Peaceful location with a great plunge pool to chill out in after a fantastic Safari thru Wilpattu park. Staff are super friendly and can’t do enough for you. As the photos show it is rustic and down to earth accommodation which is part of its unique charm.

The interconnecting door to the next unit was not effective at blocking sound.

The plunge pool was good for a dip. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I asked them to organise a cake for my husband 80th birthday. They did and even put up balloons and streamers. They catered for us and I enjoyed all the meals.

We stayed there to go on a Safari. Was disappointed with the Safari tour not seeing much wildlife was expensive and a waste of time.

Great location and surroundings. Close to Wilpattu National Park entrance. Friendly and helpful staff, from Priyashanth our guide, Harsha the manager, Nimsara and Piyumi the kitchen staff and Krishnan who looked after our room. Afternoon walking safari was very enjoyable and plenty of wildlife to be seen. Plunge pool was very convenient for a quick refreshing dip. The manager was very kind and drove us into town so we could purchase some beer and a motor scooter was also organised for our stay.

Downside to the property was the food, it was very average for Sri Lankan standards. It would be nice to have a plate of fresh fruit included with breakfast, which we found was usually the norm in Sri Lanka. Also fresh fruit juice should also be included with breakfast. We did ask and were given fresh fruit juice - at no extra cost, thank you! Napkins should automatically be provided with each meal and fresh placemats with each meal would be welcomed.

We loved our stay at Wild Wadi Wilpattu. The hosts were so sweet and kind and took such good care of us. Every day they cooked the best home cooked meals for us and the food was SO delicious! We booked the safari with Priyashntha and he was the best guide ever! The villa was in the middle of nature and very close to the entrance of the national park. There were only two jeeps at the entrance when we arrived and we were able to watch the animals completely alone by ourselves, without any crowds. It was such a magical experience. Thank you Wild Wadi Wilpattu team for being such amazing hosts!

We had the best time staying at Wild Wadi Wilpattu. The property is located about 5 - 10 minutes from the Wilpattu park entrance which not only means you can easily book a safari but you also experience some incredible wild life just steps outside your door. We cannot praise the staff enough. Everyone we spoke with was so nice and so accommodating. It’s very clear that the folks at Wild Wadi are very passionate about animals, the environment and sharing all of their knowledge with their guests. We had breakfast and dinner at Wild Wadi each night. We had traditional Sri Lankan meals and it was some of the best food we had so far on our trip. We would highly recommend booking at Wild Wadi if you are visiting Wilpattu - such an incredible experience! We will be back!

Incredible introduction to Sri Lanka - wonderful staff, surrounded by incredible nature and delicious food. The boat safari and the full day safari in Wilpattu were highlights of entire trip. Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.

Fantastic place to stay for so many reasons. The hotel itself feels really like a safari camp with wild animals and birds all around, there are monkeys and squirrels in the gardens. Each room is very private down a small path from the main dining room. The rooms are absolutely huge and wonderfully decorated. They have a large comfortable more-than-double bed and are well equipped with a fridge, air-conditioning and ceiling fan, hot and cold shower, tea and coffee making facilities, towels and robe. The room had huge windows overlooking the forest and its own private terrace and plunge pool perfect for cooling off after a long day. We had a sri lankan style breakfast which was delicious and we ate 2 nights at the hotel. I would highly recommend the seafood bbq, so much yummy food! The hotel is situated perfectly for safari as it is right next to the entrance to the national park so only 2 minutes in the tuktuk to get to the entrance. They packed us breakfast, lunch and snacks. Priyashantha joined us for the day and was fantastic at taking us to the best places to spot the wildlife. He brought along binoculars and books to show us the birds and animals we had seen. The jeep itself has a roof to keep cool in the heat of the day on the full day safari. I would highly recommend the friendly and caring staff, the beautiful peaceful surroundings and the very comfortable rooms.

It wasnt a problem for me, but as you are in nature there are bugs including mosquitos, so bring repellent!
