“You will enjoy Wildescape.”
Great staff, very friendly, very helpful. Great tips. The best food I had till now in Sri Lanka. You will be staying in the middle of nature. You can rent a bicycle to go to The Ancient City. I also booked the Elefants Eco Safari. Make sure you book it with them. Best price and you will get the best driver and tourgids. After my trips I had a nice and quiet swim in the pool.

“The best value stay you could ask for, the service is exceptional, the location is perfectly in peaceful nature and the”
The host and staff were incredible. It is run like a high-end hotel (so many small examples of attention to detail) which is exceptional as it is great value for money. The host helped us arrange bikes and made special efforts as we are recently engaged. I wouldn’t expect much as it was such good value however there were flowers beautifully set out on the bed. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was also Sri Lankan New Year and there were additional snacks and treats complementary for our stay. The rooms were lovely and clean, the pool was great, food was delicious and the location is set in peaceful nature. We were so impressed!

“Luxurious feel in the jungle”
Beautiful hotel with excellent service. The staff is welcoming, friendly, attentive, courteous, speaks excellent English. The room is very clean, bed is comfortable, kettle, hairdryer, shampoo and shower gel are provided. Very clean beautiful pool with a few sun loungers. Pool towels are provided. Located in a lush jungle, there are even a fish pond and frog pond where the lovely staff allowed us to feed fruit to the fish! The breakfast was amazing - buffet when there are many guests and a la carte if less guests. There are both western and Sri Lankan options. Many vegetarian options. Everything is delicious and clean. The dinner is also fairly priced, with generous portions and fabulous tastes. Cocktails were just 1200 LKR!

It has a swimming pool in the wild. I was upgraded to the family room with a huge balcony overlooking the forest with bird songs filling the air. The rooms were large and super clean. But the best thing they have is the manager Kumara. A man with a big heart. Very helpful. Very friendly. He is the reason I would come back to this place.

“Excellent value, lovely pool, kind and attentive hotel staff, truly fantastic breakfast and dinner.”
The hotel staff were very accommodating, providing a fabulous dinner on the first night even though we arrived very late. The rooms were wonderfully clean and comfortable, with chairs outside so you can sit with a beer and watch the monkeys playing. We would definitely stay again!

“In the midst of nature”
A lovely hotel with nature all around, right next door to the ancient ruins (although you need to go quite a distance to the ticket office) our room was large enough with2 beds and a/c. All the star are very friendly especially Adelaide who couldn’t do enough. We loved staying at this hotel and would certainly love to return.
