We were often the only ones around. We loved that he was able to share facts and all types of details about what we saw. Excellent english as well. Tiron also helped arrange our onward travel transfers. He was such a helpful and thoughtful host, thank you so much for your kindness!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3BB86EFBD6E1D21EFBF342C797DD174ACE9DBCD71703675969561.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A7F90C480C00C73E193B9C335EF35364DAAF222F1703675967844.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F1675C4821AEEA551F8747487A4200D0E638C2591703675966818.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Etienne Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tegan 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka! Lovely family run accommodation in a quiet area. The family were so welcoming and it was such a pleasure getting to know them. The room was very spacious , clean , nicely decorated and very comfortable. We had dinner and had big portions of delicious , authentic , home cooked food. We also had a lovely traditional Sri Lankan breakfast there. They arranged our morning safari which was so memorable and we had a fantastic guide. We were even given water and iced coffee for the journey! It is excellent value for money and I would recommend this guest house to anyone. ##### Tegan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dariusz 25 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay Fantastic room, very friendly and helpful staff, fabulous views from the balcony.

They set us up with a great safari guide, and cooked up some delicious traditional Sri Lankan food. This stay is a great value for your money and I would highly recommend if you’re planning on visiting Uduwalawa. ##### Christian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce 20 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice property Nice property. Quiet leafy location not far from town. Friendly owner and family. Clean sheets/linen and comfortable bed. Quiet a/c and adequate wifi. Excellent breakfast. Only thing lacking was desk/chair and TV in room. I would stay again - good value and convenient to Udawalawa National Park Safari jeeps. ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick 18 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 5 star customer service by this hotel. Tiron informed us before we arrived that there was an issue with the room, so he took the liberty to book us an alternative hotel that turned out to be just as nice as his! Communication was easy with him via WhatsApp, allowing us to easily book a safari the very next morning with a very well spoken and knowledgeable driver/guide. 10/10 would stay again. ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SYDNEY 30 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Stay! Wonderful stay! Rooms are very clean and spacious. There is AC and a fan in the room. We chose to eat dinner at the hotel because there were not many options in the nearby town. The food was amazing and it was a nice experience to have a local home cooked meal. Breakfast was also fantastic. Excellent value for money. We just stayed 1 night and did a sunrise safari in the morning. The hotel also arranged a taxi for us down to Mirissa after our safari tour. 10/10 and would definitely stay again. ##### SYDNEY Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Marko 14 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort There was a mixup with our reservation. Owner had organized us to stay in his brothers place, which was good. Even though our relocation he took care of us; organized safari with good driver/guide, gave us several lifts to the village center, as well as restaurant recommendations. He also got us comfotable car to get into Unawatuna. Even though I can't say anything about rooms or food in this hotel, I would book again just because of service was great and everything was taken care of regarding this mixup before we arrived. ##### Marko Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyndsay 31 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Incredible hospitality We were welcomed by the owner as if we were family and our stay here had that exact same vibe throughout. We were cooked the most amazing traditional Sri Lankan dinner before retiring to our room for the night. The room had its own balcony, basic bathroom and two huge beds. There was air con or fans and tea & coffee making facilities. It was basic but just what we needed for a one night stay. We had an early start and the hired organised our half day Safari at Udawalawe national park which was the most incredible experience. After that we called in at the elephant orphanage before heading back to the safari house for a monster of a breakfast. We would highly recommend this hotel as a base for the Udawalawe national park. The hosts were incredible and nothing was too much trouble. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/888DE55E11332467003C6DAFC2822DB092A117631675153648312.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0BBA8A796E23D2DCD85386DA8356BCAEBDA6D9991675153648322.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A8B80FA084B28DDE3429361E0CA94E7B701844E21675153646295.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42B75E271898EE283855F23EB97FDA3A120FE1B81675153648185.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lyndsay Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corinna 24 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Mansala Safari House is just perfect. The rooms are beautiful, really good quality and spotlessly clean. Each room has a private veranda and it is so lovely to sit there on an evening listening the relaxing music, surrounded by palm trees and the sounds of nature. The owner Tiron and his family have got it exactly right, they are very welcoming whilst still giving you privacy. Tirons wife is a fantastic cook and they can arrange breakfast and dinner for you if you ask. Tiron is also able to arrange anything you need such as transport and of course safaris. Tiron uses 2 experienced safari guides, I had 3 private safaris with Nadeera and he was excellent, very quiet and respectful of the animals whilst delivering an outstanding experience for you. I could not believe the amount of elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and other endemic animals, as well as so many beautiful coloured birds. It is very reasonably priced too. Tiron sees you off at 0545 or 1400 supplying binoculars and water and is waiting for you on your return to make sure you have had an amazing experience. I cannot fault Mansala Safari House at all. I am travelling Sri Lanka alone and have felt very safe and happy here. It is the nicest place I have stayed in Sri Lanka and I do not want to leave! If you are staying anywhere in Sri Lanka THIS is the place. ##### Corinna Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manomi 26 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Incredibly nice room, super-friendly hosts, delicious food. ##### Manomi Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bentota-Beach.h36466861.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritance Ahungalla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahungalla-Hotels-Heritance-Ahungalla.h1526822.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Magpie Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalawana-Hotels-Blue-Magpie-Lodge.h35405819.Hotel-Information) > > [Ladja Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambalanthota-Hotels-Ladja-Beach-Resort.h42476991.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > > [The HideoutElla Wood Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-The-HideoutElla-Wood-Cabins.h41819308.Hotel-Information) > > [Kethaka Aga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Kethaka-Aga.h22876073.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Heaven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-Mountain-Heaven.h11741687.Hotel-Information) > > [Camellia Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatton-Hotels-Camellia-Hills.h48393070.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villa Bentota by KK Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-The-Villa-Bentota-By-KK-Collection.h76160201.Hotel-Information) > > [Jie Jie Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panadura-Hotels-Jie-Jie-Beach-By-Jetwing.h15440520.Hotel-Information) > > [MOI Ella by DBI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/MOI-Ella-By-DBI.h83271446.Hotel-Information) > > [Taru Villas The Long House - Bentota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Taru-Villas-The-Long-House.h27202420.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villas Wadduwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-The-Villas-Wadduwa.h21399796.Hotel-Information) > > [Leopard Safaris Yala ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kataragama-Hotels-Leopard-Safaris-By-KK-Collection.h50636592.Hotel-Information) > > [Uppuveli Beach by DSK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trincomalee-Hotels-Uppuveli-Beach-By-DSK.h107128771.Hotel-Information) > > [Yala Wilderness Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tissamaharama-Hotels-Yala-Wilderness-Safari-Camp.h35832683.Hotel-Information) > > [North Gate Jaffna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaffna-Hotels-North-Gate-By-Jetwing.h22276412.Hotel-Information) > > [Neem Tree House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirinda-Hotels-Neem-Tree-House.h24402503.Hotel-Information) > > [Clio Ella Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Jungle-Resort.h8308381.Hotel-Information) > > [Xavier's Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwara-Eliya-Hotels-The-Cottage-By-Jetwing.h12483826.Hotel-Information) > > [Roo Mansala Boutique Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Roo-Mansala-Boutique-Villas.h23204786.Hotel-Information) > > [Tamarind Tree Garden resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-The-Tamarind-Tree-Hotel.h56929895.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-OZO-Kandy-Sri-Lanka.h10442617.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Ocean View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-Villa-Ocean-View.h2226833.Hotel-Information) > > [Nyne Hotels The Muse - Bentota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Taru-Villas-The-Muse.h20014045.Hotel-Information) > > [Oreeka - Katunayake Airport Transit Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Oreeka-Hotel-Complimentary-Airport-Transfer.h14687310.Hotel-Information) > > [Uga Bay - Pasikuda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Uga-Bay-By-Uga-Escapes.h7760824.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) ---
