Large pool and beautiful jungle setting. Good pool side areas with lots of shade.
Food at dinner was very tasty and good value.
The management agreed to room upgrade after the room we were given was not good. ( check whether your room has a balcony as the rooms in the 'block' do and those in the main building do not )
Playing pool before dinner
Great AC in the rooms
Good value safari driver arranged by the staff in the hotel ( tip. we paid the driver $40 for the driver, and bought tickets on arrival at the Udawalawe park entrance. you can pick up a local volunteer guide in the car park as you buy your tickets who can talk through the animals and park detail. we then tipped the guide around $10. The total for the 3 hour safari worked about $40 per person)

The room was HUGE, as was the bathroom. We had so much space, and a great view. A juice was provided on arrival which was a nice touch as well. The host was super helpful in organising a tuk tuk for us when we wanted to go visit our friends down the road. The location is only about a 5-10 minute drive from the park entrance, which is super convenient as well.

Udawalawe is an ELephant Safari park primarily and one would expect to see many elephants however pls inquire from your hotel prior booking because during the hot season you will not see elephants freely roaming around. also if there are too many vehicles entering it becomes too crowded.
If the days are hot and humid suggest not going in the morning you wont see animals

The restaurant has a great offer and good prices & the staff is so friendly and helpful! Of course we did a safari that was arranged by the hotel. Our drivers name is ravind and he did such a wonderful job, I would always recommend him. He was friendly, helpful and translated the animals name in his language. He did his best so we could spot a lot of different animals and of course a ton of elephants! We really enjoyed the time with him.

Perfect stay!
The location is quiet & the rooms are incredible. Very clean and comfortable: shower that works perfectly, comfortable bed, air conditioning.
I went on safari with the host and the value for money is unbeatable: 5h safari, all included (breakfast, entrance, etc.). It really met my expectations!
I can only recommend staying at wild park safari home stay

We stayed here to go to Udawalawe national park. It was a perfect location for it, situated about a ten minute drive away. The hotel can assist with organising the safari for you. We had the buffet dinner which was tasty and reasonably priced in comparison to some other hotels we stayed in. The staff were incredibly friendly and the hotel had very chilled vibes. We thought the noise from the jungle would keep us up at night but the room was silent. The bed was very comfy and we slept very well here.
· Our experience in best safari home stay was a total delight, we could not ask for more. The house is idilic, really clean and beautiful. The hotel is owned by ravindu and his family, and they make you feel like if you were at home. We had dinner and breakfast there, and everything was homemade and delicious. We arranged the safari around Uda Walawe with them, and it was a magnificent experience. Any request we made to them, they were glad to help us. We would 100% recommend our stay!
beautiful and unique designed bungalows. very cool to stay after a safari. pool was also very nice. it is not far from Udawalawe national park but might be slightly outside the normal 5 km distance that safari providers usually pick up from for free. not much farther outside of this range though and safaris can also be organized through the hotel directly instead. bathroom for each bungalow is very cool and unique and outside but not exposed you get a neat experience.
This is a hidden gem in the area. We travelled from Canada and decided to go by what other travellers had said and glad we stayed here. The staff found out it was our anniversary and went out of their way to decorate our room - a lovely touch. The place is clean, the room was pristine, the breakfast is good and the staff are excellent. The hotel has its own safari jeep and we organized everything with them, it was probably the best thing we did. We’d go back.
One of our friends recommended this place, and as he said, the place was great. The room was very clean and had all the amenities. Friendly staff and delicious food. The room is surrounded by trees and bushes. in the middle of the bush, birds singing all the time, and we even had a peacock fly right over us. We walked up to Udawalawe Dam to watch the sunset, and it was one of the best scenes we experienced in Sri Lanka. We’ll be back for sure.
Beautiful quiet place near Udawalawe park. We arrived at 11am and did the afternoon half day safari with lunch which was arranged by hotel. Safari was amazing and guide was really helpful. After Safari we had a lovely swim in the pool and dinner in the restaurant. Really nice quiet rooms with AC and powerful showers. Breakfast was really good and big portions. Was a great place to between ella and Marissa.
The hotel was above our expectations we really liked it here! We came here for the national park, first day on check in we surprisingly saw an elephant right outside the entrance! The hotel is close to the park.
The staff was so kind to us and so helpful. The rooms were clean and the hotel had a generator, so no trouble from the powercuts here in Sri Lanka!
We booked the Mansala Safari house to do a safari in Udawalawe National Park. The owner and his family are very friendly and helpful, they made sure you have everything you need. The homemade dinner was THE BEST dinner we had in our 2 week stay in Sri Lanka! The room had a nice balcony where we could sit, read and watch the monkey play in the garden.
We had a very nice memorable stay at the hotel.
This hotel has all what you need from a safari hotel at a good price:
• Very friendly staff
• Very nice swimming pool
• Good Sri Lankan village food and drinks with a smile
• Organized safari tours to see lots of elephants
• Clean comfortable rooms
• Beautiful lake next to the hotel
Absolutely wonderful experience with the manager Milan, I cannot rave enough about the service and food. Some of the best food we have had in Sri Lanka truly. They organized an incredible private safari for us which was life changing memorable. THANK YOU for everything you are doing to make your clients feel so comfortable and welcome
The rooms were large and comfortable. The dinner offered was great! Some of the best food we’ve had in Sri Lanka. We opted to have our safari and transfers from Ella and to Marissa organized by the stay and everything was perfect. The pool was nice and warm and you can watch the bats fly around at night from the pool.
The hotel is located perfectly at a lake close to the national park. The staff is awesome making the stay a unique experience - caring so much. Food is the best. You can also book a safari. English is very good and it was very enjoyable. 10/10 will do it again. Thanks again for the best experience ❤️
We had a very good stay here. The room was one of the best we have stayed at in Sri Lanka for a budget hotel. He organised a half day safari for us at a very good price. Recommended places to go and eat. Breakfast was really good. Highly recommend this place for your stay in Udawalawe
