Great location and amazing safari
Pros:

The guest house is located just outside of Wilpattu Park. The room was nice and clean and there was tea available for guests. We were also each served a really nice mango juice as a welcoming drink. They also helped us organize the safari - and we even saw a leopard!

Great base for Wilpattu NP
Pros:

Excellent base for Wilpaatu NP, right on main road so bus stops right there, lovely restaurant with a mango juice to die for. Nice garden spot to enjoy meals. Extremely helpful owner Kaushik who assisted with a good safari

Cons:

Would have liked a rice and curry offering at dinner, but the kottu, fried rice, devilled sausage etc were very tasty, no complaints....

No está mal, pero quizás un poco caro por lo recibido
Pros:

Lo mejor ha sido el personal, que han sido muy agradables. Las habitaciones normales. Desayuno correcto. Puedes cenar allí si te hace falta, pero con cocina sencilla.

Cons:

No está mal del todo, pero por el precio pagado y en comparación con el resto de alojamiento en los que hemos estado en Sri Lanka, me esperaba mucho más. Hotel a pie de carretera, por lo que el ruido por la noche era importante.

Highly recommend.
Pros:

The host was outstanding! He arranged a safari complete with packed lunch. The setting was magical- eating dinner in a raised platform to watch birds. He took us back to the train at the end.

Cons:

It was perfect.

Pros:

Staff were all so kind and willing to go out of their way to help us with anything needed. They have a restaurant and a small shop. We ate all our meals here and did a safari with them. Was welcomed by a lovely fresh juice. They also transferred us to Sigiriya! Very nice stay - thank you!

Pros:

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting the Wilpattu national park. The place is great, clean, quiet and comfortable. The garden is amazing with great views into the rice field. The host was so helpful offering to drive us places and making dinner for us when the restaurant was shut. I would definitely recommend this place!!

A perfect stay in every way! The room was super comfortable and quiet—we slept wonderfully—and the food was absolutely delicious and high quality.

A special thanks to the owner: super helpful, welcoming, and always ready to personally drive us around to discover the best local spots. We felt truly taken care of from start to finish.

Fantastic place, highly recommended, and we will definitely be back!

Pros:

Tutto perfetto! Sono gentili e disponibili. Ci hanno accolto appena arrivati con un frullato in mango incredibile. C’è anche la possibilità di lavarsi i vestiti (a mano). Tutti i pasti possono essere consumati nella casetta nel giardino che offre un panorama incredibile sulla natura. Camere pulitissime e accoglienti. Su richiesta ti organizzano il safari che è a 15 min dalla struttura! Colazione abbondante e buona.
