Owner nice person.
Pros:

It is a place that gives you good value. The breakfast here is great. I highly recommend this place. You can book a safari for a very cheap price. The special thing about this place is that it is very close to everything. You can walk to the elephant milking station from this place.

We will definitely be back 😊
Pros:

It was so peaceful, the room exceeded our expectations - it was beautiful. The grounds are really well kept and very tidy. The family who run the lodge are kind, caring and amazing people.

They also offer a wonderful safari that you can arrange.

Not to mention the food! Wow Madhu is a very good cook. Her food is amazing. I highly recommend eating at the on-site restaurant as it was the most delicious food we had in Sri Lanka.

Thank you for hosting us. We will definitely be back 😊

The owners were friendly!!!!
Pros:

The owners were friendly and very helpful, organising two great safaris for us. The guide was excellent, adapting the safari to our interests, whilst enabling us to see a wide range of wildlife. The home cooked breakfast and evening buffet were delicious and provided a real taste of Sri Lankan food. The resort is in a great location for visiting the national park and provided real value for money.

Very comfortable and clean hotel
Pros:

We loved Traget safari home stay! It is located about 10 minutes from the entrance of Udawalawe Park and is in a beautiful location among the trees. The manager Ravidu and his wife were very friendly and organized a wonderful safari for us to the park. We saw over 50 elephants and other animals, so we had a great time. Our room at the hotel was large, comfortable and very clean. We also had a lovely dinner at the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to do a safari in Udawalawe. It was excellent value for money.

Restful stay with kind hosts
Pros:

This place is so beautiful - and so are the hosts! It's so peaceful, with plenty of space to sit outside and watch the monkeys and the train. The dinner + breakfast was fantastic, the place was very clean and welcoming and Ravi arranged a tuk tuk to the falls for us on our departure morning. We will definitely be back and hope many more people come to stay at this wonderful place.

Highly recommend it
Pros:

Very good accommodation, friendly staff. Very clean rooms, especially the bathroom. They provided us with delicious Sri Lankan food. We had been on safari twice in Sri Lanka, but this was our third time in Udawalawe and it was organized by this hotel. They provided us with a young driver with 10 years of experience and knowledge and a jeep. He explained everything about each animal, especially the lifestyle of elephants. This was the best safari we had in Sri Lanka. Of course, organizing the safari with the hotel was the best. Thank you very much for everything.

Lovely place.
Pros:

We stayed here for one night. The accommodation is wonderful. Really nice staff. We had a great dinner here. The park is beautiful at night with the lights. We booked a safari tour from them. We saw leopards, elephants and many animals. The driver was great, he knows every place in the park. Very comfortable jeep. The next day we booked a taxi from them. The prices are cheap. Before booking the taxi we ask because the city is expensive. But here the prices are reasonable. Thank you all.

Very good
Pros:

A great place for a safari. The accommodation was basic but clean and functional. There was a good evening meal on site. The owner was very helpful, organising our morning safari and sending us off with a packed breakfast. Our driver was an excellent spotter and pointed out many creatures we would have missed otherwise.

Most amazing place!
Pros:

This was our favorite place to stay during our entire stay in Sri Lanka. Amazing value for money with everything you need - hot shower, air conditioning, spacious room, mosquito net, fan. It was perfect! The dinner at the guesthouse was amazing too. We booked our safari through them and it was a 10/10. I would recommend this place to anyone planning to visit Udawalawe.✨❤️

Very good breakfast 🍳☕👌🏽
Pros:

Spacious and comfortable room 🛏️.
The host is super helpful and friendly 🤝 — he even arranged a safari for us!

For the safari, if you get the chance to go with Shantha, go for it!
He is the best guide/driver we have ever had: ethical ✅, calm 🧘‍♂️, he doesn't follow the same route as everyone else.
He knows the park and the animals well and speaks excellent English.

He showed us two very different sides of the park between the morning 🌅 and evening 🌇 safaris.
Close your eyes and go for it — both the room and the guide are top notch!

Great stay for a udawalawe safari.
Pros:

A good place to stay in Udawalawe. A quiet place in a convenient location for both the city and the countryside.. The location is especially good. You can see the sunrise and sunset from there. The room is very good. The air-conditioned silence and no outside disturbances. The bed and pillows are comfortable enough. The bathroom is basic and good. The host was friendly and helpful and organized transportation for us on a number of occasions, including the safari. He is a very good cook, we loved his jackfruit curry.

Amazing place - I would definitely book again.
Pros:

We loved our stay. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. It looked very basic due to the price and photos, but it was everything you could possibly need. You still have all the comforts you could possibly need. The owner of the place helped us plan the safari trip and it was unforgettable. Our guide was very nice and super professional. We really enjoyed our stay.

He made our stay and safari in Udawalawe an unforgettable experience.
Pros:

The room is spacious and clean. The plugs are also suitable for Europeans. The air conditioning provides a pleasant coolness. Water and sugarcane drinks are welcome.
Very nice and hospitable owner and his family.
Prepared us a delicious Sri Lankan lunch, brought watermelon when we asked for extra fruit.
He also took us on a safari in his jeep. Careful driver, knows the park well, met many elephants, crocodiles, buffaloes, lovebirds, monkeys, various birds. A delicious breakfast was served in a secluded place by the lake. Pancakes and sandwiches were delicious.

Amazing stay and highly recommend!
Pros:

Very kind and friendly hosts. We have met many people in Sri Lanka and this couple made a really good impression on us. They welcomed us with juice and cake and were full of good conversation.
The room is clean, has air conditioning, fridge, hot water. Breakfast is included. We also did a safari with them. You can do both morning and evening safaris. We saw many elephants and other animals :) They also give the best price for the jeep.
