2/10 Mediocre

Rat infested room
Location: The hotel is located 15 minutes away from Udawalawe National Park. Be aware that the access road is unpaved, which can be challenging during bad weather. The small property has only 6 rooms. A significant drawback is the nearby club that plays loud music at night, making it difficult to enjoy the natural surroundings.
Room: Basic accommodation with two twin beds, an old cupboard, table, and an open-air bathroom. Major issues include:
A rat infestation - we had one actively running around our room and roof all night, making sleep impossible
Frequent power outages during the day
No air conditioning or Wi-Fi during blackouts, making the room uncomfortably hot in muggy weather
Safari: The hotel arranges safaris for 8500 LKR (3 hours). Unfortunately, our experience was ruined by an aggressive driver who constantly pressured us for tips from pickup through the entire tour.
Service: The hotel is severely understaffed with just one person handling all roles (manager, server, and housekeeper). This means you'll often have to search the property to find help, as there's rarely anyone at the front desk.
Dining: While the food is tasty, portion sizes are inconsistent. During our stay, portions varied significantly from meal to meal. Some drinks, advertised as fresh juice, were clearly not fresh.
Recommendation: Consider alternative accommodations if you value:
Peaceful nights
Reliable electricity
Professional service
Consistent meal portions
Pest-free rooms
