We chose the Lagoon Inn as we wished to take Mr Kamal’s birdwatching safari into Bundala NP. He was the perfect host and guide. The room was basic but had everything we needed, spotlessly clean and great value. Curries for dinner and the breakfast were both excellent. Views across the park from our balcony and Mr Kamal’s viewing platform were a bonus.

This is a wonderful place to stay; fantastic if you are on a budget and understand the facilities are basic. There is electricity, warm water and a comfortable bed...in a fabulous location with fabulous hosts. You will see an array of wildlife (porcupine, bats, crocs, elephants and exotic birds).
Danoushka and Anousha were warm, welcoming and kind. We loved our stay here and felt part of nature.
Anousha cooks delicious Sri Lankan food and Danoushka is knowledgeable about the local area; We went on a tuk tuk drive with him to see various temples and sites of historic importance - a highlight of our stay in Sri Lanka.
My husband also did an early morning bird spotting safari on the back of a motor bike which enabled him to take some close shots of the abundant bird life.
Jungle cabin gave us the experience of "real" Sri Lanka and, as a middle aged couple, it was an absolute pleasure to spend time with the hosts and enjoy their home.
We would not hesitate to recommend this as a rustic place to stay...make the most of Danoushka's local and wildlife knowledge and...enjoy the tranquility.

I had a great stay. The room is spacious, clean and quiet. There is a balcony to enjoy nature and reading. The internet is working well. The family is so helpful and always available. They organized the safari for me and brought me to a restaurant and the bus station. I can definitely recommend this place.

Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to go on the Yala safari. Priyah was an excellent host and couldn’t have done enough for us. He collected us from bus stop, took us back to bus station when we were moving on and made sure we got on the bus ok. He took us out the night before our safari to see the local wildlife, crocodiles, birds, bats it was amazing. He also helped us with booking the Yala safari and we thought this was at such a reasonable price, much cheaper than we had seen online! Safari in itself was amazing. Rooms were immaculate. We cannot recommend this place enough - 10/10 thank you so much for the most amazing stay!!

Lake Face Cabana is the perfect accomodation for nature lovers. We enjoyed watching the birds and the crocodile in the morning before we had a really rich and tasty breakfast. The 3 guest houses are built on stilts and 2 of them have a nice view to the lake. The owner family allowed us to choose the room/house that we wanted because we were the only ones that had booked.
We loved our stay, but you should know that the rooms are rather basic (cold water only and fan only, no air condition), but we loved the cold shower with a good stream of water and we loved sleeping with fresh air in the night from the outside. It was at the perfect temperature for sleeping and with the moskito nets, we had no problems with moskitos.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Specially staff was professional and friendly. Food was amazing. Great location.
The restaurant manager Mr Kazim was very nice. Rest of the staff was also very friendly.
A great location, close to Bundalla National Park. The rooms are basic but comfortable and clean. Lagoon Inn has a very relaxed vibe, and the hosts, Kamal and his wife, are beautiful people and very helpful when it comes to tips about the area, transport, etc.
Kamal organised our safari and it was fantastic. It was very relaxing and it felt like we had the park to ourselves, unlike the larger, better known parks. We saw plenty of monkeys, elephants, birdlife, crocodiles and even deer, although only briefly.
Among the best guest houses I've been. Very friendly and helpful owner, excellent food and tea, central and quiet location with sea view, 100m from beach and 500m from main bus station. Room had private bathroom, fan, good ventilation and daylight, is mosquito-proof when doors closed, and had a balcony with sea view. Free wifi is available. Very good value for money. It's very pleasant to sit on the balcony or in the shaded garden in the breeze, hear the sound of the waves and enjoy the view.
Quiet, spacious shady balcony outside the rooms and a lookout platform that is great for birdwatching and sunsets. Hosts welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable, especially on the birdlife having worked as a guide at Bundala National Park. The accommodation which included air conditioning was great too. The location is ideal being within walking distance to Bundala National Park. The safari they organised was fantastic (they own the jeep) were a good price and professional. .
Quiet place at the beach.few steps and you are on a long,open and beautiful sand beach.The host makes good food and is very resposive and friendy.good for people who like sea view,nature an relax.
This guesthouse is right on a long, quiet beach about ten minutes walk from the town. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly. He set up a table with umbrella and chairs outside of our bungalow where he cooked us an amazing breakfast and dinner. For supper, he barbecued fresh fish, potatoes and salad on our porch. This quest house is reasonably priced and in an absolutely stunning location.
Great location in the town, about 7 minutes walk from the bus station. It's a quiet location with jungle garden. In this family homestay you are made to feel very welcome. The host is naturally considerate and adjusts things to make your stay comfortable. If you chose to have meals, they are substantial and delicious.
