nice, unique accommodation

too warm

We actually had our booking transferred to Kottawatta River Bank Resort (a nearby sister site) due to low booking numbers. Our stay was amazing! The tents were lovely - our veranda overlooked the pool / gardens and nearby trees and was a perfect spot for watching the wildlife in the mornings (we saw giant squirrels, langurs, babblers, myners, palm squirrels, toads, geckos and more). The bed was huge and comfortable, A/C worked well and the fridge was very handy. The pool was fantastic with a splash pool section for little ones as well as the main pool and plenty of sunbeds dotted around. The staff were amazing - everyone we encountered were so welcoming and friendly and the whole place was run efficiently. We were offered cold towels and papaya juice on arrival by the kind receptionist who was also very helpful regarding our enquiries on local attractions. The restaurant staff were lovely as were the housekeeping staff. The gardener even showed our daughter the seed pods of one of the plants in the garden that pop open on contact with water. All in all highly recommended!

Wonderful tent room with a huge comfortable double bed with mosquito net, which can easily fit a three people. Great atmosphere in the tent and “in” the outside bathroom. Tremendous pool (open till 10PM) is surrounded by palm trees and the tents could still be used after checkout. Superb service with a welcome drink and good, reasonably priced Safari-options offered. Good Sri Lankan and European breakfast buffet is served at the restaurant.

The dinner options at the restaurant were only okay. The climate is very humid, so AC is highly recommended and the surcharge worth it. The additional bed for a third person in the room is only a camp bed and not as comfortable as the main bed.

Super friendly staff. Pool was nice and clean other than the random insects getting in and dying.. ;) Had some nice personal encounters with squirrels. Food was really nice and overall affordable place. Can recommend their safari tour.

Water pressure could have been better

Spacious, Integrated with Nature, Good Aesthetics, Value for Money, Excellent location for Udawalawe Park

It was a great stay, big area for kids to walk and run around in the middle of the nature. Very friendly staff. We also booked the safari with them which was great

NOTHING

The place was great. It was really cheap for all the facilities: swimming pool, safari... It is really quiet and our room was upgraded. I recommend this place.

They gave us a free upgrade so it was good value for the price we paid Safari organized by the hotel was very good. Our safari driver/guide was great and explained lots of things. Luxury tent was comfortable Food was tasty

Staff in the restaurant was slow

Amazing place… we stayed longer than experted ! The standard caban is awesome, clean, really cute et quiet. Good view from the balcony, swiming pool and nature with animals. The all village is amazing ! Do not hesitate to go there 😊

No wifi in the room :/ Restaurant’s food is nice but could be better

great stay, excellent value

The staff CAN'T BE NICER Smiling all the time, friendly, helpful, polite will make you feel like at home. Thanks guys!

We stayed in one of the bungalows. It was very large with an open bathroom. The complex is very quiet, you can't hear any street noise. There are two wonderful pools with enough sunbeds. The breakfast was ok. Unfortunately there was no fresh juice. We booked a tour of the national park. This was really great. Very worth it. This accommodation is booked by families a lot, which means there are many kids.

excellent facilities and beautiful setting.

We were upgraded to a luxury tent as it was quiet and the experience was great, the outdoor bathroom was lovely. The pools were great and the arranged safari was amazing. Big thanks to our safari guide Sam, he was brilliant. His knowledge of the park was fantastic and even stopped for us to enjoy the view & a cup of tea. Breakfast & dinner at the hotel was great, good selection for breakfast.

The Wi-Fi only worked in reception, would be better if it was also working in the restaurant too.

A great place to find peace and luxury in one. Very calm and beautiful place. Close to the center and they organize the safari for you if wanted. Amazing place.

we booked this property because it looked nice and good , and the purpose of the stay was just to chill. staff was welcoming and willing to help however their English was very poor so we couldn’t understand each other, pool was empty and closed for renovation. our room was on the ground floor, but the balcony door doesn’t lock.

Back to nature, beautiful grounds, very peaceful, 2 swimming pools lovely accommodation. Very good food in the restaurant, friendly helpful staff. Highly enjoyed my stay and would recommend anyone to stay here.

Maintenance needs to be done on afew minor things. My outside light didn't work and one of the chairs is a bit broken. Nothing serious.

Close to the National park with lovely staff. Got upgraded free of charge. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very kind. We arranged our safari via the hotel and had a great time.

WiFi wasn’t great

it is a beautiful place to stay, it is like the most glamorous kind of camping you could imagine! there is even hot water, but no air conditioning (which you don’t need). the traditional Sri Lankan Meals are lovely prepared and soo delicious. we booked the safari directly from the place here, it was awesome and easy to organise (just contact the reception). we have been very lucky to stay here!

The Best Place You Will Find In Udawlawe

Safari was Great thanks to our amazing driver!! liked the pool and friendly staff

Tents had a nice „Safari-feeling“ but are not practical. Mice and monkeys on the roof made us wake up in the night

Our room was luxurious, the pool was nice and staff was being really helpful!

The hotel are was big and a bit dark in the evening
