    A beautiful hotel and a beautiful room in a luxurious cabin with a bathroom. The location is very close to the safari park and they even offer safaris on site, we had a wonderful morning with our guide. They have a delicious restaurant right in the hotel. Highly recommended and amazing for the price!

    We stayed overnight and did the entire 4 hour safari, which we booked through the accommodation. We couldn't recommend this place more highly - our room was beautiful (the nicest we stayed in Sri Lanka) and the safari itself was great. Air conditioning, fridge, large bathroom etc. The food at our accommodation was incredible. The people here were absolutely wonderful and looked after us very well during our stay. We highly recommend staying at this place if you are visiting Udawalawe.

    We stayed in a new apartment for 2 people. There was plenty of space and we enjoyed the beautiful terrace. Ravidu and his family were great hosts and made us feel at home upon our arrival. They organized a great safari trip in Udawalawe National Park where we saw many elephants, hunting crocodiles and large groups of buffalo. Also, they prepared a wonderful dinner and a delicious breakfast.

    Wow! What a wonderful stay! We were offered a fresh coconut during the check-in process before being taken to our double room. The room was beautiful, the bed was comfortable, and the air conditioning was good. We had the chicken kottu, which was served with a delicious potato curry, something we had never tried before. This really elevated the meal. They also arranged for us to go on a safari the next morning! If you are going on a safari in Udawalawe National Park, stay here!

    Our stay here was exactly what we needed. We came to the area for a safari and had a great experience. The staff were very friendly, even prepared us a quick breakfast for the safari and arranged a tuk tuk for our departure. The room was large with 2 double beds and plenty of space. Highly recommended...

    My stay was wonderful. He is a great host who makes sure you are comfortable and is very helpful in arranging anything you need, for example transfers to/from his villa. The safari he organised was amazing, the driver/guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the dinner and breakfast at his place (cooked by his mother) were delicious. When I return to Sri Lanka, I will definitely plan to come back and stay again!

    This property is very close to Udawalawe Park and the owner offers safari tours with breakfast at a very good price! The breakfast was quite good and very satisfying. The room we were given was big enough to accommodate 4 people (two beds and two bathrooms). What really made this place special was the owner. He was a very kind and helpful person.

    We stayed here for one night for a safari organized by the host. We also paid for dinner and lunch cooked by his mother, delicious! I definitely recommend it. The safari experience was also very good, our driver was knowledgeable about the animals and birds we saw. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Nothing to complain about.

    Quiet enough to get a good night's sleep (which you'll need if you're doing an early morning safari). The pool is clean and modern. The room has a remote control fan and a mosquito net. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and Saji went out of his way to make it the best it could be.

    We chose to stay at this property because of the good reviews and it was a great decision. The entire property was really clean and well maintained. The free breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of it! So was the rice curry! They arranged an afternoon safari for us as soon as we got there for a good price and it was amazing, the driver was so knowledgeable. Our best stay in Sri Lanka. This is 100% guaranteed.

    Very friendly staff gave a warm welcome. The welcome coffee was the best time of my life. Not only that, I was surprised because the pool was so clean and beautiful. And another best option is that my friends also went on safari with them so we organized the safari with them. The driver is very friendly and has 10 years of experience. Thank you for everything.

    Great price for the best value! Great place to stay! We will be back as soon as we return! Everything is very clean, new appliances, made with love and passion! The host is very helpful and great! The home cooked food was the best and served beautifully. We loved our room, the garden for yoga, the rooftop for relaxing, the location close to the elephant orphanage. Honestly, I highly recommend you to stay there, you will get everything you need and even more for an amazing Udawalawe experience, you can book safaris and directly with the owner, they can organize everything for you. Thank you very much Ravindu.

    What a gem! I had a wonderful time with the kindest host. I felt like I was on a private tour the entire time. Ravidu picked me up from Udawalawe Junction, went on safari, and even brought me to the elephant migration house. The room was clean, the air conditioning worked well, and there was a mosquito net! It was a truly pleasant experience, I cannot recommend it enough. Super super nice people definitely deserve more!

    - Very nice location and kind hosts (family business). - We really enjoyed the safari organized by our hosts. We did a full day safari and enjoyed the trip very much. Since it was a short time, we had a driver and a guide who explained the animals very well. Our impression was that both the driver and the guide really enjoyed the trip, drove very carefully and respectfully to the animals in the national park, and were also amazed by the animals we saw. Stuthi Ravidu..

    Amazing place. You can't find much in a more beautiful setting The rooms were wonderful, clean, well equipped and very well sealed to prevent any wind from coming in at night! The staff were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. But they did provide breakfast for our safari which was great. Saw about 40 animals. Highly recommended.
