and breakfast and were delighted by the... More

I thought the setting of the hotel was great, but their attention to detail was not. By our third night I was pretty frustrated with the lack of service, bland food, etc. But for a night or two, the location was very peaceful, the room was fine, and the birds along the reservoir were amazing. Here were my main issues:... More

The wooden cabins are basic but comfortable. Fewer malarial mosquitos than on the coast. Not actually in the "jungle;" but in a small wooded area surrounded by rice paddies, the main road, a river & a "tank," which is basically a reservoir with limited swampland on its periphery. Despite this, rare birds may be spotted nearby. Some alluvial rainforest adjoins... More

I have been living in Sri Lanka for over a year and have been to this part of the island before. This was my first time staying at the Other Corner. It was recommended by friends who also live here. We were lucky enough to stay in one of the new rooms. It was clean, simple, and very comfortable. It... More

A previous reviewer said " looking for luxury and glamor than this is not the place to be" .... Excuse me? If you pay that much money (even high in european standards) it is supposed to be luxurious... In sum, the rooms are nice, staff is nice, there is a pool, the surroundings are ok, ...
