Flameback Eco Lodge

Amazing place! We had a such a great time staying at the Eco lodge with five star service from everyone at the Flameback , food are lovely and the swimming pool is well maintained we didn't want to leave! The lodge is not far from Hilton but the experience at this place was nothing to compare. We saw all the wild life, the beautiful sun rise , there were over 100 species of birds around the place. The pre drink by the lake and log fire watching little fireflies twinkling about was such a special experience. Really highly recommended.

Nothing - just a note , it's a glamping after all if the tent style doesn't suit please don't book and spoil the rating or others ;)

Loved the flanking tents with a view of the lake. Staff were friendly and super helpful. Great food for breakfast & dinner. They gave us a packed lunch for our safari. A lovely spa with great massage. A little pricey but worth it.

Food and staff

Just a little tired compared to the pictures but it was raining too!

Excellent staff, always willing to help and went above and beyond. The room was amazing and clean.

It exceeded our expectations …. We booked last minute - arrived at the hotel at about lunchtime and then asked if we could do a Safari, within an hour, we were doing a fantastic Safari! It was on New Year’s Eve as well, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we needed, probably a 1-1 ratio of staff to customers. The showers a very good as well, which again exceeded our expectations.

There was nothing we didn’t like about it! I was a bit worried about all the bugs, but there was not one bug in our lodge. In fact, we had more bugs in our five star hotel than we did in this lodge..

The tents are very comfortable and the service was great - especially the manager Ishan and the restaurant staff!

The location is right between a big road with noisy trucks all night and a big Hilton hotel - it’s not a remote and tranquil location

We stayed at the new Villa. That was perfect for family since it’s huge two story villa and has a private pool. Initially I was bit nervous because there were almost no information about this villa. But we recognized that’s because this facility opened in the end of this month (Dec. 2024). Once my family arrived at this villa, we were immediately fascinated by this villa and great hospitality of the staff. I can recommend this although the gramping camp sites should be also good. In addition, location is good. We can enjoy game safaris for both Yala National Park and Udawalawe National Park since it’s located between both national parks. Finally, I was very satisfied with the email communication with Ms. Sonali Lowe (Manager - Sales & Reservations) prior to our stay, as it was both prompt and precise.

I am generally satisfied, but if I had to point out an area for improvement, it would be the internet connection.

Perhaps the best place in Sri Lanka to have your honeymoon. A very peaceful setting with wonderful diversity of wildlife. The luxury and design of our tent was unmatched. Well worth the cost.
