When looking at booking this hotel you should ask yourself, are you the kind of person who likes to do absolutely nothing or the kind of person who likes to get out and about to see the country you've come to.

I spent 2 weeks in Sri Lanka the majority of the time at the Kani Lanka apart from 4 days of excursions. It is a very beautiful hotel and extremely romantic. Food was varied and opened my eyes to some fab new dishes out there. I cannot recommend the beach boys enough if you want to get out and see... more

hotel looks nice but it is in a very isolated location with only 1 restaurant and 2 shops within walking distance. This is NOT a touristy area and there is nothing to see in the local town, Kalutara. The weather was terrible when we were there - 10 days of torrential rain at all times of the day and apparently... more

We didn’t book any transfers with the travel company, we got the beach boy Jambo, to collect us from... more

We stayed at the KANI LANKA the last week in October. We arrived very early in the morning (best time to do the transfer to the hotel - only took us 1hr 40!!) and were welcomed by very friendly staff. We were given flower garlands, warm towels and a drink whilst checking in. Our luggage was delivered to our rooms... more

It was a comedy of errors from the time we booked the place to the time we left.
