Really nice little hotel with your own little cabin. Room is clean and tidy, bed is confortable. Incredible wildlife all around with monkeys and squirrels jumping on the roof. The family that own the hotel is really nice and always happy to help you. The food was the best we had around Sri Lanka. You should really try the dinner ! We can only recommand.

I would not like to share this cool secret place with anyone, but the owner asked me to leave a review. A wonderful family of very kind people lives here. Therefore, I would not like people with an exclusively consumer attitude to come here, but let's hope that the one who reads this review is not a bad person. The place is located far from the main intersections, in the wilderness of the village, respectively, there are no tourist touts, and heaps of pestering toukers, but just very quiet and beautiful. The houses are very cozy, well renovated, the rooms are bright, spacious and with high ceilings. The houses themselves are in the shade of tall various trees: mangoes, coconuts, jackfruits, lemons and tangerines also grow, and everything else. Small monkeys sometimes walk through the trees, but they are cultured and timid, small water lizards live in the stream. In the lowlands near the houses there is a streamlet. There is a small clean river at the back of the plot. Simple small shops with fruits and household needs are within walking distance here. If you need to get to Cargills or to the Wine shop, then the owner is always ready to let you down if he is free, you can also order a PickMe, of course, I myself sometimes went by bus for 60 rupees. I have eaten a lot of places in Sri Lanka, but without hypocrisy I can say that the hostess here cooks perfectly. The food is always fresh, the portions for one are even excessively large. Here they can really cook European food normally, without any masala and not spicy. Fried or stewed chicken with a side dish and with a fresh vegetable salad was always served to me here, if I had asked, they would have served beef (well, I think you know that it's a little inappropriate in Sri). It is undoubtedly better to take food from the owners, because for this money in the cafes of Udavalava, you will not find such quality. Wi-Fi is stable, the connection is fiber-optic.

I recently stayed at Secret River Side Safari Lodge and had an amazing time! The hospitality was top-notch, and the host organized an incredible safari that added an adventurous touch to my stay. The room was spacious with stunning views, and the on-site dining was a delightful culinary experience. A perfect blend of luxury and nature. Highly recommend for a unique Udawalawe getaway! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
