    We stayed two nights, and although very comfortable and lovely hosts it was one night too many as there is not anything to do in the area apart from the safari and elephant transition home.

    The staff were very kind, welcoming and helpful. They assisted us to plan the safari, made us delicious Sri Lankan breakfast and got us a takeaway. The glass wall is amazing in the bedroom as you can see right into the elephant park. Sadly we didn’t see any but caught lots of other wildlife.

    Nothing bad.

    Excellent accommodations and staff. A great large room with good AC and great WiFi. VERY quiet. They arranged a private safari for only $40 for a 4 hour 2pm-6pm event which was amazing. And so much cheaper.

    Excellent staff, excellent breakfast. the manager organized our safari for us. We did everything via email and instant messaging. I must admit I was a little worried trying to organize all this from the US. But I needn't have. The safari guide was good, but a little over zealous trying to get to the best spots. We did see a lot of elephants, and crocodiles though. The elephant rehabilitation center is walking distance from this place. We stayed 1 night - arrived in the afternoon, went to the elephant rehab to see the feeding, up at 5 am the next morning for safari (guide right on time). Take a light jacket if you are doing the am safari - the drive in can be "cool". We had an amazing dinner and breakfast. But if you want to eat out there is a place between the lodge and the elephant rehab center which seems nice - next time! Overall it was very chill, exactly what we needed/wanted and well organized and will plan to stay there again if when we next visit Udawalawe. Did I mention the property has an amazing orchard. Walk around - its full of fruit trees and herbal plants! And a lot of the produce is what is served at meal times!

    The bed was great but the chairs in the room and on the balcony were not comfortable in the least. We could not sit in any of them long enough to read a book. A small detail but with not much to do there in the evening, finding a comfy spot to read a book is imperative.

    This charming set of rooms is clean, quiet, quite large and overall comfy with balconies that overlook the Udawadale Reserve, right along the fence line. We only stayed one night, so didn't interact much with the staff but those that we did were very welcoming and helpful. Owner packed us a small breakfast for our early morning safari--included in room rate. An outstanding value at $40 USD a night.

    They are working on painting ceiling in lobby

    We were extremely comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to feed us, helped us get laundry done, and arranged for an AMAZING Safari with an OUTSTANDING driver/guide… We could not be more satisfied! The breakfasts were wonderful. They made us a late night snack of french fries and fruit, hit the spot!

    Well, everything: - very supportive stuff: helped with arranging great safari tour late at night; gave advice about nice place to eat out; arranged take away snacks at 6am for the safari tour. - closed territory, with big parking area (at least 2 cars and a couple of scooters will fit there without any problem and space will remain), it has CCTV around the territory - good Wi-Fi - very spacious room and clean room with almost ideal facilities (I didn’t expect it for such price with last minute booking) - toiletry accessories were provided along with coffee and tea - all rooms face the territory of the national park, and in the morning we’ve seen buffalos - quiet place

    Chic, cozy place, spacious room with huge privet bathroom, private terrace. Very clean. The service was at the highest level, the host and staff greeted us warmly, satisfied all our requests, even moved breakfast to lunch, wich was huge and very tasty with tradional Sri Lanka dishes and juices from the their own garden fruits. Feels happy and like visiting Sri Lanka family or met old friends. I highly recommend the place definitely come back.

    Nothing to complain really. Everything was great

    absolutely amazing place to stay in the middle of the forest and so close to the Udawalawe Nationalpark. The rooms were very big, comfortable and clean. The hotel stuff so friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend the Sri Lankan curry made by lalith, an exceptional good chef there. We will definitely come back there!
