Outstanding property. Very quiet admist nature with river flowing nearby. Room was big and clean, jaccuzi was great and the food was delicious. But what stood out was the customer service of the people who work there. In all my travel I have never experienced such a customer service anywhere. Especially Asalanka and Dimender. They were soft spoken, clearly explained everything and was willing to help with anything. The people who work there is what makes the difference and is definitely a highlight of my Srilanka trip. Definitely Recommended 5 stars.

This is a beautiful hotel. We decided based on reviews to change our itinerary to stay at the Glenrock, bypassing some more popular places. We were very glad we did. The beauty of the environment, the quality of the food and most of all the friendliness of the Glenrock team made this a very memorable part of our Sril Lanka holiday. We couldn't recommend it more.

Fantastic Luxury retreat in Sri Lanka
We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Glenrock with our two children (11 and 8) this July. The setting is idyllic in amongst paddy fields, a beautiful river, exotic plants and trees and animals (chameleons, monkeys and birds). The modern room was great, really comfortable clean and spacious, had a large bathroom (including Jacuzzi!) and a balcony with lovely view overlooking the river valley. We chose half board and were not disappointed with the food which was generous and delicious - the staff even went out their way to make a birthday cake for us! The staff were wonderful, kind, attentive and knowledgable about the environment, advising walks and trips to go on including walks from the hotel and a short trip to a local swim hole where we swam in the river. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to escape and unwind in beautiful natural surroundings.

An absolute haven.
There are no words to describe this hotel! The service was amazing and staff were always smiling and eager to help. The food was good, the rooms were gorgeous, upgraded bathrooms were appreciated. This secluded hotel tucked away in nature has the most incredible location. Surrounded by wilderness, over a river, monkeys in the trees, deer in the woods, butterflies everywhere. Utterly blissful! Albeit a bit of a drive to get anywhere but on the other hand why would one want to go elsewhere? There's lots of good trails around the hotel/villages, massage treatments, worth spending a few days to simply drink in the views.

The lodge is set in a secluded mountain area overlooking the mountains so the view was fantastic. As it is a small lodge, we were well taken care by the staff. Great to be able to order our food and wait for a call from them to tell us when the food is ready. The rooms are nice and spacious.

Traumhafte Anlage im Regenwald
Unser Aufenthalt im Glenrock im Regenwald war einer der besten unseres Lebens. Die Anlage ist im top Zustand und eingebettet in schönster Natur. Umgeben von Reisfeldern, Hügeln, einer Flusslandschaft und dichtem Wald. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und liest dir alle Wünsche ab. Wir konnten mit ihnen spannende Gespräche führen und mehr von der Kultur aus Sri Lanka kennen lernen. Das Frühstück, Mittag oder Abendessen war stets ein Gedicht und perfekt abgestimmt. Wir erlebten sehr abwechslungsreiches Essen direkt aus dem Garten der Anlage oder aus nächster Umgebung. Die Cabana am Fluss war ein absolutes Highlight mit viel natürlichem Licht und warmen Holz. Die Nacht war sehr erholsam und Abends konnte man zuvor auf der Terrasse gemütlich den Geräuschen des Waldes lauschen. Dem Manager Iresh möchten wir gerne unseren Dank aussprechen. Die Gespräche mit ihm waren sehr offen und herzlich. Seine Arbeit macht diesen Ort ganz besonders. Auch Thusare möchten wir sehr danken, er lässt sich unendlich wohl fühlen. Wir sind dankbar dieses Eco Konzept abseits der Touristen Routen gefunden zu haben und werden bestimmt wiederkehren und viele Empfehlungen aussprechen.

Полное единение с природой
Потрясающий живописный отель у горной реки, в которой можно искупаться. Индивидуальное обслуживание, очень доброжелательный персонал. Неплохая отправная точка для поездок по центральной части острова, с удовольствием помогут организовать индивидуальный тур. Большой номер с панорамными окнами, ванная комната отделана деревом, что не даёт поддерживать ее в идеальной чистоте, это пожалуй единственный минус номера. Вкусные завтраки.
