Very kind and helpful hosts, who loaned their umbrellas to us and accommodated our last minute change of breakfast time when we were running late from a morning hike. They also packed our breakfast to go when we checked out early on our last day. Walking along the train tracks is by far the best way to get to town and back in under 10 minutes. The paved road is quite windy and steep, so even the tuk-tuks struggle on it. It's a rustic place in the middle of nature, so don't be surprised by a few ants or a cricket. The toilet tank also wasn't refilling well on our last night. Just small issues. ##### GENET ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Sigiriya Kingdom Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dambulla-Hotels-Sigiriya-Kingdom-Gate-Hotel.h39410481.Hotel-Information) > - [Mount Hunt Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Beragala-Hotels-Mount-Hunt-Resort.h111451013.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Lé Maas Tota](https://www.expedia.ca/Koslanda-Hotels-Villa-Le-Maas-Tota.h100988189.Hotel-Information) > - [Lagoon Waves](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Lagoon-Waves.h96138318.Hotel-Information) > - [Yala Safari Camping](https://www.expedia.ca/Kataragama-Hotels-Yala-Safari-Camping.h11568511.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) > - [La Casa Udawalawe](https://www.expedia.ca/Embilipitiya-Hotels-La-Casa-Udawalawe.h39068049.Hotel-Information) > - [Isana Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Morakatiyara-Hotels-Isana-Beach-House.h15616300.Hotel-Information) > - [Beyond The Sea By Ceylonese ](https://www.expedia.ca/Madampagama-Hotels-Beyond-The-Sea-By-Ceylonese.h102023903.Hotel-Information) > - [HERITAZ VILLA ELLA](https://www.expedia.ca/HERITAZ-VILLA-ELLA.h100594850.Hotel-Information) > - [Paddyway Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Paddyway-Resort.h94750644.Hotel-Information) > - [Ladja Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ambalanthota-Hotels-Ladja-Beach-Resort.h42476991.Hotel-Information) > - [The River House by Asia Leisure](https://www.expedia.ca/Balapitiya-Hotels-The-River-House-By-Asia-Leisure.h10984031.Hotel-Information) > - [R Degrees Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ambalangoda-Hotels-R-Degrees-Ambalangoda.h16627242.Hotel-Information) > - [Saninro Hotel Ragama](https://www.expedia.ca/Ragama-Hotels-Saninro-Hotel-Ragama.h16792041.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) > - [House of Ahasna](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-House-Of-Ahasna.h33143768.Hotel-Information) > - [Palmstone Retreat - Kithulgala](https://www.expedia.ca/Kithulgala-Hotels-Palmstone-Retreat-Kithulgala.h12629851.Hotel-Information) > - [Traveller's Home Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Travellers-Home-Hotel.h16207011.Hotel-Information) > - [Beach Wave Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Beach-Wave-Hotel.h18243801.Hotel-Information) > - [Explorer by Eco Team - Wasgamuwa National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Maraka-Hotels-Explorer-By-Eco-Team-Wasgamuwa-National-Park.h18285934.Hotel-Information) > - [Jetwing Kaduruketha](https://www.expedia.ca/Wellawaya-Hotels-Jetwing-Kaduruketha.h12874957.Hotel-Information) > - [Randula Grand Venus](https://www.expedia.ca/Kadawatha-Hotels-Randula-Grand-Venus.h21602113.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) > - [Jetwing Villa 700](https://www.expedia.ca/Induruwa-Hotels-Villa-700.h23062064.Hotel-Information)
