Positive: This hotel is located in an amazingly beautiful and quiet place on the lake. We were delighted to see dancing peacocks just in front of our room every day, and we even spotted a mongoose and a giant squirrel! The hotel grounds have plenty of cozy spots where you can sit on a bench with your laptop or simply enjoy the views. Our room was spacious, with high ceilings and a private terrace. Everything was clean, and the hot water in the shower was good. The breakfasts were varied and delicious, and the dinners were simply huge. The owner of the hotel, Nimal, treated us to traditional Sri Lankan dishes, as well as incredibly tasty fish caught right in the lake. But the biggest impression was left by the owner himself, Nimal. He is an extraordinarily kind, responsive, and caring person. During our stay, I injured my hand, and Nimal not only helped arrange a visit to the doctor but also personally drove me to the hospital several times in his car, helped me buy medicine, and provided moral support. I am endlessly grateful to him for his kindness and support. This hotel is really perfect for those who appreciate nature, tranquility, and genuine care.

Positive: Very peaceful location right on the lake. Not quiet during the day with peacocks and other birds plus the water buffalo passing twice a day but peaceful nonetheless. Owners were really helpful arranging food safaris and onward transfer.
Negative: It is a little remote if you want to go out at night although there's nowhere really to go. We just stayed in and the owners made us some really good meals.
Summary: Oasis of tranquility

Positive: Amazing setting near the river where water buffalos and birds can be spotted, helpful, friendly host with playful children who showed us the best spots to hike and swim, fantastic cooking to let us discover delicious local flavours, coconut fresh from the tree, great location for safari. It was destiny that brought us here as our original address cancelled for no specific reason. What a stay! Hope to go back one day during the raining season to experience the difference.
Summary: What a stay!

Positive: Amazing place to stay when visiting Udawalawe, beautiful location, the staff and owner were incredible. Once booked, they were very prompt in replying to my questions, organising the safari to Udawalawe. We arrived quite late, but straight away the owner met us as we arrived, showed us straight to the room. Cooked and beautiful dinner, on the floating pontoon over looking the lake, the food was great and there was so much of it. The room was very clean, hot shower and good air conditioning. The safari was again, excellent, we were picked up at 6am, they supplied a small snack and water during the safari, then on return we were supplied with an awesome breakfast, no shortage of great food. All in all, highly recommended, everything you need for your time in Udawalawe. The owner will make you stay a great one, that’s for sure.
Summary: 10/10 highly recommended, amazing host, great food, incredible views.
