The hosts are very kind and welcoming, and the house itself is clean and comfortable. The hosts arranged two safaris for us which were both excellent; the driver picked us up directly from the accommodation and was very knowledgeable about the park. We had the car completely to ourselves as well. The hosts provided breakfast in the morning, and also gave us water bottles and coffees for the safaris. During our second day we were reading on the lovely terrace and the host even came up with a fresh mango for us which was delicious.

We were often the only ones around. We loved that he was able to share facts and all types of details about what we saw. Excellent english as well.

He was such a helpful and thoughtful host, thank you so much for your kindness!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3BB86EFBD6E1D21EFBF342C797DD174ACE9DBCD71703675969561.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A7F90C480C00C73E193B9C335EF35364DAAF222F1703675967844.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F1675C4821AEEA551F8747487A4200D0E638C2591703675966818.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Etienne Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manomi Nov 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Incredibly nice room, super-friendly hosts, delicious food. ##### Manomi Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tegan Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka! Lovely family run accommodation in a quiet area. The family were so welcoming and it was such a pleasure getting to know them. The room was very spacious , clean , nicely decorated and very comfortable. We had dinner and had big portions of delicious , authentic , home cooked food. We also had a lovely traditional Sri Lankan breakfast there. They arranged our morning safari which was so memorable and we had a fantastic guide. We were even given water and iced coffee for the journey! It is excellent value for money and I would recommend this guest house to anyone. ##### Tegan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dariusz Jan 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay Fantastic room, very friendly and helpful staff, fabulous views from the balcony.

They set us up with a great safari guide, and cooked up some delicious traditional Sri Lankan food. This stay is a great value for your money and I would highly recommend if you’re planning on visiting Uduwalawa. ##### Christian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce Feb 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice property Nice property. Quiet leafy location not far from town. Friendly owner and family. Clean sheets/linen and comfortable bed. Quiet a/c and adequate wifi. Excellent breakfast. Only thing lacking was desk/chair and TV in room. I would stay again - good value and convenient to Udawalawa National Park Safari jeeps. ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick Mar 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 5 star customer service by this hotel. Tiron informed us before we arrived that there was an issue with the room, so he took the liberty to book us an alternative hotel that turned out to be just as nice as his! Communication was easy with him via WhatsApp, allowing us to easily book a safari the very next morning with a very well spoken and knowledgeable driver/guide. 10/10 would stay again. ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### SYDNEY Jun 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Stay! Wonderful stay! Rooms are very clean and spacious. There is AC and a fan in the room. We chose to eat dinner at the hotel because there were not many options in the nearby town. The food was amazing and it was a nice experience to have a local home cooked meal. Breakfast was also fantastic. Excellent value for money. We just stayed 1 night and did a sunrise safari in the morning. The hotel also arranged a taxi for us down to Mirissa after our safari tour. 10/10 and would definitely stay again. ##### SYDNEY Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Marko Dec 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort There was a mixup with our reservation. Owner had organized us to stay in his brothers place, which was good. Even though our relocation he took care of us; organized safari with good driver/guide, gave us several lifts to the village center, as well as restaurant recommendations. He also got us comfotable car to get into Unawatuna. Even though I can't say anything about rooms or food in this hotel, I would book again just because of service was great and everything was taken care of regarding this mixup before we arrived. ##### Marko Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyndsay Jan 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Incredible hospitality We were welcomed by the owner as if we were family and our stay here had that exact same vibe throughout. We were cooked the most amazing traditional Sri Lankan dinner before retiring to our room for the night. The room had its own balcony, basic bathroom and two huge beds. There was air con or fans and tea & coffee making facilities. It was basic but just what we needed for a one night stay. We had an early start and the hired organised our half day Safari at Udawalawe national park which was the most incredible experience. After that we called in at the elephant orphanage before heading back to the safari house for a monster of a breakfast. We would highly recommend this hotel as a base for the Udawalawe national park. The hosts were incredible and nothing was too much trouble. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/888DE55E11332467003C6DAFC2822DB092A117631675153648312.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0BBA8A796E23D2DCD85386DA8356BCAEBDA6D9991675153648322.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A8B80FA084B28DDE3429361E0CA94E7B701844E21675153646295.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42B75E271898EE283855F23EB97FDA3A120FE1B81675153648185.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lyndsay Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Sinharaja Forest Gate](https://www.expedia.ca/SINHARAJA-FOREST-GATE.h27731206.Hotel-Information) > - [Paradise Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Paradise-Holiday-Village.h107271306.Hotel-Information) > - [Jetwing Surf & Safari, A Luxury Reserve](https://www.expedia.ca/Pottuvil-Hotels-Jetwing-Surf.h19959056.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weerawila-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Weerawila-Rajawarna-Resort.h23701470.Hotel-Information) > - [Isana Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Morakatiyara-Hotels-Isana-Beach-House.h15616300.Hotel-Information) > - [Sinharaja Forest Sanctuary Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/KL-Sinharaja.h17894705.Hotel-Information) > - [Room in Villa - Surf 247 Weligama - Deluxe Double Room With Side Sea View](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Surf-247-Weligama-Deluxe-Double-Room-With-Side-Sea-View.h101827338.Hotel-Information) > - [Rani Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Rani-Beach-Hotel.h101747283.Hotel-Information) > - [Beyond The Sea By Ceylonese ](https://www.expedia.ca/Madampagama-Hotels-Beyond-The-Sea-By-Ceylonese.h102023903.Hotel-Information) > - [Mawella Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tangalle-Hotels-Mawella-Beach-Resort.h45673435.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa With Private Plunge pool ](https://www.expedia.ca/Panadura-Hotels-Villa-With-Private-Plunge-Pool.h21651510.Hotel-Information) > - [Bridge Hotel Negombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Bridge-Hotel-Negombo.h13425310.Hotel-Information) > - [Paddyway Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Paddyway-Resort.h94750644.Hotel-Information) > - [The River House by Asia Leisure](https://www.expedia.ca/Balapitiya-Hotels-The-River-House-By-Asia-Leisure.h10984031.Hotel-Information) > - [Wind Mill Villa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Wind-Mill-Hotel.h36171069.Hotel-Information) > - [Arne's Place The Friendliest Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Arnes-Place-The-Friendliest-Hotel.h45786442.Hotel-Information) > - [Kitelantis Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalpitiya-Hotels-Kitelantis-Hotel-And-Resort.h31693921.Hotel-Information) > - [Palm Paradise Cabanas & Villas Beach Resort Tangalle](https://www.expedia.ca/Tangalle-Hotels-Palm-Paradise-Cabanas-Villas-Beach-Resort-Tangalle.h7564363.Hotel-Information) > - [Mama Beach Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Mama-Beach-Villa.h19769396.Hotel-Information) > - [Jetwing Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Jetwing-Beach.h1451532.Hotel-Information) > - [Palmstone Retreat - Kithulgala](https://www.expedia.ca/Kithulgala-Hotels-Palmstone-Retreat-Kithulgala.h12629851.Hotel-Information) > - [Laana Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Laana-Villa.h39678361.Hotel-Information) > - [Desire Village Rakwana](https://www.expedia.ca/Godakewela-Hotels-Desire-Village-Rakwana.h44124849.Hotel-Information) > - [Beach Wave Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Beach-Wave-Hotel.h18243801.Hotel-Information) > - [Tropicana homestay](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Tropicana-Homestay.h23164022.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.ca/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > - [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) > - [Terrace Green Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Terrace-Green-Hotel-Spa.h12662808.Hotel-Information)
