Vid ankomst blev vi väl mottagna och hotellvärden hade en lång monolog där han menade att det fanns många oseriösa safaris och att han inte kunde ansvara för vår säkerhet om inte han ordnade safarin. Han antydde också att vi inte kunde bo där om vi åkte med en annan arrangör och frågade vad vi tänkte om det. Vi svarade att vi skulle tänka på det eftersom vi redan berättat för honom att vi bokat och betalat en annan guidefirma och inte kunde avboka...

Top Rankethgama Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Hambantota

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing hotel for kids and families. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful with a pristine golf course. Nature is all around"

The Countryside Udawalawe

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel couldn’t have been better! The room looked onto the pool and was beautiful. The rain couldn’t be helped but it was quite loud against the roof of the room. The Sri Lankan breakfast after my safari was lovely and I also had dinner the night before, however I would say there wasn’t very clear communication of timings or where to go once I checked in but for dinner the guy from the hotel on WhatsApp answered all of my questions."

Mansala Safari House

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place. The people were very accommodating and helpful. Would recommend the private safari the drivers are really good."

Kalu's Hideaway Udawalawe

10/10 Excellent

"A peaceful nature retreat with incredible fresh food. Our stay at Kalu’s Hideaway was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We loved the wholesome farm-to-table dining—tasting fresh red dragon fruit straight from the garden, sweet pineapples, mangos, and delicious Sri Lankan vegetables. The property itself is surrounded by nature. The butterfly garden was an unexpected treat, and waking up to the tranquil morning sounds of birds overlooking the Udawalawe reserve canopy was magical. You can even spot local wildlife right on the grounds, from vibrant water lilies in the ponds to land monitor lizards wandering past. It was such a serene and relaxing escape!"

Elephant Trail

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Extremely helpful staff. Facilities were surprisingly good. Handy location to elephant transit and national park. Nice pool. Highly recommend."

Grand Udawalawe Safari Resort

8/10 Good

"great pool close enough to national park but hotel is a little tired"

Centauria Wild

10/10 Excellent

"nice staff, amazing breakfast, and lake view are one of the best, especially during the sunset"

DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience. Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.” What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay. My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear! Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be. 10/10 for such a great stay!"

Jade Green Hotel Hambantota

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Stay at Jade Green Hotel, Hambantota I had a wonderful stay at Jade Green Hotel, Hambantota. The hotel is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and always ready to help, which made the experience even better. The food was delicious with a good variety, and everything was fresh and well prepared. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm and refreshing, and the location is ideal if you want to enjoy a quiet stay away from the city. Great value for money and truly exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for families, couples, and anyone visiting Hambantota. I would definitely stay here again!"
