Walawa Reach hotel

Friendly family run spot very near Udawalawe National Park. We had the 2x family rooms by the lovely pool and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Chamil and his family were really friendly although had little English. They organised a morning safari for us and a taxi onto our next destination.

There was no menu and although we found the meals tasty, thought they were a bit expensive for what they were and there weren’t many dining options nearby.

Nice fairly new apartment with a great pool that is close to the park entrance, what more could you want. Chamil booked us an amazing safari as well. We also saw some elephants just from the main road.

No shops nearby, but that was not that big an issue with us staying just one night.

- clean ane spacious room - pool was clean - close to the park - the most welcoming and friendly staff

Clean and comfortable. Great pool and generous breakfast.

We booked Walawa Reach for one night as it was really close to the entrance of the safari. There are two rooms and we booked both. The rooms are incredibly clean. They are basic but comfortable and did us perfectly for one night. The pool area was a bonus for our kids, it was warm and very clean. They rated it the best pool out of our trip. The family who run the guest houses are lovely, it was their new year holidays whilst we were there and despite having their own family there for the celebrations, they could not do enough for us, we were collected at 5.30am for our safari and they were already up with a breakfast packed and ready. They stored our luggage until our return and were happy for the kids to use the pool again and us use one of the rooms until our driver collected us again to move on. For the price I could not have booked better, excellent value!

Staff was nice.

Rooms were pretty basic, and in my opinion not a great value for money. In terms of location, there absolutely nothing around the hotel and no choice to eat out (but then, to be fair, if one wants to visit Udawalawe NP, there are not many options, the whole area is not great when it comes to services).

Super close to Udawalawe's national park. They organised our safari really nicely.

We had a power cut and communication could've been better as we didn't have electricity for ours, but I think this was due to language barriers.

It was a beautiful stay & very close to the park. The staff was also very helpful

We loved the location. We watched spotted deer and monkeys in the park which was just the other side of the road from the property. It was also very close to the park entrance which was convenient for an early morning safari. The room was spacious, clean and had a/c and hot water for a shower. The pool was a good size and was sparkling clean. The safari was well organised and had a good driver. We thought the stay was excellent value for money.
