Mailagama Cinnamon Residence

"Vackert hotell utanför den besegrade spåret.Om 20-minuters bilresa från Kataragama och en timme till ingången till Yala National Park.Rummen var rena och tidiga.Hade en smakfull china te vid ankomsten och en tur av kryddgården vid den fantastiska Inbaraj. Han var väldigt bekant med alla växter och chinaplantering.Maten var också läckra.De arrangerade en fantastisk safari och gav en läckra frukost och lunch att ta med oss, att ha i jeppen."

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

"Om du letar efter en toppklass safariupplevelse.Det är Big Game Camp.Solomon, den senior naturist, är en underbar guide.Så välkänd om parken, fågellivet och alla andra djur. Tältena är mycket bekväma, var och en med sin egen dusch och toalett.Laget på lägret ser verkligen efter dig, och mat är utmärkt."

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 gick till Dev s lägerplats i oktober 2023 med min familj, detta var en mycket unik campingupplevelse för oss alla.Maten var utmärkt och vi hade trevligt campingbränsle med alla nödvändiga säkerhetsåtgärder. Personalen var mycket hjälpsam och vänlig, vi kommer inte heller att träffa ägaren Hasitha Perera, som har mycket bra kunskap om alla campingplatser i landet.Jag har ingen tvekan rekommenderar anläggningen någon"

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!"

Funky Leopard Safari Lodge Bordering Yala National Park

"The lodge is a long bumpy ride on a dirt road off the main road to the nature reserve. The room was clean, but more like a dorm or camp room room than a lodge room. We were planning an early morning safari jeep ride, so were looking for a location near the park entrance. The distance from the main road doubled the time getting to the park. There were other accommodations on the main road. We would deffinitely not stay here again."

Gal Oya Heritage Retreat

"Beautifully designed, but overpriced at the moment. The remote location meant we had to eat all our meals at the hotel, so we took full board. The food portions were small, lacked variety, and we waited for the food 30+ min every meal, even made us late to activities. No drinks or desserts were even offered during meals, just cold syrup- juice after activities. We took the boat, after they recommended us and offered to arrange. The PDF they sent made it look like you pay for the amount of people for 4-5 hours - 2pp: $80, 6p: $40. We took the 2 pp and paid $80, thinking it’s a private boat. Unfortunately, we were joined 4 other people and for only 2 hours for the same $80. The saving grace was the amazing tour guide, Anuradha, who was incredibly knowledgeable about Gal Oya and the surrounding nature! This place can be great but I think they need to set accurate expectations."
