Backwaters was a lovely spot on the doorstep to the western gate of Wilpattu. They organised a game drive for us (where we saw lots), a river trip and boat ride to our next destination. The rooms and grounds are full of nice, environmentally friendly touches, and the meals are great. Since the centre of the park is a little ways from this gate, a full day game drive turned out to be better than a half day - and allowed usto see lots of elephants at the end of the day.

I stayed here with my father for one night the host was incredible. As soon as we arrived we received a cup of coffee same thing in the morning. Nothing was to much for him every thing we needed he was there to help us.

Dili and Roshan and their family where treating us as their family members. We felt immediately at home at their place. We enjoyed fantastic meals prepared in their own little restaurant. Each meal was prepared with passion! The last evening we enjoyed at a festival together what was a very special moment for us to dive into Sri lankian culture. We recommend them with great pleasure and we wish them all the best for their future plans.

The Sanctuary is an outstanding place. The building itself it’s beautiful designed and decorated, fitting in well to the natural surroundings. The room and all the fittings feel high quality and a luxurious, a real treat when budget back packing. The nature that it is surrounded by is truly beautiful and peaceful. The perfect place to sit back and relax! What makes The Sanctuary so special is the staff. So welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Their knowledge of the animals and plants that you will see on walks around the premises is amazing, so well educated and genuine. The food cooked by mum is 10/10 and you will not leave hungry. They made our safari day so enjoyable and truly perfect!! I can not recommend this place enough, it’s a new venture for the team and they do it so well!! Thank you so much to everyone involved.

It is like a castle nestled between the dunes and coconut groves! Probably the best stay I have had in Sri Lanka!! Everything is super clean and the furniture, building and linens are brand new! The location is perfect to get away from it all! I practice daily yoga and meditation and it was wonderful they let me use the panoramic roof terrace to welcome the sunrise!

This accommodation is very special and we felt like we were in an oasis of calm. The pool was perfect, the house is in a beautiful garden among coconut palms. The mini house is very well equipped for European style (we very much appreciated the separate shower). We really haven't found a single mistake. Too bad we only stayed one night, it was probably the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka for a month.

We had a wonderful stay at Kurumba Lodge. The staff were very kind from the start, especially the young man who welcomed us and helps with the family business – always smiling and super friendly. We did a half-day safari organized through them. There was a bit of confusion about the guide being charged separately, but it was easily resolved on site, and the staff were very understanding. Our room was very clean, with air conditioning, and the lodge is in a very peaceful location. The meals were 1500 LKR per person/meal. The Kothu and rice we had were delicious! (we arrived there by taxi driver) Many thanks to the team for making our stay so pleasant.

Sunsantha was a great host. The breakfast is nice and the organize kite trips which were very fun! Nice Kite Community! In terms of kite surfing gear they have good kites in my opinion but the boards are very old and not of good quality…

Susil was a great host for us. He took time to talk with us and tell us about the surrounding area and some of the history of Sri Lanka. Made us beautifully cooked homemade meals with traditional ingredients. Very kind man that made our stay an extremely positive one. Hostel is in the most perfect location literally metres from the entrance of the national park.

The Hotel is located directly at the entrance to Wilpattu National Park (only few kilometers). Dylan was a really lovely host. He arranged a Safari for us within 24h before arrival with the best driver we could imagine (spotted all the animals living in Wilpattu). Also we had two very good diners at his place. The room was clean and the garden is beautiful and very well-kept.

Beautifully designed homestay with a great communal restaurant area - it was a great place to discover at the end of this year's Sri Lanka trip. It came as little surprise to discover that the owner is an architect. It really stands out amongst the eye-watering prices of the other local places to stay. We're definitely going back next year!
