Great hospitality and such a unique setting. Food was amazing, we were not expecting that. The staff booked our safari and packed breakfast and lunch for us. What more could you ask for.

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.

Oh my without this place i dont think i could have done a safari. They helped me with EVERYTHING. From explaining how i could get there and sending a tuktuk to pick me up from the busstop to packing a delicious breakfast AND helping me find someone to do it with so it was possible in my budget. I appreciate this so much. The pillows were honestly the best i ever slept on it felt like sleeping in the clouds. The room was so nice and cool and honestly i almost wanted to snooze my alarm for '5 more minutes' before remembering i booked a morning safari :) Everyone was so nice im so glad i choose this place, they really worked with me to make this a great experience and it certainly was!

Excellent location, few steps from the gate of the National Park! Room was very comfortable and very clean. Bed was super comfortable too and mosquito net provided. Air con was a welcome relief from the heat. Bathroom was also spacious and clean, hot water was great. The owner was the sweetest man, his nephew messaged to ask if I wanted dinner, I declined, but the owner knocked on my door to give me fruit and ice cream so I wouldn’t go hungry at night. So sweet! His nephew also provided me with a welcome drink and even took me on the safari. Highly recommend doing the safari with them, they were the most affordable and they really considered what animals I wanted to see and tried their best to find them. The breakfast, lunch and snacks were so good! I was very well fed! They were very accommodating to me and really put in effort to help me when my card had issues. I will definitely stay with them again.

The location is incredible right next to the river and the territory is very clean. We slept on a tree house and it was really cosy with nature sounds. We stayed two nights and did a full day safari that was organized by a host. In the early morning we took a walk around the village and enjoyed local hospitality. Definitely recommend this hidden gem!

Just about 100 meters from the entrance to Wilpattu wildlife national park. The owner is and experienced tour guide and happily will tell you about the wildlife to be found, both in and out of the park. Just by the entrance to the park is a trail going around a beautiful lake where families come for a bath and swim. We were warned not to not to walk around outside after dark to avoid unpleasant encounters with wild animals. I would defintely go back there to stay if I am in the area.

Green Sapphire is in a great location on the access road to Wilpattu. There are lots of little shops selling snacks and things along that road too. It is not isolated. It is easy to find, on a good, sealed road. The place is kept immaculately clean. Dylan (the main host) is very responsive and helpful and will sort out whatever you need. He also provided plenty of food as well as binoculars, a tripod and a lens for mobile phone cameras Aircon was good and needed

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.

Great location when visiting Wilpattu NP for safari. Owners where super friendly! Food, both breakfast and dinner, where home cooked and diverse. Bed was comfy, musquito net and ac in the room. The guesthouse is close to the Wilpattu entrance and easy to reach by road. Don't be surprised to see an elephant walking past the guesthouse. There is a lake near the place where you can walk and watch some wildlife as well. Owner has his own jeep and can arrange safaris for a fair price.
