Nice and calm place into the jungle. Really calm and so relaxing. Rooms are little bit old from inside. Needs more detailing in the room and there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms. Food is little bit above average. Most of the staff is friendly. They need to learn about flexibility and the chain of command. Nice pool they have and also really closely to all the relic places from hotel. Rates needs to adjusted according to the facilities they can provide. Overall my opinion is average good hotel.

I vsited here with my family good hotel but restaurant service must improved. Food are tasty....

This is a small scale hotel offering average quality rooms for a comparably lower price. Food is OK. Rooms are a bit old and may lack certain luxuries. Has a common pool. Quite surroundings with cool environment considering the heat in Anuradhapura. has a good reception hall

Lot of negative points that offset the positives

Positives
- Serene and calm environment
- Lots of space to walk and relax

Negatives
- Rooms are dated
- AC gave loud noise and not cooling properly at times
- Lost water to the room two times
- There was an issue with the flushing mechanism of the toilet. Had to remove the cover of the tank and close again each time this happened.
- Phone to the room went dead during the middle of our stay
- Food was tasteless and there was very little variety
- Service at the restaurant was really bad. It was quite understaffed. Had to wait at least 10 min after requesting something from the staff

Very clean place. Food was good. Not excellent. Staff was very efficient. Would recommend to anyone

Mobile phone of my friend's friend has missing in the hotel on 16/07/2018, duty manager said they dont have CCTV camera coverage in main lobby area , So please pay extra attention on your valuables when you stay at public area of the hotel.

A very beautiful hotel which is very nature-focused, with dozens of trees in the large hotel garden, along with many paths for walking. The staff members are also quite accommodating, and the food is excellent and has a great deal of variety. Definitely recommended if one is looking to stay in Anuradhapura for a holiday.

I have being coming here for the past 10 years on every month of June, their service is consistent and very personalized.
Staff is super friendly & food is superb.

Very nice setting. However hotel and rooms quite dated. Internet only in restaurant area and very very slow or not working

Wonderful place to stay. Nice foos and staff as well

Very cool natural place. Expensive place. But really nice place. Environment like a jungle. Shade every where.

Palm Garden Village is a beautiful hotel just off the main road surrounded by a forest and having a small lake. There are lodges for tenants with one lodge containing 2-3 rooms. The hotel itself gives an antique feeling with its beautiful design of a past era.

Environment - 5/5
The greatest aspect to this hotel is its environment which is quite and peaceful surrounded by the trees and giving you the feeling of being one with nature. There is a small lake alongside the hotel as well which apparently is frequented by Elephants.

Room - 1/5
The room was adequately sized for the triple bedroom that I stayed in. It had a rather big closet, a TV area with chairs and a mirror and a desk.
However there were several negatives for me in the room.
- The bathroom seemed clean but the commode had a big patch in it giving the appearance of it not being cleaned in a while which was a huge minus for me.
- The shower cubicle was so small that I felt claustrophobic just being in it.
- The AC made noise for a while, while I tried to get some sleep which was annoying.
- Privacy seemed very low since I could clearly hear what people outside of my room were talking about and I could hear the sound within when I was outside.

Entertainment - 2/5
A hotel is place to de-stress and enjoy taking a break from the normal routine of life and so entertainment is a huge factor in helping with it.
- A dip in the pool is something I always like to do while visiting a hotel but unfortunately, despite its big size and calming appearance the pool was not well maintained and prevented me from getting in.
- The TV had only 5 watchable channels and even none of the local channels were visible. When asked for help, the hotel mentioned they'd send someone but they never did.
- There is no Wi-Fi for the rooms but only in the restaurant which is understandable. However the cell reception within my room was terrible and did not even have 3G while outside of the room had 3G and 4G at times.
+ There is a billiard room that was present and available.
+ If you like you can have long quite walks among the trees and watch the occasional elephants that come by to the lake.

Food - 3/5
My food experience in this hotel stems from dinner and breakfast on a weekday.
- The dinner did not have much variety but had Sri Lankan cuisine as well as a semblance of a poor western cuisine. The fried rice was not up to standard.
+ The roasted lamb at dinner was however unbelievably good and almost drowned out the rest of the poor gastronomic experience.
+ The breakfast on the other hand was extremely well done having a great Sri Lankan as well as English breakfast.

Other
+ A big kudos to the garden maintenance staff who work tirelessly throughout the day who keeps the beautiful forest like garden maintained.
- There is a subtle difference in treatment of the locals and foreigners.

In conclusion, this hotel was a rather nice stay despite some of its glaring problems. My mother especially seemed pleased with the hotel due to its calming and peaceful nature. For me on the other hand, it was a little dull with having nothing much to do.
It's a nice hotel to stay if you are planning to stay for several days cut off from civilization somewhat and if you are a writer looking for a peaceful time, this would be a perfect place for you.

Nice and quite place

The most amazing and comfortable place I have ever been to, it's like staying in an ancient village

The hotel is situated in a large serene environment and has a chalets scattered around the property.
The staff are polite, courteous and very helpful.
At present extension work is being carried out but this is not in any way causing any inconvenience to the guests.
The spread of food for breakfast and dinner was really good and the set menu lunch also had options of Western along with rice and curry.
Overall a great hotel in Anuradhapura and is located a short drive from the prominent sites.
Tip: if you are lucky you can spot wild elephants at the tank located at the edge of property.

Nice hotel with swimming pool, spa and great restaurant.

Currently some contstructions going on. Rooms are okay. Food okay but not very good. Huge garden.

Very calm place and best for relaxation. Meals are also good.Eco friendly hotel.

Have been staying at this hotel for one weekend, every month, for 4 years. It is like our home away from home. Buffet breakfast is great. They often serve fresh, authentic wood fired pizza at night. The bar is well stocked.

.. Very Good! Excellent facilities

Good reception hall

Beautiful large rooms in the Deluxe area. Good pool & great buffet breakfast. Friendly staff.

Lovely place for nature lovers

Good place for visiting look like a historical site.

great place, for astay

Good place to hangout

Cool echo friendly 3 🌟 star hotel

With the jungle ambience, the setting is really great but the rooms are tired and the food is really quite inedible.

Best hotel in Anuradhapura

It is a Beautiful place for tourist, and the manager and staff takes care of the Tourist Guides and Drivers who visits there Hotel with there guest.

Very good condition. High class service. Get the experience.

Beautiful resort. Nice accommodations and friendly staff. Littlebit outside the city centre

We "only" had lunch here. Very delicious buffet (!!), spicy sri lankan food :-) Friendly service and good value for money!!

Location : Very good. Closer proximity to all key ‘Must See’ places.
Environment : Situated in a wooden area. 3 -4 Rooms are connected together and situated similar to college style settings. Very beautiful in the day time with seeing all greenery around you. You feel like in the forest. You will see harmless monkeys as well. Need to walk to the restaurant through the wooden area.
Issues :
• No lighting in the paths in the night. The day we were in it was raining and it was hard to walk without any lights…many puddles. Also hard to see the surrounding area and with monkeys running around visitors hesitant to walk. I informed the front desk reception on this issue. Seems like they are not interested to fix or they were helpless. Strange behavior.
• Food quality was not good. It is visible that they use coloring in “Welpenera Kenda”.
• Cats in the buffet area.

Overall the staff is ok they were trying their best to provide a quality service.

It's quite a nice place to stay at. The room service is a bit expensive but sure is worth it. During rainy seasons it is a tad bit muddy as there is a lot of greenery and trees but whole on whole it is a pleasent experience .
