Pros:

Staff were awesome and super helpful in arranging everything from the safari (good price!) to transport. There is a beautiful cabin in the garden that overlooks rice fields. Good location, 10 mins from the Wilpattu park entrance.

Een geweldig verblijf die aan te raden is als je een safari gaat doen.
Pros:

Het personeel was echt onwijs lief en lieten ons heel erg op ons gemak voelen. Bij aankomst kregen we een welkomstdrankje en konden we gelijk dineren in de boomhut. Ook werd onze tuktuk geparkeerd en onze tassen aangenomen. De kamer was mooi. De volgende dag hebben we met de eigenaar en zijn broer een onvergetelijke safari gedaan.

Cons:

Er was wat geluidsoverlast van de buren met harde muziek en daarbij ook van de wat drukkere weg.

Tolle Unterkunft nahe des Wilpattu National Park
Pros:

Tolle Unterkunft mit sehr netten Besitzern und perfekt gelegen für eine Wilpattu Safari. Das Frühstück ist super und man kann zudem sehr gut im Restaurant zu Abend essen. Die Aussicht in den Garten vom Balkon ist toll.

Cons:

Für große Personen (> 1,90m) könnte die Matratze etwas länger sein.

Pros:

Rendezett, tiszta szobát kaptunk, gyönyörű kilátással a hátsó kis pálmaerdőre. A személyzet nagyon kedvesen fogadott bennünket, és még reggelit is csomagoltak, mivel hajnalban indultunk a Nemzeti Parkba szafarira. A szállás jó helyen van, tuktukkal könnyen elérhető a park.

Perfekte Unterkunft für eine Safari im Wilpattu National Park
Pros:

Sehr gut gelegenes Guest House, direkt beim Wilpattu National Park, mit sehr herzlichen Besitzern. Der Ausblick vom Balkon in den Garten voller Bananenpflanzen ist wunderschön und das Zimmer war super sauber. Wir haben über die Unterkunft eine Safari mit Kadil gebucht und es war ein unvergesslicher Tag. Das Essen in der Unterkunft ist lecker zu sehr fairen Preisen. Der Bus für die Weiterreise wurde für uns sogar direkt vor der Unterkunft angehalten.
Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war einfach top, können die Unterkunft nur jedem empfehlen!

Cons:

Das Internet war, wie überall in Sri Lanka, nicht das beste und das Bett könnte bisschen bequemer sein, für zwei Nächte aber vollkommen ok.

Good location to visit the park, friendly helpful staff
Pros:

The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. The place is perfect for an overnight stay to go to wilpattu national park. Food was great and reasonable. Beautiful garden from the balcony. If you’re using buses really easy access.

Cons:

Nothing really. The bathroom wasn’t great but not a problem. The road noise didn’t bother us.
