We loved the Lake surroundings and being able to eat next to and swim in the lake. The host was very attentive without being around too much. We could also book and go on a Jeep safari to the National Park directly with him. The safari was fantastic- we saw so many elephants. The room and shower was great for our needs- air con, fan, good bathroom, nice beds. We would have stayed longer if we had had more time. Highly recommended

Beautiful location on a small lake, great food, very friendly and helpful owners, small but clean rooms. And the owner Samantha is providing the best safari tours at Udawalawe National Park. Book an all-day tour with him, you will not regret it. We met many tourists doing a 4h tour starting in the early morning who haven’t seen a single elephant. We started later, but took our time and went deep into the park. At the end of the day we saw more than 50 elephants, 5 crocodiles and many other animals.

I was welcomed warmly by Ms. Mudi, she gave me some suggestions about what I could do close by, and later cooked the best Sri Lankan dinner I've had here. The breakfast was also good. The owner also took me on a safari, and gave a fair price. The room was spacious and clean, and plus points there was hot water and AC. I came because of a recommendation from a friend, and would definitely recommend the place to others in the future.

Very nice people there. Relaxed and I think the best safari tour because the guide knows to see the animals :-). Greetings to him!

We stayed here for one night and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon safari experience at Udawalawe national park with the host, who was both knowledgeable of the park and respectful of the animals which we appreciated. The room was clean and the dinner and breakfast provided were delicious. The lodge is set on a lake which offered another opportunity to spot the amazing local wildlife in the morning before we headed off.

Very nice place for doing a Safari. The host provided a great Safari just for us two and managed to show us the animals and nice places a bit of from the most other Safari groups. We enjoyed a sundowner beer on the balcony and a delicious breakfast in the garden at the lake. The hosts were really friendly. We had the a room with a balcony which we would recommend.

All good

The hosts were awesome. They are a married couple, the wife runs the hotel and provides lovely breakfast whereas the man does the safari. We arrived on very short notice but they still organized a safari for us the next morning. The safari is definitely recommendable. We got a full day safari with more than the usual showing of elephants but also a lot of explanations about birds, plants, crocodiles and a lot more for a reasonable price.

We did the 7 hour safari with the owner and it was very good. It was possible to take the bicycles for a ride to the city

The place was a great spot to stay for a night to do the safari, because the safaris organized here are just amazing. We had the best time with our guide who showed us all of the animals (not just elephants) even though it was raining a lot at fist. Highly recommend doing a safari with him. The accommodation is also nice by the lake, but a bit rustic. The food was great and we loved the little pavilion by the shore.

Highly recommended! Super friendly owner that helped us to organize the safari. The food was homemade and super tasty, the best dal I've ever had. Amazing value for money!

Me and a friend booked the room for one night to do a safari at the Udawalawe National Park and simultaneously booked the safari over the Lake View Lodge which worked really well. The communication went smooth and our host was so nice, polite and helpful. We were greeted personally and got some tea on arrival. The room was very clean and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for the very nice service, we will definitely recommend this place! Unfortunately it was raining heavily on the day of our arrival so we did not get to swim in the lake directly next to the lodge which our host mentioned on the next day! Additionally, our driver for the safari was really polite and nice!
