Kalu's Hideaway Udawalawe

10/10 Excellent

"A peaceful nature retreat with incredible fresh food. Our stay at Kalu’s Hideaway was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We loved the wholesome farm-to-table dining—tasting fresh red dragon fruit straight from the garden, sweet pineapples, mangos, and delicious Sri Lankan vegetables. The property itself is surrounded by nature. The butterfly garden was an unexpected treat, and waking up to the tranquil morning sounds of birds overlooking the Udawalawe reserve canopy was magical. You can even spot local wildlife right on the grounds, from vibrant water lilies in the ponds to land monitor lizards wandering past. It was such a serene and relaxing escape!"

Elephant Trail

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Extremely helpful staff. Facilities were surprisingly good. Handy location to elephant transit and national park. Nice pool. Highly recommend."

The Countryside Udawalawe

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were big & clean and the pool is really nice. The staff were very helpful and organised our safari for the next day at check in. Breakfast and dinner were delicious!"

Grand Udawalawe Safari Resort

8/10 Good

"great pool close enough to national park but hotel is a little tired"

Centauria Wild

10/10 Excellent

"nice staff, amazing breakfast, and lake view are one of the best, especially during the sunset"

Vimanra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room.Lovely pool. The hotel is out of the way near the river. We loved the tranquil setting. Apart from our safari trip (which was arranged by the owner) we didn’t leave the hotel, which suited us because the food provided at the hotel is delicious. The only negative thing I would say is they could do with upgrading the recliners by the pool. "
