We ate dinner elsewhere but did appreciate the packed breakfast the hotel gave us for our morning safari. The room was fine and had everything you needed, although our room was directly opposite the dining room so curtains had to be shut the whole time. There was quite a few bad smells, damp smell in the room, sewage smell outside etc, but it didn’t ruin our stay. ##### Kate Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanine 3 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Thanks for the hospitality! The property is lush and beautiful. The pool is gorgeous and meticulously maintained. The food isn’t the best. Part of traveling is experiencing local cuisine and they are clearly trying to take care of western tourists. Totally fine - you can feel they to this to accommodate us. They are very clearly so service oriented! ##### Jeanine Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rekha 27 Jul 2024 Ok ##### Rekha Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wenja Louisa 18 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice and clean hotel.

The hotel is beautiful and the staff is very nice. The pool area is also a plus. Great restaurant down the street called Chef Lady. One of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka. Only downside is that the wifi did not work well and the bar was as closed the entire time during our stay. Otherwise, a great stay! ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 6 Jan 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Safarihotel Sehr bemühtes und freundliches Personal!
