to get started.

The room itself was very spacious and comfortable, and the setting beside the river makes it a very peaceful place to stay in. Since there's nothing much to do in Udawalawe at night, it's important to have a hotel that delivers superb hospitality, and the people at the hotel have certainly delivered. It was a great experience for me and my family, and we will definitely come again if we ever pass through the area.

Although we were here only one night so that we could go on the safari, it was by far our favorite hotel of our whole trip. We had a separate bungalow which quiet, super clean, comfortable bed, great bathroom and all around perfect. The restaurant was delicious as well. The staff was also super friendly. You could watch monkeys during the day and large fruit bats at night. Loved that they had toiletries in eco-friendly reusable bottles. Hotel arranged a jeep and driver for our evening safari. Could easily have stayed another night just to relax.

Shame the restaurant was closed (election) but the staff organised transport (for free) for us to get food.
Bathroom had both an indoor and outdoor shower. Air conditioning was functional and quiet. Staff was very helpful with organising the safari, which we did through the hotel and we enjoyed it. Pool was very nice and refreshing. Room was clean. would have stayed longer if there was now to do in the area

“Lovely Eliyanth”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights

Nothing really to dislike- they were doing building jobs when we were there- as it’s low season- but they were quiet and no bother at all- and once it’s finished it will be a brilliant find!
I had a lovely time at Eliyanth and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us when we changed our plans. Note that they have no alcohol here as many places in SL but it was a fun and short drive to the Wine Store in the local town to make a purchase- along with a delicious pineapple and passion fruit juice :) We went on a really lovely safari- a whole day so up early at 0540 which was fine. I opted for just fruit for breakfast stop as I don’t eat bread, and the cheese sandwiches didn’t look too appetising! Lunch (egg fried rice) made on a gas stove was delicious though We saw many elephant and saw the prints of leopard, many beautiful bee eaters, storks and peacocks and our driver was very nice. It’s very good value for a day out! Back to Eliyanth the beds were comfy and the showers great - really had a lovely time :)

The family room requires you to climb a ladder to get to two single mattresses in the loft. A bit difficult if you have a small children like I did, but it's ok of you have older children.
The room itself was very spacious and comfortable, and the setting beside the river makes it a very peaceful place to stay in.

The location is quite isolated so make sure you have any snacks/activities planned in advance. Payment is cash only, would be ideal if you could pay by card.
Huge, pristine bedrooms with large en-suite bathrooms. Nice balcony, beautiful view of the lake. Nice pool, not very deep but a good size. Friendly staff, very helpful when organising the Safari (we did this at the venue one day in advance) and taxi transfer to our next destination. Good food, the included breakfast was delicious. Lunch/dinner was also nice and at a reasonable price Great location for Safari at Udawalawe - the guide and driver were very informative and professional, I would highly recommend booking the safari through Eliyanth!

“The best basecamp”
- • Leisure trip

It could be improved the WiFi network signal and add a locker for the valuables in the room. Eventually add some games or books to share. Minor things.
We spent two night at Eliyanth and we really enjoyed the stay. Despite it is isolate and the area does not offer much more than the Safari our time has been a perfect balance of relax and adventure. The staff has been incredibly friendly and helpful lead by Agit. The internal resturant is practically the only option but is a very good option. We had the tuna and the curry and both were really satisfaing. They help us with the safari tour with a dedicate guide really skilfull and also help us to get a proper taxi for our next step. The room is very large and clean. Need to be careful to close all before darkness or you will need to fight with batterflies and bugs since you are literally surrounded by the jungle. We really enjoyed the pool and the quietness. Would be great to empower the WiFi eventually but I was anyway able to watch streaming contents. If you need a good Basecamp this is the place to be.

Hotel did not respond to any attempts at email communication before we booked. And it was difficult to understand the different room types online.
Gorgeous little hotel with lots of helpful staff. Pool is beautiful and enormous, despite lots of construction going on right next to it. Food in the restaurant was great and reasonably priced (both Sri Lankan and Western food).
