Quiet & close to park entrance
Nice escape in a quiet location for one night. Property is a tad older & more spread out han shows online, could use some TLC especially at pool but good for one day safari at Udawalawe. In a quiet neighborhood.

Really cool place to stay
Great pool, great food, great staff and a really cool place to stay! I would highly recommend this place if you are stopping for safari. The only negative was that our toilet wouldn't flush properly and they didn't have a solution.

Convenient hotel near Udawalawe
A reasonable hotel for visiting Udawalawe National Park as it's very near. Once there you will rely on the food available which is ok but not outstanding. The member of staff in the restaurant was friendly and efficient. Staff on reception were less so and tried to say we had to pay for breakfast which had been included in our rate. Ok for a one night stay. Wifi was good even in the chalets, so good marks for that. Not happy that price of wine was shown differently on different menus and we were charged the higher rate!

Safari and sun
Everything was very good, especially the staff. The lady on reception was fantastic and helped with train tickets. The pool was clean and inviting in the sun. The buffet food was okay, sandwiches were the best choice from the menu options. Safari was great, no need for a guide as our driver pointed out lots of things. Would recommend.

När vi kon fram så fanns vår bokning inte. Vi fick istället ett mindre rum till det tredubbla priset. För övrigt mysigt hotell nen bra service men toaletterna fungerade ej och samma sak efter rumbyte.

Hôtel calme au milieu de la nature proche du parc
Excellente situation avec un personnel au petit soin.
Les chambres sont spacieuses et bien agencées.
Les repas en buffet sont moyens car trop internationaux, mais le repas à la carte est excellent le midi (surtout le repas sri lankais pour un prix très correct)

Personnel et lieu
Nous avons été très agréablement surpris pas la qualité de lacueil et du personnel.
chambres spacieuses aménagées avec goût style lodge confort.
l'endroit est spacieux et calme avec une piscine et restaurant qui méritent le détour.
Point de depart idéal pour visiter ou comme nous se poser pour rejoindre le sud.

Bon emplacement et environnement.
Qualité des repas très moyenne. Entretien des alentours de la piscine (transats...) inexistant.
