This hotel was well run and a very cool glamping experience. Customer service was excellent. We were very hungry one night after a day at the safari and the manager had the buffet set up a little earlier for us which we really appreciated. The staff made is very simple to organise trips and taxis.

Large pool and beautiful jungle setting. Good pool side areas with lots of shade.
Food at dinner was very tasty and good value.
The management agreed to room upgrade after the room we were given was not good. ( check whether your room has a balcony as the rooms in the 'block' do and those in the main building do not )
Playing pool before dinner
Great AC in the rooms
Good value safari driver arranged by the staff in the hotel ( tip. we paid the driver $40 for the driver, and bought tickets on arrival at the Udawalawe park entrance. you can pick up a local volunteer guide in the car park as you buy your tickets who can talk through the animals and park detail. we then tipped the guide around $10. The total for the 3 hour safari worked about $40 per person)

Room was outstanding- beautiful view, really large with an amazing bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful in arranging our safari and showing us where to get dinner and providing us with drinks to enjoy on our balcony! Really close to the entrance to the national park, we saw lots of elephants around the perimeter of the park even before we did our safari which was wonderful.

Udawalawe is an ELephant Safari park primarily and one would expect to see many elephants however pls inquire from your hotel prior booking because during the hot season you will not see elephants freely roaming around. also if there are too many vehicles entering it becomes too crowded.
If the days are hot and humid suggest not going in the morning you wont see animals

The restaurant has a great offer and good prices & the staff is so friendly and helpful! Of course we did a safari that was arranged by the hotel. Our drivers name is ravind and he did such a wonderful job, I would always recommend him. He was friendly, helpful and translated the animals name in his language. He did his best so we could spot a lot of different animals and of course a ton of elephants! We really enjoyed the time with him.

Generosity is the first thing that comes to our mind when we think back to our stay at Green View Safari. It is a family-run business and the owners were so very kind and helpful in every possible way. The location is perfect, the entrance to the Udawalawe National Park is just a 10-min drive away. The room was simple, clean and comfortable. Dinners were home-cooked, delicious Sri Lankan dishes. We were there during the Sinhala New Year and were invited to take part in some of the local traditions. A very nice and memorable experience!
This is the best accommodation that we have stayed in. The family are very welcoming, quiet and gentle. We had hot water and air conditioning and a large room with an ensuite. It is all ivery clean. We were welcomed with tasty coconut drinks. The evening meal was an extensive selection of different curry dishes and really delicious. We also loved the curds and treacle afterwards. It's a great place to stay and do a safari in the Udawalawe national park which is 5 minutes away. We also had an amazing safari with Lahiru during our stay.
Beautiful location on a small lake, great food, very friendly and helpful owners, small but clean rooms. And the owner Samantha is providing the best safari tours at Udawalawe National Park. Book an all-day tour with him, you will not regret it. We met many tourists doing a 4h tour starting in the early morning who haven’t seen a single elephant. We started later, but took our time and went deep into the park. At the end of the day we saw more than 50 elephants, 5 crocodiles and many other animals.
Eagle Safari, is great for an overnight stay so you can take a safari at Udawalawe National Park. Hotel staff were able to organise the safarai and make suggestions on the best time to do it . The property is in a quiet secluded location, with the cabins overlooking a reserve. Included breakfast was good quality and you are able to request lunch and dinner as well,Take any snacks, supplies and money with you if you need them whilst there. Overall, a pleasant relaxing stay and nice friendly staff :)
We really enjoyed our stay at the Elephant Trail. The hotel looked stylish and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The food was good and at a very nice price - we spent just around $15 on two meals for two. The safari was also great. With no other guest doing a safari that morning, there were just the two of us in the car and we weren't charged any extra for that. The car driver was also friendly and happy to do the job of a guide sharing some facts about the wildlife in the national park.
Beautiful quiet place near Udawalawe park. We arrived at 11am and did the afternoon half day safari with lunch which was arranged by hotel. Safari was amazing and guide was really helpful. After Safari we had a lovely swim in the pool and dinner in the restaurant. Really nice quiet rooms with AC and powerful showers. Breakfast was really good and big portions. Was a great place to between ella and Marissa.
The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated with large bathrooms. The host is very nice and assisted with anything we needed from transportation to arranging the safari. The location is also great, very close to Udawalawe national park entrance. The dinner was a nice rice and curry buffet, although they tone down the spices a lot. Breakfast was also very tasty with lots of fresh fruits.
This is one of the best hotels with everything that you need with a good price. We had a wonderful stay. Very relaxing environment, Clean and spacious room with an amazing view, friendly staff, delicious food. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to go to safari and other activities but if you are planning to stay here it would be a great experience!
Wow! So far this hotel was our most beautiful place to stay in sri lanka! It is in the middle of the national park and the room was very large and beautiful. We liked the huge pool the best! The breakfast was delicious and so was our lunch and dinner! The staff was very courteous and they organized a great safari trip and a visit to the elephant orphanage.
Wild Horizon in Udawalawe, Sri Lanka, exceeded all my expectations. Sandhya, the host, made me feel incredibly welcome, and her hospitality added a personal touch to the experience. Plus, the food was simply amazing. If you're planning a trip to Udawalawe, I highly recommend staying at Wild Horizon for an unforgettable experience.
It was a really pleasant stay. We opt to get our dinner from them because of their breakfast-it was that good. We loved the food even it is our first time trying sri lankan cuisine. The place was so clean, the staffs were so accomodating and friendly. The trip to the national park was so stunning. A highly recommended place.
We had a very good stay here. The room was one of the best we have stayed at in Sri Lanka for a budget hotel. He organised a half day safari for us at a very good price. Recommended places to go and eat. Breakfast was really good. Highly recommend this place for your stay in Udawalawe
The owner is very helpful. The place is beautiful very cozy very quiet and in excellent location. The food is the best one we tried in Sri Lanka. We took the Safari with the owner and was the best experience. The rooms very clean and with all the necessary thing. Super recommended.
I absolutely recommend this guest house during your visit to the Udawalawe National Park. Tiron and his family are very welcoming and the food is out of this world, our best rice and curry during our stay in Sri Lanka. Tiron can also arrange a Safari tour with experienced guide.
Perfect base for safaris to Udawalawe National Park. The hotel organizes excellent safari tours. After the safari, the entire evening can be spent in the river and the birdsong can be heard non-stop till around 6.30 pm. Dinner was excellent. Brilliant value for money.
Fantastic property which is great value for money away from the main village of Udawalawe. Staff were lovely and the food was excellent. Accommodation was great and the outdoor private shower was fantastic. The kids loved it. Very close to Udawalawe national park.
The pool is the best part of this hotel, it's super clean and large. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable.
The manager helped us to order a take away as we arrived too late to order dinner.
Very close to the entrance to the park.
Luxurious accommodation with a terrace and a view of the pool, an excellent restaurant, a friendly staff. 0.5 km from a supermarket and a wine shop, the hotel will arrange a safari to Udawalawe National Park.
This place is perfect location for Udawalawe National Park Safari. Ama and Sachith are the nicest hosts we have ever met. Room is super clean and comfortable, food is delicious! I highly recommend
