mala experiencia, no repetiria
Wspaniały wlaściciel, pokój czysty i dość przestronny. Czajnik i herbata dostępne w pokoju. Sprawny wentylator. Dostęp do basenu na terenie innego obiektu w pobliżu. Skorzystałyśmy z organizowanej przez właściciela wycieczki Safari, która została dopasowana do naszych potrzeb.
Wszystko było w porządku :)
3 minute walk to store restaurants atm. Monkeys in the yard pool was refreshing Staff are so good. So good :)
I have nothing bad to say. Staff is a WhatsApp call away if you need something but all give you space.
Le prix de la chambre au vue des photos et les notes nous ont convaincu de réserver. Nous avons été déçus par le bruit de la route et l’absence totale d’isolation entre notre chambre et l’appartement du propriétaire. Nous avons donc décidé de quitter au bout d’une nuit. Néanmoins l’accueil est bon, nous avons réservé avec eux le safari, petit déjeuner satisfaisant. La piscine est de l’autre côté de la route à 5 mn de marche. Rien à faire sur place, village tout petit.
Le bruit
Reception was helpful All of them highly responsive Mr. saji was in time all the days picking me up from the airport and to and from station. gave us a wonderful half day safari too. deeply i recommend this hotel. save more money.
A super friendly and warm welcome, well suited to the needs and preferences of international travelers. i can recommend anyone here.
Spotless, beautiful, quiet and comfortable. Surrounded by forest. Very helpful in all way. city rides and safaris.
wonderful stay in a heavenly environment. clean rooms. most of the time in the pool. and later we offered a safari by the hotel which was very budget for us compared to others. highly recommending this hotel for both.
calidad precio excelente. Tienen como dos alojamiento uno donde está la piscina y el otro lado de la calle. Pero está a dos segundos el desayuno también se sirve allí. El desayuno es completo!!!! El chico que lo lleva es genial y muy amable. Puedes hacer safari con ellos. Nosotros solo íbamos de paso. Pero sin duda repetiremos si volvemos por alli
nada
staff are very friendly, attentive. Affordable price. Great safari tour in udawalawe. good price. Owner arrange it everything including for a good price.
Very clean.
No aircondition.
Die gute Lage nahe des Nationalparks. Das Frühstück war das Beste unserer Reise. Organisation der Safari. Es wurde extra für uns gekocht.
Die losen Steine auf dem Badezimmerboden. Warum?
Wspaniała obsługa i jedyna w swoim rodzaju Łazienka😃
The owner was very friendly and he arranged a safari for us. The accommodation was well positioned for the town and a few local restaurants.
Nothing which we didn't know already, eg there was no AC, but that is reflected in the price. The only suggestion would be to remove the pebbles on the bathroom floors, neither my son or myself could use the toilet or shower without putting our sliders on. Only thing to note is that the safaris are the time from leaving the hotel to returning to the hotel, not the time in the nature reserve. Just worth knowing. It didn't make a difference to us anyway, but may be helpful to others. The pool is at another lodge over the road, only 2 minutes away though.
Nos gustó mucho el trato por parte del dueño, nos ayudó mucho a encontrar los transportes a buen precio, con el safari y con la cena. La habitación estaba bien y en relación con el precio estuvo muy bien.
Es una zona en la que hay bastantes insectos por lo que trataría de aislar mejor los lugares por los que caben, ya que entran por el baño. También limpiaría el ventilador.
The best place we stayed in during our 4 weeks at Lanka. Owner is extremely nice, organized the most amazing safari, We did the morning half day safari with Madura who was very engaging, excitable and knowledgeable about the national park. The facilities were clean the place is absolutely wonderful 10/10

Great half day safari tour in udawalawe". Very nice place for the safari park. He was arrange great safari tour in udawalawe value for money. Nice room and bathroom very clean. The garden and the outside pool are very beautiful. after a safari, thé pool is really worth it.
We stayed here for one night .they welcomed us well. The rooms were very clean and the staff always helped us. we had dinner here and it was really delicious .The Hotel provided us with a jeep and very good knowledgeable driver to go on Safari the next morning .We saw many animals in the udawalawe park. very happy and really recommend to stay.
Amazing hotel, super clean and with the most friendly staff. pool was great. Great value for money. We did the safari with them and was great. Totally recommendable.
A perfect retreat for those seeking peace, privacy, and relaxation. The safari trips arranged by the hosts were a highlight, offering an amazing way to explore the local wildlife. The Sri Lankan cuisine served was authentic and delicious.
Surrounding with greenish , well maintained, Good management and humble staffs. tasty foods. Well organized. Spectacular safari. Everything on time and cheapest according to analytic. highly recommends both.
The staff was really friendly and helpful. The food there were enough options. Anything we asked for was provided. We organized a safari tour with them which was also beautiful. The location is clean and the rooms are modern. enjoyed the pool activities.
quick drive from the main road . clean and peaceful place, location is very nice with a nice big pool. pool situated opposite the road very easy to access nd enjoyed a lot.
Great place to stay when you’re on a budget, the host is super friendly and helpful, Friendly staff, good wifi and location is surrounded by green nature. biggest clean pool.
Very calm location, nice pool( one of their other hotel's pool) and sunbeds, very friendly and helpful staff.
Enthusiastic owner who's always keen for a chat and to help with any arrangements we needed. fine rooms and food. as a great compliment owner took us to his pool area with his own vehicle and let us enjoy.
Nice & friendly staff. Food was exceptional. Rooms were really comfortable with all the amenities you need.Nice view from rooms & exceptional value for money. they arranged a safari and taxi. great value for everything.
We had a great time here. The hosts were kind and demonstrated true Sri Lankan hospitality. It’s peaceful and has lots of interesting things to see around it. Best place to near the udawalawa. best location and staff.
The location is very convenient and safe. Friendly staff, good internet. best pool setup they got its just other side of the road. really recommends ivory safari pool house.
The hotel hospitality was great. Exceptional staff. Even at late night I was able to order from them. let us use their pool which is opposite to the road very close and that was so peaceful. fine location.
Clean and quiet place next to a restaurant. The pool is located on the other side of the street but it’s not a big deal for the price. They arrange safari for you (3 different options), a little bit expensive but as the night is really cheap it’s ok. Breakfast after safari was huge!
Brilliant homestay with super friendly hosts. The rooms are very clean and the comfiest bed I've slept in in Sri lanka. It also had a unique bathroom with foot massage stones to walk over. Food cooked by his mother was all very tasty and big portions sizes. The owner was always ensuring I was ok and helped me organise my safari. I chose this park as I didn't want to experience the overcrowding of yala and I felt the animals were given good space and the vehicles did not seem to trouble them. I was given knowledge on the park/ animals as when we stopped- saw elephants with 10 minutes along with monitor lizard, eagle, spotted deer and an array of birds. Swimming pool is a lovely addition for those hot afternoons and again all the staff I saw were super friendly and helpful. I recommend you to stay :)

Amazing Safari. saji Thank you so much arranged us a superb safari tour in Udawalawa national park. everything were prefect.
This was an absolutely amazing stay. Beautiful location, excellent food and the hosts were so lovely. A big highlight of my trip!
Everything were Prefect.Highly recommended.
The best part is the host, very kind and helpful. The host managed an amazing safari with a driver who really seemed to care about the animals and made our trip special. Dinner and breakfast was the best homecooked meal we have tried in Srí Lanka.
A very impressive experience even though we only stayed for one night. The host was very kind and lovely. The room was very clean. Beds are comfortable. The shower is cleaned and has new soap and paper. Towels are clean. The food is delicious and generously portioned. We organize safaris from the hotel and the driver is very experienced and sharp eyed. He always stayed away from the other drivers and we were able to see 30+ elephants in a half day tour. Also see crocodiles, buffaloes, different types of birds, peacocks, deer, lizards etc. You should choose this place because it provides perfect service.
The host and his family were absolutely amazing, they were so friendly and kind and they made this stay really special. It was the cleanest room and best bathroom we had in all of Sri Lanka. The food was also incredible with huge portions and delicious fried rice and lentils.I highly recommend this place.
