Pros:

Der Hotelbesitzer hat sich große Mühe gegeben auf vegane Ernährungsweise einzugehen und es hat super geschmeckt! Außerdem hat er eine Safari für mich organisiert. Das Hotel hat einen bezaubernden Garten mit Pool und liegt etwas abseits der nächsten größeren Straße, sodass es sehr ruhig ist. Alles war sehr sauber

Cons:

Es gab viele Insekten, was aber an der schönen Natur liegt und nicht an mangelnder Hygiene. Man sollte aber Insektenspray und eventuell ein Moskitonetz mitbringen, weil die Tür unten einen Spalt hat durch den Käfer kommen können. Das hat mich aber nicht sehr gestört.

Amazing!!!
Pros:

This hotel is nothing short of amazing. The garden is STUNNING, immersed in nature, full of wild life and beautiful plants. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, and the owner and staff made us feel at home. The pool is large and welcoming, and the food is delicious - the best curry we had in Sri Lanka, and great breakfast. The owner helped us with everything we needed.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

- le jardin, la terrasse et la piscine sont magnifiques
- les chambres et sdb sont très propres - celles du rez de chaussée étaient en cours de rénovation
- il y a des frigos dans les chambres
- le petit déjeuner servi au bord de la piscine est très bien
- possibilité de restauration le soir (rice and curry) si commandé en avance
- l'équipe est discrète et sympathique

Cons:

Attention, l'hôtel est mal positionné sur Google Map et ne se trouve pas en bord de route - il est dans la nature au bout d'un chemin, les premiers commerces sont donc un peu loin

Entspannter Ort mit Pool und allem was es braucht.
Pros:

Ein sehr ruhiger Ort zum abschalten und entspannen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sauber und das Bett sehr bequem. Dann Klimaanlage waren auch die Nächte gut auszuhalten. Der Pool und der liebevoll gepflegte Garten waren das absolute Highlight!

Dejligt ophold
Pros:

Virkelig dejlig swimmingpool og værelser. Der var dog lidt dybt og inden mulighed for ungerne kunne bunde.

Cons:

Vi var heldige at have privatchauffør, for ellers er beliggenheden lidt langt væk fra tingene. Men for os var det skønt at være ude i junglen og bare tage bilen når vi ville på restaurant eller ind og se elefanter.

Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here with our two young children (5 and 1.5 years old). Everyone at the property was incredibly attentive to all our family's needs and made us feel right at home. The rooms were fantastic—spotless, spacious, and extremely comfortable, which is exactly what you need with a toddler. Also, after a hot morning safari, coming back to relax in their beautiful pool was an absolute lifesaver for the kids!
A huge plus was how they handled our safari: they organized a great driver for us without any extra markups, and we were able to pay the driver directly. It made the whole experience so stress-free! The food was another massive highlight. The breakfast was amazing and perfectly set us up for the day. For dinner, we ate at the hotel—it was very reasonably priced, absolutely delicious, and even our young kids loved eating the curries! Highly recommend this place for anyone, especially families, looking for a perfect safari base.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing, everything was perfect for our family!

Pros:

Absolutely flawless stay! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The location is away from town, but absolutely perfect for nature lovers. There is nothing more relaxing than spending the afternoon in the swimming pool watching and listening to animals in their natural habitat. It felt like a private safari from the comfort of the water. It might be further away from town, but really you didn't come to Udawale to see it. And after all you will not want to leave anyway as every meal we had there was delicious. I can’t recommend this place enough! They will also help you to organize everything for a fair price what made our visit super easygoing. And most importantly our room was spotlessly clean. Take my advice and stay there for at least two nights. Don't rush back to the touristic beach and enjoy how time slows down over there.
