The most beautiful family of hosts that went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The rooms are brand new, very clean and tidy and well presented. The food menu was simple and the food incredibly tasty... and extremely good value! Organised a full day safari jeep at a fantastic rate for us. The hospitality can not be over-stated... absolutely beautiful family! Definitely recommend.

From the first contact with the owner Mr. Kamal, until arriving at the accommodation where we were met by the manager Manju and his wife - absolutely everything was perfect. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner in the accommodation. The lady cooks deliciously and to order. We went with Manju on a full-day safari. There is 10 minutes to drive at the entrance of NP Wilpattu. At night, local farmers chase the elephants out of the rice fields. It's noisy, exciting and a great experience for us tourists (I believe it's not for the locals, I feel for them). Amazingly, tap water is drinkable!!!! The owner orders a tank of drinking water in the tank, which is additionally filtered! Congratulations! We regularly consumed tap water (for 3 days) without the slightest problem! Like at home :) If it were possible, I would give a score of 11 and not 10*. We are not backpackers and I would absolutely choose the accommodation again! Do not hesitate to choose this accomodation.

Isuru and Samadhi are fantastic hosts. From the moment we arrived they made us feel welcomed. They are very attentive and attended to all our needs. The bungalow is spacious, comfy and nicely laid out. The photos on the wall are taken by Isuru himself and are absolutely stunning, he’s one talented photographer! Samadhi cooked amazing Sri Lankan breakfast and dinners and had no issues making them vegetarian for us. We stayed 3 nights, booked a half day and full day safari through the accommodation and we loved every minute of it. Wilpattu is an incredible park filled with lots of wildlife. We also did the walking tour with Isuru and got to see the local farming/land practices and that was good fun, be sure to do it. Isuru and Samadhi are a beautiful couple and we wish them all the best in their new journey with Safaria Lodge.

Owner gave us a nice birdwatching tour in the evening, they were always ready to bring us whatever we needed and when we came back they had fresh watermelon juice ready for us to enjoy. Besides that, the wife of the owner is an extremely good cook. To top things off, we even got the brand new room they had just finished. It also a great base of operations for day trips in to the fabulous Wilpattu park.

I believe this guest house is ideal for people doing a Wilpattu Safari: - it is located right next to the park entrance. - it is not luxurious, but who needs a luxurious hotel if you are going to spend the entire day on safari anyway? - the AC worked great, the bed slept well and it has an ensuite shower and toilet. - they were happy to supply lunch and breakfast for the safari, and prepare dinner as well. I ate very well there. - the hostess was very kind and happy to help with questions. - if you are lucky you may already spot some animals from your window! I saw a wild peacock and monkeys. But apparently elephants also sometimes roam through nearby fields.

New Homestay with comfortable big rooms. Very nice shower, better than what I have at home. Silent airconditioning. Not cheap but worth the price because of the quality of the rooms. Extra will be breakfast 1200,diner 1500, softdrinks 300-500. Food good though. Contact with the manager only by phone, that's a pity, contact with the local family who takes care of the accommodation and food is very good, though little English.

We had an amazing experience in Wikpattu Mooklan Resort! The owner and his son were taking care of us all the time and organized a great safari! It was a full day trip at a very affordable price, We managed to see 3 leopards, bear, elefant, crocodiles, tones of deers, and many, many other species of mammals, reptiles and birds. At night we could hear a lot of animals and it was an extremely peaceful time. The food was delicious and made with love. Absolutely recommended place!

We can a 100% recommend this resort for everybody. Stayed here 2 days and the personal does absolutely everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The food they serve is really tasty and there is a evening buffet that you certainly will enjoy. You can have a nice walk to create your own mini-safari. The owner, Roshan, is a really nice guy and helped us with everything. Booked an amazing safari as well with a driver who new the animals and their patterns very good allowing us to see them all. Nothing but praises.
