Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Very friendly family that cared for my daughter who was sick during our stay! They made us special tea, steams and asked about our wellbeing. The place offers a calm atmosphere, good for relaxing especially at the new pool. The rooms were very clean and one of them was newly built! Nice interior with a good taste, open shower created a nice atmosphere. The cooking class( 5900 LKR pp.) was very nice and gave us a good insight in Sri Lankan cuisine. Swarnas expertise in the kitchen was exceptional and she taught us a lot about different spices! The safari was also great, we were happy to see elephants. ( 35$ pp plus entrance fee for the park)
Negative: Even though we knew the location was gonna be remote, it is good to know that there is really nothing in walking distance other than sugar cane fields, however Janik offered to bring us wherever we wanted to.
Summary: Remote oasis that is run by a friendly family

Positive: Absolutely everything.... the accommodation is stunning with a very romantic feel to the rooms and an amazing outdoor shower... the cafe is beautifully furnished and the food served by Janik and his family is of the very highest quality. I was even lucky enough to have giant fresh water prawns during my stay... and a very relaxing and informative ayurvedic treatment with the local doctor. The pool is a fantastic bonus which I enjoyed every day before breakfast and after my safari... everything was exceptionally easy and completely stress-free. My safari was mind-blowing, we visited the local temple before meeting with the head monk to receive a blessing before our safari rhe next day (i am buddhist) and seeing so many herds of elephants and lone adults along with a huge number of birds and crocodiles, buffalo, deer and of course the many peacocks was more than i ever hoped for but the absolute most amazing thing was that I saw a Sri Lankan Wild Cat... (a blessing from Buddha) In fact, it walked by us within just a few metres... perhaps the most elusive of all animals even Janik had not seen one... one of the best experiences of my entire trip in Sri Lanka, and I can not wait to do it again when I return next year to explore more of this truly beautiful country and to meet more of the most generous and kind people you could ever wish to meet.
Negative: There wasn't anything to dislike... i could say time... as it would have been wonderful to stay longer like the German family who came for a few days and are staying for a few weeks.. it really is that special
Summary: A wild Adventure

Positive: Although we only stayed one night at Amba Kola, it instantly felt like home. Janik went above and beyond to organize a safari for us that truly exceeded all expectations. We saw countless animals including elephants, various monkeys and birds, crocodiles, and water buffalo. Our safari driver was incredibly experienced and guided us safely through the national park. Janik’s mother is an absolutely amazing cook. We had the best lunch and breakfast of our entire trip in Sri Lanka. The rooms are modern, spotless, and beautifully designed. A real highlight was the bathroom with a view straight into the jungle. Simply unforgettable! On top of that, they prepared a special lunch package for our journey to Colombo and even had our tuk-tuk washed for us. Amba Kola was by far the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka, and we recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone visiting the country. Don’t miss out on this gem!

Positive: As we really wanted to see wild elephants, we made a stop in Udawalawe, but spotting them wasn't our biggest suprise here. We stayed at the Amba Kola hotel and this was just the most wonderful experience. The kindest owners truely, the nicest room, a brand new and well kept pool, the most delicious food from the entire trip, and playful dogs amongst which the two most adorable puppies  🐶 As mentionned, the food was incredible and we had the chance to take part in the preparation by doing the cooking class with the owner. Something you should really try after a morning safari.  Janik is also so kind, ready to help you with anything, answer any question. He will make everything in his power to make you feel like the most valuable guest on the planet. If you are passing by, really we can't recommend it enough 😍 (we thought the 10 on booking was impossible. Well we thought wrong)
Negative: Honestly, hard to dislike something.
Summary: A gem amongst the elephants

Positive: Udawalawe was a great stopover during our Sri Lanka trip. We visited many parks but this one was exceptional for the close elephant encounters. They literally walk so close to the jeeps you *could* touch them (obviously don't!) Amba Kola was the perfect choice while visiting the area. Its Best to stay close by so you can visit when the animals are most active (in the early morning and late afternoon). We were shown amazing hospitality from Janik and his wonderful and talented chef mother. We organised an in house cooking class and safari with them and both were excellent. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable in all our trip... And breakfast was also the best we have had. This hotel is fantastic value for money - the room was incredible. I would love to stay here again and make some more Sri Lankan curries. Thanks Janik for a lovely stay. :)
