Ekho Lake House Reviews

Excellent location, great service, and delicious food in this hotel!

The hotel has everything to be great but staff is not yet trained to deal with client. I had in this place the worst experience ever from the time I’ve arrived in the hotel. The receptionist was rude to me, we had to escalate the situation and then manager come to solve it but it totally messed our night with the reception misunderstanding.

This hotel is not well-known among Chinese tourists. I saw it by chance, and it turned out to be the most surprising hotel in the entire Sri Lanka trip! It is really small and exquisite, and all the layouts are very stylish. It is worthy of being the hotel where the Queen of England once stayed. Without mentioning other places, just one small detail, the hotel is by the lake, there are many wild animals such as monkeys and squirrels, but there is really no mosquito. It is extremely pleasant to sit by the lake and watch the sunset. From this detail, it can be seen that the hotel management has really worked hard~ The only thing is that the hotel wifi needs to be logged in again after a long time of non-use, which is a bit troublesome, but the speed is good~

Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good,

We loved everything about the Ekho Lake House. We stayed in the Royal Suite which was so worth it! It came with a private garden area and a hot tub. The lake views were so beautiful and relaxing. Also, we really enjoyed the food at the restaurant. If you want to try authentic Sri Lankan food, you should get the Rice and Curry dish. The live music during dinner was a plus. The staff was so friendly and the service was superb. Don't miss out on the sunset boat tour. We got to see some breath taking views! Overall, the best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka. Can't wait to come back!.

Our stay at EKHO Lake House Polonnaruwa was nothing short of magical. The serene lake views and lush surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure all our needs were met. Highly recommended!

Great hotel with a great view on the lake (even from the small pool). Rooms luxurious and spacious. Location couldn’t be better for visiting Polonnaruwa, almost next to the museum entrance. Meals very well, nice staff. Loved this place. Highly recommended if you are looking for a luxurious place.

We wished that we stayed a couple more days .The Hotel is on a beautiful Manmade ancient lake bund overlooking a sea of freashwater and mountains on the background ! Rooms are well furbished .Toilets were super clean . The Restaurant had an awesome 180 degree view on the lake and the food was also amazing ! They cook some great Fushion food ! The Staff were super helpful and attentive to all details . Would stay there if we go that way again for sure !

My sister and I stayed at EKHO Lake House for two nights and were blown away by the tranquillity and peaceful atmosphere. The hotel’s rich history, especially the Royal Suite, added a unique charm. We spent a lot of time at the hotel, simply because the view was so beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed a calming Ayurvedic massage in our room, which the hotel kindly arranged through a third party. The manager was also incredibly helpful, organizing a tuk-tuk tour of the ancient city, which allowed us to see many fascinating historical sites. The hotel's location is perfect and right at the heart of these sites The food was a nice mix of Asian and Western dishes, all fresh and delicious. The service was exceptional, especially from Arun, who made our stay even more enjoyable. His hospitality was outstanding and his cocktail-making skills are not to be missed! Particularly his Piña Colada! The pool and restaurant quickly became our favorite spots to unwind, especially with the wildlife around. I regularly spotted eagles, pelicans, beautiful butterflies, chipmunks and even an occasional toque macaque. If you are looking for a serene escape with great service and a convenient location, I highly recommend EKHO Lake House!

We had one of the best hotel experiences at EKHO Lake House Polonnaruwa. The location was stunning with mesmerising view of Prakrama Samudraya resovoir and scenic sunsets. The ambiance of the hotel is so relaxing and the rooms were comfortable and well maintained. We felt like home with the kind and helpful hotel staff and special thanks should be given to Mr. Arun. The food was delicious with great presentation and variety. Polonnaruwa ancient city was at walking distance to the hotel and we had relaxing strolls to the archeological sites with ease. I yearn to visit this place again with my family. We highly recommend this place to both local and foriegn tourists.

I had an incredible stay at EKHO Lake House Polonnaruwa! The property is breathtaking, with beautiful views of the lake and a serene atmosphere that made our stay unforgettable. A special mention goes to Mr. Nuwan, the manager, and his fantastic team, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and personalized service truly made us feel at home. From the delicious food to the well-maintained facilities, everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious escape. We can’t wait to return!

We had a supper stay in the Ekho Lake House. We had rooms in the King Parakramabahu Wing - v spacious, clean and overlooked the lake. The pool was great for an evening dip and the terrace perfect for drinks watching the sunset across the lake. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful - well located for all that the area has to offer.

Service had been wonderful, the people there are just great Will choin that hotel again when we are back to Sri Lanka. Good Food, calm place, wonderful landscape Around the hotel are so many places to visit, it's just spectacular. Saw many Elephants out there. Wonderful experience.

The hotel is located on the banks of a large lake. It is nicely furnished and the room very comfortable. The dinner and breakfast were very good and the live music very enjoyable. The best part: the flight of many hundreds of flying foxes over the lake at sunset. We were mesmerized for over half an hour.
