Guest Reviews
- Riya (10/5): good stay -
- Marie (10/5): -
- Tatyana (10/5): - Одно из лучших мест, где мы остановились на Шри-Ланке.♥️
Выбор отеля был случайный, так как попали в ливень и решили переночевать в Удавалаве.🐘
Это место превзошло все наши ожидания. Абсолютно новое бунгало со всеми удобствами за маленькие деньги.🛖
Так же был организован завтрак из традиционных блюд местной кухни.🍽️
И так совпало, что в этот день я праздновала свои 40 лет 🥳 🎉 и владельцы отеля поздравили нас тортом.🎂
Спасибо большое за яркие эмоции, а теперь теплые воспоминания. Надеюсь, мы ещё увидимся!♥️🐘🐘🐘
- jeram (9/5): - i was so happy when we do this safari and the guide was so funny too
- Hanne (10/5): - De eigenaren zijn ontzettend vriendelijk & zooo lekker eten

- Franchessca (10/5): -
- Guy (10/5): Incredible stay, super nice hosts. Unreal value for money. - Pomada and Ajith were the perfect hosts. Pomada's cooking is absolutely amazing 🤩 you feel really taken care of. The Safari tour they organised with Amila was so professional and good vibes. Amila was very very knowledgeable and respectful of the wild animals. We got to see so many different animals in their natural habitat. We loved our time here:))
- van Kaathoven (10/5): Heel bijzondere ervaring - De eigenaren zijn zulke lieve mensen. Ze lieten mij de jungle tempel zien en vertelden erover. Ook regelden ze voor een goede prijs de safari. Ik mocht het tijdstip zelf kiezen ! Ik raad 1400 tot 1800 aan.
Savonds kon je mee eten en at je met de andere gasten aan tafel. Heel leuk! Het eten was heel erg lekker! Ook het ontbijt was super lekker. Hele lieve behulpzame mensen.
Het bed was heel erg prettig en het is een goede plek om tot rust te komen. Snachts en savonds is het heerlijk stil
In de ochtend kun je aapjes zien vanuit de stoel.voor je huisje! Niets !
- Kumara (10/5): - + Best experience of a stay in Sri Lanka so far. Peacefully located while still maintaining good access. Arranged a magnificent safari with a very knowledgeable guide. Made a lovely breakfast and we stayed in a charming room. All for a very reasonable price. Nothing .
- Jamie (10/5): - Best experience of a stay in Sri Lanka so far. Peacefully located while still maintaining good access. Arranged a magnificent safari with a very knowledgeable guide. Made a lovely breakfast and we stayed in a charming room. All for a very reasonable price.
- Traspedini (10/5): Il calore dell'accoglienza - La posizione ottima perché non sulla strada principale. Gli host meravigliosi ti accolgono da subito con calore e con uno squisito frappè di anguri e dolci tipici.
Abbiamo chiesto la cena e abbiamo avuto un banchetto sontuoso. La cena migliore in Sri Lanka.
Altra sorpresa la colazione!
- Martha (10/5): fantastic facilities with tips on safari - Great value! They keep the shared facilities very clean. WiFi worked well. It looked better than the pictures and the staff were amazing, Their safari was amazing and the driver was the best guide.
- Anna (10/5): Unforgettable Stay with Heartfelt Hospitality - From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. We were greeted with refreshing juice and delicious homemade muffins, which was such a lovely start to our stay. The safari was arranged for us in advance at a very fair price – the jeep was great, and our guide was friendly, experienced, and made the whole adventure unforgettable.
The hosts at the hotel were exceptionally warm and caring. In the evening, they even surprised us with some delicious curd, which was such a thoughtful touch. After our morning safari, they prepared an enormous breakfast with a variety of local delicacies that truly left nothing to be desired. They even packed the leftovers for us as a lunch package for later.
On top of that, they kindly helped organize our onward journey, making everything so easy and stress-free for us.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and memorable stay – we felt truly cared for and would love to come back again!
- Fox (10/5): best stay and best safari - Amazing stay in Madiha. Clean, comfy rooms, nice breakfast and and smiling owner who were happy to help with anything we needed. Excellent value for money.

- Isobel (9/5): Great host, comfortable bed and amazing breakfast - A quiet rustic nature chalet with the most comfortable bed and pillows of our trip so far. Our host was exceptional, great English spoken and was able to provide lots of information about the animals and the area. An amazing cook! Greeted us with cake and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Monkeys were all around and hanging out which added to the experience. If you want cheap but excellent, this is it! Booking.com states there is an outdoor pool, there isn’t
- Denise (9/5): Excellent - Location lovely. Simple but relaxing. Loved the monkeys and loved Pamoda and her husband who couldn’t do enough for us! Beautiful people. Pamoda made all the food and drink herself (traditional food). Would highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay. 🥰🥰 Nothing

- Salama (10/5): Exceptional - best for safari and accommodations
- Rose (10/5): Monkey cottage - Thank you to Aijith and Pamoda, who were so welcoming for our stay, and really looked after my brother and I.
The accommodation is indeed in the jungle and could see monkeys and wild life.
We had delicious welcome lemonade and cake and the breakfast is huge!!
Aijith and Pamoda organise a morning safari which was wonderful, we saw so many elephants. And they packed us a breakfast.
The accommodation is exceptional value for money, comfortable bed, new AC, hot water, fridge, kettle and even a hairdryer! I really like the aesthetic of the bedrooms too. And a lovely little porch to sit and relax.
Its nears some resturants too and short walk to udawalawe junction.
Thanks again! I would highly recommend. Nothing.

- Michael (9/5): Good Value For Money - This accommodation is very rustic and represents good value for money. The hosts are super friendly and kind and the breakfasts were awesome. We arranged a half day safari through the hosts and it was simply incredible and we got to see loads of elephants. I wasn't a fan of the bathroom with the floor finished in pebbles and the black paint.
- Bernd (10/5): Exceptional - This was the nicest accommodation we have ever had in Sri Lanka. The owners are incredibly hospitable without being intrusive. The bungalow with terrace was cosy, the AC was quiet and effective. It is very quiet and we almost felt like we were staying in the jungle. Next to our terrace was a small footpath into the forest. The monkeys climb around the bungalow in the late afternoon without getting cheeky. Breakfast and dinner were incredibly lovingly prepared and very tasty. We booked our tour into the national park through the owners. Also highly recommended. Once again a big thank you to the wonderful hosts. ------!
