TripAdvisor website posts travel information and rates independent guest reviews. This certificate is awarded to hospitality operators who have consistently received high ratings from their guests, which in turn reflects total guest satisfaction, based on what’s offered. By maintaining an overall high rating (max 5) the establishment is recognised for this Certificate of Excellence.

“It’s definitely an honour for St. Lachlan  to receive the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, which is one of the world’s largest travel websites, within a short period of one year in operation. I commend my team at St. Lachlan who has excelled in their work, which has recorded consistent high rating from our guests who enjoyed our hospitality. Online reviews guide other guests to decide on their stay and the guest ratings are an integral part of the global marketing concept,” said Harpo Gooneratne, MD of Harpo’s Hotels & Resorts.
