Large pool and beautiful jungle setting. Good pool side areas with lots of shade. Food at dinner was very tasty and good value. The management agreed to room upgrade after the room we were given was not good. ( check whether your room has a balcony as the rooms in the 'block' do and those in the main building do not ) Playing pool before dinner Great AC in the rooms Good value safari driver arranged by the staff in the hotel ( tip. we paid the driver $40 for the driver, and bought tickets on arrival at the Udawalawe park entrance. you can pick up a local volunteer guide in the car park as you buy your tickets who can talk through the animals and park detail. we then tipped the guide around $10. The total for the 3 hour safari worked about $40 per person)

    Udawalawe is an ELephant Safari park primarily and one would expect to see many elephants however pls inquire from your hotel prior booking because during the hot season you will not see elephants freely roaming around. also if there are too many vehicles entering it becomes too crowded. If the days are hot and humid suggest not going in the morning you wont see animals

    The restaurant has a great offer and good prices & the staff is so friendly and helpful! Of course we did a safari that was arranged by the hotel. Our drivers name is ravind and he did such a wonderful job, I would always recommend him. He was friendly, helpful and translated the animals name in his language. He did his best so we could spot a lot of different animals and of course a ton of elephants! We really enjoyed the time with him.

    Perfect stay! The location is quiet & the rooms are incredible. Very clean and comfortable: shower that works perfectly, comfortable bed, air conditioning. I went on safari with the host and the value for money is unbeatable: 5h safari, all included (breakfast, entrance, etc.). It really met my expectations! I can only recommend staying at wild park safari home stay .

    It was one of the best properties we stayed in Sri Lanka. We had very nice breakfast and buffet dinner, so it was both convenient and yummy to dine in the hotel rather than search something around. The host also organized great safari for us ( actually the reason we book this place and came here). The jeep driver had a good knowledge of the safari park and took us off the beaten road, therefore we were not riding together with other groups and had the park for ourselves only. We got luck with enormous to see the whole elephant family ☺️

    Owners are a lovely and friendly couple. They try their best to make you feel comfortable. The room is cozy and clean with a nice garden. Breakfast is amazing Sri Lanka style with a lot of fruit. They allow me to have my breakfast after the safari tour. Location is great coz it’s close to the Safari. I booked the morning safari tour through the owner which is fantastic. The driver made all-out effort to find the animals, the guide provided lots of information about the National Park and the animals.

    Eagle Safari, is great for an overnight stay so you can take a safari at Udawalawe National Park. Hotel staff were able to organise the safarai and make suggestions on the best time to do it . The property is in a quiet secluded location, with the cabins overlooking a reserve. Included breakfast was good quality and you are able to request lunch and dinner as well,Take any snacks, supplies and money with you if you need them whilst there. Overall, a pleasant relaxing stay and nice friendly staff :)

    I have stayed at this hotel before. I selected this hotel again for a short visit to Udawalawe with my Husband. As usual we enjoyed our stay at this lovely location. Spacious, clean room, open air bathroom, friendly staff and tasty food .. everything was as excellent as in our previous stays. We made this booking suddenly and on the day of our stay. But the staff quickly arranged a delicious dinner for us on very short notice. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this place.

    The safari was very good and we saw many animals. We thank the safari driver for doing his best for us during our safari. The driver gave detailed information about all the animals. I appreciate the owner of the apartment very much. He gave us a very good discount. We even checked the prices online.. We also went to Yale National Park and we highly recommend the Udawalawe Perk compared to that. Thanks for the driver number. We are both animal explorers.

    Perfect location, only 2 minutes drive from the national park entrance. Modern and clean rooms and relaxed patio with nice swimming pool. Superb stuff always ready to help you with a smile on their face. You get the feeling that nothing is a problem here. Safari tours and other transportation offers for reasonable prices. Highly recommended. Generally speaking, this resort is way beyond usual Sri Lanka standard. Looks like a 4* european hotel.

    It’s in a peaceful neighborhood away from commercial hotels industry. You would feel connected with nature and people in the community where most people are friendly while minding their own lives. Host family will make your stay memorable with their efforts in making their guests feel welcome and comfortable. Certainly I would recommend this place to friends and will visit again when I return to Udawalawe.

    We stayed in the Baby Elephant Green House for one night before our safari in Udawalawe National Park. We loved the place. The owners are so nice and welcoming, they prepared a delicious Sri Lankan dinner and in the early morning a ‘take-out’ breakfast for our safari. They organised a perfect safari tour for us. The room was very comfortable, spacious and clean.
