This property was beautiful and well maintained. The host was very friendly and helpful. In fact , he arranged for a taxi for us when our pre-booked taxi could not pick us up.

“Great”

Nic room and pool, although the water wasn’t 100% clear. Good breakfast, father was up at 06.00 to give us a few bananas before we went for the safari and we had a late breakfast after the safari.

This accommodation was extremely clean and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. The pool was clean and very relaxing in the afternoon after the morning safari. The location is walking distance to restaurants.

“Best place in Udawalawe”

It is a wonderful place! Love the pool, the rooms are spotless clean and comfortable, hosts are very helpful and the place is calm but close to the crossroad with shops, restaurants and the Elephant Transit Home. Good wifi, hot shower and they book for us a private jeep to visit the National Park with a perfect driver/guide. Highly recommended!

We had a really great stay at this homestay. The host is very friendly and offers a lot of services. You can also book Safari with him. The location is great, cause it’s close to the restaurants but still not too close to the main road. So you can relax in the beautiful pool and enjoy quite the jungle sounds. The rooms are tidy and clean. I can recommend this place to everybody.

“Wonderful stay.”

Roshan was a fabulous hoste, and the place is beautiful and natural gardens, nothing was too much trouble for him, always smiling, he organised a private safari at a good price and it was amazing 👏. The pool is lovely and clean and breakfast was lovely and plenty. Our room was very clean and accomadating. You can walk 5 minutes to find little cafes pharmacy and a 10 min walk to nice restaurants. Plenty of tuk tuks near by too. We would definitely stay again,thank you roshan for your kindness and looking after us so well.

“Lovely place”

Lovely hotel with a good pool, about 8m long. Friendly and helpful staff

“I would definitely recommend staying here”

Communication was good from the start, and the owners and family were very nice and welcoming. It was in a great location because we could easily walk to the elephant orphanage which we did twice! There are places to eat nearby and because we had an early morning start for our safari we were made a breakfast box from the hotel. We enjoyed the pool too

the staff was very nice, setting up a table just for us near the pool, cooking very good food. the location is very close to the national park

Very nice and friendly host. We were met with tea and bananas - it's so important after a long way. This place in Udalawawe has fair price because when we were trying to book a room in other places for the prices we saw on the site, later it came obvious that the prices are actual only if you also book safari in this or that exact place. In Olivi palace you see the real price, if you don't need safari, it's okay. It was perfectly clean. The design of the room is sweat and nice. The place is very close to Elephant transit home.

Very clean hotel

Large room, comfy beds, friendly staff

“For what we paid. No complaints”

Clean Well presented Exceptional value for money

“Perfect location - very friendly!”

The guest house was the perfect location for the elephant orphanage and safari. It was also a beautiful location in its own right, with a lovely room and dining area. We felt so well taken care of from start to finish. Thank you!

“A perfect place for a short stay and safari”

Good location close to Udawalawe National Park and the staff was extremely welcoming :) Big thanks to Roshan for going above and beyond throughout our stay. They offered reasonable prices for accommodation and also organised a safari tour which turned out to be amazing 🙂

“Amazing hidden place!”

One of the best stays we had in Sri Lanka. We booked it completely exhausted when we were 5 minutes away from the place, and when we arrived, there was no one, but in about 30s Marjan arrived on his motorbike telling us that he lives 5min away and came straight when he saw a new booking. He instantly made us feel welcome and made us welcome fresh drinks. Since they also had a jeep, they offered us a morning Safari for a great price, which was absolutely stunning. When we came back, we received another complimentary fresh juice! Marjan was absolutely wonderful. We asked for lunch and he went above and beyond and cooked us multiple wonderul meals we couldn't even finish. The place was very clean, and truly a great experience! However! When looking for the place, look for signs, as google maps doesn't actually have the street that its on in its maps. The signs showed us the way - google maps was wrong.

Great places and they organised I great safari

Very nice and helpful staff. Delicious dinner in the garden was beyond ours expectations - totally worth its price and highly recommended. Clean and comfortable room.

“Treated like royalty at Olivi Palace”

Wonderful, spacious, clean and comfortable rooms Great area to relax overlooking the garden Fantastic hosts Lovely food and drinks - our evening meal was our best in Sri Lanka. Safari jeep for safari tours with Udawalawe jeep safari services - great tour with Nuwan Prepared a really good packed breakfast for our early morning safari

Olivi Palace exceeded all my expectations, providing a truly memorable stay in Sri Lanka. Host' warm hospitality and homemade meals made our stay truly special. The cozy rooms and enchanting atmosphere added to the overall experience. I highly recommend Olivi Palace to anyone seeking an authentic Sri Lankan experience. Would definitely come back
