It was all great

This is the best accommodation we had in Sr Lanka. It is all brand new, clean and modern. The views from the balcony at the back was over fields of sugar cane where you can hear lots of birds including the peacocks. As it is situated next to the National Park, sometimes elephants can be spotted just across the road. There is a great menu and the restaurant is nicely cooled to enjoy your meal and drinks. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The manager, Hiran was so helpful and even arranged a tuk tuk for us to go the the nearest ATM. Thank you Ali Weta

The room was very big, modern and very clean! Pool was very well maintained. The manager of the property made us feel very welcome and took care of us in an excellent way. Food was also amazing and freshly cooked.

The food was ok, slightly bland in taste and not warm enough, also it took 2h 30min to prepare.

The staff were exceptionally kind, and very open and flexible to add an extra bed into our room. The pool was amazing and, to add to that, the location was breathtaking with nature basically on the doorstep: an elephant across the road. This guesthouse also offered a beautiful and stunning safari trip.

Wow! Its new, its clean, its great! Would definately come back. Rooms were huge and comfy. Pool was clean and just perfect. Its very close to the entrance to the park, you can see elefants right just out from the hotel (even better experience than visiting the park hahah). We even had dinner there - it was ok. Plus great staff very helpful and welcoming.

Didn’t realise it took so long to get food but once you understand why you just make sure you let them know earlier so they can get the ingredients and make it - this will improve as it gets busier. There wasn’t anything else I didn’t like.

The room was huge and had a balcony overlooking sugar cane fields so quiet -you could watch the peacocks in the morning- lovely. Pool was a good size considering there were very few of us there as the second floor is not finished yet which is probably why we got it for such a good price. Food can take a while to arrive and it is a good idea to let them know what you want a couple of hours before you want to eat and they may have to go out to get the ingredients. I’m sure this will change as it gets a name for itself as facilities are great and they can put you in touch with a great young safari driver who was considerate to the animals and very interesting. This is a great location. If you visit the safari park I highly recommend the restaurant opposite it is the brain child of a famous Sri Lankan potter and you can see the pottery and eat the most amazing food. The restaurant design is also quite lovely - designed by the man himself. I would definitely get to this hotel for a couple of nights while they are building up their clientele again before it becomes the expensive hotel it will one day be. Cash only as they have to have so many years accounts to get a card machine. Well worth staying here while visiting the safari park and elephant orphanage. You can even see elephants from the front of the hotel on occasions as well.

Perfect location - 5 minutes from national park entrance. great host who really wants his guests to feel welcomed and taken care of. The food was fantastic, the pool was clean and there were not so many people staying there at that time,so it was quiet. Plus thing: there is one elephant coming really close to the hotel to feed,so you can see him from 1 meter distance :)

The hotel is close to the entrance to the national park, which is convenient if you book the morning safari. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The very friendly staff organised the safari for us, including breakfast pack. Our driver and guide, Dushan, was very good, kind and knowledgeable. Hotel and safari are highly recommended.

Great new place, clean, well equipped - kettle, hair dryier, balcony and great pool. We were with kids and they did not want to leave. In front of the hotel you can see wild elephants, if you have luck. Safari was also great!

The rooms were extra nice and the hotel was very close to the safari

Lovely large rooms that stay cool. With comfy beds, and nice private balconies. Everything clean and tidy, and in great condition. Excellent restaurant with a great menu. Lovely pool for sunbathing and a dip to cool down. The staff are excellent. Lovely to deal with and very professional. They also organised a safari for us that was brilliant, and great value.

Great location for a safari to Uda Walawe. Super friendly staff. Loved the food. Great breakfast. Room was great and brand new.

No Wi-Fi in our room and the Wi-Fi in the restaurant area was so slow you could barely use it, not a problem for us though. I would recommend not to organize an Udawalawe safari through the hotel but do it separately with a reputable company, as we were very unhappy with our „guide“ and overall organization. Safari started too late so there were a lot of people waiting for their entrance tickets at the gate with us at the back of the line. Our driver was very reckless, drove so close to the elephants that they got scared and ran away, he even hit one elephant on the head when it got too close to the vehicle. He failed to spot most of the animals, even the obvious ones right next to the road. He almost ran over a turtle which was walking in the middle of the road had my wife not screamed to stop. On top unfortunately he didn’t speak a word of English

Our room was very clean and you could see that it has been newly built. Very comfortable bed (we loved the pillows) and very well designed room features overall. The rice & curry was very good, breakfast was okay. Nice pool to cool off during the day

Nothing. It was all lovely 😊

Amazing rooms, well maintained pool, just what we needed after our bike ride. The view out back is stunning with peacocks in the sugar cane, and there are elephants out front. Perfect. But what pulls it all together is the manager. He's a lovely man, very helpful, and a complete star.

Food menu was limited because of our late arrival

Such good value for money. Perfect stop off hotel for visiting Udawale National Park. Hotel manager could not do enough for us. Room is what you’d expect in a very good hotel.

Meals have to be chosen early in advance because it takes quite long until kitchen is ready to serve.

Host organized a Safari trip. Welcome drinks at arrival. Rooms are really new and clean.
