    Hard to say anything negative but the mosquito nets draped over made it a little uncomfortable to sleep rather than being fitted around the bed like other accommodations we have stayed in but this is me being SO picky. :)

    I don’t know where to begin! Firstly, the accommodation is unbelievable in the jungle with beautiful large (very comfy) beds and stone floors - I personally think it is even better than the pictures. But the best thing about this place is the hosting. Namanthi welcomed us with lovely drinks and cooked the most INCREDIBLE dinners that have been our best food in Sri Lanka yet. The family is so lovely and welcoming. Eranga was not there during our stay but he also was reachable on WhatsApp at all times with extremely quick responses and went above and BEYOND organising us two safaris at both Udawalawe and Yala as well as our transfer onto our next destination. He got this all done for us at a very good price and everything ran so smoothly he made our time here an absolute dream! Could not recommend this place enough ❤️

    All was amazing :)

    The owner was super caring, the location was beautiful, the room was clean and had really good conditions. You can have dinner at the hotel, where the family will cook a very tasty and local meal for you for a very fair price. The place is small and feels like home. We really really recommend this place as it was one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka!

    Stayed one night and it’s just absolutely stunning place, tucked away and one with nature. The owner and his wife were so friendly and the food was delicious. They arranged the safari for us at a reasonable price and was just such a great stay. Would highly recommend.

    Great stay in a wonderful location! At night, the animal sounds from the jungle are breathtaking. You really are in the middle of it all, but still safe. Host Eranga is super nice and incredibly helpful. The safari he organised was great. His wife cooked a wonderful dinner.

    Nothing really, it would be better with the AC, but I understand that it would be a waste of energy and money in the tent.

    What a beautiful place. We really enjoyed our stay there. The tent is very spacious, with a very comfy bed where we slept amazing well. Surrounded by nature, going to sleep after looking at the fireflies in the garden and waking up with the sounds of the birds... it doesn't get much better. Note that it's hot, there is a fan, but no AC... so it's very hot during the day, fine to sleep at night though. The family running the camping is wonderful, the food is INCREDIBLE!

    Magical place to stay, literally above a little river, we could see fireflies at night from above (not in the accommodation, from the window) and we fell asleep listening to the sounds of the jungle. Was such an amazing experience that we will never forget. There is also a great Sri Lankan restaurant next door- amazing food.

    Eranga and his family recieve and welcome us so well. The property has 2 luxury tents, comfy bed inside, clean toilet. We checked in on new year's eve, Eranga's wife put in a huge effort to cooked us a fantastic dinner. The next day we were surprised again by the breakfast after safari tour. This place totally exceeded our expectations.

    nothing to criticize

    everything was perfect! The food, the tent and the host family were all great! They also arranged a safari for us and a driver to our next hotel in Ella. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The tent was modern and very comfortable. The buffet in the evening was huge and we even got dessert. The safari was unforgettable and cheap compared to other safari tours in the area. Once we’re in Sri Lanka again, we will definitely come back. I 100% recommend this place and you should immediately book it!
