Rooms are rustic but comfortable. Some have their own porch to sit on. The setting is like being in a forest and the people are exceedingly welcoming and nice. There is a nice communal area to cook and sit together and share

We stayed for one night in the camp ground with our RV. It is a wonderful place with a nice ambience. We met some volunteer travelers from Europe and there is a relaxed vibe about the place. We stayed on site with our 3 young adult kids and used the lounge area and the laundry. Showers were hot. Staff were friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Lidwala is a beautifully green and tropical place to stay. The rooms are very comfortable but it’s the staff and their friendly welcome that make this such a special place to stay. The new restaurant is a great addition and we will certainly be back.

Pros: - Comfortable and spacious rooms with modern bathroom facilities - Property is well maintained and scenic, including a stream that runs next to all the chalets - Big kitchen area to prepare your own meals OR a fantastic restaurant on the property Areas to improve: - Wifi is almost nonexistent once you're past the reception area - The prices that the women at reception/tourist desk quote are wildly inaccurate (for attractions and taxi rides) so be prepared with more cash than what they say

We knew right away that this was where we wanted to spend our couples' getaway. It was a nice, tranquil environment with romantic suites, lovely garden views, and exceptional service. The natural stream that passes through the lodge made a soothing and calming sound throughout our stay. There's also hiking, which we'll return to do. One recommendation is to improve the WiFi service.

This small gem of a hostel/hotel is situated in a botanical wonderland. We can afford the large chain hotels but always choose Lidwala as it is so pleasant. There is a new restaurant nearby so now one does not have to drive anywhere once settled in. Very friendly staff as well.
