Deserves all 5 star 🌟 rating, totally amazing place, loved every minute of pur stay, only wish we had booked longer. From the moment we pulled up to the lodge and were welcomed with a handshake and a great smile from Tiron. The place really does look like a Safari Lodge , standing as it is in the Jungle. We were given a huge room with 2 king sized beds - air conditioning- tea & coffee making facilities - large bathroom, we even had a private terrace & balcony with tables & chairs. Woke early and had cup of tea on the terrace. Beautifully quiet and peaceful with only birdsong to be heard , and a squirrel scampering around on the roof. Absolutely stunning place. Tiron the manager/ proprietor arranged a safari trip for us. It was faultless, picked up at hotel on time by one of the hotel’s own vehicles. Very comfortable and we had it to ourselves. Friendly and knowledgeable driver / guide. We had a fabulous evening meal at the Lodge , home cooked Sri Lankan food served buffet style. Large variety of menu items all freshly cooked and hot .Absolutely delicious. The breakfast that was included and was also extremely good. Plenty to choose from - lovely Ceylon Tea . Really enjoyed our stay there. Wonderful value for money- charming hosts and excellent hospitality. Highly recommended.
Better than I thought when booking.The tents are fairly comfortable but very hot at night.The showers weren't particularly hot, but clean & OK.The staff were polite but the staff seemed to lack confidence were a but out if sorts & at other times perhaps tried to hard.I think there may be a lack of direction from a management level but stay was OK. 2 nights is enough as Udawalawe doesn't offer a great deal more than a safari
I had a great room with a terrace, a small bungalow. The room was clean and had everything you needed, even felt like you were taking an outdoor shower. Max is a wonderful host and fulfills every wish. The organization of the safari was great. The food was delicious. His mother cooked and it was excellent. In addition, Max is an excellent singer. He played his guitar and sang for us at dinner. I just loved it. Just ask Max, he likes it. I will definitely come again. Thank you Max for this great experience and everything Ich hatte ein super Zimmer mit Terrasse, einen kleinen Bungalow. Das Zimmer war sauber und es war alles da, was man braucht, sogar das Gefühl, man duscht im freien. Max ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber und erfüllt einem jeden Wunsch. Die Organisation der Safari war super. Das Essen war super lecker. Seine Mutter hat gekocht und das ausgezeichnet. Dazu ist Max ein ausgezeichneter Sänger. Er hat uns zum Abendessen auf seiner Gitarre etwas vorgespielt und gesungen. Ich war einfach nur begeistert. Max einfach fragen, er macht das gern. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. Danke Max für diese tolle Erfahrung und alles
