Very kind and helpful hosts, who loaned their umbrellas to us and accommodated our last minute change of breakfast time when we were running late from a morning hike. They also packed our breakfast to go when we checked out early on our last day. Walking along the train tracks is by far the best way to get to town and back in under 10 minutes. The paved road is quite windy and steep, so even the tuk-tuks struggle on it. It's a rustic place in the middle of nature, so don't be surprised by a few ants or a cricket. The toilet tank also wasn't refilling well on our last night. Just small issues. ##### GENET ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Camellia Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatton-Hotels-Camellia-Hills.h48393070.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodnest- Summerside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Summer-Side-Residence.h12498541.Hotel-Information) > > [Camp Leopard - Yala Safari Glamping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kataragama-Hotels-Camp-Leopard-Yala-Safari-Glamping.h12257276.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Pasikuda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Sunrise-By-Jetwing.h14814270.Hotel-Information) > > [Uga Bay - Pasikuda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Uga-Bay-By-Uga-Escapes.h7760824.Hotel-Information) > > [Elephant Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevanagala-Hotels-Elephant-Lodge.h39669042.Hotel-Information) > > [Kethaka Aga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Kethaka-Aga.h22876073.Hotel-Information) > > [Uppuveli Beach by DSK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trincomalee-Hotels-Uppuveli-Beach-By-DSK.h107128771.Hotel-Information) > > [Guitar Bay Arugambay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-GUITAR-BAY-ARUGAMBAY.h39017185.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villa Bentota by KK Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-The-Villa-Bentota-By-KK-Collection.h76160201.Hotel-Information) > > [Oreeka - Katunayake Airport Transit Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Oreeka-Hotel-Complimentary-Airport-Transfer.h14687310.Hotel-Information) > > [Amanda Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valachchenai-Hotels-Amanda-Beach-Resort.h38257273.Hotel-Information) > > [Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Maalu-Maalu-Resort-Spa.h6504916.Hotel-Information) > > [Roo Mansala Boutique Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Roo-Mansala-Boutique-Villas.h23204786.Hotel-Information) > > [Leopard Safaris Yala ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kataragama-Hotels-Leopard-Safaris-By-KK-Collection.h50636592.Hotel-Information) > > [Kottawatta Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udawalawa-Hotels-Kottawatta-Village.h12283592.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-OZO-Kandy-Sri-Lanka.h10442617.Hotel-Information) > > [North Gate Jaffna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaffna-Hotels-North-Gate-By-Jetwing.h22276412.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [Taru Villas The Long House - Bentota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Taru-Villas-The-Long-House.h27202420.Hotel-Information) > > [Waraka - Udawalawe ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udawalawa-Hotels-Waraka-Udawalawe.h107742896.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayurvie Weligama - Ayurvedic Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Ayurvie-Retreat-Weligama.h35173513.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandara Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Mandara-Resort.h7685897.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Bentota Ceysands Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-NH-Bentota-Ceysands-Resort.h8146053.Hotel-Information) > > [Jie Jie Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panadura-Hotels-Jie-Jie-Beach-By-Jetwing.h15440520.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > > [Xavier's Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwara-Eliya-Hotels-The-Cottage-By-Jetwing.h12483826.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villas Wadduwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-The-Villas-Wadduwa.h21399796.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) ---
