눀 – A very nice place to stay, a good view on a jungle from the room and breakfast place. By the way, breakfasts cooked by host's mom are extremely delicious and very generous, so we even took a little with us. Host is a very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate, he helped us to book a safari. And of course it is very close to go to safari from here, only 15 minutes in the car, which will take you from hotel (and host will give you some snacks to go). Important to say that wi-fi and shower are perfect, which is not so easy to find on Sri-Lanka. Would definitely recommend!

this is a wonderful small family run business. there are only a couple of chalets and everything is run by family members from the taxis, to the safari to the food. The chalet was lovely and clean, we loved the outdoor bathroom and how authentic it was. the food served by Sachith and his family was absolutely delicious and we ate like kings. if you love authentic home cooking you are in for a great experience! the safari was well organised and we had breakfast, provided by Sachith around the lake during the trip - more delicious Sri Lankan food! we also enjoyed a few cold lion beers before dinner, much appreciated. if you like to enjoy experiences away from the crowds and get to know the local people more then this is definitely the place to go. Sachith and his family were very welcoming, friendly and provided a great service.

    We just loved our stay at Hasthi Safari Cottage. Dasun is an extraordinarily friendly and lovely host. He helped us to arrange the arrival and departure to the hotel and even drove us to our next stop by himself. The atmosphere within his little paradise is fantastic. Also it's not far from the entrance of the Nationalpark and Dasun arranged a wonderful game drive for us as well. I would definitely recommend everyone to go there.

    If you are looking for a super familiar stay, good food and perfect service this is the place to be. When we arrived we got a quick tour of the village and got some free Icecream at the locals stay. The rooms are very clean and the safari is organized very well, you will get a super fair price not like other bookings. The food is 10/10 and super fresh. You can also book a cooking lesson.

    Nice and quiet homestay with a great host! Very nice and considerate host, who went out of his way to help us. He even drove us to the bus station on the last day, when we were late for the bus. The food was also nice, and because we had to go to a safari early in the morning he and his wife packed a picnic for us instead of breakfast. There were mosquito covers around the beds
