This place is amazing! It’s definitely the best stay for our three-week round trip . I can only recommend it. We booked a Standard double room , Which was their basic category. But it was fantastic! The room was super clean , which is not always in Sri Lanka. They had everything more than we expected like air conditioning, hot water , mosquito nets , a fan , tea coffee, and even pool towels were provided in the room. Also best value for the money. Unbeatable! The Wi-Fi was great in the room and restaurant. Pool area also had a another Wi-Fi which was good. The pool was our favorite super Large,clean like the rest of the property surrounded with nature great to relax and in the pool even have kind of jacuzzi that you can get a massage in the water :) We also booked a Half day 7 Hour safari tour through them and it was fantastic . Price was also very good compared to other offers we had . We saw many elephants, birds and many other animals . Had a great time with the breakfast inside the park .The driver explained everything to us and was very experienced. He didn’t bother animals or go with too many jeeps . If you’re going on a safari definitely go with the hotel. The owner was very friendly, professional and had lots of experience in the industry. The rest of the staff also very helpful and available always with a smile . Thanks a lot for the wonderful stay ! We‘ll definitely come back . Highly recommend this place!

Everything. It is surrounded by a lush garden of palm trees, very serene, in the morning you hear the chirping of birds as the jungle wakes up, the evening is very calm and quiet. The cottages are super clean, bedsheets smelling fresh, and the room has everything you might need (toiletries, water, kettle, tea, A/C). Sandeep is very thoughtful and can take of everything, from safari tour, to rides in/out of Udawalawe, dinner recommendations). The breakfast with full view of the trees was the cherry on the cake. I would return here anytime, I travel a lot and this is definitely in my top 3 hidden gems I found during my worldwide travels.

Leel's place is the best place we have being in entire Sri Lanka. The place is well cleaned, beautiful, calm and romantic. Leel is a wonderful host, honest and decent, taking care of everything, making sure you will have the best stay. Leel's mother cook delicious food, served so well. The breakfast was made by Leel's wife and it was so good and tasty. Leel is the best Safari guide you will ever find in Udawalawe. He knows all the best spots in the park and provided us the best Safari experience we could ever ask for. I wish Leel all the best and I definitely recommend you to visit.

This place is absolutely incredible. I'd honestly live here. Anju and his family were so welcoming and helpful. They had welcome drinks on arrival and after our safari which he organised, which was lovely. Breakfast and dinner were amazing! There was so much food, I couldn't eat it all, they even lit candles for dinner. The cottages themselves are absolutely stunning. They have been done to such a gorgeous standard and so many little details like beautiful light fixtures, natural shower as well as a hot one in the bathroom, washing line, gorgeous decor, and all the wooden furniture is lovely. They are just finishing their third cabin which will sleep three, Anju gave me a tour of it and it will be lovely.

Honestly, the stay at Amba Kola was one highlight of our Sri Lanka vacation. The host is very nice, supportive and welcoming. We very enjoyed the safari trip and a boat trip he organised for us. We participated at the cooking class which was very fun. The food on general was great. The place is beautiful and has great rooms. We would definitely come again and can warmly recommend to stay at Amba Kola

Quiet location with lovely outdoor space. Room+bathroom were clean and comes with AC, mosquito net and even a fridge. Very friendly staff that give us complementary welcome drink and the owner arranged everything for us, including lunch on arrival (7USD/2200LKR), the safari (60-67 USD for 5h). He even went out of his way to drop us off in the city centre (free!).

Really nice place and staff. Nice pool. Good food. Mosquitoenet, air conditioner and fridge in the room - all working perfectly. We had a great stay and great value for the money! Perfect place to stay 2-3 days if you go in safari. You can relax by the pool (which is outdoor) on great sun beds in the afternoon.

Nice clean hotel and rooms. Location near the Udawalawe National park, but not much else nearby. Big plus for bikes you can use for free! All in all a good place to stay for a night or two to see elephants and go for a safari. We had a half board with safari. Friendly staff!

Lovely hosts, great homecooked food, beautiful gardens, really nice room and perfect location. Sachith helped us organise a great full day safari where we saw lots of animals including loads of elephants, eagles, crocodile, monkeys, jackals, bee eaters and other birds. We had a really lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Honestly, this is the best place to stay in the region by far. The place if awsome, we booked for a night and we regretted to not stay longer. The tents are designed in a great manner, very clean, very spacious and comfortable. The swimming pool is huge and you will not get out of it for sure. For dinner, we ordered the mix seafood platter, it was yummy, Tuna, prawns and calmari were so delicious. I highly recommend this resort, and for at least 3 nights.

The host is super friendly, and had organised the Safari trip for us and lovely dinner after we've came back from Safari. The room we have stayed in was nice and bright and it looks even better than in the photos. Overall great place with peaceful environment, nice food and very fair prices.

With out a doubt one of the best locations in Sri Lanka where we have stayed in the last 3 weeks! A big room, which was extremely clean. Great bed, and perfect shower! And really close to the park. The manager and his team do everything to help you out for the park visit. And the chef makes sure you don’t have to go to the town. By the way; there isn’t anything in the town anyway, so better stay at the hotel for lunch and dinner. 👍🏻
