We had a superb time.Super clean,Nice quiet,Friendly staff and delicious food.We Spent 2 nights.Thanks for your fabulous hospitality.
Todo estaba nuevo, la piscina climatizada
Amazing pool and friendly owner
Lovely, pool absolutely amazing. Breakfast fabulous. Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Charming cabins with everything you need for a stopover before visiting the safari park. Breakfast is fresh and filling, the pool is clean, and I recommend you book your safari driver through the hotel - we didn’t, our island driver arranged ours and it cost more.
We did the safari organised by the hotel which was great. Good aircon and large room, large pool.
There were a few things we didn’t love and we wouldn’t stay here again - firstly upon arrival the aircon and mini fridge in the room were off so the room was really hot. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast after our safari - we were asked to pre order our meals (which we found was not unusual at smaller hotels in Sri Lanka) however food was at dinner and breakfast was cold / clearly not fresh and we weren’t offered drinks. There is no air con in the restaurant (the restaurant is new so assuming they may install air con in the future) and lots of flies. At breakfast we explained we don’t eat diary / eggs as we are vegan and were served eggs.
The hotel was located perfectly, just a short drive to Udawalawe National Park. We had a morning safari booked with a separate company, but the hotel gave us a packed breakfast to take with us which was a nice touch. They also understood and catered well for dietary requirements (gluten free) for the breakfasts which was much appreciated. The rooms were clean and comfortable with aircon and huge bathrooms. The hotel also has a lovely pool with sunloungers to relax on.
Het zwembad en de kamer waren top! We hadden een eigen mini huisje rond het zwembad op een kleinschalige locatie. De kamer was ruim met binnen ook nog een bankje om te zitten. Ook de safari was goed geregeld! Voor de safari kregen we bananen, crackers en water mee en na de ochtendsafari kregen we uitgebreid ontbijt.
Er waren wat kiertjes in het huisje waardoor muggen/insecten/gekkos binnen konden komen maar door de klamboe was dit geen probleem.
Schöne kleine Anlage mit wunderschönem großen Pool. Sehr leckeres Sri Lanka Frühstück!
Wir waren eine Nacht in der Unterkunft für eine Safari im Udawalawe Nationalpark. Die Safari wurde vom Hotel organisiert und hat reibungslos funktioniert. Danach gab es noch ein leckeres Frühstück, insgesamt eine sehr positive Erfahrung! Die Anlage und die Häuser sind toll eingerichtet. Der Pool bietet Möglichkeit zur Entspannung vor und nach der Safari. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Nichts zu erwähnen, alles positiv.
Das Zimmer im 1. Stock war groß und hatte einen tollen Ausblick in die schöne Anlage und auf den großen Pool. Das Frühstück war lecker und abwechslungsreich. Die organisierte Safari war unglaublich schön und wir haben viele Elefanten gesehen.
Uns hat alles gefallen.
Everything! The staff were incredible which just made the lovely hotel even more special.
Great property in a good location. Clean and comfortable. Nice pool. Safari was good but driver/guide knew only a little about birds.
Restaurant was new and had no air conditioning so was not very comfortable.
Het zwembad, de vriendelijkheid, schone kamers en de liging
Niets
Close to the elephant transit home. Very nice pool and room. Great breakfast.
Alles sehr schön und das Essen super lecker. Tolle Safari gehabt und allgemein eine super Unterkunft
Beautiful small resort by the national park with a lovely pool to relax in, great room and lovely staff that went out of their way to help us every time we needed anything, even letting us check in early when we arrived from the airport. We booked a safari with them as well, a great experience with a really good driver/ guide and good value.
The shower didn’t provide much hot water, but that’s a minor thing considering the location.
Lovely accomodation, pool, location and staff.
Great detached bungalow room with a lot of space and front terrace with outdoor seating. The pool was great and breakfast was lovely, which we had as a takeaway on our early safari!
Het huisje is prima, wel basic, maar netjes afgewerkt. Alles wat je nodig hebt zit er in! en het zwembad is erg fijn. Het personeel helpt je goed met de safari
Het linnen, zowel van het bed als de handdoeken waren niet zo fris, veel vlekken en gaten. Verder was het eten niet heel erg lekker. Prima, maar niet heel lekker in vergelijking met andere srilankaanse ontbijtjes en avondeten. Voor deze prijs vonden we dat het linnen wel echt op orde moest zijn
Hébergement confortable au RDC et bien placé face à la piscine. Piscine très propre et environnement calme et verdoyant. A quelques pas de la rue principale où plusieurs restos pour dîner. Bon petit déjeuners copieux. Ils nous ont organisé un safari au dernier moment à notre arrivée ! Nous avons vu plein d'éléphantaux. Dommage que certaines voitures s'approchent trop près...
Very nice and comfortable rooms, kind staff,beautiful pool and plentiful breakfast . a solid choice in Udawalawe
The only thing was that the towels were stained .They were clean but stained and thats a place og improvement. We would stay again anyway
A great place to stay for safari - the staff were super helpful organising our jeep and transfers! The room was huge and really comfortable, and the pool was a great bonus. The property is well designed and feels like a little oasis.
Great location to excursions and amenities! Lovely staff, able to help us with travel plans and day trips!
Poolside and the Garden
Struttura molto comoda e vicina se si vuole fare il safari. Camere abbastanza pulite. Tutto sommato bene
Peccato per la colazione, non c’era scelta dolce ma solo salata.
Personal war sehr freundlich, Pool war sehr schön und sauber, Zimmer waren sauber u groß, Wlan hat super funktioniert
Die kleinen Bungalows waren bisschen hellhörig
The property is very beautiful, with a swimming pool surrounded by nature. The rooms could be better equipped, but considering the price paid, it was absolutely fine. We also had dinner there one evening and the traditional, home-style food was excellent
Credit card payments are subject to a 3% surcharge, which was not communicated in advance. It’s a small amount, but greater transparency during the booking process would be appreciated
Besonders gut gefallen haben uns das sehr große Zimmer sowie die hervorragende Sauberkeit der gesamten Unterkunft. Auch die Pool-Anlage ist äußerst gepflegt, sehr sauber und ein echter Blickfang. Ein großer Pluspunkt ist die Möglichkeit, die Safari im Udawala-Nationalpark direkt über die Unterkunft zu buchen. Die Organisation war unkompliziert und hervorragend: Man wird direkt von der Unterkunft abgeholt und nach der Safari auch wieder dorthin zurückgebracht. Als kleine Empfehlung für andere Gäste würden wir raten, die Safari in einer Gruppe zu buchen, da so die Anzahl und Frequenz der Trucks im Nationalpark reduziert werden kann. Insgesamt eine sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft mit gutem Service und durchdachten Angeboten für Ausflüge.

Położenie - blisko na Safari
Chambres spacieuses, propres et bien entretenues, avec une salle de bain impeccable et agréable. Bâtiments confortables, blocs à deux logements, au chaud et bien agencés. Personnel agréable et attentionné. Dîner sur place de qualité avec buffet typiquement sri-lankais (riz, poisson, poulet). Piscine et cadre très sympathique, idéal pour se détendre après un safari.
Rien de majeur à signaler, l’hôtel a répondu à nos attentes.
Nous avons passé moins de 24 heures sur place, il est donc difficile de donner un avis très détaillé. Cependant, notre séjour a été agréable. La piscine est très belle et l’endroit est proche de la nature. La réservation du safari était facile et le safari en lui-même était exceptionnel.
En point négatif, la literie n’était pas du tout agréable et le système de douche était compliqué à utiliser
Gorgeous pool, friendly staff, great location
It was in close proximity of the sights.
Mattress was a little hard.
Zuvorkommendes, nettes und hilfbereites Personal. Sehr sauber und toller Pool. Die Safari vom Hotel aus war super und zu einem fairen Preis. Auch der Transfer, sowohl zum Hotel, als auch zum nächsten, waren too. Restaurants und Geschäfte sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Trotzdem eine ruhige Gegend
La piscine et le petit déjeuner local.
Ancien établissement qui visiblement aménage de nouveaux bâtiments supplémentaires…
Very friendly and helpful staff, great pool.
No beer, however great food.

THEY CANCELLED OUR RESERVATION ON THE DAY. We booked the day before while planning our one-night trip to Udawalawe and chose this place because it looked great in the photos. However, on the day of arrival, while we were waiting for our taxi, we received a message cancelling our reservation as they had already given the room to someone else and “forgot” to update it on Booking. They offered to move us to another place, but we had no confidence it would meet our expectations, so we were forced to find alternative accommodation at the last minute. Although they apologised, this is extremely disappointing and unacceptable for a professional business. If you are a flexible traveller booking last minute, I strongly suggest avoiding this place.
Nice swimming pool. Accommodation was nice and clean.

Schöne Hütten, sehr nettes Personal, reichhaltiges leckeres Frühstück und ein schöner großer Pool mit Liegen drum herum
Das WLAN war nicht so stabil
Peaceful location to relax after safari. Close to the elephant transit home well worth a visit! Lovely clean pool, comfortable bed/rooms, hot shower! Recommend eating at the restaurant, tastiest food we tried in udawalawe and nice social set up to meet and chat to other travellers - we wished we could stay longer! Rasika was such a lovely host as well, staff very helpful and arranged onward transport and allowed us a slightly late checkout.
The safari was great seeing lots of elephants and wildlife, but the vehicle was quite worn out with broken seats and not the most comfortable.
Really nice cabins with beautiful pool area. Quiet location.
Nothing able to get hot water for shower
Great room, pool, people and area around. Organized safari.
Pretty far from center, breakfast could be bit better. Good anyways
Lovely staff who were extremely helpful. The bedroom was very comfortable. There's a brilliant pool area where you can relax after your safari. Our Sri Lankan breakfasts and evening meal were plentiful and delicious. We booked our safari through the hotel and it was great value. If time allows for your itinerary this is a great stop linked to your safari.
Ystävällinen palvelu ja ihastuttava paikka. Kaikki järjestelyt sujuivat hienosti ja ongelmitta. Voimme lämpimästi suositella!
Upea uima-allas ja muutenkin hotellialue siisti. Illallinen ja aamiainen olivat hyviä vaikka tila oli rajallinen, muttei asiakkaitakaan ollut paljon, kun huoneitakaan ei ollut kuin kuusi.
Meistä kaikki toimi.
Tolle Unterkunft mit ganz tollem Pool! Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Safari ist über die Unterkunft möglich. Wenige Minuten entfernt gibt es Restaurants zum Essen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen.
Sauberkeit Schoner Pool Nettes Personal Gutes Frühstück
Safari Tour Guide hat leider kein Englisch gesprochen, was die Tour etwas uninteressanter gemacht hat. Jeeps waren alt und viele Dinge defekt Ich hätte erwartet, dass eine über das Hotel gebuchte Tour etwas qualitativ hochwertiger ist
Pensjonat utrzymany w dobrym stanie. Pozytywnie oceniam lokalizację. Bardzo fajny basen. Personel bardzo miły i życzliwy.
Close proximity to the national park, we were able to organise an excellent safari through the accommodation. The room was clean and a good size.
The food was unremarkable and the staff felt a bit like salesman trying to include add ons to the stay.
De kamers zijn heel ruim en modern ingericht. De badkamer is schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het zwembad is heel groot en schoon, heerlijk om af te koelen na de safari die we via de accomodatie hebben geregeld. We kregen voorafgaand aan de safari wat bananen, crackers en water en bij terugkomst stond het ontbijt voor ons klaar. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en gevarieerd. Alles bij elkaar was het een heel fijn verblijf!
De handdoeken die we kregen waren helaas niet zo schoon en zaten vol met vlekken.
Mooi zwembad.
Het eten viel tegen qua ontbijt en diner. Maar het diner kost ook maar €6 per persoon.
Super schöner Pool und nettes Personal. Das Essen war auch sehr lecker!
Die Dusche war etwas nervig aber eigentlich nicht der Rede wert.
Property is fantastically located; close to the Elephant Transit, National Park and the much recommended & must do Ceylon 1850 Cooking Class. Property is brand new, sparkling clean & extremely comfortable, bed/pillows included. Facility’s pool is a massive bonus. Breakfast was wonderful & plentiful. We also opted to have dinner at the property on the first time, again wonderful. Staff are extremely welcoming & attentive. They organised an all inclusive Safari Tour, which was top notch (additional guide wasn’t required). In addition, they organised a well-priced private driver to the Madunagala Hot Springs. This property is highly recommended.

Friendly staff is
Staff were amazing and very attentive. We were provided with snack box to have early in the morning due to early safari and breakfast was served when we got back and it was great. Such a variety of food. Staff couldn’t do enough for us, carrying bags and even letting us stay a little longer past check in time so we could get showered. Hotel grounds were lovely and pool was amazing especially to go in at until around 21:00
Nothing. Everything was amazing. Would definitely return if in area.
Mooie kamers, fijn zwembad, lekker eten
Niets
L’hôtel est situé proche du parc national. La piscine est très agréable et bien entretenue. Les chambres sont spacieuses et propres et ont tous les équipements nécessaires. Il est possible d’organiser un safari avec l’hôtel +- 50€ par personne, une jeep est venue nous chercher à l’hôtel et nous y a ramener après le safari. Le personnel est très sympa.
Nous avons eu un petit souci avec la chasse d’eau mais celui ci allait être réglé et ne nous empêchait pas d’utiliser la toilette. Le personnel a directement réagit lorsqu’on l’a prévenu.
War ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Sehr nahe am Elefantenwaisenhaus
Goede prijs kwaliteit. Schone en nette kamer. Mooi zwembad. Hele goede safari. De chauffeur spotte veel dieren, zelfs een jungle cat.
Er zit niet veel in de buurt dus het hotel bood een diner aan. 6$ p.p. Wij vonden het niet heel bijzonder en hebben beter gegeten in Sri Lanka. Maar dit hotel moet je vooral boeken voor de fijne kamer, zwembad en goede safari
Very friendly staff and amazing pool
Recomiendo este hotel 100%. Hotel nuevo, piscina muy bonita. Mucha tranquilidad en el hotel. Cena muy buena. Uno de los mejores hoteles que estado en Sri Lanka.
Het eten was heerlijk klaargemaakt. Vriendelijk en zeer behulpzaam personeel. De kamers waren werkelijk top! Wij hadden een kamer met uitzicht op het mooi aangelegde zwembad. Een mooie uitvalsbasis voor een Jeep-safari. De medewerkers van The Countrysite helpen je er graag bij.
Eigenlijk is ons helemaal niets tegengevallen op deze plaats.
Wij hebben een superleuk en aangenaam verblijf gehad! Mooie lodges en een groot zwembad. Personen ook heel vriendelijk. Dichtbij de ingang van het park, mooie safari gedaan die zij ook regelden. 👌🏼
Muy agradable, muy rico el desayuno, cerca del safari
Der schöne große Pool und das schöne Bungalow hat uns super gefallen. Das Personal war auch super freundlich u zuvorkommend. Alles super. Wären gerne länger geblieben.
Nichts
Sehr schöne gepflegte Anlage mit tollem Pool. Wir hatten eines der neuen Häuschen und es gab gar nichts auszusetzen. Alles war super sauber, modern und gemütlich. Das ganze Team war sehr freundlich, bemüht und hat tolle Tipps gegeben, was man außer Safari noch machen könnte. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und lecker. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.
La simplicité. La gentillesse des hôtes. La proximité de toutes les activités d’Udawale. La piscine.
RAS
Tout était parfait, les chambres sont tres confortables, la piscine est top. Le personnel d’une grande gentillesse. Petit déjeuner très copieux ! Parfait pour faire le safari qui est à deux pas.
Un peu à l’écart pour déjeuner ou dîner à l’extérieur à pied mais pas gênant.
The staff couldn't do enough
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I must say it was an incredibly quiet and relaxing experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the calm and serene atmosphere. The surroundings were beautifully maintained, and the peaceful ambiance made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to promote rest and relaxation. I especially appreciated the soft lighting, cozy bedding, and soundproof environment — it truly felt like a retreat. Whether I was enjoying a cup of tea on the balcony or unwinding in the lounge area, every moment felt calm and rejuvenating. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always respectful of the peaceful environment. It's clear that the hotel prioritizes the comfort and tranquility of its guests. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing place to recharge, this hotel is the perfect choice. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone in need of some well-deserved rest.
Nothing as such
The breakfast was plentiful loads of food which kept us going throughout the day safari organised for you great pool great room offer pick ups and drop offs from and to your next destinations we even had our meals there which were also plentiful wouldn’t hesitate to come back here also near elephant orphanage where you can watch the elephants and babies being fed the staff are fantastic and look after you really well
