Guest Reviews

• Liesbeth (9/5): - Een mooie plek midden in de natuur. Het was een fijne ervaring om in een tent te slapen, waarbij je toch de luxe hebt van een goed bed en sanitair. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk en staat voor je klaar. Het diner was lekker en heel sfeervol op de verlichte buitenplaats.
• Leone (9/5): - Superbe nuit à Mahoora Wilpattu ! La tente est top, le diner est incroyable et très chaleureux le soir, le service est niquel, le safari est top Je recommande vivement
• Nissanka (8/5): Cozzzy safari & glamping experience - Cozy & Interesting glamping experience in Willpattu National Park. Very professional and friendly staff. Excellent food (dinner and breakfast). Clean and comfortable tents. Tents definitely need Air Conditioning and an additional fan. Pathways to the dinning area should be properly lit specially since there can be creepy crawlies. Also directions should be marked
• Jo (9/5): A really unique and memorable glamping experience with great food and activities. - The stay was fantastic, and the glamping tent itself was really impressive and comfortable. The guided walks were a great bonus and very interesting, and the food was excellent, including the breakfast they packed for our safari. Overall, it felt like a really special experience. Nothing :)
• Lucas (9/5): Comfortable safari tented camp, with staff that goes above and beyond during monkey scratch - The tent with the living room was very comfortable. For a safari camp, it’s probably the best experience you could get in Sri Lanka today. Around sunset, we saw deer on the property, as well as squirrels, many different birds and a beautiful bright green chameleon. We enjoyed the afternoon tea with local snacks and cookies, and the safari was organized very well! Amazing lunch provided and the naturalist was very knowledgeable about many animals. He even was the first out of many cars to spot a leopard and knew his hangout spots. During the safari a monkey jumped on one of us, and scratched my arm. The driver and naturalist had an emergency kit and cleaned the wound well. Afterwards, the staff (especially Larry and the driver) went above and beyond escorting me to a nearby hospital to get the rabies vaccin. Since it’s a rural area no one at the hospital besides the doctor speaks English, so this was very much appreciated. He even checked in after our stay to make sure I was fine! Dinner could be improved upon. We had no à la carte options, so every night we would join a standard menu. Both nights were chicken and shrimps, serving a lot of people with the same food at the same time. It’s 5 courses, but on the first night each time the food came out lukewarm. The second night, we told them about this and every dish following was served warm - much better!
• Vaiva (10/5): -
• Carolyn (10/5): -
• Annie (10/5): Magical - The food was exceptional along with great service from all of the staff making the stay very memorable. Nothing
• Craig (9/5): If need a minibar, tv, and AC, go elsewhere. BBB This was a wonderful, peaceful , low tech glamping experience. - Glamping safari theme and facilities were great! We would have loved a bigger and better shower in the deluxe tent but it worked well enough.
• Thibault (9/5): -
• Geert (10/5): Leuke locatie met mooie safari - Alle medewerkers zeer service gericht en alles top geregeld! Een klamboe zou het comfortabeler maken
• Sao San (8/5): -
• Gabriele (7/5): Camping mit Renovierungsbedarf🤓 - Wenn man ein Wellness Camping erwartet, ist man hier falsch. Es gibt keinen Swimmingpool, nicht immer WLAN – aber Natur pur, also wirklich schön! Die Zelte sind sehr geräumig und sauber, einfach aber ausreichend eingerichtet, allerdings ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen. So täte der sanitären Einrichtung ein Reset wirklich gut! Auch das Bett war leider sehr unbequem. Merke! Modernisierung ist nicht zwingend gegen Ökologie!! Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, beim Abendessen ist noch Luft nach oben. Am ersten Abend war das Essen kalt, am zweiten Abend war’s ok. Alles in allem stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht! Die Safari Drives waren interessant, wir haben einige Tiere zu Gesicht bekommen. Was allerdings den Übereifer angeht, wenn einer nur Leopard ruft, können wir nicht verstehen. Dass dann gefühlt 50 Jeeps sich auf einem Platz knäulen ist schon ein bisschen verrückt. Es gibt doch noch andere Tiere im Park🤓 s.o.
• Elena (10/5): - Местоположение !!! Жили в джунглях, было озеро с птицами . Вараны и белки и другая живность на территории . Накормили вкусным ланчем, все показали и рассказали. Вечером горит костер , романтическая обстановка. Вкусный ужин. В номер необходимо добавить фонарик, чтобы вечером в темноте удобно было ходить по дорожкам Очень дорогое красное вино!!! Цена не соответствует качеству.
• Charlotte (10/5): -
• Yasuhiko (8/5): サファリ前の滞在にはいい - テントでの滞在は、比較的快適でした サファリに参加するにはいいロケーションでした テント内のトイレとシャワーは、今一歩かなという感じでした
• Chloe (9/5): Magnifique campement et soirée romantique - Le cadre du campement est vraiment sympa ! Ils sont allés au bout du concept : super accueil, pause thé et biscuit dans le jardin, chemin illuminé aux flambeaux, coin dîner à la bougie, feu de camp pour observer les étoiles et les lucioles idéal et romantique. Après un mois au Sri Lanka en backpacker nous avons apprécié la prise en charge complète avec un programme (petit balade dans le village, ballade nocturne) et l’organisation des repas au top (considération des régimes alimentaires: j’ai eu un repas vegan sur demande). La tente pour deux est immense et c’est vraiment bien fait. Le safari matinal était particulièrement ennuyeux. Wilpattu n’est pas le meilleur parc selon notre expérience. Je recommande de faire seulement une nuit et un safari matinal mais ne pas faire le safari journée. L’établissement est au milieu d’un village. Ce n’est pas autant isolé comme nous l’imaginions (on entend les bruit des habitations autour par exemple musique).
• Dominique (10/5): A beautiful camp - Tent was huge, immaculate and extremely comfy! All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and huge portions. Loved this place! Nothing
• Catherina (10/5): Mega fed autentisk oplevelse - Meget autentisk og lokalt - god lokation ift. Wilpattu safaripark. Meget sødt personale og lækker mad. Det var mega fed wildlife stemning Vi elskede alt ved det - men man skal være til wildlife camping / glaming. Vi synes, det var fedt
• Artem (9/5): Great camping before safari - Very comfortable glamping near Wilpattu Park Team is very experienced, during safari we saw bear, leopard, a lot of different deers and birds. Of course it is not a hotel and tents are not new, but they have own toilet+shower, electricity and are very safe: no insects inside. It was comfortable for 1 adult and 2 children in one tent.. Excellent experience: you live like in 19th century expedition among the jungle, near big lake. We also liked night walk - very interesting for children. Food is good, but set menu. Very long awaiting time for dinner and lunch. However, for 2nd dinner team increased number of waiters and it was ok.
• Jane (7/5): Not as relaxing as we had hoped. - Lovely staff, good food and incredible birds. We didn’t realise that the place was so geared up for safaris- we thought we were just camping! But this is the only reason people go here it seems. The safari isn’t included in the price. There was loud music in the night but we thought it came from a nearby village. There were mice in the tent at night which ate through a rucksack.
• delphine (8/5): -
• Joanna (10/5): - Amazing stay and great value for money. The staff were super helpful, the tent was very clean and there was plenty to do onsite, including an afternoon walk with a naturalist. The food was absolutely amazing, one of the best meals we ever had.
• Michelle (9/5): -
• Viktoria (9/5): A Memorable Safari Experience in the Wild - Our stay was a wonderful and immersive experience surrounded by nature and wildlife. The safari itself was very well organized, and the guides were knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience truly special. The camp was comfortable and well set up, and the hospitality was excellent. Overall, a great choice for an authentic and memorable safari adventure. While the food wasn’t the highlight, it was decent.
• Vincent (10/5): -
• Anne (9/5): - Very good naturalists.
• TSUYOSHI (7/5): サファリでもう少し動物が見られたら良かったな - 夕食はバーベキューなどを想定していましたが、着席型の3コースディナーで思ったより美味しく満足でした。 グランピングテントでは難しいかもしれませんがシャワーやトイレがもう少し明るく清潔感があると良かったです。でもこの価格帯でサファリも付いていて、文句は言えません！
• Thushara (8/5): Great - We were a group of 9 people and stayed for two nights. The breakfast was excellent — the caramelised coconut pancakes were the best I’ve ever had. The staff were extremely friendly and very flexible in accommodating last-minute requests. The location is also great. Overall, it was a very good camping-style experience with comfort, especially considering the jungle setting. A perfect balance between nature and convenience. Suggestions for improvement There are currently no activities organized on site, which feels like a missed opportunity. Simple additions could greatly enhance the experience. For example, the bonfire could be much more engaging — having a guitarist play some light country or acoustic music and encouraging guests to gather around would make it far more enjoyable. They could also consider introducing activities such as bicycle rentals (or free bikes), guided village tours, or other nature-based experiences. While breakfast was excellent, lunch and dinner felt underwhelming in comparison. We were served the same starter for both meals, which became repetitive. The starters could be improved using low-cost local village produce such as cowpea and other traditional items, with better presentation. Additionally, since dinners are served in a sit-down style, the waiting time between courses was quite long. Tips for future guests Bring some board games — the property has nice breakout and common areas that are perfect for them. If you have time, visit a nearby natural water stream called Neela Bemma to bathe. It’s beautiful and clean, but check with the Eco team staff first to confirm whether the water level is suitable. The coffee is not great, so if you’re particular about your coffee, it’s best to bring your own. Not all safari guides offer the same quality experience. Try to request an experienced guide. The morning safari allows you to stay longer inside the park, but you may miss the excellent breakfast, as the packed breakfast doesn’t compare to the fresh one served on site.
• Vanessa (10/5): Beautiful environmentally friendly stay in the jungle! - We absolutely loved our stay here! The facilities were so clean and comfortable (especially for glamping) and the hospitality was incredible. The food was always delicious and plentiful and the staff when above and beyond to make sure that we were happy. There were lots of added extras that we didn’t expect like free village and evening guided walks and tea/coffee with snacks. It is also so great to see how environmentally friendly and sustainable this place is - from always using glass water bottles to using coconuts to start fires. Brilliant! I would highly recommend a stay at this memorable and special place. Nothing. Highly recommend!
• diemont (10/5): Attention to detail - Unique safari experience
• Renate (10/5): Super Erfahrung würde ich sofort wieder buchen aber dann nur 2 Nächte mit einer Ganztagssafari - essen war sehr gut, die Lage ebenfalls. Die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Safari Tagestour kann ich nur empfehlen, wenn man 2 Nächte hat. Man sieht viel mehr als auf z.B. einer Nachmittagstour. Es ist einfach mal etwas anderes und spezielles in der Wildnis in einem Zelt zu übernachten. Ich möchte diese Erfahrung nicht missen. Das Bett. Es ist ein Metallgestell mit 5cm Topper. Für jemanden mit Rückenproblemen und 3 Nächten durchaus eine Herausforderung. Aber ich habe dies vorher auch nicht recherchiert und bei Glamping ist es halt nun mal so.
• francesco (8/5): -
• Maria Elisa (10/5): A lovely glamping experience to start off pur sri lanka trip - it was so clean and great organization
• Kerstin (6/5): Zu teuer für das was geboten wird. - Das Zelt war gut eingerichtet. Das Essen war nicht gut. Das Abendessen war kalt und hat lange gedauert. Am nächsten Morgen haben wir die Jep Safari gemacht. Diese ist viel zu teuer für das, was geboten wird. Des weiteren haben wir das Frühstück mitbekommen ins Auto, da ein Frühstück im Camp zu spät sei, wenn wir zurück kommen. Es war ein extrem teures Frühstück und die Qualität war sehr schlecht. Ein warmes Getränk z.B. in einer Thermoskanne gab es auch nicht. Insgesamt war das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis für die Unterkunft und für die Safari nicht gerechtfertigt. Leider kann ich es nicht empfehlen.
• sebastien (10/5): Super experience - Super experience en nature. Tres propre et super Confortable malgre le fait que nous dormions dans une tente et que dire du repas a la belle etoile. Noubliez pas votre chasse moustique et votre lampe de poche Rien
• Carlos (9/5): Excelente Glamping! - Tienda bonita, limpia y amplia. Entorno natural. Personal excelente. El colchón era un poco incómodo. La calidad de la comida se puede mejorar. El vino tinto no se puede conservar ni servir a 30 grados.
• Verbeek (10/5): - Great place, good team
• Marije (9/5): Fijn verblijf waar je flink in de watten wordt gelegd én Wilpattu goed kan ervaren - Vriendelijk personeel, midden in de wildernis, mooie glamping tenten en heerlijk eten van de chef. Alles wat je maar wilde kon geregeld worden! De safari was ook erg speciaal. Neem wel je deet mee want er zijn genoeg insecten natuurlijk. Niets te melden!
• Anke (9/5): Into the wild! - The location in the wilderness, the bonfire, the beautiful safari tent… it was very nice!
• Tarek (10/5): -
• Joop (9/5): Top plek - Heerlijke locatie met alles wat je je maar kunt wensen.
• Guillaume (9/5): Super pour faire le safari! - Le concept est vraiment top si vous souhaitez visiter le parc de WIlpattu. Le safari est compris dans le prix de la chambre, ainsi que le dîner, ce qui ne revient pas si chère que ça au final. Les tentes sont confortables et le dîner sous les étoiles est une belle expérience. J’aurais préféré dîner autour du feu comme sur les photos. Nous étions sous une sorte de petit préau. Le dîner est très très bon mais un peu léger à mon goût. Plusieurs option pourraient être proposées.
• Roel de Haas (7/5): Nature camp site with extra's - The staff is super friendly and willing to stand out. Helping a family of four in need of extra hands. Holding umbrella's, carrying lugguage etc. Big thank you to the team! The included night bush-walk was a good bonus! Good explanation, knowledgable. The facility is a bit worn out and don't do right to the pictures online. Ofcourse, it is a nature establishment. But this can not be used as an excuse for cleanlyness or so.
• Nick (10/5): - Overall service
• Sophie (9/5): In to the wildlife - The remote area, ,well arranged safari's,the nature gide, the well arranged tent , evening atmosfeer with bon fire We missed 2 outdoor chairs at coverd terrace of tent and maybe possibility of making some coffee or tea in tent
• Ageeth (9/5): - Mooie locatie in buurt van entree nationale parc.
• Jenni (9/5): -
• Marc (10/5): - Das Camp und das Zelt sind echt cool. Das Personal ist super nett und das Abendessen um das Lagerfeuer mit der Nacht-„Wanderung“ war genial! Die Zelter waren echt gross und gut ausgestattet, dazu ist man super nahe am Nationalpark. Würden wir definitiv weiterempfehlen.
• Olivier (6/5): Prima verblijf - Het ontbijt en diner waren super! Dit was uitgebreid. Ook was het personeel erg aardig en behulpzaam. De prijs-kwaliteitverhouding was niet oké voor ons. Het is allemaal erg verouderd en niet zoals we hadden verwacht toen we de foto’s zagen tijdens het boeken. Wij waren als Nederlanders ook veel te lang voor het korte bed ;).
• Marina (9/5): -
• Emma (9/5): Amazing glamping experience and safari was magical! - Food was lovely, the staff are incredible and so friendly. Our safari that was included in our room rate was out of this world - we had a naturist guide us who answered so many questions and was constantly trying to find the best spots. We saw the Big 5 which even he was shocked about. He was SO good, honestly could not recommend him enough. The tent was clean, and much larger than we thought! They had a shared area with books and games and a water cooler which was a nice extra as it had the option for cold water! Our shower also had hot water which was nice! One tiny thing was that there must have been a hole in the tent somewhere as we had a mouse in our shower - we managed to scare him off but that was the only thing.
• Sophie (10/5): Tolles Erlebnis - Super Unterkunft, ein echtes Erlebnis, alle super freundlich, es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht. Pro Übernachtung hat man einen halben Tag Safari dabei, wir haben bei 2 Nächten eine Ganztagessafari gemacht. Unser Guide war ebenfalls super lieb und lustig, hat uns viel erzählt und uns unsere Weiterreise organisiert. Wir hatten eine echt gut Zeit. Das Essen ist auch wirklich gut und vielfältig. Die Zimmer sind sehr komfortabel ausgestattet und laden zum verweilen ein, das einzig negative ist, dass die Betten hart sind. Aber darüber kann man hinwegsehen.
• Drusilla (10/5): - L’atmosfera e l’esperienza Nulla!
• Sigrid Dogger (9/5): -
• Pepijn (7/5): Prachtige locatie en goed eten, maar in verhouding te duur - De locatie is prachtig en ontzettend aardig personeel. Het diner in de avond was ook super Ik vond de prijs kwaliteit verhouding matig. Het is behoorlijk prijzig en het is wel echt behelpen in de tent. Onze gids sprak slecht engels en zei heel weinig
• Virginia (9/5): - La tienda de glamping era muy amplia y bien decorada. La comida rica y muy abundante, especialmente el desayuno. Además, servían un té con algo de picar a las 17.30. La ubicación es fantástica, justo al lado del parque nacional, además los safaris estaban muy bien organizados. La atención del personal también es muy buena. La ducha, para ser una tienda, me sorprendió muy gratamente. Lo peor de todo fue la cama, que consistía en un somier de acero y un colchón muy fino. También habría estado bien otro ventilador en la zona de la salita del glamping, además del de la habitación. El desayuno y la comida para llevar en el safari estaban muy bien, pero el agua estaba a temperatura ambiente y con el calor que hacía era imbebible.
• Van Rhijn (8/5): -
• Geova (8/5): - La ubicación y el estilo glamping dentro de la selva. Y la comida. Tienen un personal muy agradable La falta algo tan básico como un shampoo, de nuestro baño salía agua y las alfombras se mojaron y fue un poco desagradable
• HDhessel (10/5): -
• Sergio (7/5): Experiencia agradable - La experiencia glamping, tienda cómoda y amplia, el baño mejor de lo esperado. Buena coordinación de safari por la mañana. Las actividades y horarios del día deberían estar mejor explicadas y coordinada. No coincidía con los carteles ni los horarios. Se supone que había un walking tour por la tarde y al final no había nada. A nivel ingles deberían estar más preparados con el idioma.
• ray kermani (10/5): -
• Antonin (9/5): - Super tentes confortables, délicieux dîner aux chandelles, ambiance de campement safari.
• Eric (10/5): -
• Nederpelt (8/5): - Een prachtig kamp op een prachtige plek. Het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk en doet alles wat ze kunnen om je verblijf prettig te maken. Safari ook zeer goed geregeld! Het bed lijkt een stretcher, maar dan zo'n harde. Aangezien we om 5.15 vertrokken voor onze safari hebben we er gelukkig niet lang op gelegen.
• Jonathan (6/5): Not glamping but ok if you're a seasoned camper - Location v close to wilpattu Evening meal good and nice communal atmosphere Staff v friendly as everywhere Great safari organised by hotel Whole site a bit jaded Sanitary conditions poor..open drainage outside tents..smelly! Lighting in tents inadequate
• Marco (5/5): -
• Fiona (4/5): It could be great but the safari quality they promise let it down - Situated in a beautiful space, restaurant staff are very friendly and food is lovely. U fortunately the beds were the worse I have ever slept in, in my life and o spent most of my childhood camping. It was like sleeping on rock hard wood and bars. The safari really was terrible. The guide did not speak at all and they rode past everything really fast. We kept asking them to stop but they would not. As a result the other 3 jeeps that were out alongside us saw 2 leopards and our driver drove past and refused to stop. The morning walk I was told to get up for at 6am never happened even though we booked far in advance they just had no staff to take us and left me waiting 20 minutes for it to begin.
• Jesper (10/5): - Fantastisk personale.Meget hjælpsomme og imødekommende. Super “cozy” telt beliggende i et dejligt område. Godt privat space = teltene ligger med god afstand.
• Erik (7/5): - Location, safari tents and dinner! It is close to wilpattu NP ( around 7 km) and therefor main reason we booked it!. However in the morning, around 05.00, you have tea and wait for a long time at the location instead of going to the park already. This resulted in waiting in a row for the entrance of over an hour. Finally entering the park too late, after 0700. Price of accomodation combined with tour is relative expensive!
• Keith (10/5): Lovely relaxing stay amongst nature. - Lovely people and a lovely relaxing place to stay. The food was great and served by candlelight made our stay very special.
• Fred (7/5): Bijzondere ervaring. - De beving op zich is bijzonder, alles is netjes verzorgd. Het blijft natuurlijk wel een soort van kamperen in een warme omgeving. Het diner is met zorg bereid, en smaakt top! De bedden zijn aan de krappe kant, en de badkamer ruikt erg muf, hetgeen je in (en buiten) de tent ruikt.
• Rutger (7/5): Avontuurlijk verblijf is leuke clamping tenten. - De ervaring was zeker leuk. Verzorgde safari en heerlijk eten. Het is in de ochtend zoeken naar de koffie.
• Ulrik (6/5): - Nice location, tasty food, friendly staff Rooms very warm, quite messy with the payments. What would be really nice would be to place a couple of chairs in front of each tent.
• Erica (10/5): - Il miglior alloggio in Sri Lanka! È stata una bellissima esperienza. Si respirava un’atmosfera unica. La tenda è molto grande, comoda e pulita! Tutto lo staff gentilissimo! Abbiamo fatto una cena a lume di candela, tutto superbo!
• Alex (9/5): -
• Ellen (9/5): -
• Giulia (7/5): Bello ma costoso - Location molto suggestiva vicino al parco nazionale (e per questo non facilissima da raggiungere, ma ne vale la pena). Safari molto bello della durata di 4 ore con merenda al sacco. Tenda grande con molti comfort. Staff non sempre gentile: siamo stati rimproverati per essere arrivati alle 21.15 (venivamo direttamente dall’aeroporto di Colombo!) con toni poco accomodanti, ci hanno contestato di essere irreperibili ma nessuno ci ha mai scritto su Booking. Nel complesso, il servizio + la cena + il safari non valgono la cifra spesa.
• Richard (8/5): - Natuur, rustig, schoon
• Matthias (7/5): - De accommodatie was netjes in orde, het personeel was vriendelijk en het eten lekker. De organisatie voor de uitstap naar het safaripark, was echt niet ok. Je krijgt tijd tussen 5.30u en 11.00u om op ochtend safari te gaan. Maar je moet tijdens deze tijd nog gaan aanschuiven voor de aankoop van tickets. Bij ons was dit 1,5u, we hebben dan ook aangedrongen om deze tijd toe te voegen aan onze rit door het park.
• Diego (9/5): -
• Jules (7/5): - De safari en sfeer op de glamping Na het aviind eten was er een rondleiding om ook nog dieren te spotten..echter was de groep veel te groot voor 1 gids...
• Ilona (5/5): Good glamping, terrible safari + customer service experience - The tents are nice, very comfortable and it’s a fun experience if you’ve never been glamping. The safari experience was a disaster. Firstly, they say to be ready at 5:30am and they serve tea and terrible coffee at 5:15am. But they didn’t actually put us in jeeps until almost 6:30 and then we drove to the entrance parking lot of Wilpattu Park and waited there for another hour while the drivers bought entrance tickets. They could have easily gone to the park, bought the tickets and then drove the tourists out. That’s what you’re paying a higher price for, in my opinion. Although I booked with a “guided safari,” I was put in a jeep with no guide and a driver who didn’t speak any English. It was only because another guide I found asked a family who had a guide if I could joint, which was awkward to put them on the spot like that. Luckily, they were kind. Dealing with this company had been unpleasant. They take no responsibility, admit no fault, and blame the staff at the campsite, which is just bad form and unfair. The staff showed me prof that they received guidance to not give me a guide. Anyway, if you want to glamp, go for it, but save your money and get a safari elsewhere!!
• Daniel (9/5): - We really liked this hotel. The complex is fantastic. The evening bonfire meal is an excellent touch. The tents inside are warm, as their is no aircon (only fans).
• Carla (8/5): -
• Helene Helle (8/5): -
• Shepherd (8/5): Lovely stay comfortable and different - It’s was very nice and different. The safari was seamless and good a good guide who spoke good English. We saw elephants in the distance, crocs, water buffalo’s, mongoose, hares. We didn’t see leopards or sloths. It was very expensive, it’s an experience to glamp but not sure it’s worth the price during peak season.
• Cornelia (6/5): - De safari was geweldig wat een ervaring want wij hadden het geluk 2 luipaarden te spotten. Personeel was fantastisch. Sfeer was geweldig. De bedden, wat een ramp. Veldbedden met kapot schuimrubber. Het was te heet in de tent. Maar dat kan ook door het weer komen. Zelfs met een ventilator was het niet te houden. 1 nacht is echt voldoende.
• Sandra (7/5): -

• Philippe (10/5): - L’ambiance dans la forêt. Le diner aux chandelles. Voir un léopard. Le déjeuner ds le parc avec un éléphant male au milieu du lac. La balade nocturne ds le camp. L’accueil et le thé à 5 heures.. Retard du guide de 15 min se transformant en 1 heure de retard dans le parc - mais compensé par des lieux visités l’après midi quasi déserts ́. Un peu d’imprécision dans la communication/organisation.
• Naomi (9/5): Defenitely recommended - The tents are spacious and quite luxurious. You could even have a hot shower, which I was surprised by. The staff is wonderful and so helpful. The location is perfect, quiet and in nature. For the safari, we had a wonderful time. Great guide and driver. We left on time as well. I told them I'm lactose intolerant. At dinner this was taken care of, they asked me with every meal if it was okay. But with the breakfast it was forgotten I think..
• Juliette (10/5): Séjour parfait :) - Emplacement parfait. Le personnel était très gentil et attentionné. Le safari organisé était super ! On recommande 100% :)
• Hartmann (8/5): Würde es wieder tun - Super nettes Personal und einfach ein tolles Erlebnis. Wir haben die Unterkunft inkl. einer ganz Tages Safari gebucht und unser Tourguide und Fahrer waren einfach großartig. Wir haben alle Tier mehr als einmal, dank Ihnen, gesehen :D
• Esmée (9/5): Heerlijk - Een heerlijk verblijf in prachtige luxe tenten. Verwarmde douche aanwezig. Het personeel was vriendelijk en zoegde er voor dat je een prettig verblijf ervaarde. De safari die we via hun geregeld hadden was erg goed verzorgd en kregen fantastisch uitleg van onze safari begeleider. Echt een aanrader om er bij te boeken
• Camille (10/5): Incroyable séjour à Wilpattu - Magnifique endroit, au cœur de la nature. Tente luxueuse et spacieuse. Pas de problème d’insectes avec les moustiquaires. Tea time dans l’après-midi avec biscuits et gâteaux, très appréciable. Le dîner était délicieux. Balade nocturne très instructive après le repas. Le personnel était très accueillants et chaleureux. Beau safari avec un guide et un chauffeur, pas de chance pour les éléphants mais nous avons vu de nombreux autres animaux et surtout : le léopard. Il fait chaud mais c’est une tente, un ventilateur uniquement dans la chambre, qui n’est pas de trop ! Peut être aurait il fallu un deuxième dans la première partie de la tente, pour profiter des canapés sans étouffer. Prenez de l’anti moustique pour le dîner !!
• Lisa (8/5): - Vriendelijkheid en de unieke locatie Bedden waren echt heel hard.
• Anastacia (10/5): - We traveled here as a family with our teenage sons. It was a great way to explore the Willpattu national park as they provided us with a guide and driver to identify animals. We were pampered "camping" in a large tent with attached bathroom, electricity, and beautifully prepared meals on white tablecloths. We loved our stay so much that we booked another stay with them at one of their other sites. Nothing, it surpassed my expectations
• kerryn (5/5): Would not go back there. The restaurant staff were hopeless - Safari vehicle and the guide, tent Complete confusion among staff because of two brands. Staff had no idea !! Took one hour and a half for table next to us to get their soup they ordered 3 times and we had 3 courses in the meantime
