Trevligt glamping-boende.
Trevlig glamping-resort, nära till Udawalele nationalpark vilket var stora anledningen till mitt besök. Maten var okej, lite dyr buffé på kvällen sett till vad som serverades. Lyckades inte lösa så jag kunde dela safari-tripp med andra sällskap och ja tror ärligt att de inte försökte, ju fler bilar desto mer pengar in. Annars fick jag god hjälp med att lösa bussresa vidare till Ella.

Superbe établissement avec cabanes, nous avons l’impression de dormir dans un cocon. La piscine et les jardins sont très bien entretenus. Il y a des ouvertures un peu partout au niveau de la cabane ce qui fait que si l’on garde la lumière allumée la nuit des insectes peuvent entrer, la moustiquaire nous a sauvé nous nous sommes retrouvés en plein milieu de la nuit avec un énorme scarabée dans la chambre Repas parfait et petit-déjeuner très complet ! Avec beaucoup de choix selon nos envies sucré / salé ! Top !

Zeer tevreden!
Zeer tevreden verblijf! Het resort organiseerde een geweldige safari met zeer enthousiaste gids. Het park is prachtig en restaurant serveert prima eten.
Arnoud, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff made me feel welcome and safe from the moment I arrived. They organised for me to share a morning safari with another couple who were staying there - this way we all saved money and it’s better for the environment. I really appreciated this! Our guide for the Safari “Parera” was fantastic! He made sure we were the second Jeep in the park, and drive quickly but safely and professionally. He knew many species of animal and always stopped for everything. He could spot a gecko on a tree ten metres away! When we reached the end of our safari we found a mother and baby elephant having a mud bath. It was so beautiful and we watched for so long even though we went over time - Parera called the hotel and made sure they waited for us to return so we could have breakfast and watch the elephants for longer. Thank you so much Parera!

Très bon rapport qualité/prix
Très bel endroit, la chambre donnant directement sur la piscine était superbe et le staff est super. La nourriture du restaurant était très moyenne par contre, mais vu qu’en nous y avons passé une seule nuit cela convenait (de toute façon avons pas d’autre option car le « village » d’Uda Walawe n’est pas trop accessible à pied et de toute façon il n’y a pas grand chose...). La chambre était très charmante, petit bemol pour la salle de bain exterieure : jolie, mais dans un univers très « végétal » comme celui de l’hôtel c’est vite envahi d’insectes... À part ce détail, tout était super !

Das Hotel ist sehr schön gelegen und insbesondere die Poolvillen sind idyllisch um einen tollen Pool gelegen. Verpflegung (Buffet) war sehr gut, ausnahmslos alle Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Die Safari (über das Hotel gebucht) war die beste (wir haben drei in drei verschiedenen Parks gemacht) und Udawalawe gleicht einem Garten Eden. Abstriche muss man im Hotel bei der Sauberkeit machen, nicht alles war in tadellosem Zustand: Scheiben der Bungalows zum Teil zerbrochen, viele Spinnweben überall, angeschmuddelte Sitze vor den Poolvillen. Bett und Bad waren aber sehr sauber und die AC funktionierte bestens, daher insgesamt eine klare Empfehlung für eine oder zwei Nächte.

Tolle Lage, insbesondere der Poolvillen, und sehr schöner, idyllischer Poolbereich. Restaurant mit reichlich Auswahl und alles war lecker. Die angebotene Safari war preislich gut und die Durchführung super. Udawalawe ist wie ein Garten Eden und hat uns besser gefallen als Yala und Wilpattu, denn es gab weniger Jeeps und viel mehr Tiere und sehr schöne Landschaft. Die Poolvillen und die Poolliegen sind zum Teil in schlechterem Zustand, als die Fotos suggerieren: Teils zerbrochene Scheiben (aber noch dicht),Spinnweben, angeschmuddelte Sitze vor den Poolvillen und z.T. schmutzigeLiegen. Bett, Bad und AC waren aber in tadellosem Zustand und auch das Gelände wirkte gepflegt. Insgesamt daher eine klare Empfehlung für ein oder zwei Nächte.

The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to please guests. We enjoyed the idea of the outside bathroom, but there were thousands of ants. The grounds were lovely as well. Restaurant is okay but I loved the special "date night" tables they had

2/10 Poor

They may give your room away!
We booked 2 months in advance and had been in contact with resort in the weeks leading up to our trip. When we arrived, we were told they didn’t have our booked room available as the had double booked it. They offered a tent, which we didn’t want as we had been camping up to this point and wanted closed walls to keep insects out. They weren’t apologetic at all and we found a different place to stay as a result. We wouldn’t book again. Poor customer service. Lack of consideration for plans around travel. And we found out later that they overcharge for safaris. So we are glad we didn’t end up with them.

Topper van formaat !
Een prachtige resort met heerlijk personeel. Prima tenten met alle luxe. Heerlijk restaurant en keuken. Een topper van formaat voor een heel aanvaardbare prijs. Zeker boeken !!

Basic accommodation set in nice grounds with two decent swimming pools. Go for the poolside rooms if you want to stay here. This property also can organise jeep safaris to the Udawalawe park. Email the hotel to organise this ahead of time, we’ll worth it. Did 6 hour tour with breakfast, guide was excellent. Saw dozens of elephants. Much better than Yala for elephant and other wildlife spotting (did an 8 hr trip to Yala the next day and saw almost nothing as the forest is so dense at times and overcrowded with noisy jeeps)

Hyggeligt område
Vi boede i telt med udsigt ind mod junglen, hvilket gjorde det intimt og hyggeligt.. Hotel området var hyggeligt og gennemført. Maden var ikke den store oplevelse.

Beautiful resort, with lovely rooms. Ideal for doing a safari, the hotel organised our driver for us and a taxi for the following day.

Fun experience in the tents!
We only had 1 night here, to do 2 safaris at Udawalawe National Park. Hotel organised us the safaris very easily, around 20 mins drive away from the park but it is fun travelling in the Jeep. We stayed in the permanent tents, which was really fun and added to the safari feel! Tents were fine, have aircon and mosquito nets. Nice pool areas and restaurant was fine for food and beers.

4/10 Fair

Don’t book
Good idea. Done badly. Tents with aircon and bathroom✅. Ridiculously close to busy road so no sleep. Checkin and restaurant staff all seemed a bit disinterested. Bed sheets with big holes like the dog had been wrestling with them. Just weird. And no real interest in solving our problems. Skip it.
