I had a great stay at Gabaa resort and spa. My room was lovely and very spacious. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, plus the food was delicious. I had a fantastic treatment in the spa and would highly recommend this stay to others!

Amazing Find

Amazing cottages tucked up in the woods. We found the staff to be friendly and the food (breakfast) was delicious. The rooms are new and modern. Will stay again.

little heaven in the jungle

We stayed here for a night and wish we could have stayed longer.. absolutely loved staying here . The rooms were clean and has a rustic feel. The staff were amazing. I would rate it 10* if I could . The location is great , tucked away from the hustle but close to town . You can get on a safari tour to see the elephants. Definitely will visit here again .

This hotel is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever been to. It’s so quiet and peaceful. The cabins are very clean and well furnished. The garden is amazing. The staff are so nice and the breakfast is delicious.
Rand, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

For western tourists, this cannot be described as “luxury”. It is a cabin in a nice wooded area with breakfast at 10 USD per person in reception. The pool is a plunge pool. The staff are nice and friendly. Some struggle with English. We were unfortunate and had torrential rain for a full day and a half. Couldn’t sleep because of the tin roof and there was no bar to retreat to. There’s not much to do if it’s raining in Habarana and there’s not even a tv in your cabin. If the weather was better it wouldn’t have been so bad. Had a spa treatment. 65 USD and nothing to write home about

10/10 Exceptional

This is a really chilled, small resort that is a great base for all the sight seeing and activities in the area. Rooms were big, clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Easy walk into the nearby village, there's a great market there some days.

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and welcoming stay

Very nice, quiet and friendly hotel with individual chalets. Located off the main road but within easy reach of restaurants along the road. The staff are very warm and welcoming and the restaurant food very nice. Very good value stay in all respects.
Andrew, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Unique beautiful house however service below par

Booked this resort as it was a last minute trip and most bigger hotels were booked out. It’s an amazing place, very good value for money for a unique partially-glass house with a nice semi-outdoor shower. Rooms are clean and mine had two beds. The environment is serene and peaceful and some time on the hammock was so relaxing. Overall I had no issues with the room and resort itself. However, I would point out the service is quite bad. I arrived late at night and the main receptionist wasn’t there but a gentleman met me and gave me tea and escorted me to the room however when I asked questions about Sigiriya and recommendations he wasn’t able to answer. I did interact with the reception through their WhatsApp number which helped but still some things were unable to be provided. I would still recommend this place as it’s unique and peaceful if you can deal with not-so-great service. This place would be incredible if the receptionist (who was great!) was there 24/7 or if they managed this better.

Short but sweet stay at gabaa! We arrived in the evening to such a kind welcome. Drinks, answered questions, and got us to our stunning room. We ordered dinner which was delicious as well. Unfortunately didn’t have time to take advantage of the other amenities but it all looked beautiful and clean.
Annika, 1-night trip

We really loved the hotel. It was an energising getaway for us and the treatment from the staff showed genuine hospitality. Much, much recommended, given the very fair price we paid.

La camera è molto bella e tutta la struttura nel complesso è accogliente. Come pecca i prezzi richiesti per trasporti e spa sono molto alti per la media della località. La posizione e buona per visitare Habarana e sigiriya

We loved the stay, it's was beautiful we reached late to the property but they were around. They provided wet towel and flower as a warm welcome. The receptionist was really sweet and helpful. We forgot to ask for her name unfortunately. We stayed here, hired a two wheeler for Sigiriya and enjoyed every bit of it.
