We stayed at this property for one night; the room was clean and equipped with air conditioning. Lunch and dinner were exquisite! Nilang, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and kind. He provided us with plenty of information and suggestions for our trip to Sri Lanka! We highly recommend this hotel and, above all, this wonderful person.

The location is fantastic. The hotel is situated right along the route where the elephants walk to the river, so you can watch them directly from your balcony. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the air conditioning worked well. I also appreciated the flexible check-in time, as I arrived earlier than expected and the staff did their best to accommodate me.

The bed sheets were not as clean as expected, and overall cleaning could be improved.

Exceptional Stay - Highly Recommended for Families!

10.0

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Elepath Lodge and cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone visiting the area. Hospitality & Staff The standout feature of this property is the staff. They are highly professional, genuinely warm, and kind-hearted people. Shehan and his team are doing a fantastic job. They are always happy to go the extra mile to ensure you have a great stay. Upon our arrival, Shehan even kindly upgraded our booking from a Deluxe BB room to a Superior Room with a balcony! Unmatched Location & Experience The property itself is incredibly unique. From the window of our Superior Room, we could watch elephants walking down to the river and back—literally just inches away from our private balcony! Additionally, a short walk down the path leads you to a spot where you can watch the elephants bathing during the day. It was a magical experience. Cleanliness, Comfort & Value The lodge is exceptionally clean and comfortable. Compared to other properties in the area, you get incredible value for what you pay. Family-Friendly Amenities As a family traveling with a 19-month-old who happens to be a huge elephant fan, this place was perfect. The staff went above and beyond by happily preparing custom baby food for our little one during our stay. It is an ideal destination for families. Delicious Dining Our breakfast was included, and we ordered dinner a la carte. For dinner, we had the mixed chicken rice, which was delicious and the portion size was more than enough for two. For breakfast, we chose the Sri Lankan option; the string hoppers and curries were excellent, and the coconut sambol was absolutely heavenly. We will definitely be back the next time we are driving through the area. We recommend Elepath Lodge without any hesitation!

Nothing makes us unhappy. The rooms come equipped with an electric kettle, but it would be a wonderful touch if they provided two cups as well. Since there are grocery shops just a few hundred meters away where you can buy tea and coffee packets, having cups in the room would make it so easy for guests to brew a warm drink and enjoy it on the balcony while watching the elephants walk by
