Kottawatta River Bank Resort, hotel in Udawalawe

Located in Udawalawe, 11 miles from Udawalawe National Park, Kottawatta River Bank Resort has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

The pillows were too soft. A room should have atleast one pillow which is not soft as some people need a bit of a harder pillow. In the restaurant i have comments. The tables should have side plates for every guests. There were no side plates. especially if someone stays full or half board side plates are necessary to keep cutlery and food remains etc . its also preferred to keep cloth serviettes for each guest in addition to tissues. For the Buffet Breakfast, its better to have potatoes mashed as well. Grilled , Mashed and Hashbrowns all three as choices will make a solid choice for guests. Grilled Tomatoes and Mushrooms were missing from the Breakfast buffer where as it forms an important part of such a breakfast. Sausages should be bigger like the brockfost type the thick type. Breakfast is the first meal of the day and guests will expect a good choice and a good breakfast

The chalet was large, clean, private, with great air conditioning. The pool is clean with nice poolside seating. The staff was incredible. The food was delicious. We stayed only the night before a morning safari, but we would wish we would have booked the night after as well. This was the most relaxing lodging we have found in Sri Lanka. Thank you Kalu!

Hotel Gayan's, hotel in Udawalawe

Offering a restaurant, Hotel Gayan's provides free WiFi access in its public areas. The Udawalawa National Park entrance is just a minute drive away.

The room was large with two double beds, and very clean with air conditioning. The host prepared dinner for us and a packed breakfast for us to take on safari. Each meal was about 2,200 Rs for two people. We booked safari through another operator and the host did not take issue with this. I mention this as we had booked another hotel previously that did not want us to stay unless we had booked a safari through them. Overall, perfect place to stay for a night before safari!

    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.

    Perfect stay!

    Perfect stay! The location is quiet & the rooms are incredible. Very clean and comfortable: shower that works perfectly, comfortable bed, air conditioning. I went on safari with the host and the value for money is unbeatable: 5h safari, all included (breakfast, entrance, etc.). It really met my expectations! I can only recommend staying at wild park safari home stay .

    It’s in a peaceful neighborhood away from commercial hotels industry. You would feel connected with nature and people in the community where most people are friendly while minding their own lives. Host family will make your stay memorable with their efforts in making their guests feel welcome and comfortable. Certainly I would recommend this place to friends and will visit again when I return to Udawalawe.

    Hello everyone, just want to share our experience with Gayan ´s hotel. It is located very close to the main entrance of Udawalawe national park, with very kind host Gayan, who provided us the safari tour - with very experienced driver - he saw a little chameleon on a distant branchlet. How could he spot that, we still wonder😀 anyway, we really recommend staying with Gayan ´s!

    We stayed one night to go to Udawalawe National Park. When I opened my eyes in the morning, I could constantly hear the sounds of various animals, as if I had spent the night at the zoo. And although Sri Lankan food is delicious, the food here is uniquely delicious. You should not miss breakfast. Next time I come, this is a place where I want to stay for two nights and rest.
