Hidden Jungle Village

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt bei Sampath und seiner Frau. Sie sind herzliche Gastgeber. Man schläft mitten im Wald mit all den Vogelgeräuschen. Die Unterkunft ist sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Uns wurde ein sehr leckeres, lokales Abendessen und Frühstück serviert. Wir haben eine ganztägige private Safari gebucht. Der Preis kann einfach vorab erfragt werden. Es hat sich sehr gelohnt. Die Fahrt im bequemen Jeep war schon ein kleines Abenteuer. Sampath hat die ganze Zeit ein wachsames Auge gehabt, sodass wir (neben einigen anderen Tieren) sogar einen Leoparden und einen Bären gesehen haben! :) Unterwegs gab es leckeres Essen und kalte Getränke. Mein Partner hatte Geburtstag und wurde sogar mir einem Kuchen zum frühen Morgen und einem kleinen Geschenk überrascht. Vielen Dank für die unvergessliche Zeit!

Génial ! En pleine jungle, dans un cadre calme et vraiment typique. Le repas était excellent, avec une cuisine sri-lankaise authentique et délicieuse. Les hôtes étaient très gentils, attentionnés et accueillants. Merci pour ce merveilleux séjour, nous recommandons cet endroit sans hésiter !

Le lieu est tranquille et à l écart de tout. C'est dépaysant d être au milieu de la jungle

On n est pas près de l entrée du parc, une 10aine de km. Malgré un premier abord sympathique l hôte nous met vite la pression pour payer la chambre et le repas sans être clair sur les tarifs,. Et pour le safari il demandait un prix très élevé. . Du coup nous ne l avons pas fait, et il nous a appelé un tuk tuk avec un prix exagéré qu il partage avec le chauffeur. On s est senti oppressé. Business first..

Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich

Prachtige locatie, enorme lieve en vriendelijke host die er alles aan doet om het verblijf aangenaam te maken.

L'allotjament és confortable.Els amfitrions són molt amables i van ser molt amables amb els nens. El propietsri ens va aconseguir un safari molt agradable a Wilpatttu Nationa Park .La seva dona.es molt bona cuinera.Perfecte lloc per gaudir dels sons de la Selva tropical durant el dia i la nit.

Tot va anar molt bé.

Personal muy atento. Contratamos con ellos la excursión del safari de día entero, nos tocó de guía a Kumare, súper atento, y queriéndonos enseñar todo lo posible, vimos de todo, elefantes, oso, leopardos, aves, búfalos, cocodrilos. Sin duda recomendamos el safari! El desayuno y comida de la excursión muy bueno

Lo único malo es que sale que el alojamiento tiene wifi, pero no la tiene y además tienes que salir fuera a coger servicio

La tranquilidad, la cama, la casa en general, lo amables que eran los dueños, es maravillosa

Loved that it was hidden in the jungle! Basic accommodation but loved the location, tranquility and sounds of surrounding nature. Food was lovely. Sampath and his wife, Ajanta, were the perfect hosts and so helpful. He organised our safari, helped us with a visit to the doctor, took us fishing at the nearby lake and his son came to do a karaoke one night. All very enjoyable and loved Wilpattu NP. An unforgettable experience. My kids loved the frogs!

Sampath and his wife were truly amazing hosts, catering for our every need. Location was fantastic, bed was very comfortable. It’s a little primitive but that’s why I chose it - met my expectation as a hidden jungle retreat! The food served was excellent. I really enjoyed our stay.

Shared bathroom was unexpected but didn’t prove to be a problem.

A terasz, a csend és a nyugalom.

The hosts are very welcoming and the food is really good. It is very quiet and peaceful. No internet signal, so be aware of that if you can’t live without the phone. I was happy to have no signal. Beds are comfy, the fan is strong. It is very rustic, the walls are made of mud, no roof over the rooms, covered by a large roof to stop the weather coming in.

You are away from shops etc, so if you have no transport, you rely on the single which comes and goes or the owner will take you for a fee. I am not sure whether the fee asked is a fair price as we did not need it. The safari deal is very very expensive for what you get. Other tourists in the park had paid much less and had a cooler with a variety of drinks as well as guide and driver. Our group had a driver who couldn’t understand English, so didn’t give us any information. I would suggest doing some research beforehand and booking not with the owner. When he was given negative feedback, he did not offer any refund, kept saying it was an external contract. I have found out since that you can get discounts on groups of more than 1 person, and that was not told to our group of 5. We paid 30k LKR each. The food on the tour was cooked by the owners wife, they had made an effort, unfortunately, my vegetarian meal had a meat sausage in, so I couldn’t eat lunch. There was some discrepancy over the booking. It did a bit of discussion which was frustrating, in the end, I paid for the nights I was there. The owners are welcoming, but I feel that you have to make sure you are not paying extra and I felt I did not trust him in the end. Which is a shame.

The hosts were amazing, very friendly and helpful. Lunch was very very good and very generous helpings! The Safari organised through the host was superb and well run and the location was beautiful in the middle of the jungle and a short walk to a lovely lake Thank you so much - we had a great time and very highly recommend!!!

The staff are very kind and food was AMAZING!! The staff went out of their way for me and were very kind. The accommodation is also very hidden so if you like nature it’s great! On the first day I arrived they also took me for a walk to the neighbouring house/farmer were we picked some fresh vegetables to have with an amazing dinner. Food is DELICIOUS!!!

I had no phone service and very poor wifi. This is totally fine! As it is beautiful you don’t need to be on a phone. But for me I was solo travelling for the first time and this was my first night in Sri Lanka and I was the only guest that night (which was nice!) but was a bit nervous as if anything happened I had no way of contacting anyone from home. ( I don’t think I would have found this a problem at all if I was travelling with someone). However I am sure I would have been taken care of if this did as staff were very kind and hospitable.

Good breakfast
