Excellent basic accommodations at a great value. The hosts were wonderful, the place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our honeymoon launchpad into the wildlife park. Wonderful hospitality and food!

We stayed one night in Uwadalawe and couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay than Janaka’s. The surroundings are beautiful, perfectly located near the main artery. The bungalow was of a high spec, with all the right finishing touches and more! The host arranged two Safari experiences for us, one at 2:30pm shortly after we’d arrived, and another one for the next morning starting at 5:30am. Both guides were simply fantastic and clearly passionate about wildlife and going out of their way to make sure you have the best experience. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a boutique, authentic Uduwalawe experience.

The rooms, location and uniqueness of the hotel was brilliant. Janaka was an exceptional host making all of the arrangements for cars, trips and the safari even for dates when we weren’t staying in Udewalawe. Chandika, our driver for 4 days was superb as was the safari arranged with Leel. We ate both nights at the hotel and the food was excellent. This is a superb hotel and would definitely recommend it.

We decided spontaniously to go to Udawalawe. We booked this accommondation because it was mentioned at our travel guide book (S. Loose) . It is even better. Prices and service are still very good. The room is clean and has A/C. We booked the 4 hours morning safari with Samantha the owner. The tour starts early, 5:30 a.m. but do it! See Review of Udawalawe national park. After the tour we had a big breakfast before we hunted further. WLAN is running very well. If you stay there given Samantha my greetings.

It was the ideal place for us to relax and spend a great time in front of a really splendid lake view. Hospitality of host Samantha & family was admirable. Two rooms we booked were spacious and comprised all we need like clean & large beds, AC & hot water. Staff was very efficient and all the foods were delicious. Had a great time swimming & fishing in the lake. Also can have a boat ride there with life jackets too. Must say that all the things are really affordable and highly recommended for every sort of trips.
