We could have stayed longer!

Dassa and all of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and spacious. Lovely pool and tranquil surroundings. Amazing curry dinners and lovely breakfast. Dassa helped plan every activity we hoped for. I could definitely have stayed longer. We highly recommend Into the Wild.

The pool and “chill” area was really lovely. There was a bar and restaurant on site which had great cocktails and lovely breakfast. The staff were so friendly and nice.

Room was missing some wardrobe space and lighting was very bright, with unusual light switch locations. Additional towel in the bathroom would be really usefull.

Wonderful resort in the middle of the forrest. Property is quite big, allowing you to use any corner to have your own peace, or mingle with the other guests. Pool was really nice and there is plenty of shade, if you are not sunbathing type. Food was excellent, big breakfast and wide variety of western and local food. Dinner local buffet was excellent, allowing us to taste the local curries. Staff was great, always present and helpful. We had an issue with the hairdryer and guys brought a new one as soon as we pointed out. The hike to the nearby temple, organized by the resort team was fantastic!

We absolutely loved how in nature we were within this property. The facilities were great and the staff were so helpful and friendly. My partner was sick and one of the staff members went above and beyond to make sure he had herbal tea’s and any medicine he needed.

Nowhere to walk to on your own e.g. to see sunrise/sunset (risk of elephant encounters at/after dusk), but grounds lovely to walk around and easy to arrange tuk tuks (eg Piduranfula for sunrise)

Friendly helpful team. Informative about local things to see/do and very helpful in arranging things even at short notice. Free guided hotel walk to sunset viewpoint and rock temple (pay to see /go through temple). Whole set of new bicycles available when I was there (didn't use but they looked great). Pool is wonderful and you can sit in a hammock in the garden and watch monkeys in the trees. The breakfast was the best I had in 3 weeks travelling round Sri Lanka. Room was clean and spacious. As a solo female traveller I liked the on site restaurant for dinner, especially as it was open air (under cover). Into the Wild is a very special place (I stayed 3 nights and could have stayed longer).

Off the beaten track stay with wildlife all around. Unfortunately it was raining so we didn’t get to go in the pool but the staff are so friendly and have lots of tips to do in the area and can help with transport. Shout out to Dassa, Suresh and the rest of the team who made our stay so memorable.

Amazing facilities, lovely setting, great staff. They sorted us out with a driver, a safari and a visit to the rock all with just one night at the hotel. The pool and surroundings are lovely. Just the right vibe. Peaceful and relaxing.

The road to the property is very rough and wasn’t suitable for our Prius but they were happy to Tuktuk us to and from the main road. Driver accommodation available but not for us as we booked through trip advisor.

Lovely location tucked away ‘into the wild’ with great grounds and pool area. Room was nice and spacious and beds comfortable. Restaurant serves great food and service available all day.

Really awesome place. It's in the middle of the forest and you feel like you've stepped away from all the hustle and bustle that is Sri Lanka. The staff were so friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. We had a delicious dinner and breakfast! I just wish we could have stayed for longer!

We liked everything but your car driver may not be happy about the unsealed road on arrival. Our yuk tuk driver was fine with it but those unfamiliar with the area or concerned about their car may not be so happy.

Nestled amongst trees and bushes, the air is full of bird song. It is easy to relax on the ample balconies and take in the sense of thriving nature. The staff are all friendly and frequently laughing which creates a nice atmosphere. The pool was a welcome relief for sore legs after climbing rocks and stairs in the local area. Breakfast was enjoyable and we really enjoyed the spacious room and comfortable bed. We enjoyed our stay.

Wifi was really weak, so if you’re looking for somewhere to remote work this probably isn’t the place to stay. Restaurant music was loud and unnecessary at times, we much preferred the authentic Sri Lankan music!!

The pool space was great (hammocks and treehouse too) although a few more sun beds are needed. Having the restaurant was super convenient on evenings you didn’t want to venture far. The hotel really feels like it’s part of the jungle and the rooms are large and spacious!

We stayed for 3 nights at Into the Wild and it was amazing. The staff is very hospitable and the rooms are clean. In the evening, you can have delicious cocktails while sitting at the bar and listening to background music. I would really recommend this stay at Into the Wild.

What could have been better: - The property is located on the edge of town, at the end for a dirt road. This means it is not really possible to walk to the main town, particularly after rain. However, the property is a 15-minute tuk tuk ride into the town, with drivers on site.

What we liked: - The property and its grounds are lovely. The area surrounding the pool has day beds, hammocks and bean bags, making it a great place to relax. - The staff were friendly and gave us useful recommendations regarding attractions. - We enjoyed the free breakfast, juice and tea provided by the property - it was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka.

Meals were not satisfactory

Rooms and location was good. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Stayed in January 2025

We order the same food twice, the second time it wasn’t half good probably due to many people

The view from the room is great, staff is even better, the room is nice. We organized tours through the hotel using a car and a tuktuk, and they were fantastic! The driver was friendly, talkative, and very pleasant. However, we would maybe skip the visits to shops along the way next time.

A tiny bit further out from the main town, but is an easy quick tuk tuk away - wasn’t really an issue for us :)

We absolutely loved our stay here and wish it was longer!! Our room was modern, clean, large and very Comfortable. The outdoor pool seemed very new and was a great feature. All around it are resting spots like hammocks, making the area have a great chill vibe. All the food we had here was amazing, even some of the best Pina coladas we’ve had ever!! A massive shoutout to the staff, everyone was SO welcoming and friendly, they even showed us how to play Carrom which was A LOT of fun. Suresh made us laugh a lot, so thank you 😂 Sandun was so helpful and approachable!! Also Bhagya was very friendly and always had a smile on her first. As a young couple travelling, it was a pleasure to stay here!

Everything priced in dollars then converted to Sri Lankan Rupees - why? Charged 3% for using a credit card!

Peaceful setting. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room spacious and shower good.

Wonderful property directly in the nature with great staff, beautiful pool, superb guides which really makes you feel at home. We stayed one night but should have stayed two as there is so much to explore around.
