Pool, eigenes Bungalow, Safari war toll, Frühstück war sehr gut
Viele Insekten im Zimmer durch die undichten Türen, einige Hunde am Areal
Les tantes sont super, le lieu est magnifique
Le personnel était middle mais ok
Rooms and pool are amazing
We had a disappointing experience with dinner during our stay. We placed our orders at check-in, just after 6:30pm, assuming the food would not take too long. We would have been happy with a 30-minute wait, but unfortunately it took up to two hours for some of the meals to arrive. Had we been advised of the expected wait time when ordering, we would have made alternative arrangements and eaten elsewhere. The long wait was particularly difficult for our group after a long, hot day. Unfortunately, the gluten-free meal also arrived with gluten in it, despite the extended wait, which was especially disappointing given the dietary requirements. We however really enjoyed the accommodation and would definitely like to come back. The property itself is amazing, and we had a great stay overall. We just hope the dinner service and communication around wait times can be improved, as this was the only real disappointment during our visit.
FALSE ADVERTISING: .. i told the owner upon arrival that i was feeling sick, he kept pushing me to go on safari! then i said i don’t wanna go and he said the room costs will be MUCH HIGHER if i don’t book safari. then he told me im not allowed to stay more than one night ONLY. basically you have to arrive, stay one night, do safari with him and then leave.. to get this online price. i call that SCAM because they don’t tell you this in advance
Such a wonderful stay here! The staff were really friendly. I had a perfect 3 nights and the safari was fab! Highly recommend.
Super schöne Zelte mit "Dschungelgefühl"! Haben auch einen großen Binnenwaran im Resort -Tümpel gesehen. Pools auch schön!
Restaurant Personal spricht leider sehr schlechtes englisch und so kam es zu einigen Missverständnissen bei der Essensbestellung und Lieferung des Essens
Schöne Bungalow Anlage, mit Blick auf den Pool. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, insbesondere im Restaurant. Großzügige Gartenanlage, schöner Pool. Wir waren zweimal im Restaurant essen, sehr zu empfehlen. Wir hatten eine 6-stündige Safari gebucht. Toller Guide, wir hatten Glück und haben einige Elefanten gesehen.
Service in restaurant took a long time
Le lieu est magnifique, entouré d’arbres et de verdure. Le restaurant est délicieux et les lodges offrent une merveilleuse expérience dans la nature. La piscine est un plus qui permet de se rafraîchir après un bon safari
Un hôtel absolument génial, dans un cadre magnifique et très calme. Le personnel est adorable et très accueillant. La chambre était spacieuse, confortable et parfaitement adaptée pour un séjour à plusieurs. Gros coup de cœur pour la salle de bain extérieure, très grande, magnifique et vraiment dépaysante ! La piscine est également superbe et entourée de végétation, ce qui donne beaucoup de charme à l’hôtel. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et nous recommandons vivement cet établissement.
RAS
Lieu propre, Expérience différente. Confort de la literie. Personnel serviable Safari organiser par l’hôtel, avec un super chauffeur.
Manque d’accroche dans la salle de bain pour les serviettes. Nourriture ( pains et pâtisseries mauvais goût)
Bellissima struttura immersa nel verde. Noi (coppia) eravamo in un cottage con vista piscina (bagno privato all’aperto). Ottima cena al ristorante all’aperto
Molto bello il safari all'alba, l'abbiamo organizzato direttamente con l'hotel.
Il bagno esterno alla stanza non è comodo ed è pieno di insetti / rane / scimmie che defecano.
La piscina veramente carina Servizio ristorante
Tenda senza aria condizionata, si moriva di caldo Pulizia assente, bagno pieno di insetti Sarebbe da ammodernizzare molto
We had 2 luxury safari tents overlooking one of the pools, they were beautifully clean and we loved the outdoor bathrooms. We loved that there was a park for the kids and the food at the restaurant was great! It was really good value for money as we had breakfast and dinner included in our booking. We also booked a safari through the hotel which was amazing and good value. We loved it here.
The service at the restaurant was a bit slow but once the food arrived it was really good and they even brought desert to our rooms for us as the kids were tired!
Nos encantó su ubicación, estar rodeados de vegetación, como si estuvieras en medio de la jungla. La habitación era enorme, la cama comodísima y todo limpio. Las dos piscinas son de ensueño. Además, el desayuno fue el mejor de todo nuestro viaje, muy abundante y riquísimo. Sin duda, el mejor hotel de todo nuestro viaje.
Ein unglaublich schönes Hotel. Wir waren nur für eine Nacht dort um eine Safari zu machen. Diese wurde vom Hotel organisiert und durchgeführt. Es liegt sehr idyllisch und ist wunderschön angelegt.
Villaggio immerso nella natura che offre un buon modo di staccare la spina dal viaggio e rilassarsi un po.
Diciamo che le aspettative erano più alte. Il condizionatore un rumore infernale. il wifi non funzionava inizialmente ma poi sono venuti a risolvere il problema. La doccia e di conseguenza il bagno si allagano perché è tutto aperto e allo stesso livello. Il frigo non ghiaccia. Forse però erano solo problemi della mia stanza.
Las instalaciones, piscina, restaurante...
Gute Lage, schöne Anlage,
Klimaanlage war laut und funktionsarm
Bon emplacement pour se rendre au parc. Superbe extérieur, bien entretenu au milieu de la jungle. Belles piscines. Nourriture variée et excellente au restaurant. Personnel extrêmement gentil et serviable !
La salle de bain était vraiment vétuste, avec des mauvaises odeurs. Connexion wifi difficilement accessible dans notre chambre
Struttura molto caratteristica: abbiamo alloggiato in questa tenda-palafitta dotata di tutti i confort e con bagno all’aperto. La struttura ha anche un ristorante, due piscine e un parco giochi. Nel complesso molto carina, molto rilassante. Abbiamo anche usufruito del loro Safari. Debbo dire ben organizzato, non so dire se prezzo nella media o alto perché per mancanza di tempo per organizzarlo mi sono direttamente affidata a loro.
Forse a tratti un po’ fatiscente, andrebbe data una rinfrescata e ristrutturazione generale. Piscina piena di foglie. Capisco che essendo completamente immerso nella natura, molto è dovuto a questo.
El lugar es increíble y súper natural, parece que estés en la selva. La cabaña es muy amplia y cómoda, cuenta con A/C , secador, terraza, TV, etc. el buffet de media pensión es muy bueno y variado.
No había mucha agua caliente lo cual era complicado poder llenar la bañera tan bonita que tenían. El menú cerrado de media pensión es un poco ajustado, mucho mejor el buffet. Las almohadas poco cómodas.
Vriendelijk personeel, fijne huisjes aan het zwembad. Ideale locatie voor bezoek aan Udawele National park. Safari via hotel geregeld.

Caloroso benvenuto, staff gentile e super disponibile! Colazione ottima, con alternative anche internazionali. Bella piscina, anche se un po’ sporca di foglie. Ci hanno organizzato loro il safari e ci siamo trovati bene!
L’acqua della doccia non caldisssima.
De zeer mooi ingerichte glampingtenten. Zeer uitgebreide menukaart.
Tutto, dalla location al ristorante, dai servizi al personale! Casetta veramente bella e suggestiva vista piscina; ristorante con una buona varietà e bontà; colazione buona e abbondante; personale molto cordiale, sorridente e ci ha fatto veramente piacere chiacchierare con loro. Con loro abbiamo prenotato il safari all’alba, piacevole esperienza.
Eine tolle Anlage. Wir hatten 2 Glampingzelte/Deluxezelte. Diese sind auf Stelzen gebaut und haben ein openair-Bad. Das riesige Bett wartet einem Mückenschutz versehen. Der Pool war sauber und die vom Hotel gebuchte Safari zum Sonnenaufgang toll. Das Frühstück in Buffetform war toll.
Am ersten Abend gab es ein tolles Abendessen am Buffet. Am 2. Abend leider aller Card. Obwohl die Gerichte bereits am Nachmittag ausgewählt werden mussten, kamen die Gerichte um mehr als eine Stunde zeitversetzt.
Struttura molto bella ne verde. Abbiamo soggiornato in tenda senza ac ma nel periodo in cui siamo stati si stava bene solo col ventilatore di cui la tenda è dotata. Presente in tenda tutto il necessario e zanzariere intorno al letto. Bagno esterno ma completo di tutto. Staff molto gentile, cibo buono. Safari organizzato da loro eccellente.
Die Anlage ist Mega schön gestaltet, die zwei Pools sind sehr gross und sauber, es gibt ausreichend Liegen und Schirme. Das Luxuszelt ist super toll eingerichtet, tolle Aussendusche. Affen kamen zu Besuch. Das Personal war total freundlich und hilfreich, vor allem im Restaurant. Dort kann man (für uns unerwartet) sehr gut essen.
Die Mücken ;) aber das hat nichts mit der Unterkunft zu tun. Die Betten waren mit Moskitonetz ausgestattet.
Outdoor Bad ein Erlebnis. Riesen Pool. Moskito Netz über dem Bett. Büffett am ersten Abend war super. Verschiedene Brotsorten zum Frühstück. Quark bzw yoghurt zum Frühstück Safari Start ab Unterkunft. Konnten die Parktickets selber kaufen. dadurch keine Kommision für die Tickets. Jeep preise für die Safari fair. Schönes Ambiente beim Abendessen.
Kein frischer Saft zum Frühstück. Kein kostenloses Wasser zum Frühstück. Personal als einzige Unterkunft in 2 w und zum Vergleich aller in der Zeit bewohnten Unterkünfte am unmotiviertesten. 2. a la carte Abendessen trotz Vorbestellung extrem lange Wartezeit . Die ersten waren schon lange fertig bis dann die weiteren Essen kamen. Bei einer 1- Personen Küche könnte man das nachvollziehen, aber nicht bei einer Anlage der Größe. Kaffee war extrem dünn.
Best place at Udawalawe! We love it! Friendly staff!
Wi-Fi
Abbiamo trascorso una notte dopo il Safari ad Posto in mezzo alla natura con grandi potenzialità, forse un po’ trascurato perché in bassa stagione? La nostra tenda standard era poco accogliente e con molti spifferi La cucina nella media Se dovessi tornare proverei altro.
Caldo nella tenda
L’accueil et la disposition des chambres. L’originalité de la salle de bain a l’extérieur
La literie ( matelas trop petit et très dur )
We kregen een gratis upgrade. Enorm genoten van ons verblijf
Cute accommodation, lovely staff, a lot of space
Breakfast is ok (I would skip it), safari driver came 30 min too late - but he did a great job during the safari :)
Great value for money, super clean and had all amenities. Staff were super helpful. Would 1000% recommend to families, couples and even solo travellers.
N/A
Le personnel réactif lorsque nous les contactons par message. La proximité avec le parc national d’Udalawawe Le guide était adorable pour le safari
Rien, parfait pour une étape du voyage.
Las instalaciones, la pileta, el cuarto increíble, el baño afuera es genial!
El restaurant cerraba muy temprano y no tenían todo lo del menú.
Great spacious bedrooms with cute outdoor bathroom. Balcony overlooked the pool. The breakfast was v good, great selection and an egg bar for fresh omelette
Little bit out of the way
We enjoyed our stay here. The luxury tent accommodation was fun. The A/C worked well. The pool was refreshing. The buffet breakfast was ok. The resident monkeys entertained us by playing on our balcony and running over our roof.
The pool was a little cloudy - it could have been clearer.
The location was beautiful and the pool was great. The staff were lovely and helped organise our safari trip!
Nothing!
Scam beware . Option for room only is untrue he will make you pay for the safari or cancel your room This was a scam. We booked the room only option and once we arrived the manager told us if we didn’t book the safari too through him he would cancel our rooms and we’d have to find alternative accommodation. At half 9 at night, two girls being told they would be kicked out if they didn’t comply was very threatening and made us feel very uncomfortable. (Also no towel in one room, no sheet in the other and no WiFi but the forced safari kinda trumped those little things)
Traumhafte Lage oberhalb eines Flussbettes. Außergewöhnlich schöne Bungalows mit sehr geräumigem Open-Air Badezimmer.
Nichts zu bemöngeln
Les piscines sont très chouettes et propres. Il y a beaucoup de singes dans les arbres mais c’est très choupi. Les sortes de maisons sont spacieuses, propres et agréable. La salle de bain dehors rajoute un petit plus.
Le jet de la douche est très faible et la lumière le matin entre dans les chambres.
I made the booking through booking.com, and the hotel didn't show me the full amount on the bill, it was the price. They made a separate bill and charged me a different amount.
Très bon rapport qualité prix pour un hôtel bien situé près du parc national d’Udawalawe. La piscine est un vrai plus !
Piscina e ristorante in loco
Il personale parla pochissimo l’inglese ed è veramente difficile comunicare
Petite tente, sans air climatisé, mais confortable. La nourriture au restaurant était excellente!
Sweet service
Very dirty shower and bathroom. No internet or connection in the room
Easily the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka, awesome little houses, nice pool, even the fish massage pool was fun addition. The rooms are spacious and the outdoor bathroom is so lovely and cozy. The breakfast buffet is delicious as is the rest of the food, big portions for great prices. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, after arrival we got chilled towel and a juice. Loved it!
Die Lage war gut. Das Essen prima. Die Unterkunft war schön und ok. Xander unser Guide vom Hotel für die Safari war sooo toll. Viel Wissen, er kennt all die Spots und nimmt nicht die abgetrampelten Pfade.
Das Bad war zwar ein OutdoorBad was ich mag, aber ich fand es nicht anmächelig.
This was our 6th visit think that says it all.
De accomodatie was in een hele mooie omgeving. We kregen koude handdoekjes en een sapje bij ontvangst. Via het hotel hadden we een safari geregeld, wat goed georganiseerd was.
De badkamer was verouderd, maar wel schoon.
Super tolle Unterkunft, hatten den Pool quasi für uns. Mitarbeiter waren alle super freundlich! Frühstück hatte ein gute Auswahl :)
Cappuccino aus der siebträger musste man extra zahlen, Filterkaffee gab es aber auch umsonst.
Pools were nice, bed was comfy
The tests were bit outworn and dirty.
Nous avons logé dans les cabanes vues piscine très spacieuse avec 2 lits une table une terrasse et une magnifique et immense salle de bain extérieure ! Le petit déjeuner était un buffet très bien. Le soir le repas était très bon aussi. Super pour se poser en revenant de Safari !
El entorno, es como estar en la Selva. Las habitaciones muy cómodas
very good for short stay
cockroaches in bathroom, living behind toilet. I understand that this is nature, and lizards and mosquitoes are fine, but those were cockroaches because of poor and old bathroom

Great stay and great staff! Safari was great
