Guest Reviews
- Ryzhoholova (10/5): - Милий будинок з привітними господинями, який оточений рослинністю. Тихий куточок, де можна засинати зі співом пташок. А на ранок милі дівчата приготують сніданок прямо в саду. Це була дуже спокійна зупинка. Було декілька мурах, які пролізли в щілини, але гадаю через розташування в саду з цим нічого не зробити.
- Gerard (10/5): - Its a very wonderful place to stay.
Its calm and quiet nature is relaxing to the mind.
- Marie229 (10/5): - One of the best accommodations we had in Sri Lanka!
It was recommended to us by our safari guide and it was just amazing. We asked for a place to swim around the area and our host took us to a river for a swim and made sure we had a great time. We got food made from the family as well, which was amazing as you have the place to yourself. They even showed us their private garden and explained every Fruit and tree to us.
The room was clean and spacious as well. We were late from our safari and they were really nice about it. In the end we checked out way later than we were supposed to.
I would have loved to stay another night.

- Dharmawansa (9/5): Nice and calm place. - Environment ,interior ,Bath room Foods are little expensive for local people
- Guest (10/5): Unbeatable hospitality surrounded by nature with some incredible food. A hidden gem - The family were very welcoming and attentive. The location was beautiful, surrounded by nature.
The family went above and beyond when feeding us. It also tasted incredible.
They also went the extra mile and showed us around the area and to their local river.
- Michele (10/5): Angolo di paradiso - La famiglia ha realizzato un angolo di paradiso: hanno costruito una struttura in mezzo al loro bananeto e hanno poi abbellito il con vialetti e piante.
Hanno poi costruito una capanna dove ci hanno preparato un’abbondante cena e un’ottima colazione.
Inoltre la mattina le due sorelle e la loro madre ci hanno accompagnato a scoprire un luogo bellissimo che è il fiume che scorre poco distante.
Siamo stati benissimo e loro sono una famiglia meravigliosa
- Guest (10/5): - The breakfast was simple yet delicious! The noodles with dhal and coconut sambol were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Also, the location is peaceful and convenient—perfect for a relaxing start to the day. It’s a much better place than we expected.
- Derry (10/5): Heavenly! - This place was a little slice of Sri Lankan heaven! We arrived on their doorstep last minute (our other booking was apparently full) to be met by the warmest sisterly reception! The accommodation was amazing, extremely clean, best beds we have slept in so far and the surroundings are tranquil. Nothing was too much for the family from cooking us delicious dinners and breakfasts, arranging our safari with a lovely guide, doing our washing and even taking us down to the local river.
They are a new place so not so many reviews yet but if you book here you will not be disappointed. Nothing
- Ugo (10/5): Super room / super food / people super friendly / super garden - Everything Nothing
- Michael (10/5): Adorable jungle cottage, great location close to the national park - We took a chance on this place since there were very few reviews, but we are very glad we did. They only have one room on their property (hence the low review number) but we would definitely stay here again.
This adorable property is nestled in the heart of the jungle, yet a very short walk to the main road. Perfectly located to get to the Uduwalawe safari. Helped us coordinate a driver to our next destination at a reasonable price. Really enjoyed the milk tea. The owners were very kind and accommodating, really going out of their way to help us have a memorable stay. It would be nice to have a bit more variety for the breakfast, and more complimentary water bottles, but really not a big deal.
- Yasirah (10/5): Great hospitality service, friendly atmosphere, delightful dining experience and a peaceful stay ❤ - Delightful traditional dining experience and friendly atmosphere..
- Krishanth (8/5): Very good - A quiet, beautiful place with no hassle.
- Lalith (9/5): Superb - ඉතාමත් නිස්කලංක ස්ථානයක්. ආගන්තුක සත්කාර ඉතාම ඉහළයි. ආහාරපාන ඉතා ප්රණීතයි. පවුලකට නිදහසේ දවසක් ගතකරන්න හොඳම ස්ථානයක්. ගෙවන මුදලට වඩා වැඩි යමක් මෙතනින් ලැබෙනවා. ඕනෑම කෙනෙකුට ඉතාමත් ඉහළින් නිර්දේශකරනවා.
Thais is a very peaceful place . Hospitality is very high. Best please for family day out. You can get more than what you pay for here. Highly recommended.
- Harshika (8/5): Very good -
- Arun (9/5): Best hotel - This hotel is the best.The interior of the hotel room as well as the natural surroundings are very clean and beautiful.The staff were very friendly with us.Our safari tour was also very amazing and the safari package was very reasonable.The dinner and breakfast we had were very tasty and fascinating.We had the opportunity to spend a very peaceful evening as this hotel is located in a very quiet place.So we spent the day very well and comfortably in this hotel.And if we come back to Udawalawe,we would definitely like to stay at this hotel and have that experience
