Если едите в Удавалава, то можете смело выбирать данный отель, очень чистые и просторные номера, что редкость для Шри Ланки. Невероятно дружелюбные и отзывчивые хозяева. Ещё до нашего заселения нам сразу организовали сафари на нужное нам время, а также помогли найти дешевый транспорт до следующей точки нашего проживания. Так же в отели можно вкусно поесть за очень вменяемые деньги.
Минусов нет
Es ist wunderbar. Ein großes 1-Raum Appartment, wie auf den Fotos beschrieben. Blick in den Nationalpark. Kühlschrank, bequeme Betten, Pool. Perfekt.
La ubicación y la atención, súper amables. Además estaba todo impecable, la habitación es enorme.
A beautiful property the pool is big and safe for children. The service is excellent. We had a wonderful meal which was enjoyed by 6 adults and 2 children. Fantastic location definitely recommended. Very clean rooms just loved everything. Arranged our transportation just perfect
Nothing to dislike
Le personnel au petit soin. Un hotel juste avec 4 chambres, donc presque privatisé.
Clean comfortable room with exceptional staff
Great location right next to the national park.
Beautiful room looking into the national park. Helpful staff, great pool. The manager was very helpful, organising a private safari with a truly exceptional guide.
Everything was great.
Sehr gute lage

Everything, friendly manager, comfortable room right up against park boundary, great pool, delicious breakfast, and within walking distance of restaurants for the evening.

An amazing place! Clean, large and very comfortable rooms with a terrace view straight onto the park - you wake up to beautiful birdsong and the sounds of the forest. The pool is unbelievably nice after a safari, nestled in a gorgeous garden and perfectly clean. The staff were all so, so nice and were helpful in every way from delicious breakfasts to organising the safari to arranging transport. It's exceptional value for money and we couldn't recommend it highly enough!
Wunderschönes Hotel mit einer sehr gepflegten Anlage und einem tollen Pool. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Manager: Er ist extrem zuvorkommend, organisiert alles perfekt und ist außerordentlich hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt!
Very nice staff and excellent location
I absolutely loved Forest Dew. It is literally on the doorstep of the national park. We just sat outside and heard the jungle come alive from the safety of our balcony, which was magical. also, the staff are fantastic!! The owner extremely kindly helped me retrieve my earbuds which I had forgotten in the room, diligently handling everything to make sure I received the item safely through a courier service. Highly recommend, can't wait to go back!
Great location, friendly hosts and very well priced
The generator and AC was quite noisy overnight
Good place to stay at Udawalawa and to go to safari from there. Owner was very helpful.
Pool was under a cleanup when we were there, could be cleaner and bathroom hot water was separated and hard to use with the integrated cold water.
Přímo pod oknem je park Udawalawa. Velký bonus je bazén. Pokoj byl moderní, čistý a dobře vybavený.
Vůbec nic.
Best hotel that i was in whole mainland area in Sri Lanka. Highly recommend. Clean, good breakfast nice garden and pool, no wild dogs in the area.
Maybe some last touch needed, some electrical sockets missing, some paint job drops on the ground from wall painting.
One of the best place to stay, when visiting the Park. Go for it!
If you walk back from restaurant, you might have dogs yelling at you, so better to take tuk tuk
Great location next to the elephant transit home. Nice staff that went out of their way to accommodate us. Spacious rooms and the kids loved the pool. Breakfast was good as well, we tried the dinner, but the food is probably sourced from somewhere else and was ok, nothing special. Would recommend.
Hôtel très bien situé (proche du parc d’Udawalawe), grande chambre spacieuse et propre. Psicine bien agréable après le safari pour se détendre Personnel très sympathique et souriant
Manque de gel douche / shampooing
L’emplacement: proche du parc national et des restaurants La piscine et la vue sur le parc La gentillesse du monsieur à l’accueil
Rien du tout 😉
Ubytování hned vedle parku, ale na zvířata jsme štěstí neměli. Zato v parku jsme viděli všechna která tam jsou. Kousek od ubytování je restaurace Hungry monkey, kde měli pizzu, špagety, takže děti spokojené. Bazén velký a teplá voda. V pokoji lednice, konvice a rozpustná káva, čaj. Krásná terasa na posezení. Velmi laskavý hostitel a k snídani výborné palačinky. Určitě doporučuji.
Dveře do koupelny šly těžko zavřít. V horním pokoji byl po ránu silný zápach. Ale večer ne, asi odpady.
We had the BEST service. Dinner was fresh and delicious. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The AC was fantastic. Bathrooms were sparkling clean. Our host had attention to detail and made sure our every need was met. We loved Forest Dew and wish we had stayed longer!
Great place all the staff and owner do helpful

Vi boede 2 nætter i skønt værelse med udsigt til nationalparken (grænser op til hotelgrunden). God morgenmad og service. Dejligt poolområde vi kunne nyde efter safarien. Værten hjalp med at arrangere cooking class der virkelig var en skøn oplevelse.
Der var mange små tissemyrer på badeværelset, men nok svært at undgå.
The staff was incredible and accommodating. The manager got us our favourite brand of beer in half an hour. The room is spacious and has a huge glass wall facing the national park. We saw a lot of animals passing by.
Mulighed for sen morgenmad, efter morgen Safari
Forest Dew has lovely rooms with lots of space, comfortable beds and really good air con. Hairdryer and iron in room which was great to have. The swimming pool is lovely and we were given towels to use. Had a lovely stay there for 2 days. The hotel organised safari for us and transport to our next destination. Couldn’t have been more helpful.
The property is very well located for safari and elephant transit. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The manager kindly arranged our safari. Excellent breakfast. Good size room with large glass patio doors overlooking forest area. Swimming pool was very well maintained and great for an afternoon swim. Good value well maintained property.
Clean and spacious rooms.Good quality and delicious breakfast. Excellent attention to detail.
No lights in porch of rooms so difficult to open rooms at night.
Saubere Zimmer, freundliches hilfsbereites Personal
Clean spacious room. Very friendly staff and good location. Great to have a swimming pool as well. It was nice that we could spot some monkeys and some birds from our room. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at The Fort Hoyse and hope we come back again. The staff were fantastic, lovely colonial style boutique hotel in a perfect location. The best breakfast during our whole trip.
Nothing.
Room was fantastic. You could sit outside on our verandah as it looked directly into the national park. Huge floor to ceiling windows for another terrific view of the park. Staff very helpful. 😊😊😊

Clean and spacious room with an amazing window front and comfortable terrasse. Room has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very nice staff, clean pool and lovely garden. We really enjoyed our stay here. Location is also really good for doing Safari and visiting the elephant transit home.
Friendly staff. Very nice room with large windows, with a beautiful view on the nature park. We spotted a waterbuffalo, peacock and some monkeys from our balcony. Very nice pool. Home made breakfast was delicious. Excellent value for money.

The property looks upon the Udawalawa National park and is a beautiful view from the hotel. The pool is fab and Priyantha is an amazing manager and a great help. I spent my honeymoon here and they even did a small surprise for us.
Moc hezké ubytování s výhledem na kraj safari. Personál byl velmi milý a ochotný, bohatá servírovaná snídě byla výborná. Hezký a čistý bazén.
Ubytování je lehce dál od centra města.
环境很好,安静卫生,服务超级棒,早餐很好吃,环境优美
The room was spacious and so was the bathroom. The overall resort was very cosy and clean. We ordered dinner and the hotel staff tried to best to serve good food. The breakfast was also good.
Could have better amenities in the kitchen corner (spoon fork and some plates).
Property was lovely and clean. Pool really nice and location was close to walk to a cafe and bar but we had dinner and breakfast at the hotel which was lovely.

Kleinschalig hotel met zwembad op een geweldige locatie aan de rand van het nationaal park. Supervriendelijk personeel dat voor ons ook een safari regelde. Een wonderlijke ervaring! Nog een plusje: heerlijk ontbijt.
Niks.
Helpful staff and delicious breakfast
Location and friendly staff
Sauber, ruhige Lage, freundliches Personal.
- cooler Bslkon mit Aussicht auf den NP - sehr gute Lage
Location is very nice
Alles perfekt. Frühstück super lecker. Service perfekt. Mein Sohn und ich hatten ein ganzes Haus für uns alleine. Das Hotel ist nagelneu und super sauber. Ideal ist auch die Nähe zum Elephant Transit Home und Nationalpark Udawalawe.
Good breakfast. Excellent location. Friendly hosts. Lovely room. Swimming pool was just being finished off when we were there but looked great. No real restaurant available but restaurants nearby. You'll pay through the nose for poor fare nearby but go on to Udawalawe to find good local food at local prices. The guest house will organise safari for you.
Mooie, ruime kamers met uitzicht op het reservaat. De kans bestaat dat je wildlife ziet vanuit je kamer. Het is schoon, bed was goed, airco werkt perfect. Ontbijt was ook fantastisch. Heel veel zorg om iets bijzonders op tafel te zetten. Er is een zwembad in aanbouw, dat is een waardevolle aanvulling.
Badkamer is schoon maar oogt wat primitief ten opzichte van de kamer. Maar voldoet prima.
The breakfast was delicious - fruit plate, omelet, sausages and Sri Lanka pancake and coffee. Everything was delicious
Nothing
The staff were very kind, welcoming and helpful. They assisted us to plan the safari, made us delicious Sri Lankan breakfast and got us a takeaway. The glass wall is amazing in the bedroom as you can see right into the elephant park. Sadly we didn’t see any but caught lots of other wildlife.
We stayed two nights, and although very comfortable and lovely hosts it was one night too many as there is not anything to do in the area apart from the safari and elephant transition home.
good location for safari, nice staff, they organised a taxi to ella :)
Excellent accommodations and staff. A great large room with good AC and great WiFi. VERY quiet. They arranged a private safari for only $40 for a 4 hour 2pm-6pm event which was amazing. And so much cheaper.
Nothing bad.
Excellent staff, excellent breakfast. the manager organized our safari for us. We did everything via email and instant messaging. I must admit I was a little worried trying to organize all this from the US. But I needn't have. The safari guide was good, but a little over zealous trying to get to the best spots. We did see a lot of elephants, and crocodiles though. The elephant rehabilitation center is walking distance from this place. We stayed 1 night - arrived in the afternoon, went to the elephant rehab to see the feeding, up at 5 am the next morning for safari (guide right on time). Take a light jacket if you are doing the am safari - the drive in can be "cool". We had an amazing dinner and breakfast. But if you want to eat out there is a place between the lodge and the elephant rehab center which seems nice - next time! Overall it was very chill, exactly what we needed/wanted and well organized and will plan to stay there again if when we next visit Udawalawe. Did I mention the property has an amazing orchard. Walk around - its full of fruit trees and herbal plants! And a lot of the produce is what is served at meal times!
Very nice place. Really friendly staff.
The aircon is very difficult to control It would be nice with a shower mat
Lovely big room, really clean. Great views. Really friendly staff. An enormous breakfast. They organised a great safari.

Very lovely helpful staff
Poor Wifi , food could be better but there are good restaurants down the road
Staff were very good
Very clean all over, very kindly and helpful straff.
We had an amazing shirt stay here. The hosts were accomodating of our needs. We had an early safari and breakfast was ready for us when we returned. Our room was clean and comfortable. We both loved sitting on the back deck enjoying a quiet drink listening to the birds. Again a massive thank you for accomodating and feeding us.
You can view wild animals from your balcony. Friendly owners and spacious rooms. My favourite stay in Sri Lanka
The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The manager amasha was really pleasant and hospitable and always ready to help. Even the chef was nice and made us good breakfast and dinner. I recommend this place tonanyone
All was very good.
Everything’s great, quiet and big space, nice service and breakfast。 Thank you.

We were extremely comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to feed us, helped us get laundry done, and arranged for an AMAZING Safari with an OUTSTANDING driver/guide… We could not be more satisfied! The breakfasts were wonderful. They made us a late night snack of french fries and fruit, hit the spot!
They are working on painting ceiling in lobby
The room is excellent, clean, big. The staff was amazing. Everyone was really friendly. They organised our safari, that was really interesting, and it was good price.
Well, everything: - very supportive stuff: helped with arranging great safari tour late at night; gave advice about nice place to eat out; arranged take away snacks at 6am for the safari tour. - closed territory, with big parking area (at least 2 cars and a couple of scooters will fit there without any problem and space will remain), it has CCTV around the territory - good Wi-Fi - very spacious room and clean room with almost ideal facilities (I didn’t expect it for such price with last minute booking) - toiletry accessories were provided along with coffee and tea - all rooms face the territory of the national park, and in the morning we’ve seen buffalos - quiet place
Staff were brilliant, knowledgeable and helpful.
Shower was a little underpowered.
Chic, cozy place, spacious room with huge privet bathroom, private terrace. Very clean. The service was at the highest level, the host and staff greeted us warmly, satisfied all our requests, even moved breakfast to lunch, wich was huge and very tasty with tradional Sri Lanka dishes and juices from the their own garden fruits. Feels happy and like visiting Sri Lanka family or met old friends. I highly recommend the place definitely come back.
Huge room, very quiet at night. No mosquitos. Room has even hand towel, which is rare in Sri Lanka. Big balcony. Great location. Very friendly hosts. Breakfast is huge and very tasty juices from the fruits from their own garden.
Everything was great.
absolutely amazing place to stay in the middle of the forest and so close to the Udawalawe Nationalpark. The rooms were very big, comfortable and clean. The hotel stuff so friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend the Sri Lankan curry made by lalith, an exceptional good chef there. We will definitely come back there!
Nothing to complain really. Everything was great
