"Jag stannade en natt i denna trevliga avlägsna plats med min familj.Trädhusen är bekväma med alla moderna faciliteter..."

Mahoora - Udawalawe by Eco Team

"Detta var en riktigt vacker vistelse i ett glamsigt tält som skulle rekommenderas mycket.Personalen tittade mycket väl efter oss.Sällsynt var Salomon en exceptionell guide.Vi hade också en fantastisk middag under stjärnorna. Men några saker att nämna: Safari är en 40-minuters bilresa eftersom boendet är långt från parkeringsporten.Inte ett problem, men det är värt att notera. Vatten fungerade inte för en kort tid, men det fixades snabbt.Vänta inte på en 5-stjärnig lyxboende, men jag var verkligen imponerad av tält. Vi var de enda som stannade där, vilket betydde att det saknades lite atmosfär."

Big Game - Udawalawe by Eco Team

"Vi var en familj av fyra och hade två tält.Så söt och med ett riktigt badrum och möbler.Vi hade en 4-course middag under stjärnorna, gjorde en nattgång med Salomon!Nästa morgon gick vi på den fulla dagen safari med Salomon och Mahesh. Bra företag, massiv kunskap om alla djur och pekade på fåglar, elefanter och krokodiller och mycket mer!Gjorde en lång hemmalunt i parken, såg så många elefanter på eftermiddagen! Vi gick på tre safari i Sri Lanka, och det var den bästa."

Makulu Safari Camping

Wild Glamping Gal Oya - Thema Collection

"Wild Glamping Gal Oya was our second Thema Group property (after Knuckles Wild Glamping), near the Gal Oya National Park which is centred around the 70 year old Senanayake reservoir. The resort features 5 family tents and 15 doubles, each under thatch or timber roof with heated showers and flush WC. The family tents have two rooms, and should sleep 4 comfortably. Alarm clocks are not needed as the local peacocks do an admirable job! There is mains power but no WiFi, and only intermittent mobile coverage so just lock away your phone and reconnect with life. The property has a generous pool with sunbeds, pool towels and sunshades, surrounded by lawn and next to the central bar and restaurant area and the reception. On arrival guests are allocated a host who looks after them, ours was Pathun, a trainee naturalist. He conducted our farm walk to introduce the concept - the property is part of a working farm, with both the local community and the indigenous Vedda people actively involved. We had family villa 15, which we think has the best position - set back (with 14) from the central facilities, with views over paddy fields and sunsets over Monkey Mountain. We undertook 4 activities - a boat safari, a jungle walk with the Vedda, a boat trip on the local village reservoir and a trek up Monkey Mountain, all of which Pathun accompanied us on. All were worthwhile, it's worth noting that the Monkey Mountainm trek is quite demanding and requires a certain level of fitness, but the views are stunning. The staff were all welcoming and friendly, and we must make special mention of Pravithra, who seemed to be everywhere from the bar, restaurant to the spa (great ayurvedic massage!), and the kitchen team who produced a wonderful range of dishes. WGG is a wonderful resort for a 3-4 day escape, with or without family."

Dev's Campground

"Vi har besökt Dev s läger den 1 november för vår bröllopsmånad.Det var ett underbart äventyr för oss.Mr Hasith från Dev s läger hjälper oss mycket och visade så få dolda kulturplatser också.Vi önskar Dev s läger framgång. "

The Den at Yala

"It was raining, so there were a lot of bugs at night. The host couple and the staff were very attentive and disinfected the room in advance. We arrived in the evening and had dinner on the spur of the moment. They even set up tables and chairs in the room. The breakfast was very rich, and there was a swing that the children loved. There were four defensive puppies who would guard downstairs and would not hurt anyone. It was safe and friendly."

Hantara Udawalawa

"Hantara Udawalawe är ett fantastiskt boutiquehotell med en miljövänlig vibration, med hållbara metoder och lokala material.Personalen var varm och uppmärksam, vilket gör vår familj av 13-åriga välkomna. Maten var läckra, särskilt de traditionella srilankanska maträtterna.Perfekt för stora grupper med dess smarta utformning.Högt rekommenderar en avslappnande, grön stavning!"

Wild Escape

"A basic stay in the middle of nowhere. We stayed here a night, on the way to Udawalwe. The stay is only found if you enter the address in Google Maps, there are no signs with indications on the road. It was very quiet and green, with a river behind the landscape, the stay was quite clean, but there was a strange air in the room, the clams were a little smooth. The staff is very friendly and helpful, despite the language barrier, and despite a miscommunication, we were cooked last minute for the evening."

Funky Leopard Safari Lodge Bordering Yala National Park

"The location seemed good… at first… But we had a series of problems on our first night. We had booked two nights. The conditions were such that we left… and they refused to refund us for the second night. The evening meal, prepared outside the hotel, raised some doubts… and indeed, during the night, my wife and I became ill. The children didn't eat anything. Tiny bugs were falling on our table and in our hair. No fan… it was a bad start. There was no air conditioning as advertised on TripAdvisor. Only fans. One of them was broken in our room. They gave us a pedestal fan… which wouldn't stay upright and was just blowing air onto the floor… it was 45°C in the room. We had planned a day of rest and swimming the next day… impossible, the pool was green… We left, and according to our “friendly” contact, they would find a solution to refund us for the second night… which was later refused, and the payment was taken entirely on the card. Perhaps the worst hotel experience ever :( By far the worst in Sri Lanka…"
