Sri LankaThe staff was excellent. The service at the restaurant by Sandaruwan was outstanding. We had the most amazing hopper breakfast. The rooms were comfortable, and all our needs were well taken care of.

GermanyKalu's Hideaway was a perfect launching pad for my Undawalawe safari, which the staff also organised for me upon my arrival. Somehow, I was the only guest at the property for my one night stay. The staff were attention to my every need, while also ensuring to leave me with my own space. The swimming pool was a great respite from the heat and humidity, and the property grounds were a delight to walk around. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and it wa great to learn that much of the produce was organically grown in the property's garden. And the icing on the cake - the great Sri Lankan cricketer Kalu's personal memorabilia on display in the property's mini-museum (if only he was there in person!).

United KingdomThe Hideaway more than exceeded our expectations! The wonderful staff went above and beyond to make our stay incredible - they gave us an upgrade on arrival to one of their deluxe suites which was gorgeous! The reception staff were more than happy to arrange everything for us for our safari. Delicious food, perfect location for the safari, great attention to detail and a very positive experience overall! 10/10 would recommend if you're planning on visiting Udawalawe!
