Het eten

De kamer was klein

We waren aanwezig op het Singalees en Tamil Nieuwjaar en mochten meedoen met allerlei spelletjes. Wat een gezellig en vriendelijk personeel. Hartelijk ontvangst.

Het bed is langs 1 kant misschien wat meer beslapen. Wellicht hierdoor een piepend bed.

Great hotel for Udawalawe safari

Great little hotel. Rooms are clean, air conditioned, bed comfortable. Service was great, friendly and efficient. They also arranged our safari for us without any issues. We were half board and the food at dinner was very good as was breakfast. The price was very reasonable Highly recommended

The staff were very helpful. Nardun on reception understands English well and is very keen to hflp in any way possible. The pool was a welcome place after a long hot drive from Ella.

Nothing to note.

Excellent location for safari

8.0

The location of Elephant Trail makes it an ideal choice if visiting the national park. We arranged a 4 hour morning safari through the hotel prior to arrival and it was excellent- comfy seats in the jeep and an experienced driver. The hotel staff were all polite and looked after us very well. They are a credit to the hotel. The pool and dining areas are comfortable and clean but you definitely need your insect repellent, there are a lot of flies and bugs as would be expected in such a rural area. We had a triple room on the first floor with a balcony overlooking the pool area. The rooms are a little tired and there are a few things that could use a some maintenance (bathroom door lock, sink plug). The doors onto the balcony have gaps all round and did not lock but the air conditioning worked well and we didn’t have any trouble with bugs in the room. The back of the hotel overlooks a beautiful field and we arrived as the sun was setting and saw a couple of hornbills fly over and land in a nearby tree. We stayed half board and enjoyed the breakfasts and dinners very much. Dinner was a set menu with a couple of choices for main course. This is a friendly hotel in a great location and we enjoyed our stay there.

Small maintenance issues but nothing major
