Guest Reviews
Nicely located with chalet type rooms . Easy access to pool . Nice restaurant
We had a friend who wanted to have a few drinks with us before going home for the night, as he lives close to the hotel. However, the reception staff informed us that he had to leave before 9.30 PM because the hotel gates are closed at that time and no one is allowed to enter or leave afterwards.
We were quite disappointed by this policy, as a hotel is a place where guests come to relax and enjoy themselves, not somewhere that feels restrictive. After some discussion with the staff, they eventually allowed him to stay until 11.30 PM, which we appreciated.
Prachtige locatie. Mooi huisje en lief personeel.
De douche was kapot. Ze hebben het geprobeerd te maken, maar hij werd nog niet warm.
La chambre, le personnel, la nourriture et l’organisation du safari.
Rien.
A good place to stay. A beautiful cabana.
The shower heater was broken.
Huge Tent like rooms. Lovely pool. Staff came and took our restaurent orders directly from the pool. Toilets are outdoor but in the tropical modernism sense. Restaurant was great over looking a river. They organised our safari.
Take sunglasses to protect your eyes from the wind while travelling to the park, its a bit far. Would have been nice to have steps from balcony to pool.
Very unique place. Showers and bathrooms outside!
Its literally in a jungle area so lots of mosquitoes. It is what it is!
Pool was nice. Good location to get to safari and elephant transit home.
Bedding/pillows smelled quite musty, not nice to sleep on. Unfortunately one night we were there, there was a party with a band playing which very loud and late into the night in the local area, and being a tent we had to put up with the noise which wasn’t ideal when we had to be awake early for safari. Restaurant food and breakfast was quite underwhelming and not enjoyable for us.
Food was excellent.
Good Clean rooms.
Very nice property, very nice people especially my dear friend Dilina. 10/10
Beaux équipements, belle salle de bain, piscine agréable, logement au calme
/
Tout était parfait, le personnel, la propreté des lieux des draps, le calme .. nous recommandons !!
Petit déjeuner copieux
Le safari organisé avec l’hotel était top, notre guide était complètement fou on a trop rigolé 😂 premières arrivées dans la réserve naturelle
La nourriture a la carte n’était pas fraiche et un peu chère pour ce que c’était…
The staff in this property are amazing and go above and beyond. The main worker at the front desk was so attentive and kind! It was my birthday and they decorated the bed and all the staff came out with a cake (that my husband got delivered to the resort) and they sang with us. It was such a big gesture for all of them to come out and celebrate with me!
The property itself is amazing, it’s like glamping but 10 times nicer. The tents are really interesting and we had read reviews about ac being an issue but we didn’t have that problem at all. Our room was cool and when we didn’t turn the ac to a lower setting, it was cold!
There are bugs and dragon flies over the pool but it’s totally unavoidable with it being in the middle of nature.
The resort arranged our safari for us, I’d recommend the 530am start one as we saw way more in the morning than we did as it neared midday. The breakfast they packed was more than we expected: sandwiches, fruit, a boiled egg, hot coffee and juice. We loved the safari!
The restaurant didn’t have rice and curry or king coconut which was a shame. Also the buffet breakfast wasn’t running so it was a breakfast they brought out - I said I was vegetarian but still got served sausages and chicken snitzel. I’d recommend asking customers for dietary needs before serving breakfast.
Overall though the staff are lovely and the stay is 100% worth it. Would just recommend eating in town!
Overall nice stay. Tent like rooms with mosquito nets over the bed. Bathroom is outside of the room. Staff was very nice and helpfull. Close to the Udawalawe safari park. Breakfast included a dahl, eggs, fruit and more.
Prepare for lots of bugs and small animals. Pool cushions are black which is extremely hot.
We loved our stay here, the room was great and all the staff so friendly. We did a half day safari with the hotel and our guide, Charith, was absolutely amazing. We had so much fun and it was great value for money in comparison to other local companies and we even got our own private jeep. The hotel facilities were great and the restaurant was much better priced than expected, we would definitely stay here again!

Petits chalets atypiques (suite avec vue sur piscine), entourés de nature.
La musicien est super agréable, et très bonne surprise restaurant.
Bon point de chute pour le safari (à ~ 25min en voiture) et le prix de location de jeep est raisonnable vs ce qu’on a pu constater en comparant ailleurs.
La nature c’est super mais si vous êtes peureux au niveau des petits animaux et autres bestioles à pattes (araignées, écureuil, geckos…) vous allez être servis 😊
Les tentes avec balcon autour de la piscine sont superbes. La piscine est grande et propre. L environnement est calme. Toutefois, ce sont des tentes, donc on entend les voisins. Cela ne nous a pas gêné car tout le monde est respectueux.
Nous avons fait le safari 6h avec eux: c etait parfait
Je recommande cet hotel pour l hébergement et l organisation du safari.
Der Pool war toll. Frühstück war ein großes jnd abwechslungsreiches Buffet, Restaurant auch gute Auswahl und lecker. Das Zimmer mit dem Außenbad war wirklich ein Highlight.
Wir haben eine Full-Day-Safari direkt über das Hotel gebucht, mit der wir super zufrieden waren.
In der ersten Nacht hatten wir ein Tier in unserem Zimmer, das unser Obst angefressen hat und uns mit Geräuschen wach hielt.
