What a beautiful gem of a boutique hotel nestled on a hill surrounded by nature. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and spacious. It was tastefully designed and filled with personal touches such as books and beautiful photographs. The restaurant called The Dutch is superb. The daily breakfast menu was our favourite breakfast on this trip to Sri Lanka. The entire property is exceptional. We can’t wait to return.
The pool & view is spectacular.

Hands down the prettiest avocado on toast.

Room was excellent, food & drinks were great, staff exceptionally friendly and curteous. Hotel is a little remote, but that's the appeal - 20 min walk into the local town / beach, and 10 minute Tuktuk back up the hill. (Usually LKR 500 - £1.25 or thereabouts)

Beautiful hotel with great food

Great hotel in a fantastic location in nature but not far from the beaches. The view is amazing and palm trees with monkeys jumping around is just beautiful. The infinity pool offers nice views and and the hotel area is small. The food was excellent. The chef was very helpful in finding gluten free options and the food was delicious. Highly recommend a stop at this place.

I had a really wonderful time at Tabula Rasa. Felt like the staff couldn’t do enough to ensure my stay was perfect. The location is stunning. It is worth being located up hill in the peace and quiet, and so easy to pop out in a tuk tuk. The food was really good, I expected to eat out more but, I’d often crave the chef’s dhal! I was able to eat really good plant based meals without getting bored of the menu. The chef would come out to chat, and was very keen to ensure I enjoyed the food. All of the staff make you feel part of the family and nothing was too much trouble. They organised a driver for my longer trips, and a tuk driver who was perfect for getting into local towns or the beach. I had a plunge pool room which was worth the extra. Relaxing out there, with an endless view of the jungle, the ocean in the distance, and monkeys leaping from the trees is pure heaven. The monkeys even enjoyed coconuts above my sun lounger one morning. I have no doubt I will return!

This is a beautiful property nestled inside the jungle on a mountain slope and we had stunning views of the ocean from our plunge pool suite. However, the food was atrociously bad. They had limited menu, which is alright but the quality was horrible. The included breakfast was made to order, when my wife ordered pancakes, they brought us cold pancakes prepared much earlier. Same with the fresh cut fruits. Next day we went outside for breakfast as we had our own vehicle. We wanted to utilize the Spa service and asked them the day before. They don't have any inhouse staff for spa. But they couldn't arrange anyone from outside. Imagine, they have "Spa" in their name! The wifi was a bit patchy. We didn't utilize the pool(it is a small pool) as it was raining most of the time during our stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is awesome. The rooms are well designed and at a high quality standard (e.g. marble tiles in the bathroom. Bidet..) Bungalow with sea view - unbeatable. The location is not directly at the beach, but at an elevated location inside a forest area. So the view is incredible and super quiet. No street noise or smoke. Instead one can enjoy nature sound, birds, butterflies, some monekys climbing the trees and sometimes leguans and view at the sea the same time.The staff is very friendly. The owners/managers are very friendly and attentively, caring about every little detail and having an open ear on any suggestions or wishes. Even after check out the owner spent time to give us suggestions and recommendation for our further trip on the island. Clear recommendation if the above said appeals. We only booked one night at the beginning, but then extended for one more night - 3 times in a row.
