I have stayed here many times in the past (esp when living in SL) and it is always a pleasure. Fantastic food, service and attention, rooms and nearby excursions. September really is a very good time to come and there were even elephants on the dried lake at the back of the Lodge.

Good location for sightseeing, good size and comfortable room. Staff all very friendly and attentive but not intrusive. Although breakfast and dinner are both buffets the food was good quality and good variety.

A brilliant resort with great accommodations, fantastic services and lots of nature. Despite the resort being large, we did not feel it as the bungalows are nestled in a forest/jungle, around a lake. Their staff is very attentive and accommodating, their food is great and the facilities we used (mostly the pool and laundry) were great. Food selection is huge and most items were delicious. We were positively surprised to see that prices for dining (especially in-villa dining), drinks and laundry are all very competitive for the area. We used this location as a hub to explore the area, e.g. Sigiriya Lion Rock, Anuradhapura and others. For this it was perfect.

We stayed 5 nights in this beautiful hotel and enjoyed every second of it. Very relaxing, calm, peaceful nature. Our room had a spacious lake view and waking up to that view was amazing. Very big, deep and well maintained pool. Staff is extremely helpful. They served with a huge small and made our experience memorable. Special mention to Maneshi and Kasiya from the restaurant. They are amazing! Also special thanks to Chef Sadun for a lovely dessert surprise (coconut puding) and Thilinika who prepared egg benedict just specific to our daughter each day. Last but not least, thanks to Dulanjelee!

The site is awesome, lovely colonial style little houses next to the lake, massive pool the little one loved. Great central point for visiting surrounding sights. Great massage, good food for a buffet all-inclusive (not many restaurants around so we're glad we picked it). Monkey fun all around. Had an awesome time here, would come again.

We had a wonderful stay at Cinnamon Lodge Habarana. The resort is beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere surrounded by nature. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, and the overall facilities were excellent. The food was another highlight — delicious, with a great variety to choose from. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly loved the resort and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway. Overall, a great experience

The Cinnamon Lodge exudes a charming colonial ambiance and is perfectly integrated with the stunning natural environment. The tranquil pool area, with its playful monkeys, added a unique and authentic Sri Lankan touch to our experience. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality and variety of the buffet breakfast and lunch served in your restaurant. The extensive selection catered to all tastes, and the authentic Sri Lankan dishes were particularly delicious. The dessert spread, especially the fresh fruits, was also a delightful treat. A special mention must go to Lalith, our room butler. His attentiveness and dedication to meeting our every need were exceptional. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well-prepared for our excursions. His service truly enhanced our stay and made us feel incredibly well looked after. Cinnamon Lodge Habarana is a true gem, and it is the exceptional staff, like Lalith, that make it truly special. If we are fortunate enough to return to Habarana, we will undoubtedly choose to stay at Cinnamon Lodge again.

Facility: The resort is extensive, with accommodation spread across large land. We were lucky it was not fully occupied; otherwise, it would have been too crowdy and noisy. The time at the swimming pool was enjoyable, mainly because it was not very busy. Location: The resort is located away from the main street in a secluded place surrounded by nature. Nature aspect made this place enjoyable to stay in and experience. Food: Breakfast and dinner are served in the form of a buffet. A wide variety of dishes, all cooked with fantastic attention to detail and all delicious. Staff: All staff were amicable, helpful and friendly.

Cinnamon Lodge in Habarana is a very well known 5 star hotel in Sri Lanka belonging to the Cinnamon group of hotels (John Keells venture). The room standard is generally very good as a result. The suite that we stayed in was particularly excellent. The two standalone suites are located quite close to the Habarana lake. One gets sweeping views of the lake from the outside seating area. The huge hotel premises with long walking trails allow the guests to traverse the entire length and breadth of the land including the land shared with the adjoining Cinnamon Village. The room is well appointed, so is the elegant bathroom. The bathtub is most appropriately located inside the bathroom and is upmarket.The bed is plush. Additional seating provided in the form of sofas is comfortable too. Food served at the buffets is top quality and tasty. The staff including those at the reception were very friendly and helpful. It's a great hotel for bird watching and photography. There's a bird watching tree hut located in close proximity to the suites on the edge of the lake. If you would like to have a boat ride in the lake it's quite possible. A place one must not miss is the butterfly garden at the end of the hotel land. It's a paradise for butterfly photography.
