Ceylon resort wilpattu

10/10 Excellent

"A"

Wilpattu Gagana Guest

10/10 Excellent

"Very generous space, and lovely staff. Place is a bit more dated than the photos show but still lovely to stay in."

Aryana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great quiet hotel to relax after sightseeing."

wilpattu Tree House

10/10 Excellent

"Possibly the best hotel stay I've ever had. The room was comfortable, with wonderful views - from our balcony we could see elephants. It's in the perfect location, right at the entrance to the national park (hence the view!). The food was delicious. What really sets the place apart, though, is the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful, with special thanks to Sampath for taking us to the water so we could see the wildlife, and for going above and beyond with food and drink. We were even offered free use of the showers, tea and snacks after returning from our safari to collect luggage, having already checked out. I can't speak highly enough of everyone there and would recommend the hotel to anyone planning a trip to the national park"

"Great staff, good food and all round value for money"

Gimanhala Tissawawa

"I had a great stay. The property was located right on the lake and run by a small family. They went above and beyond to help me with my pilgrimage. I booked a small room but I upgraded to the cabana."

"Lovely Staff. Great place"

The Lake Forest Hotel

Big Game - Wilpattu by Eco Team

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed only one night but wished I stayed an extra one. The staff were so accommodating and extremely friendly. I really loved the afternoon walk around the village where I saw my first elephant of my Sri Lankan trip and evening walk around the gardens looking at the nocturnal animals. I would highly recommend staying here!!"
