“A piece of paradise, perfect all round.”
Wow! We loved every minute of our stay at this hotel. From the attentive service, both before and during the stay, to the beautiful thatched lodge to the pristine infinity pool everything was perfect. Dinesh the manager is a true credit to the hotel, he was so helpful organising our safari and giving helpful advice on where to go on our next stop in Ella. The food was outstanding, we would definitely stay here again. 10/10.

“A perfect jungle escape with beautiful chalets, great food, and outstanding hospitality.”
Gaga Bees is the perfect place to experience jungle vibes while completely relaxing. The atmosphere makes it feel like a private villa, even though there were other guests around. The chalets are beautiful, and the surroundings and pool create a truly peaceful environment. The staff were exceptional, especially Denish, who was incredibly helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. The food was also very tasty, adding to the overall great experience.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. The Manager and his staff were really lovely, caring, friendly and enthusiastic. They made our stay unforgettable. The manager organised everything for us and even went buying Mango 15km further away for our juices. We did aswell the safari through the hotel, which was really nice and a good price. Generally said we had a great time in this beautiful hotel with a nice pool and absolutely great staff. Recommend it to everyone visiting the area. It's a beautiful and relaxing place.

We spent one night at Gaga Bees and were really happy with our stay. The cabins are a good size with comfortable beds, nice shower and very clean. We had breakfast and also dinner-both meals were so tasty and very generous portion sizes. The manager Dinesh organised the safari for us and went out of it‘s way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. He and the rest of the staff are lovely people and we wish them all the best and good fortune.

“Nice!”
We were fortunate to be among the first guests at this charming hotel. A very naturally designed small resort with seven houses. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were very tasty. A lovely place to relax after a safari in Udawalawe!

“Way too expensive for the lack of maintenance, pictures misleading”
The tents were spacious with comfortable beds. The manager was nice and agreed to let us stay only one night instead of two.

After the safari at the udawalawa National Park, we arrived at the hotel in the evening. The location of this property is close to the river and it's very beautiful. We ordered our dinner in there. The food was so good. (We ordered something sri lankan with lake fish). The bed was so comfortable, and the room was very clean. You can make your own tea or coffee in the room. Apart from our tent, there are few tents in this property. The environment of this property is very calm and quiet. There were few options for breakfast. We ordered the srilankan breakfast for us, and it was so delicious. Actually it was a nice experience of our holiday. We will come back soon. Thank you 😊
