"Great stay with a great atmosphere, it even has a pool that isn't included in the photos! The staff were excellent, very friendly and helped us to organise our safari as well as travel within and out of Udawalawe. The food was excellent too and good value for money. They are still constructing part of the site so there is a bit of noise but it looked nearly finished and it wasn't disruptive to our stay "

"Overall, a great experience, staff were very helpful and accommodating for every need. The main returns and al la carte restaurants were very good quality. The only recommendation that prevented 5 star rating was the quality/strength of wifi available "

"Had an excellent stay at the property, staff were amazing and had everything we needed, everything was well maintained, pool was great, highlight was the safari which we booked through the property. Would definitely recommend staying here. "

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location not far from national park. Bed was comfortable. Wasn't sure about the outdoor bathroom but other people may like it. Basic but functional room."

"Arriving at the entrance was really impressive. We were greeted with a cool drink and big umbrellas as the rain thundered down! The rain meant we couldn't use the pool, which looked lovely, and our original room had leaks, so we were taken to different rooms, which were much better. The rooms were clean. We were a short drive to the safari. All in all, great value for money and a very nice team working there - they just need to finish some of the maintenance work (to stop things like leaks!)."

"Friendly staff. Clean room"

"We loved our stay at Elephants Rest, it was so peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The meals were freshly cooked and excellent. They also arranged the safari for us, which was excellent. Thank you 😊 "

"Very clean room.Lovely pool. The hotel is out of the way near the river. We loved the tranquil setting. Apart from our safari trip (which was arranged by the owner) we didn’t leave the hotel, which suited us because the food provided at the hotel is delicious. The only negative thing I would say is they could do with upgrading the recliners by the pool. "

"Room was clean and staff service was impeccable."
