Such a lovely little place to stay for the night. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff were so kind and lovely, the home cooked food was some of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. They also arranged a safari for us, we had a jeep to ourselves, and saw many animals (elephants, monkeys, mongoose). All in all a fabulous experience, and incredible value for money.

Their dinner and breakfast were good. The safari jeep was very useful and cheaper than others. The room was very basic but clean and enough for one night.

Good place to stay if you’re planning to go on safari. Value for money. Competitive safari prices offered by the host

Bra för en natt om man skall på safari
En liten lodge med enbart tre rum som drivs av en familj. Då vi var ensamma där just den natten fick vi välja själva när vi ville ha middag och frukost (vet inte hur det funkar annars). Vi skulle ut på safari tidigt så vi fick frukosten i ett paket att ta med. Det fanns ingen meny till middag, så vi fick äta det som bjöds, men det vär väldigt gott. Det finns inget att göra i närheten förutom att ta safari i nationalparken, men om man bara är där för safarin en natt funkar det bra. De har även en safarijeep och de erbjöd 3h-tur för ~8000LKR (~$45USD). Det enda vi kan klaga på var att wi-fi var ganska dåligt.

Nice guesthouse close to the safari park
My wife and I stayed at Elephant Rest Udawalawa for one night. The room was clean and comfortable and well put together. We had dinner and breakfast at the guesthouse and both were very tasty and generous portions. We were able to book our safari at the guesthouse and also our onward taxi to Mirissa. The service was friendly and efficient. Overall we were happy with our stay and we would recommend this guesthouse.

Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Dirty, dusty, needs Maintaining
We had booked a 2 night stay due to the good reviews, and with the intention to go on the 'value for money' safari trip. Our taxi dropped us off midday, there was no one on reception to greet us. No water, tea, or refreshment of any kind. However, a maid told us we could go into our allocated room. This had not been prepared recently, as I found a dead lizard and dead flies in the bathroom. Apart from that the room and bed looked clean. We decided to cut our stay down to one night, do the safari that evening (which was great), then move to another hotel 10km away which was cheaper, lovely and clean, and had a swimming pool. Thank you to Hotels.com for sorting out a refund.

Simple but cozy and clean place run by an extremely friendly family. Hotel has their own safari truck that can be rented out with a driver for a very reasonable price.

A nice little oasis in a poor place.
A very friendly and service minded host indeed. A nice little place in a regular village in Sri Lanka. Nothing to see or do in the surrounding parts except for the Udawalawe National park. When asked about the price for a safari they forgot to mention the fee for the park itself which was three times the fee for the car and guide. Luckily we had just enough cash! The dinner and breakfast were both exceptionally tasty! Lovely family that hosts the place!
