FALSE ADVERTISING AGAIN. same thing with all those udawalawa hotels. cheap price but you have to book safari with them only. breakfast you don’t get it either even though it’s stated INCLUDED.
Cunning owner is there. Don't recommend this place to any.
El alojamiento es increíble por el precio que pagas. La habitación es muy espaciosa, la cama es cómoda. Tiene aire acondicionado. Solo he pasado una noche pero me habría quedado más porque es un lugar muy tranquilo y cómodo para descansar. Está muy cerca del "Elephants Transit Home", son solo 14 minutos caminando. Tiene varios restaurantes cerca. Mi experiencia ha sido realmente buena. Lo único que cambiaría es el wifi, que no había, y tampoco la cobertura era buena.
No había wifi. Fue muy difícil encontrarlo porque la ubicación de Booking no coincide con la realidad. Lo encontré después de preguntar en varios restaurantes y alguien muy amable que debía conocer el lugar, me llevara. Sería conveniente actualizar esta información en Booking. También por otro lado, tenía el desayuno incluido con Booking y la propietaria me dijo que el desayuno solo estaba incluido si hacías el safari con ellos, cosa que no figuraba en ninguna parte. De todas formas no había nadie en el alojamiento para gestionar el safari en caso de que hubiera querido hacerlo, pude contactar con ella porque otro huésped me facilitó su contacto para poder pagar mi estancia.
It is a place that gives you good value. The breakfast here is great. I highly recommend this place. You can book a safari for a very cheap price. The special thing about this place is that it is very close to everything. You can walk to the elephant milking station from this place.
Preisleistung top. Frühstück. Personal.
Könnte etwas sauberer sein und die bettlacken waren gefühlt nicht frisch.
The room and area was totally different with reality actually there was no pool and all the time they offer safari …also the name of this hostel was totally different
The cabin is very nice! The bathroom is also very nice. The beds are comfortable. Very peaceful place. A beautiful safari. Value for money. The room is very nice!
It was so peaceful, the room exceeded our expectations - it was beautiful. The grounds are really well kept and very tidy. The family who run the lodge are kind, caring and amazing people. They also offer a wonderful safari that you can arrange. Not to mention the food! Wow Madhu is a very good cook. Her food is amazing. I highly recommend eating at the on-site restaurant as it was the most delicious food we had in Sri Lanka. Thank you for hosting us. We will definitely be back 😊
The owners were friendly and very helpful, organising two great safaris for us. The guide was excellent, adapting the safari to our interests, whilst enabling us to see a wide range of wildlife. The home cooked breakfast and evening buffet were delicious and provided a real taste of Sri Lankan food. The resort is in a great location for visiting the national park and provided real value for money.
We loved Traget safari home stay! It is located about 10 minutes from the entrance of Udawalawe Park and is in a beautiful location among the trees. The manager Ravidu and his wife were very friendly and organized a wonderful safari for us to the park. We saw over 50 elephants and other animals, so we had a great time. Our room at the hotel was large, comfortable and very clean. We also had a lovely dinner at the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to do a safari in Udawalawe. It was excellent value for money.
This place is so beautiful - and so are the hosts! It's so peaceful, with plenty of space to sit outside and watch the monkeys and the train. The dinner + breakfast was fantastic, the place was very clean and welcoming and Ravi arranged a tuk tuk to the falls for us on our departure morning. We will definitely be back and hope many more people come to stay at this wonderful place.
The houses are beautifully designed, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings, providing a safe and unique wilderness experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and went out of their way to accommodate our needs, even providing us with meals from their on-site kitchen. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the setting and the connection with nature. The facilities were clean and well maintained, with ample electricity and WiFi to keep us connected when needed. This place is perfect for a true wildlife adventure with a touch of comfort. Highly recommended!
The location was great. The breakfast was good,. The room was spacious. Had a nice big balcony! The owner was extremely helpful and really tried to help me correct the mistakes I made in my original booking. Overall, a great place!👌
Very good accommodation, friendly staff. Very clean rooms, especially the bathroom. They provided us with delicious Sri Lankan food. We had been on safari twice in Sri Lanka, but this was our third time in Udawalawe and it was organized by this hotel. They provided us with a young driver with 10 years of experience and knowledge and a jeep. He explained everything about each animal, especially the lifestyle of elephants. This was the best safari we had in Sri Lanka. Of course, organizing the safari with the hotel was the best. Thank you very much for everything.
A great place for a safari. The accommodation was basic but clean and functional. There was a good evening meal on site. The owner was very helpful, organising our morning safari and sending us off with a packed breakfast. Our driver was an excellent spotter and pointed out many creatures we would have missed otherwise.
We stayed here for one night. The accommodation is wonderful. Really nice staff. We had a great dinner here. The park is beautiful at night with the lights. We booked a safari tour from them. We saw leopards, elephants and many animals. The driver was great, he knows every place in the park. Very comfortable jeep. The next day we booked a taxi from them. The prices are cheap. Before booking the taxi we ask because the city is expensive. But here the prices are reasonable. Thank you all.
This was our favorite place to stay during our entire stay in Sri Lanka. Amazing value for money with everything you need - hot shower, air conditioning, spacious room, mosquito net, fan. It was perfect! The dinner at the guesthouse was amazing too. We booked our safari through them and it was a 10/10. I would recommend this place to anyone planning to visit Udawalawe.✨❤️
A good place to stay in Udawalawe. A quiet place in a convenient location for both the city and the countryside.. The location is especially good. You can see the sunrise and sunset from there. The room is very good. The air-conditioned silence and no outside disturbances. The bed and pillows are comfortable enough. The bathroom is basic and good. The host was friendly and helpful and organized transportation for us on a number of occasions, including the safari. He is a very good cook, we loved his jackfruit curry.
Spacious and comfortable room 🛏️. The host is super helpful and friendly 🤝 — he even arranged a safari for us! For the safari, if you get the chance to go with Shantha, go for it! He is the best guide/driver we have ever had: ethical ✅, calm 🧘♂️, he doesn't follow the same route as everyone else. He knows the park and the animals well and speaks excellent English. He showed us two very different sides of the park between the morning 🌅 and evening 🌇 safaris. Close your eyes and go for it — both the room and the guide are top notch!
We loved our stay. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. It looked very basic due to the price and photos, but it was everything you could possibly need. You still have all the comforts you could possibly need. The owner of the place helped us plan the safari trip and it was unforgettable. Our guide was very nice and super professional. We really enjoyed our stay.
The room is spacious and clean. The plugs are also suitable for Europeans. The air conditioning provides a pleasant coolness. Water and sugarcane drinks are welcome. Very nice and hospitable owner and his family. Prepared us a delicious Sri Lankan lunch, brought watermelon when we asked for extra fruit. He also took us on a safari in his jeep. Careful driver, knows the park well, met many elephants, crocodiles, buffaloes, lovebirds, monkeys, various birds. A delicious breakfast was served in a secluded place by the lake. Pancakes and sandwiches were delicious.
Very kind and friendly hosts. We have met many people in Sri Lanka and this couple made a really good impression on us. They welcomed us with juice and cake and were full of good conversation. The room is clean, has air conditioning, fridge, hot water. Breakfast is included. We also did a safari with them. You can do both morning and evening safaris. We saw many elephants and other animals :) They also give the best price for the jeep.
The staff were extremely attentive and friendly! Booking the safari through the hosts was very easy and the safari itself was amazing! We were able to see over 40 different types of amazing animals with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. When we did the 4 hour safari, it meant we got to see the elephant transport station in the afternoon, which was only a 3 minute tuktuk ride from the property! There were so many amazing features to this place, but the best was the delicious home cooked meals from the hosts.
The location is great! The room was very comfortable and very clean! The staff were the kindest, sweetest, . They organised a Safari for us during which we saw many amazing animals, and prepared breakfast to take away. I would recommend
We had a wonderful stay here. Ravindu and his family are lovely hosts, very attentive and Ravindu provided excellent communication, organising safaris and taxis for us. The food was outstanding with a generous home cooked breakfast and a delicious evening buffet style meal of traditional Sri Lankan food. A beautiful property set back from the main road in a beautiful location, with lots of flora and wildlife surrounding it. The room was spacious with comfortable beds, drinking water and tea/coffee making facilities. There was also a large bathroom with a powerful, hot shower and a large private balcony.
Beautiful, well furnished, clean, good bathroom and great breakfast. The owner is a very kind and caring man, he went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect for us. The safari was excellent and overall a great experience with value for money.
Awesome
The staff were extremely attentive and friendly! Booking the safari through the hosts was very easy and the safari itself was amazing! Not only did we see around 50 different types of amazing animals with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, we also had a delicious breakfast with a cup of tea before heading out to see one of the many lakes in the national park. It was everything we could have hoped for and more! When we did the 4 hour safari, it meant we got a chance to visit the elephant transport station in the afternoon, which was only a 3 minute tuktuk ride from the property! There were so many amazing features to this place, but one of the best was the delicious home cooked meals from the hosts.
Amazing place! Everything is beautiful! The bungalow is really nice and clean. We were in a calm and relaxing space in the middle of the forest.. The private one was really nice. We only booked one night but we wished we could have stayed a little longer. It was the best hotel we had during our stay in Sri Lanka. Talking about the safari, they offer safaris. Saw a lot of elephants. The guide knows everything. I recommend it.. 10/10
Where to start... We had a wonderful stay! Our host Ravidu is a very kind man. We will be forever grateful for the special memories created there. His wife cooked us delicious traditional Sri Lankan food every night. Thank you so much ☺️ The bed is extremely comfortable and the room is spacious and very clean. I would 100% recommend booking a safari through Ravidu, he partners with a guide who has years of experience. The safari guide was knowledgeable about the animals and different species we saw on the safari. He was very respectful of the wildlife and drove slowly through the park unlike other jeeps... We were very happy that he took us to quiet places when we were the only ones as the park can sometimes get crowded. If you are going on a safari in Udawalawe you should book with him!!
We really enjoyed Ravidu Safari House! It is located about 5 minutes from the entrance of Udawalawe Park and is in a beautiful location among the trees. The manager Ravidu and his wife were very friendly and organized a wonderful safari for us to the park. We saw over 50 elephants and other animals, so we had a great time. Our room at the hotel was large, comfortable and very clean. We also had a lovely dinner at the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to do a safari in Udawalawe.
