One of the best place in sri lanka
Pros:

Everything was perfect: three nights, which gave me enough time to go on safari and visit the Sinharaja Forest. The room was spotless and comfortable. The family is lovely and cooks very well!

Tropical Hideaway 5 Star
Pros:

It is just beautiful. The room was clean. The staff were all amazing. The dinner they made night 1 was a feast and one of the best curries I have had so far in Sri Lanka. I felt very relaxed there and it felt luxurious and tropical

Cons:

It was slightly out the way but that wasn’t an issue as I dined in and then went on safari. There is accommodation behind theirs that has music on quite late. This wasn’t an issue for me as i was up late but may be worth noting if you plan to get an earlier night.

This truly is a Green Paradise !
Pros:

The garden is beautiful, and the bungalows too! We ate here the most delicious rice and curry of all Sri Lanka, but most of all, we met an amazing family with whom we had really interesting conversations about Sri Lanka’s culture. It was definitely the best accommodation we’ve had in one month of traveling all over Sri Lanka. Just 1 minute away, there is a nice spot to swim in the river.

Fantastiline kogemus
Pros:

Väga soe pererahvas ja vastuvõtt, fantastiline õhtusöök ja hommikusöök. Mugav bungalo (konditsioneer, mugav dushiruum, puhas ja sääsevaba voodi (suured võrgud). Aed oli lihtsalt imeline! Nende poolt korraldatud safari oli väga mõistliku hinna ja väga hea kvaliteediga. Kõik oli lihtsalt uskumatult hea!

Cons:

Kahju, et me peatusime seal vaid ühe öö. Tulevikus loodetavasti läheme veelkord ja siis juba mitmeks ööks.

Pros:

Piękny ogród, pyszne jedzenie, wysoki standard, bardzo miłe przyjęcie. To był mój drugi pobyt na Sri Lance i zdecydowanie najlepszy nocleg spośród wszystkich dotychczasowych. Żałuję że byliśmy tam tylko jedną noc.

Most precious memories of our trip!
Pros:

We will forever cherish the memories we made at the green paradise cottage! The whole family was so caring and welcoming. They truly represent Sri Lankan hospitality. Our sons played together, laughed, ran, swam in the river although they didn’t speak the same language. They took turns offering to hold our baby to allow us to eat or shower or just get ready. We immediately felt at home.
The room was spacious, a crib was provided for our baby, there was an AC and mosquito nets.
The garden is so lush and peaceful.
The food was delicious (we had both breakfast and dinner here)
The safari they organized for us was incredible. The cottage is about 20 min away from the park entry. We saw so many elephants and our guide Pasindu was knowledgeable, drove safely, helped us set up both our kids with their car seats in the jeep, and was genuinely nice. We are so happy we chose to come here instead of way too popular Yala. There weren’t many jeeps and everyone was respectful of the animals, something that was very important to us.

We highly recommend staying here and hope we get to one day revisit Sandaru, Yenul and their family ❤️

Thank you for everything
Laura and Joseph

Cons:

Don’t forget your mosquito repellent :)

Pros:

The Green Paradise Cottage is an outstanding place. It's wonderful what the owner family has created here, all family members are involved in the project. A green oasis and very, very tasty food. The stay was perfect for us with two small children. So far there is one bungalow, wonderfully furnished with everything you need.

Pros:

Hele lieve familie die alles voor je wilt regelen. Het eten bij de familie is ook heerlijk en elke maaltijd weer anders. Ook de tuin is fantastisch, heerlijk groen en ze kunnen je er van alles over vertellen. En vlakbij kun je een heerlijke duik nemen in de rivier terwijl de aapjes vanuit de bomen kijken. Echt even lekker bij komen :).
De tour is een aanrader, goede prijs via hun en leuke ervaren gids.

Cons:

Helaas is er, naast de safari, niet zoveel te doen waardoor we er niet langer zijn gebleven, dat hadden we eigenlijk wel gewild.
