Such a lovely little place to stay for the night. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff were so kind and lovely, the home cooked food was some of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. They also arranged a safari for us, we had a jeep to ourselves, and saw many animals (elephants, monkeys, mongoose). All in all a fabulous experience, and incredible value for money.

Accueil au top, on est reçu avec un jus de fruit fraîchement fait, les chambres sont spacieuses, avec une petite terrasse et un salon de jardin en bois, 1 gel douche, 1 shampooing et 1 lotion lime/cinnamon dans la salle de bain, un espace détente avec un terrain de badminton, des échecs et une piscine très agréable, les repas sont préparés minutes et avec attention, prix très corrects. Emplacement idéal à - de 10' du parc. Des hôtes en or, une bouteille d'eau donnée quand je suis partie à 5h45 pour mon safari (ils peuvent vous l'organiser), à midi, Ils m'ont proposé le petit déjeuner si est inclus mais que je n'avais pas pris et le bus pour aller vers Tangalle passe devant chez eux, mais sur à un blocage, la dame m'a gentiment emmenée en scooter jusqu'à la station suivant et s'est assurée que je suis bien dans le bus. Des gens adorables. Allez-y les yeux fermés !

Perfekt för en övernattning om man ska på safari. Litet hotell där ägarna fixar allt, boende, vilken mat man vill, safari, frukostpaket, taxi. Det är bara att fråga, mannen som driver hotellet är otroligt hjälpsam och trevlig!

Their dinner and breakfast were good. The safari jeep was very useful and cheaper than others. The room was very basic but clean and enough for one night.

Bra för en natt om man skall på safari

En liten lodge med enbart tre rum som drivs av en familj. Då vi var ensamma där just den natten fick vi välja själva när vi ville ha middag och frukost (vet inte hur det funkar annars). Vi skulle ut på safari tidigt så vi fick frukosten i ett paket att ta med. Det fanns ingen meny till middag, så vi fick äta det som bjöds, men det vär väldigt gott. Det finns inget att göra i närheten förutom att ta safari i nationalparken, men om man bara är där för safarin en natt funkar det bra. De har även en safarijeep och de erbjöd 3h-tur för ~8000LKR (~$45USD). Det enda vi kan klaga på var att wi-fi var ganska dåligt.

Nice guesthouse close to the safari park

My wife and I stayed at Elephant Rest Udawalawa for one night. The room was clean and comfortable and well put together. We had dinner and breakfast at the guesthouse and both were very tasty and generous portions. We were able to book our safari at the guesthouse and also our onward taxi to Mirissa. The service was friendly and efficient. Overall we were happy with our stay and we would recommend this guesthouse.

Dirty, dusty, needs Maintaining

We had booked a 2 night stay due to the good reviews, and with the intention to go on the 'value for money' safari trip. Our taxi dropped us off midday, there was no one on reception to greet us. No water, tea, or refreshment of any kind. However, a maid told us we could go into our allocated room. This had not been prepared recently, as I found a dead lizard and dead flies in the bathroom. Apart from that the room and bed looked clean. We decided to cut our stay down to one night, do the safari that evening (which was great), then move to another hotel 10km away which was cheaper, lovely and clean, and had a swimming pool. Thank you to Hotels.com for sorting out a refund.
