Scam beware . Option for room only is untrue he will make you pay for the safari or cancel your room This was a scam. We booked the room only option and once we arrived the manager told us if we didn’t book the safari too through him he would cancel our rooms and we’d have to find alternative accommodation. At half 9 at night, two girls being told they would be kicked out if they didn’t comply was very threatening and made us feel very uncomfortable. (Also no towel in one room, no sheet in the other and no WiFi but the forced safari kinda trumped those little things)

The hotel is good, the food is good, the location is good, but they change the bill and increase the

I made the booking through booking.com, and the hotel didn't show me the full amount on the bill, it was the price. They made a separate bill and charged me a different amount.

Easily the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka, awesome little houses, nice pool, even the fish massage pool was fun addition. The rooms are spacious and the outdoor bathroom is so lovely and cozy. The breakfast buffet is delicious as is the rest of the food, big portions for great prices. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, after arrival we got chilled towel and a juice. Loved it!

Great place to stay for national park

This was a perfect place for us to stay to visit Udalawawe national park. We stayed for 2 nights to do morning safari and then relax by the pool in the evening. The resort is lovely with 2 pools, a restaurant and a fish massage pool which was hilarious to try. Our room was really spacious and had a/c and a fridge which was needed after a hot day. Lovely big outdoor bathroom! Lots of visits from the chipmunks which were cute to watch. The restaurant was really reasonably priced and big portions of Sri Lankan rice and curry. Also a short distance into town if you want to explore further. Good bar called the Chill Inn for great views of the mountains at sunset.

A Unique Stay

Kottawata Village is a truly unique place to stay. Sleeping amongst the coconut trees and watching monkeys play overhead while you swim is the kind of experience you simply don’t forget. The staff were great, attentive and made us feel genuinely welcome, the food was delicious with a good selection of local options

Amazing ☺️

We had by far our most luxurious stay here during the four weeks we were fortunate enough to spend on this incredible island. The hotel complex fully meets European standards. Everything is impeccably clean, the service is exceptionally attentive, and the English is excellent. The pools are perfect for relaxing, and the entire property is beautifully designed and very well maintained.

Very comfortable bed and great Safari, a bit unlucky with the animal sightings that day but we had an amazing driver who went above and beyond to try to give us the best experience and make the most of it! Welcome and goodbye drinks at the reception.
