Elephant Trail

Everything is ok, except the size of the room. I booked family room for 4 adults, but room is too small. Otherwise everything is acceptable.

Everything is just great

I think soft drink or juice should be included in dinner

Great little hotel. Rooms are clean, air conditioned, bed comfortable. Service was great, friendly and efficient. They also arranged our safari for us without any issues. We were half board and the food at dinner was very good as was breakfast. The price was very reasonable Highly recommended

Nothing

We waren aanwezig op het Singalees en Tamil Nieuwjaar en mochten meedoen met allerlei spelletjes. Wat een gezellig en vriendelijk personeel. Hartelijk ontvangst.

Het bed is langs 1 kant misschien wat meer beslapen. Wellicht hierdoor een piepend bed.

The staff were very helpful. Nardun on reception understands English well and is very keen to hflp in any way possible. The pool was a welcome place after a long hot drive from Ella.

Nothing to note.

Nähe zum Park. Der Pool. Das Personal.

Keine Moskitonetze

The location of Elephant Trail makes it an ideal choice if visiting the national park. We arranged a 4 hour morning safari through the hotel prior to arrival and it was excellent- comfy seats in the jeep and an experienced driver. The hotel staff were all polite and looked after us very well. They are a credit to the hotel. The pool and dining areas are comfortable and clean but you definitely need your insect repellent, there are a lot of flies and bugs as would be expected in such a rural area. We had a triple room on the first floor with a balcony overlooking the pool area. The rooms are a little tired and there are a few things that could use a some maintenance (bathroom door lock, sink plug). The doors onto the balcony have gaps all round and did not lock but the air conditioning worked well and we didn’t have any trouble with bugs in the room. The back of the hotel overlooks a beautiful field and we arrived as the sun was setting and saw a couple of hornbills fly over and land in a nearby tree. We stayed half board and enjoyed the breakfasts and dinners very much. Dinner was a set menu with a couple of choices for main course. This is a friendly hotel in a great location and we enjoyed our stay there.

Small maintenance issues but nothing major

L'accueil très chaleureux et personnalisé. L'adaptation des horaires. Le lieu est très propre neuf et bien entretenu. Merci à Sylvester et à son équipe

Close to national park Clean room

L’architecture du lieu La gentillesse La proximité du parc

We were very well looked after by Nadun, Indunil and Nirwan. They provided attentive, generous hospitality and organised a Jeep Safari and visit to the Elephant Transit Home for us during our stay. They even provided a takeaway breakfast for our 6am visit to the national park.

Appartementen zijn prima, mooi en schoon en ligt dichtbij het safari park. Restaurant is redelijk tot goed, afhankelijk welk gerecht je kiest, ontbijt is prima maar haal koffie maar bij de buren. Verder niet veel te doen in de omgeving.

Nice staff Near park Good breakfast

Lots of bugs inside the rooms Not clean bug nets

The bathroom was spacious and the location is close to the entrance of the national park. The staff was very polite and helpful.

The room was quite dirty. The price we paid was quite high for the area and we would expect it to be much cleaner. The breakfast was very disappointing. I don’t think we got what we should have gotten for the amount of money that we paid.

Hôtel un peu triste avec une décoration qui date

The place was exactly what we'd hoped for. clean, well managed awesome food great service wonderful location

Everything was great

Proximité avec le parc

Nous avons trouvé des cafards dans notre chambre… après l’avoir signalé, on nous a changé de chambre mais il y en avait encore… Le petit-déjeuner vous est proposé après le safari, mais vous n’êtes pas informé que ce n’est pas inclus dans la chambre, et il vous est ensuite facturé. Il y a beaucoup de bruit la nuit, il s’agit probablement des grenouilles qui se baignent dans la piscine. Le repas est bon mais vous tomberez malade.

Proximity to the main entrance to the park. Organised a top safari for us.

Outdoor furniture looked 'tired'.

Alles

Es sah genau aus wie auf den Bildern. Wir haben gut geschlafen. Das Personal war super freundlich und hat uns eine Jeep Safari, tuktuks, Massage und Transport zur nächsten Unterkunft besorgt und das alles zu einem normalen Preis.

We loved our stay at Elephant Trail. The property is in a beautiful location with views out over nature. Everybody who works there is wonderful, and very helpful. A big thank you to Nadun and Indunil at reception, and to the excellent team in the restaurant. The property is clean and friendly. We ate lunch, dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and all of our meals were exceptional. I’m a vegetarian and there was an excellent variety of choices for me. We had a fun time in the swimming pool, and the hotel arranged our morning safari. It was amazing! We saw elephants and a crocodile and monkeys and loads of birds including hornbills, kingfishers and bee eaters! Wow, what an incredible experience. Thank you everybody, Elephant Trail has a lot of heart and soul. Highly recommended.

It was an okay stay, we mainly needed a location close to the Elephant safari park. They gave a great takeaway breakfast. A bit of a budget friendly hotel that is great if you need to go to an early morning safari.

Room amenities can be better.

Personnel très aimable et disponible. Nous avons booké avec eux notre safari. Très bonne organisation Chambre propre et bien équipée Nous avons pu prendre le petit-déjeuner après notre safari même si nous sommes arrivés 20 min en retard

I had a lovely stay. It's perfect for 1 night. I arrived in the early afternoon and was able to enjoy the afternoon swimming and eating lunch at the swimming pool. In the evening I went to the elephant orphanage feeding and early the next morning I did an elephant safari, which is quite close by. They packed a breakfast for me to take on safari. Dinner in the restaurant was also good. The room was large and had a fridge. Everything was great, especially considering the reasonable price.

It's true there are some insects, but it's in a nature reserve, so it is to be expected.

The staff was amazing, very accommodating. There was a breakfast buffet which was very welcome after the safari (they kept it open until we returned at 10am)

The images look a bit nicer than it is in reality.

We had a really great stay at the Elephant trail! Room was really nice and comfortable! The safari the hotel organised was amazing! All the staff including Nirwan, Indu & Nadun were really friendly and very attentive! We would love to come back!

Zeer vriendelijk , mooi gelegen aan het meer

Juste l’emplacement avec le parc national et la gentillesse des jeunes garçons

Propreté moyenne Piscine et ses abords mal entretenus Insonorisation inexistante Pas de prises de courant suffisantes Petit déjeuner moyen

Service au top, chambres très belles, proche du safari !

Rien

Elephant Trail delivers the promise

Vriendelijk personeel, heerlijk diner en ontbijt. Bedden waren prima. Afstand tot park is top en kort. Olifanten aan de overkant van de weg af en toe te zien.

Douche bijna geen druk. Er is geen lift. Verlichting op de kamer en badkamer is slecht.

Tæt beliggende ved nationalparken.

Vi havde generelt en fornemmelse af at der manglede styring på dette hotel. De flotte billeder som er taget af stedet lever ikke op til det, som man kommer frem til.

staff were amazing !

Schöne Anlage, sehr nette Mitarbeiter die mit allem sehr behilflich waren. Das Bad war sehr schön. In der Nähe des Eingangs beim Nationalpark

Es fehlten Steckdosen in der Nähe des Bettes, es gab leider nicht so warmes Wasser beim Duschen

Elephant Trail Udawalawa was a huge disappointment. The hotel is run-down, poorly maintained, and feels dirty overall. The swimming pool was disgusting and absolutely not inviting. The outdoor areas were bleak and unpleasant, nothing like what the photos suggest. The so-called cocktail bar felt fake and added no atmosphere whatsoever. Food at the hotel was of very low quality, and there are no decent restaurants nearby – only other hotels with similarly poor standards. The only positive part of the stay was the safari in Udawalawa National Park. Apart from that, there is nothing to do in the area, and we ended up leaving the hotel earlier than planned. Overall: low standards, poor hygiene, misleading presentation, and not worth staying at. I would definitely not choose this place again.

Tolles Hotel, mit sehr bemühtem und freundliches Personal. Safari gleich um die Ecke.

Very close to the safari entrance and very kind stuff. Totally recommend it. Also spacious rooms.

Property is located close to the National Park. The food at the restaurant catered for everyone, kids loved the juices. Nice atmosphere and place to hang.

The family room was a little bit tight. We had two adults & two teens, but still good for a short stay.

La struttura è collocata vicino all’ingresso del parco e offre la possibilità di organizzare il safari anche su jeep private. Camera pulita, carina la piscina. Personale molto gentile e disponibile.

Alcuni dettagli della camera da rivedere, nella nostra camera c’era la tenda rotta

The staff were amazing

The food was not good at all, very thin walls - I could hear everything happening in the room next door when they got up for their morning safari, the water pressure and hot water were non existent

Место, чистота

Возможно случайно, но при выезде мне добавили 2 лишних чека в счет. Один из них вообще был датирован за 2 дня до поездки, а второй мы ранее уже оплатили. Но вопрос решили

Super sødt og dygtigt personale, ren pool, fine værelser, balkon med stole og bord. Tæt på parken. Arrangerede en fantastisk nytårsfest og fejrede vores datter som blev 7 år.

If you're staying for one night and just for this safari, this place does a wonderful job. Pool was good and the cocktails were alright. Staff were really great and let us leave our bags in the hotel

Rooms could do with some TLC and the food in the restaurant was pretty sub par

Very good staff

Rena och stora rum. Abslappnad atmosfär och hjälpsam personal

Inget

OK

Very convenient for 2 nights before/after safari. Close to park entrance and they organised our safari (they partner with Niluka Safari company) with a great guide. I also asked them to arrange our transport from Mirissa the day before and to Ella the day after. Easy and no problem. Good and timely written communication in the app. Nice pool after a hot safari day. Wide selection of Western and Asian food at the restaurant, convenient to have this on site because the hotel is a bit out of town and we didn’t feel like going our again, good rice & curry and leave space for the incredible banana fritters ;-)

It’s a bit run down, missing plugs (has to use the TV plug) and you can hear your neighbours snore through the balcony doors that don’t close fully.

Hotel is superb rooms are very clean staff very friendly large pool meals are bit high but break first is very yummy children are love it next year hope to come back thanks

We had half board and the food was absolutely delicious. We also messaged to ask for them to organise a safari tour which was superb. When we arrived, everything was sorted already and very easy.

Food and service was excellent.

Flys at breakfast (but that can’t be helped) was just slightly irritating.

Booked due to its close proximity to the national park, its pretty isolated but fit for that purpose. Had much more amenities than I expected and amazing expansive buffet breakfast is included in the price. It has a variety of options for any dietary requirements

To be expected but lot of bugs, and some dust from aircon unit we think on the pillows but we swapped them out so was fine

Elephant Trail is the perfect spot for your Udawalawe National Park adventures as it's just down the road. They arranged our tour with Niluka Safari. Saw an elephant right across the road from the hotel and more down the road when we went for a walk. Our room was very spacious and had everything we needed. Unfortunately we didn't get the chance to use the swimming pool. The food was really good at the Elephant Trail restaurant. Nirwan was an excellent waiter. His english was excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful with everything we asked him about Sri Lanka. 

Вкусная еда на завтрак и ужин Красивое украшение отеля к Рождеству и Новому году

Кровать не очень удобная

Hyvä sijainti, erittäin avulias ja mukava henkilökunta. Matkustimme kaukaa ja saavuimme myöhään illalla, Illallinen saatiin järjestymään vaivattomasti keittiön suljettua. Safari oltiin myös järjestetty aamuksi sekä late check-out järjestyi.

Both the staff and the location were excellent. Friendly staff from the moment we arrived from the front desk to the restaurant, attentive and engaging. Special breakfast on leaving was a treat.

Bed was OK, sri lankan standards quite normal. Also the shower was average. Overall gave us the rest we needed for our fabulous safari.

Everything was good, we had a great time.

The door to the bathroom couldn’t be closed, so mosquitos could come into the room because of the open windows in the bathroom.

Friendly staff, good breakfast. Overall very good price/quality ratio for this hotel. We also really loved our safari guide for udawalawe Park, which we booked through the hotel.

The rooms are 1-3 floors up and there's no elevator. No issue for me, but for people who are less mobile, this could be a problem.

Hotelli oli todella viihtyisä ja kaunis, Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä. Varattiin hotellin kautta puolihoito ja safari, kaikki toimi täydellisesti. Aamupala saatiin safarille mukaan ja se oli järjestetty todella hyvin.

Nice location very close to the park entrance and directly next to the park. Using their bikes is a fantastic way to ride next to the national park and see some animals such as monkeys and elephants already from the outside.

The food options are plentiful but not amazing in quality. The bikes could use a service, they are quite shaky.

Tasteful place with helpful, friendly staff.

Welcoming and friendly staff, very caring and even offered to go to a shop and get some medicine for me when I was feeling unwell. Great facilities, very close to the national park meaning you can get a head start on your safari and the food was delicious.

Everything was just perfect from the staff to the room to the safari Highly recommended
