- Nicola (10/5): -
- suzanne (9/5): Adorable hotel with lovely spacious rooms and unusual bathroom - Great spacious bedrooms with cute outdoor bathroom. Balcony overlooked the pool. The breakfast was v good, great selection and an egg bar for fresh omelette Little bit out of the way
- Susanne (7/5): -
- Nicole (8/5): We enjoyed our stay here. - We enjoyed our stay here. The luxury tent accommodation was fun. The A/C worked well. The pool was refreshing. The buffet breakfast was ok. The resident monkeys entertained us by playing on our balcony and running over our roof. The pool was a little cloudy - it could have been clearer.
- Grace (10/5): Beautiful experience - The location was beautiful and the pool was great.
The staff were lovely and helped organise our safari trip! Nothing!
- Steffen (10/5): Eine Oase der Ruhe - Traumhafte Lage oberhalb eines Flussbettes. Außergewöhnlich schöne Bungalows mit sehr geräumigem Open-Air Badezimmer. Nichts zu bemöngeln
- Audrey (1/5): - Scam beware . Option for room only is untrue he will make you pay for the safari or cancel your room
This was a scam. We booked the room only option and once we arrived the manager told us if we didn’t book the safari too through him he would cancel our rooms and we’d have to find alternative accommodation. At half 9 at night, two girls being told they would be kicked out if they didn’t comply was very threatening and made us feel very uncomfortable.
(Also no towel in one room, no sheet in the other and no WiFi but the forced safari kinda trumped those little things)
- Susanne (9/5): -
- Anastasia (10/5): -
- Najah (8/5): -
- Elsa (9/5): Agréable et reposant - Les piscines sont très chouettes et propres. Il y a beaucoup de singes dans les arbres mais c’est très choupi. Les sortes de maisons sont spacieuses, propres et agréable. La salle de bain dehors rajoute un petit plus. Le jet de la douche est très faible et la lumière le matin entre dans les chambres.
- Lasitha (1/5): The hotel is good, the food is good, the location is good, but they change the bill and increase the - I made the booking through booking.com, and the hotel didn't show me the full amount on the bill, it was the price. They made a separate bill and charged me a different amount.
- Emma (9/5): - Très bon rapport qualité prix pour un hôtel bien situé près du parc national d’Udawalawe. La piscine est un vrai plus !
- Benini (8/5): - Piscina e ristorante in loco Il personale parla pochissimo l’inglese ed è veramente difficile comunicare
- Ellaura (8/5): -
- Samuel Puškár (10/5): - Easily the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka, awesome little houses, nice pool, even the fish massage pool was fun addition. The rooms are spacious and the outdoor bathroom is so lovely and cozy. The breakfast buffet is delicious as is the rest of the food, big portions for great prices. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, after arrival we got chilled towel and a juice. Loved it!
- Colin (9/5): -
- Jakobsen (3/5): - Sweet service Very dirty shower and bathroom. No internet or connection in the room
- Ann-Marie (9/5): - Petite tente, sans air climatisé, mais confortable. La nourriture au restaurant était excellente!
- Alexandra (7/5): Perfekte Lage für die Safari - Die Lage war gut. Das Essen prima. Die Unterkunft war schön und ok. Xander unser Guide vom Hotel für die Safari war sooo toll. Viel Wissen, er kennt all die Spots und nimmt nicht die abgetrampelten Pfade. Das Bad war zwar ein OutdoorBad was ich mag, aber ich fand es nicht anmächelig.
- Robert Hayes (10/5): - This was our 6th visit think that says it all.
- Romy (8/5): - De accomodatie was in een hele mooie omgeving. We kregen koude handdoekjes en een sapje bij ontvangst. Via het hotel hadden we een safari geregeld, wat goed georganiseerd was. De badkamer was verouderd, maar wel schoon.
- Rebecca (10/5): - Super tolle Unterkunft, hatten den Pool quasi für uns. Mitarbeiter waren alle super freundlich!
Frühstück hatte ein gute Auswahl :) Cappuccino aus der siebträger musste man extra zahlen, Filterkaffee gab es aber auch umsonst.
- Levi (8/5): - Pools were nice, bed was comfy The tests were bit outworn and dirty.
- Udara (9/5): -
- Cécile (10/5): Détente dans la nature - Nous avons logé dans les cabanes vues piscine très spacieuse avec 2 lits une table une terrasse et une magnifique et immense salle de bain extérieure !
Le petit déjeuner était un buffet très bien.
Le soir le repas était très bon aussi. Super pour se poser en revenant de Safari !
- Swarnathilaka (10/5): -
- Cristina (9/5): Una estancia en plena naturaleza - El entorno, es como estar en la Selva. Las habitaciones muy cómodas
- Lasantha (1/5): -
- Iuri (7/5): Good enough, if visiting Safari - very good for short stay cockroaches in bathroom, living behind toilet. I understand that this is nature, and lizards and mosquitoes are fine, but those were cockroaches because of poor and old bathroom
- Kate (10/5): - Great stay and great staff! Safari was great
- Hannah (10/5): We loved staying here. The staff and so friendly and honest. The huts are so fun and comfortable. - Locatie Niks
- Pomodya (8/5): - Located by the main road with a bus stop very nearby, thus very convenient to reach using public transport. I booked 2 of the simple 'tent' type accomodation for 1 night and it was ok for the price. The bed was extremely comfortable and can easily get a good night's rest. Having 2 swimming pools meant it wasn't crowded so could have a relaxing swim. Fish massage pool was also there seperately. Breakfast buffet had options for vegetarians. Outdoor sitting was good since inside of tent can be cramped. The bed takes up quite a large space so can feel a bit cramped. Would be nice if there was some desk to keep little misc things, however given space limitations I don't think that's feasible. As someone who is 5'3 it was incredibly hard to switch on the hot water heater in the bathroom (it was switched off upon entering). In addition, the bathroom had an unpleasent smell that took some getting used to (but manageable with the exhaust fan)
- Miroslav (10/5): -
- Kaitlyn (9/5): - Really nice pool, comfy beds, great staff and nice food in restaurant
- Safran (8/5): - Our room was very clean, modern, and quiet. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a huge variety of options, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We feel so welcome! Definitely staying here again. On the other hand, our A/c & wifi were not working properly
- hicampbell (9/5): Great safari nature stay with amazing food and comfortable rooms - The property itself was amazing, the dinner and breakfast at the restaurant were amazing, the safari organised for us by the front desk at last minute notice was also excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the outdoor bathroom in our room, and the fish massage was an entertaining touch! It is a peaceful and beautiful stay and we would have loved to stay longer. Just a few little miscommunications with the staff - we were double charged for a drink on our bill and it was a bit of a mess to try and sort it out. In the end we said we were happy to just pay for it anyway but the female manager said she was sorting it out - though we felt that they were a little hostile with us about this situation. Also, after check in, we noticed there was some sort of animal (rat, possum?) in our ceiling making strange noises. We tried to call through to reception to ask for a change but the phones weren't working. We went to the front desk to ask about it, the same female manager said she would send someone over to check. We waited in our room for an hour but no one came. We ended up just giving up on it, but for some people it could be a bit bothersome. We still enjoyed our stay but something to be aware of with service.
- Elizaveta (1/5): הזיה - לא ממליצה את המקום הזה לישראלים!
בהתחלה הכל היה מושלם לפרט העובדים בצ׳ק אין. ברגע שנתתי להם את הדרכון שלי הסתכלו עליי בצורה הכי מסריחה שיש.
אבל הכניסו אותנו הביאו לנו את החדרים שלנו והכל היה בסדר עד שהייתי צריכה לשלם בערב.
באתי לכניסה והייתי צריכה לחזור בחזרה לחדר שלי לקחת כרטיס אחר כי מסתבר שהם מקבלים לא כל הכרטיסים. אז ברגע שחזרתי בפעם השנייה עם כרטיס אחר ראיתי פתאום עוד שלושה שוטרים. חשבתי שזה לא קשור אליי אז המשכתי ורציתי לשלם. העובד שהחמיץ פנים מקודם התחיל להגיד לי שאלה השוטרים והם רוצים ״לעזור״ לי לכן הם צריכים דחוף לדעת את הכתובת שלי בארץ בגלל המצב הפוליטי.
נבהלתי ואמרתי שאני גרה בגרמניה ושאלתי אם הם עדיין צריכים את הכתובת שלי. הם שאלו אותי שוב על הכתובת הישראלית בלבד וברגע שלא עניתי שחררו ממני.
לא הצלחתי לעצום עיניים באות הלילה כי פחדתי שיעשו לי משהו תוך שאני ישנה.
זה לא מקובל בשום פנים ואופן.
- Sarah (10/5): - What an amazing place. It's like staying in the jungle. Just incredible .
The reception team were very helpful booking our safari trip and our guide was brilliant x Nothing to dislike
- Denise (8/5): - Das Bad im Freien war für uns ein Highlight.
Die Angestellten waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
- Meryl (8/5): Très bon rapport qualité prix. Excellent pour dormir une nuit mais ne pas avoir peur des animaux - La piscine, la nature, le côté atypique de la chambre Les animaux rentrent tous dans la chambre, écureuil, souris, grosse araignée
- Kristiane Søvde (9/5): -
- Claudio (9/5): -
- Blanche (10/5): - Glamping in tent style rooms 🥰 Very nice facilities, pool & restaurant 👌 Safari was very cool, lots of beautiful elephants 💓
- Natalie (9/5): Highly recommend - This was the perfect place to stay!! Great pool, beautiful rooms & nice restaurant. They organised safari at very reasonable price. It would be good to be able to purchase some simple snacks from a kiosk facility.
- Sachin (7/5): -
- Jay (10/5): - Superb place.
Lovely staff, great food.
- Ryan (8/5): Great place to stay for national park - This was a perfect place for us to stay to visit Udalawawe national park. We stayed for 2 nights to do morning safari and then relax by the pool in the evening. The resort is lovely with 2 pools, a restaurant and a fish massage pool which was hilarious to try. Our room was really spacious and had a/c and a fridge which was needed after a hot day. Lovely big outdoor bathroom! Lots of visits from the chipmunks which were cute to watch. The restaurant was really reasonably priced and big portions of Sri Lankan rice and curry. Also a short distance into town if you want to explore further. Good bar called the Chill Inn for great views of the mountains at sunset.
- Steffen (9/5): Ich würde wiederkommen. - Tolle Zelte. Gutes Frühstück.
- Emma (7/5): A Unique Stay - Kottawata Village is a truly unique place to stay. Sleeping amongst the coconut trees and watching monkeys play overhead while you swim is the kind of experience you simply don’t forget. The staff were great, attentive and made us feel genuinely welcome, the food was delicious with a good selection of local options Our one note would be that the rooms are a little tired in places and could do with some freshening up
- Tamara (10/5): Amazing ☺️ - We had by far our most luxurious stay here during the four weeks we were fortunate enough to spend on this incredible island. The hotel complex fully meets European standards. Everything is impeccably clean, the service is exceptionally attentive, and the English is excellent. The pools are perfect for relaxing, and the entire property is beautifully designed and very well maintained.
- Philipp (10/5): - Tolles offenes freies Bad, schöner Pool, freundliches Personal, top Frühstück, nettes Bungalow.
- Maximilian (8/5): - Very comfortable bed and great Safari, a bit unlucky with the animal sightings that day but we had an amazing driver who went above and beyond to try to give us the best experience and make the most of it! Welcome and goodbye drinks at the reception. A few animals in the tent but that’s to be expected in the jungle. We did not mind.
- DOURBIAS (4/5): -
- Michaël (8/5): Séjour agréable ! Le safari dans le parc s’est très bien passé et nous avons pu voir de nombreux animaux. - Le petit déj proposait beaucoup de choix et était très bon 🙂
- Laura (9/5): Absolut empfehlenswert - Schöne gepflegte Anlage, der Pool war sehr schön und ruhig, das WLAN war mehr als gut. Die Safari war top organisiert, wir hatten einen super Guide der sich richtig Zeit genommen hat. Da wir dann zu spät fürs Frühstücks Buffet kamen, haben die Mitarbeiter im Restaurant uns ein eigenes kleines Buffet aufgetischt. Da unsere Pläne sich spontan geändert haben, wollten wir am Anreisetag von zwei auf eine Nacht verkürzen und auch das war absolut kein Problem.
- Idgit2neal (10/5): - Everything was fantastic and the food in the restaurant was amazing.
Everything was arranged for us and the staff were exceptional.
Special thanks to Santa our safari driver and transfer driver, who took us from the resort to Ella. Nothing, everything was amazing.
- Calvin (9/5): -
- Aeneas (7/5): A comfortable hotel for safaris in Udawalawe - The hotel is perfect for Safari trips in Udawalawa. The most Safari provider can pick you up there. The tents where spacious. There is a pool outside for the afternoon since there is not much to do in town except Safaris. The surroundings of the hotel are beautiful with lush green spaces. The bathroom is outdoor and very clean. The location of the hotel isn't great. You have to walk along a dangerous street with little light and no space for pedestrians to get to the restaurants of Kottawatta. The isolation of the tent is horrible, we had to let our AC run throughout the day to have a cool tent in the evening. The AC was necessary against mosquitoes because the mosquito net already had holes in it. At the same time the AC is very loud (sometimes more, sometimes less. When you start to fall asleep, it will probably get louder and wake you up again), so it is not very comfortable to sleep with AC on.
Don't pack breakfast from the hotel, it tastes awful and is too much. We had to throw away way too much food in the end.
- Amanda (9/5): Great stay for visiting udawalawe park. Lodges fabulous . - Beautiful room with outside bathroom. Swimming pool lovely and staff helpful.
- Tarek (10/5): Jungle escape - Great rustic style stay surrounded by nature. The cabins are clean and comfortable, and the pool view cabin with an outdoor bathroom is a unique experience that really connects you with nature. The bathtub overlooking greenery and the sky is amazing (just watch out for a few insects 😂).
The whole place feels like a true jungle escape. You can hear and see birds and animals all around. We even had a hornbill visit our bathroom one day! At night, outdoors or in the pool, the sounds make you feel like you’re deep in the wild.
It’s a perfect spot for a safari stay, as they organize trips to the national park. Our guide, Navidu, was amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable.
Breakfast was very good, and the restaurant meals were excellent too. The team overall is kind and helpful. Definitely a worthwhile experience! AC needs to be stronger
- Knapik (10/5): Wyjątkowe miejsce w genialnej cenie. - Byliśmy zaskoczeni jaki to piękny wygodny obiekt przy tak niskiej cenie! Przeszklone śliczne domki, łazienki jak w dżungli - pod chmurką, ale bardzo czyste i super wyposażone, duży super zadbany basen dosłownie przed domkiem, przemiła obsługa no i restauracja…. Ceny jak 1/3 tych na wybrzeżu a jedzenie doskonałe :D ogromne krewetki, chicken masala, każde danie było świetne. Oprócz tego super kontakt mailowy, bezproblemowe ogarnięcie safari - świetne miejsce, bardzo polecam. Wszystko było super.
- Stanislas (8/5): Tentes toutes accolées sous grand porche un peu surpenant au début, mais correct, sinon top -
- Wojciech (10/5): - Polecam
- Joanne (9/5): A great experience bringing the outdoors in. - The lodges and location were amazing. A real great experience. Nothing.
- Łukasz (10/5): -
- Jane (8/5): Close to Udawalawe for the safari , lovely setting and food. - The style of accommodation was quirky.
The setting was great
Food was also very good We had a storm and could’ve done with a broom for the bathroom as it filled with leaves etc.
Access to an umbrella would’ve help getting to the restaurant
- Vanessa (10/5): -
- fabrice (9/5): Parfait - Parfait Rien
- Barbara (8/5): -
- Marco (10/5): -
- Sven (8/5): - Schöne grosszügige Hotelanlage im Grünen, schöner Pool, Frühstück war prima
- Sarah (10/5): Really great design and very sympathetic to the environment. Restaurant staff were particularly good - Breakfast was great - good options for traditional Sri Lankan breakfast as well as for fussier kids!
Loved the proximity to wildlife and the view of the forest from the deck of our rooms!
Great natural environment and wonderfully designed. Only very small complaint was that the photographs I could see are only of the more deluxe tents and the only option I was presented for booking was the standard tents - maybe because I have a larger family? In any case we were initially a little disappointed because we’d been expecting the fancier rooms and I would have liked the option to select those at booking.
Great price though so no complaints there!
- Lorna (1/5): Hated this place beyond belief - Nothing I booked this on the basis of the reviews and all I can say is they must have been made up. The tents were as far from luxurious as you could get. Dirty mosquito nets which didn't go down to the bottom of the bed. My air conditioning didn't work at all and I had to be moved. My friend's air conditioning unit leaked all over her bed and she had to be moved. The place just felt extremely shabby. Even though we had to pre-order dinner for a specific time we had to wait 45 minutes for sub-standard food (basically a bowl of rice with 1 shrivelled up and dry chicken skewer). The staff were surly and completely disinterested (apart from a young man in the restaurant whose name I think begins with 'Sh'. He was lovely). One positive (and the only one) was the elephant safari we went on, organised by the hotel. The driver was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife and whizzed us to the best viewpoints of the elephants. Overall, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Please don't ignore this review
- Audrey (1/5): - Scam beware . Option for room only is untrue he will make you pay for the safari or cancel your room
This was a scam. We booked the room only option and once we arrived the manager told us if we didn’t book the safari too through him he would cancel our rooms and we’d have to find alternative accommodation. At half 9 at night, two girls being told they would be kicked out if they didn’t comply was very threatening and made us feel very uncomfortable.

Very nice safari vibe, good restaurants around to walk to.
- Paula (10/5): Safari und Unterkunft super - Zum 2. Mal in der Unterkunft und genauso perfekt wie beim 1. Mal. Das Schlafen in den Zelten ist was ganz besonderes, die Anlage ist super schön und die Safari mit der Unterkunft perfekt
- Szilveszter (8/5): SuperWorthy - Perfect for their price.
Wonderful breakfast🌸
Bathrooms are amazing. We loved this place.

- SOUVAARNA (9/5): Dreamy nature escape - The room was spacious , well equipped. Good welcome at the reception. The outdoor but private showers were a fun experience. Enjoyed in the pool , relaxed on the hammock and swing. The property is really beautiful with greenery all around. Large selection of food offered at the breakfast buffet. 4km from the elephant transit home and safari planning done at the hotel itself. The dinner served at the restaurant was disappointing.
- Gregory (10/5): Beau resort - Les 2 piscines
La grande chambre
La balcon avec vue sur la jungle et les singes
Le rapport qualité prix Les serrures des portes ne sont pas très sécurisés surtout celle donnant sur la jungle
Il n’y a pas eu de problème mais
Du coup bon j’avais mon passeport avec moi
- Christian From France (10/5): - Nous avons séjourné 2 jours dans cette hôtel et avons apprécié le calme, la propreté et le personnel tout était parfait ,je recommande Peut être les toilettes a ciel ouvert pourraient être un petit peu plus isolées par une cloison simple en bambou pour un peu plus d'intimité, mais cela ne nous a pas vraiment gêné.
- Pascale (8/5): - Endroit insolite, au milieu de la nature, belles prestations. Les repas proposés assez basiques
- Sebastian (10/5): - Es gab 2 Pools, gute Restaurants in der Nähe, die man leicht zu fuß erreichen konnte, die Safari war echt gut und preislich voll gut und es gab auch keine Probleme bei einem verspäteten Check Out weil unsere Safari so lange gedauert hat.
- Lorenz (8/5): -
- Anthony (9/5): I would recommend this place, safari tour was arranged for us when we checked in, the staff were amazing and we didn’t w - This place exceeded expectations, the staff were amazing, the pool area was perfect and the on site restaurant amazing! Nothing
- Michal (7/5): -
- Nina (10/5): -
- Tobias (9/5): Schöner Aufenthalt - Nachdem unser Zimmer defekt war wurde uns sofort ein anderes Zimmer mit kostenlosem Upgrade angeboten. Beim Check out bekamen wir sogar noch einen Rabatt.
Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Frühstück war sehr reichlich.
- Noemie (10/5): - Piscine sympa. Petit déjeuner très bon. Terrasse sympa
- OLIVIER (9/5): Endroit très agréable pour se reposer après le safari. - Lieu très calme, chalets autour de la piscine. Petit déjeuner, bar et resto très bien. Personnel sympathique. Proposition de taxi par l’accueil pour se rendre à Tissa, prix très élevé, n'hésitez pas à voir ailleurs. Sinon safari très bien.
- Deborah (9/5): -
- KAREN (10/5): - Great value, feels like a luxe resort, not budget. Lovely pool in tranquil setting. Good on site restaurant, very tasty food. Exciting safari with knowledgeable courteous driver. . Good service and prompt communication from Mallee the manager.
- Dale (10/5): - An enchanting location surrounded by nature with a large and exceptional swimming pool. The room is clean, and the outdoor bathroom adds a touch of rustic charm. The food at the restaurant is excellent, and the breakfast buffets are well worth it.
It's the perfect base for a safari in the national park, but beware: some drivers try to scam you by paying the entrance fee themselves at the park gate and demanding more than the actual price. Be vigilant. Get out of the Jeep yourself to pay the entrance fee by credit card or cash.
