The Backwaters Lodge in Wilpattu provides accommodations with a garden and barbecue facilities. Built in 2017, the property includes public bath and open-air bath.

Close to the secondary gate to Wilpattu, very friendly staff and nice surroundings of the rooms! It does take a while to get into the park and we felt we didn’t see many animals in the first stretch, so book a full day safari to not be disappointed. Only comment is that I realized they charge a 10% service charge on the entire bill, including the room fees, which led to us paying close to 25 euros in service charges, which is a lot.

Featuring a garden, MONI FARM HOUSE WILPATTU offers accommodations in Nochchiyagama. This guest house provides air-conditioned accommodations with a terrace.

The location is great, far from noise. It’s very calm and peaceful. The house is also very clean and spacious. The caretaker, Sadi (I hope I spelled the name correctly), is a super nice guy and always ready to help. He makes staying here even more special. Overall, I would highly recommend to stay here. It is also possible to organize a safari trip. The price seems fair, and the driver will pick you up directly from the house. I was very satisfied with how well it was organized.

Offering garden views, Wilpattu Mookalan Resort in Habawewa offers accommodations, free bikes, and a garden. Both free Wifi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge.

Lovely little family-run place right next to the entrance to the national park where all the safaris start. Getting to the rooms involves walking on a little, short path in the brush, which is really quaint! The mother-son- and-father trio really do their best to accomodate, e.g. arranging safari as well as onward transport for us and even offering us a free ride into town (about 15mins away) to get to an ATM! Room with bath was clean, with mozzie nets, and fan and even AC (which we hardly used). Dining is just outside the room -- the mother cooks at her house and then the son or father brings the food over on their bike and serves it up so lovingly.

Great location by a river in a farming community Staff were friendly and efficient and arranged a half day safari for us. Didn’t go as planned as the gate close by to np was closed due to flooding so had to be driven to main gate This was all done with efficiency as it was organised the night before River great for a swim and loved the hammocks by the river to laze around in Overall a great place to stay that’s quite and easy going

    The host was amazing and easy to talk to. Arranged diner for us when we arrived late in the evening. The room was clean and has a mosquito net. The homestay is a few minutes front the national park gate.

    Susil was a great host for us. He took time to talk with us and tell us about the surrounding area and some of the history of Sri Lanka. Made us beautifully cooked homemade meals with traditional ingredients. Very kind man that made our stay an extremely positive one. Hostel is in the most perfect location literally metres from the entrance of the national park.

    Really lovely host, very helpful and caring. I also booked a full day safari with them, which I also enjoyed a lot. The food at dinner is exceptional. Maybe the best food I had on my whole trip. It is cooked by the host family and comes as a buffet of sri lankan dishes. The room is nice, clean and comfortable.
