Emplacement idéal à - de 10' du parc. Des hôtes en or, une bouteille d'eau donnée quand je suis partie à 5h45 pour mon safari (ils peuvent vous l'organiser), à midi, Ils m'ont proposé le petit déjeuner si est inclus mais que je n'avais pas pris et le bus pour aller vers Tangalle passe devant chez eux, mais sur à un blocage, la dame m'a gentiment emmenée en scooter jusqu'à la station suivant et s'est assurée que je suis bien dans le bus.

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. ##### Dennis Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexandra, Suomi 7 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The room was lovely!

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. ##### Lachlan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jane 11 Mar 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabine 20 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Liebevoll-familiäre Betreuung, Innenhof erholsam Sehr nette familiäre Betreuung, sehr aufmerksam, die Zimmer einfach, sauber, der Innenhof liebevoll gestaltet, lädt zum Relaxen ein, hier kann man sich wohlfühlen, Essen sehr gut, der Nationalparkeingang gleich ums Eck, ##### Sabine Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### BERYL 29 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Close to the park.

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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 6 Sept 2018 I had an excellent stay at Elephant Rest.

We drove in from Ella and the owners cooked a delicious fresh meal of rice and curry for us and later that night, made string hoppers for dinner. The room was very clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. In the morning, they had arranged a safari, so we went out to the park at 6am. We are hungry first thing in the morning so they graciously made breakfast for us at 5:45 so we could eat before the safari. The family is so friendly and their little boy is adorable. Highly recommend staying here if you're coming to Udawalawe! ##### Adrienne Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 21 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Small hotel close to Safari Park Owners are very nice.

Surprising hotel at this price range. definitely recommended! ##### Yuen Man ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chase 25 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### At home feeling in wonderful village Wonderful place in a small village, amazing host with a charming family. The food was very good and the proximity to the park is a plus. You can easily organize safaris and transport from here. ##### Chase ### 8/10 Good #### Christopher 25 Mar 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### great food, location and hosts but needs updating great location, amazing dinner and breakfast after safari. room was a bit basic and not the cleanest, needed updating/lick of paint but location was great for early start at the safari and the owners were really helpful and friendly 😁 ##### Christopher ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A rustic retreat Very rural nothing in local area apart from Udawalawe national park but staff very helpful and made us very welcome and happy to cater for us Sri Lankan cuisine very tasty. Rooms clean.
