Disclaimer and copyright

5starhotels.lk is an independent hotel research directory. It is not the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority, another government body, a hotel, hotel group, travel agency, tour operator, or booking platform. A hotel’s inclusion does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or approval by that hotel or by a public authority.

The website is prepared from sources considered relevant at the time of research, including tourism information and official property or brand channels. We aim to identify and structure information carefully, but do not guarantee that every detail is complete, current, or free from error.

Classification, registration, licensing, ownership, branding, facilities, operating status, contact information, and hotel policies can change. “Officially classified” describes the evidence available for the property when reviewed; it is not a certification issued by 5starhotels.lk. Confirm time-sensitive or important facts directly with the hotel and, where relevant, the responsible authority.

5starhotels.lk does not accept reservations or payments and does not control room inventory, rates, offers, cancellation policies, or guest services. Content is provided for general travel research and is not legal, financial, safety, medical, or other professional advice.

Travel decisions remain the responsibility of the traveller. Check current entry rules, safety information, accessibility requirements, transport arrangements, and hotel terms with the appropriate provider before travelling or paying.

Links labelled as official are intended to direct visitors to the hotel, property, or brand channel identified during research. External websites are operated by third parties. We do not control their content, security, availability, privacy practices, transactions, or later URL changes, and a link does not create an endorsement or partnership.

Hotel photography displayed on this website is sourced, according to our records at the time of publication, from official hotel websites, official hotel or brand channels, or material supplied for the relevant property. We do not claim ownership of third-party hotel photography merely because it appears in the directory. Copyright and other rights remain with their respective owners.

An image can occasionally be changed at its source, attributed incorrectly, supplied in error, or associated with the wrong property. If you are a rights holder, hotel representative, photographer, or authorised agent and believe an image is unauthorised, incorrectly attributed, or attached to the wrong hotel, please request a review.

• Identify the hotel page and the specific image.
• Provide the page URL and, where possible, the image URL.
• Explain the issue and the correction or removal requested.
• Provide reasonable information showing your connection to the property, work, or rights holder.

Send the request to hello@5starhotels.lk. Sufficiently detailed requests will be reviewed, and material will be corrected, reattributed, or removed where appropriate.

Except for identified or recognisable third-party material, copyright in the website’s original editorial text, design, branding, and selection and arrangement of content belongs to 5starhotels.lk or the relevant contributor. You may link to public pages and use short quotations with clear attribution where permitted by law. Republishing substantial text, copying the directory at scale, or reproducing the site design requires prior written permission unless the law provides otherwise.

Hotel names, logos, brand names, and related marks belong to their respective owners. Their use identifies the relevant property and does not imply that the owner operates or endorses this directory.

Do not misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation, submit malicious requests, or use automated activity in a way that damages the service or unreasonably burdens its systems. Normal search-engine crawling and ordinary linking are not prohibited by this paragraph.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, 5starhotels.lk is not responsible for loss arising from reliance on outdated or incomplete directory information, decisions made through third-party websites, hotel acts or omissions, or interruption of this website. Nothing in this notice excludes a responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.

General factual corrections should follow the process on the contact page. These terms may be revised as the directory, its services, or legal requirements change. Continued use after an update is subject to the version published at this URL.
