Ibis

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment style place! A short tuk tuk away from the elephant orphanage et al. Nice little pool! Very accommodating hosts and a nice breakfast. The only place that let us stay without booking a safari tour!

We recently stayed at Hotel Ibis in Udawalawe, Sri Lanka, and it was a delightful experience. The hotel's serene garden setting provided a peaceful retreat, and our room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with modern amenities. The air conditioning and comfortable bedding ensured a restful night's sleep. The highlight of our stay was the exceptional hospitality of the host, Sarath. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, offering personalized service and attending to our every need. Sarath also organized a memorable safari tour for us at Udawalawe National Park, providing insightful information about the local wildlife. The on-site restaurant served delicious Sri Lankan cuisine, and we particularly enjoyed the hearty breakfast each morning. The hotel's proximity to the Elephant Transit Home and Udawalawe National Park made it an ideal base for exploring the area's attractions. Overall, our stay at Hotel Ibis was outstanding, thanks to Sarath's kindness and the comfortable accommodations. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Udawalawe.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at IBIS, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations in every way.The location is fantastic, close to all major facilities and very easily accessible. The property is immaculately maintained by the owner and his wife, who clearly take great pride in ensuring a tidy and clean environment.The service, cleanliness, and meals were all top-notch, far surpassing what I anticipated. The staff was incredibly supportive and friendly, always ready to assist with a smile. They even helped arrange a safari for us at a very reasonable price, which was a wonderful experience. One of the highlights of the stay was their lovely swimming pool, which was clean and well-maintained. The place is not crowded, allowing us to enjoy a calm and serene environment throughout our stay. It’s clear they strive to create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere for their guests. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere, and great value for money. I’ll definitely return on my next visit!

The rooms are very spacious and furnished as normal rooms. It felt much more like a flat than a hotel room. The washroom was super clean, as well as the whole hotel. The swimming pool was very clean and inviting. We had a last minute check in after another accommodation scammed us and all was ready. The host was really nice and helpful. She offers a jeep for a safari for a fair price.

The breakfast could be a bit richer. Toast was served with egg and cheese with the addition of toasts with jam. This is more of a feedback than a criticism, but the host was almost too nice. I did a short mermaid performance in the pool for her daughter and it was amazing. But then we were just sitting by the pool with my partner and she was still coming. We politely tried to say "good night" several times but without success, so we had very little privacy. Something similar happened in the morning. The host is really sweet and kind, but this was a bit uncomfortable.

Nothing, actually :)

With excellent hospitality, the environment is quiet and pleasant. The cleanliness is top-notch, and the service is superb and friendly. I hope to be back again. Highly recommended!"
