Jetwing Kaduruketha

Incredible location, hospitable staff, and a concept you feel great supporting.

the view was exceptional. a true nature filled stay. my kids enjoyed it, and we left with our hearts filled with contentment.

the bathroom was open concept, it was lovely with sound of crickets and frogs, but the shower area could have had a shelter , in case if it rains we could still be able to take a shower.otherwise it was lovely.

Wonderful place ! Peaceful, close to nature. Lovely team and the hotel manager is extremely nice, staying very close to the customers and making sure everything is alright. For the runner, there is a nice path to run around the rice fields in the morning ;)

Nothing ! We had a great stay and it’s a good location to disconnect and recharge

Position, service, restaurant, architecture, pool, room bathroom.

Gorgeous location in the middle of paddy fields and forest lots of wild animals beautiful birds insects. Very serene and authentic place it’s has its unique charm. We had half board , Sri Lankan breakfast was outstanding and great dish selection for dinner ?️ lovely pool in front of the restaurant with shallow areas great for small kids

We haven’t had any introduction to the place, just before our departure we discovered their was a river unfortunately we had no more time to go explore it. Very little customer service it would be nice if someone could show us around and give a bit of guidance where to go and what to do.

Absolutely stunning setting with wild peacocks, lovely wildlife and a stunning pool. Very kind staff and we did a wonderful night walk with the naturalist which we loved, seeing flying squirrels and lots of frogs. Highly recommended!

The food and the service were amazing

This hotel is not good value for money. If you are visiting expecting 5star accommodation it is 3 at best for a 5 star price tag. The food and the service were amazing but the quality of the facilities in the room are very poor. The room has no walls, its wooden slats and netting, and all the netting has holes in it so the bugs are free to enter. A mosquito net was provided for the bed but then there’s no where to sit and the mosquito net was dirty, the blinds need a good wash and the bathroom was very grotty with a lot of mould on the floor. It is glamping with a hotel pool. It is an eco hotel and if it’s what you are expecting that’s fine but we paid a lot of money for this hotel and were extremely disappointed as it was sold as 5 star and we were on our honeymoon.

This place has been a great discovery on our visit to Sri Lanka, a place to remember. The landscape surrounded by mountains and rice fields, the sunset, the cabins, the very friendly and close staff, Nana (the restaurant manager) and the people who worked with him, the quietness and tranquility of the place. And especially the food, my husband and I are lovers of gastronomy and in this place we have enjoyed flavors, the quality of nearby and local food and a formidable chef. We had a massage at the Spa and it was really good. Although this experience would not have been the same without the attention and care of Saduni, her treatment, help and attention at all times were excellent as well as the ability to solve and manage when we needed it. She has been a great gift.

The mosquitos!!! ??

Amazing place in the middle of Tranqil nature. Beautiful arranged, beautiful little houses, amazing food, amazing staff that really understands to accommodate all your needs and which is also great with kids.You really get pampered. Also really do a spa treatment - also best one we had on our travel through Sri Lanka.

We had a sense of being in nature, we liked the eco credentials which were evident in the insect and bird life. The design and layout of the main area are in harmony with the land, and the slope. The staff -especially Dillani, Sanduna and Chef - were wonderful. Our driver - Tharindu Lakmal - was also a hero taking us to our next destination.

Nothing to dislike at all, we stayed only two nights and would have stayed longer but they were fully booked.

The staff were incredible, they did so much for us and treated us like family. The setting in nature was cool

The facilities were all a bit aged, I don’t think this property is well maintained. The toilet seat in our room came off whilst I was using it. The books in the library were sticky and dusty. The bed felt old. The cot of the baby was broken

Food was exceptional! The setting was so beautiful surrounded by rice paddy fields. Staff were really friendly too.

No fault of the hotel, but the music/chanting from the nearby temple was constant until about midnight which although authentic, did make for a less peaceful stay. The music could especially be heard in the rooms at night/morning (when we were in the room). Would be nice if the scrub directly in front of rooms were landscaped better to improve the view from the rooms.

Delicious food, excellent pool and great activities. Stunning views all over and very comfortable rooms.

The pool is gorgeous. The food is very good but the portions are ENORMOUS. The service staff is excellent, especially Faizal who was extremely helpful with advice and information.

The mosquitos! Also, I expected a more impressive spa in a property like this one.

The food served is a testament to this commitment, with many ingredients harvested directly from the property’s organic gardens.

Beautiful location with stunning views from the pool and restaurant. The staff were exceptional, especially the restaurant staff who were so friendly and helpful. The mosquito net worked fine and I didn’t there any issues with bugs in my room.

Although I knew the hotel was outside of Ella, I wasn’t aware that the cost of transport in this area is more than double what I was paying in other areas of Sri Lanka. I would organise transport to and from this hotel before you arrive as using the hotel’s taxi service is crazy expensive. The rooms also don’t look like the website, they’re very outdated and rundown. Rooms very dark as well. The outdoor shower was fine, but could use a bit of maintenance. Also curious as to what happens when it rains. People just can’t use the bathroom?

Liked everything…staff were brilliant, so helpful and caring. Our paddy view room was really lovely, comfortable bed and great bathroom. Pool was fantastic, 25m long and very clean and warm. We had half board and both breakfast and dinner were excellent. Loved the location, just wish we’d booked and extra night to explore the surrounding area.

The location, in a small village, away from the busyness of Ella was so relaxing. The environment was calm and peaceful (except the local temple chanting, which was lovely, just not peaceful ?). The food was the standout. Every dish was sublime and the service impeccable and knowledgeable.

amazing place surrounded by nature. great food. beautiful pool. but the best is the lovely team. thx for your warm welcome

that we stayed just one night :(

The location was lovely. Staff were great. Lovely pool

It said in the listing that they were built so that you didn't need air conditioning. That isn't the case in our opinion. We were absolutely melting and didn't get much sleep.On arrival we were in a lounge with a TV and boards promoting the environment and teaching veganism. We had to fill out a form with our food preferences and allergies to which we put vegan.When we went for dinner the menu was full of meat. Only one vegan option, Dahl, which we had for lunch and breakfast. My husband ended up with veggie burger and I had a tiny frozen margarita pizza. After bringing this to their attention they refunded the price of the burger and pizza but it doesn't really make up for lack of consideration. It was by far the most expensive hotel we have stayed in and to end up with frozen pizza in a world where veganism and healthy foods are important, this was totally unacceptable.I hope they rectify this quickly
