Elite Safari Resort

Accueil exceptionnel. On vit au cœur de la famille, l’hote est adorable et aux petits soins avec nous. Elle s’est occupée de planifier tout notre safari et la visite de l’Elephant Transit Home. La chambre est spacieuse et confortable, la douche en semi plein air est top et alimentée en eau chaude. Nous vous recommandons vivement cet hébergement.

It was really modern and super clean. Especially the family who owned this place just came back from their vacation and prepared everything very shortly for me that I can stay there. So lovely

Habitación grande y cómoda. Cerca del parque nacional de Udawalawa. Puedes contratar con ellos la excursión. Desayuno completo y muy rico

I had a really wonderful stay at Udalawe Hostel. The main owner was incredibly kind and welcoming—she even cooked delicious meals for us, which made the experience feel very personal and homely. They also organized a safari for us the next day, which was fantastic and completely hassle-free. What I really appreciated was how they took care of everything: the food, guide, and even arranging transport to our next destination. Overall, it was a super smooth and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Stanza accogliente e pulita. Posizione ottima. La proprietaria è super gentile, ci ha accolti con un drink ed è sempre stata disponibile. Ha anche organizzato per noi il safari con Hema, una guida top!!! Inoltre la via è piena di cani dolcissimi di cui si prendono cura. Super consigliato 🧡🤠

I loved it, the host is really nice and helpful, organized a really good safari and the breakfast was also delicious. The place is near the bus stop but also quiet and the room was really big and comfortable!

We (two female travelers) arrived and saw a half naked man staring at us for the first 15min before our host arrived. When the host arrived, she asked whether we wanted to book a safari and when I told her that we already had one, she told us she wouldn’t make us breakfast, even though it was included. We agreed and she kept coming back to our room pushing us to buy her safari. She told us the room was so cheap because we needed to buy her safari, but we had never gotten a message or a question before stating this. We asked if she knew a taxi company and she said she would send us one, which she never did. We were two people and only got one towel and one small blanket. Very uncomfortable situation.

Ik ben hier 2 nachten verbleven en heb op dag 2 een safari gedaan. De safari via het hotel was 21000lkr en het was perfect geregeld. Ik werd opgehaald, na de safari kreeg ik een uitgebreid en super lekker ontbijt met thee of koffie. Het gezin is super lief en alsk ik vragen had stonden ze direct klaar voor mij. De kamer is prachtig, je hebt airco, WiFi, een muggennet en de badkamer en ruim en heel mooi. Ik raad dit verblijf super hard aan! (Er is ook een riviertje 2min wandelen van het verblijf, zie foto).

Have been cancelled with no reason

Been cancelled with no reason, paid my stay

Eine super tolle Unterkunft, unglaublich freundliche Gastgeberin und leckeres Frühstück!

This place is superb, the room was the best in Sri Lanka. The host was the most accommodating person I have met yet.. nothing was too much trouble. The location was perfect: 2 min walk to to the main area yet so quiet and peaceful. A full ten out of ten here

I have nothing but good to say about this property or the host

Absolutely lovely place near the safari park. Very nice and helpful owner lady. She can organize all the safari tour for you in various packages for very reasonable price. Rooms very clean, reconstructed, food great. Can only reccomend

Es war super sauber, groß, die Betten waren bequem, unglaublich gutes Frühstück, das mit Abstand beste was wir in Sri Lanka hatten. Die Vermieter sind super lieb. Gerne wieder!

Cudowni, przemili ludzie! Gospodyni cudowna i pomocna! Pokój bardzo duży, ładny, nowy, absolutnie czysty i komfortowy! Pyszne, domowe jedzenie. Gospodarz zorganizował nam fantastyczne safarii w bardzo dobrej cenie i pyszne śniadanie po :) Najlepszy nasz pobyt na całej Sri Lance! Gorąco polecam!

Todo, la acogida fue genial. El precio muy bajo y el trato maravilloso. Recomendamos el safari que ofrecen.

Wir haben drei Nächte im Elite Resort Safari verbracht und hatten dort eine rundum fantastische Zeit. Die Zimmer sind außergewöhnlich groß, sehr sauber und gepflegt – man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Ein absolutes Highlight war die Safari, die wir direkt über das Resort gebucht haben: hervorragend organisiert, sehr professionell und ein echtes Erlebnis. Besser hätten wir es uns nicht wünschen können. Die Gastgeberin ist unglaublich herzlich, aufmerksam und zuvorkommend – man merkt, dass ihr das Wohl der Gäste wirklich am Herzen liegt. Auch das Essen war jeden Tag ein Genuss: frisch, abwechslungsreich und extrem lecker. Insgesamt haben wir uns vom ersten bis zum letzten Moment extrem wohlgefühlt. Für uns eine klare Top-Unterkunft und eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung für alle, die Komfort, Herzlichkeit und eine großartige Safari-Erfahrung suchen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Bardzo przyjemny pobyt. Pokój z dwoma szerokimi podwójnymi łóżkami, każde osłonięte moskitierą na stelażu - wygląda to romantycznie :) Wyposażony w dobrze działającą klimatyzację. Wyjście na mały taras, widok na ogródek i skaczące po drzewach małpy. Łazienka niezwykle oryginalna, tylko połowa jest osłonięta sufitem - druga połowa (dwa prysznice) pod gołym niebem. Można się kąpać w padającym deszczu ;) Gospodyni bardzo przyjazna, cierpliwa i opiekuńcza. Pomagała we wszystkim, zorganizowała nam rodzinne safari w pobliskim parku narodowym. Zostaliśmy zaopatrzeni w solidny prowiant. Kierowca też był naprawdę w porządku. Chociaż spędziliśmy tam tylko dwie noce, wyjeżdżaliśmy zachwyceni.

Trudno się do czegoś przyczepić :)

Beautiful accommodation. Spacious, clean, comfortable and excellent A/C. The host Jayanika is a lovely person, and her daughters are so cute and playful. Good wifi, great shower pressure, delicious food. We did a half day safari through Elite Safari and it was awesome. We saw so many animals! Also the accom is really close to lots of excellent food places and a two minute walk to the main street. We loved staying here.

The place was really nice, the host super friendly and the safari I did with them was great.

Hospitality

Nothing

Fake Rate. Roome rate fake. Hotel owner told 12$. Booking.com say 1$. Very bad

Room rate fake. Hotel rate 1$ but hotel owner told 12$

such a kind, gracious and humble family that takes care of the absolutely sufficient shelter needed before or after a safari. They will help with the necessities and even if they don't, they will certainly give good advice. She helped us set up our safari, took care of breakfast and even provided our own laundry. The kids played in the garden with the family's kids and we were almost sad we couldn't stay a few more hours.

the only thing I miss, and this is true in all of sri lanka where we have been in 6 accommodations so far, is any kind of closet or table to store things from suitcases to change clothes.

I guess it's my own fault i should have known a $1 hotel room would be a scam. Basically the place is free if you spend 20,000 rupees on a safari with them. Otherwise the real price is is 4000 rupees. They don't post this information anywhere to see before you get there and waste your time and energy. Looks like just about every hotel in this town is doing the same stupid scam.

The host is really lovely and made us some delicious dinners every night. The room is spacious and comfortable too. We booked the safari through her and it was amazing! I recommend doing the full day!

The owner is exceptionally good, it is hard to imagine there is someone so caring, nice, efficient as her. She was the best! Sri Lankan superwoman :) there was a nationwide power outage and in no time she had an electrician over with a generator for us to have electricity. And she made sure the generador was far away as to not cause too much noise. Her food is amazing, the location is perfect, the bathroom is incredibly beautiful. She arranged everything for me, at no extra cost, and guided me to my next destinatuon. I had 5 minutes to catch my bus and she even called me a few minutes later to make sure I was ok. :) better than my mom :)

Best place to stay in Udawalawe! The host is one of a kind, and the dinner was amazing! 10/10 would recomend!! We also booked an elefant safari trough the resort, and loved it. The rooms are big and everyting was great.

The place was amazing, super clean, very nice nature around, and the owner was just the nicest, he was super fast in providing everything we needed, and the breakfast was amazing, super good food :)

Best place I stayed in Sri Lanka, really comfy room, clean toilet, the breakfast was so good and the host was super nice, 100% recommend, also did the reservation for the safari with them

Great location near the bus stop, all kinds of shops, local cafes and a supermarket. Udawalawe national park and baby elephant orphanage are also pretty close. Hosts are very hospitable and ready to help you with all matters. There was no problem to stay for one more night because of the heavy rain. Food is home-made, delicious and big portions. You can have here local breakfast, lunch and diner. After lunch we were treated with tea and bakery. We were offered to choose between two rooms and we got the family room, which is spacious, with two big beds, beautiful shower, ac and fan, lovely balcony with the jungle view and good wi-fi. Hope to return here as soon as possible.

The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The hammocks and jacuzzi tab were lovely. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The safari organization was great. The driver is a very knowledgeable guide. Everything was perfect.

This hotel is in booking. Com. But when i booked it, i reached there., they said no room. They had a group. But they never called to inform.. Bad service.

Communication no where..

I was choosing accomodation in Udawalawe very carefully becouse we wanted to have a really nice time there. Luckily I ended up with Elite Safari Resort becouse this place is amazing! Extremely nice and friendly owner, amazing new room with spectacular graden view, delicious dinner and great safari experience. We booked safari tour here and our driver was amazing! He did a really great job and thanks to him and his experiences, we saw many animals. I recommend to book 7 hours safari. We were worried if it is not too long but it wasn't. We had enough time to just watch animals and no rush like other jeeps with 4 hours safari and also had amazing breakfast in the national park which was one of the nicest memory. We regret we didn't stay longer.

nothing...
