Hans

From

Netherlands

The hospitality, and privacy are unmatched in this touristy area, two small private bungalows, hidden in the jungle-garden. We had an incredible stay. Leel organised the safari, which was amazing. He knows the park well, doesn't stay in the beginning of the park but drives well in the park to find the best spots! Dinner (curry) was great, Leels wife is an amazing cook! Will definitely recommend and stay there again.

Cosima

From

Austria

Everything at Amba Kola was exceptional - especially the people. Louise, Janik, and Janik’s whole family are the loveliest people you will meet. The food is fantastic - everything is locally sourced and prepared with the finest spices and lots of love (Janik’s mom is an award-winning cook by the way). At Amba Kola the hosts will go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. They took us around in their safari jeep to see the elephants and wildlife and we even went swimming in the canal! The room (and the whole property) are lovely with so many personal touches to it. Louise is an artist and her art is present all over the place! Also, the outdoor bathroom is unique. I showered in the dark under the stars - an experience like no other. All I can say is: Come to Amba Kola and see for yourself. These people deeply care for what they do and it shows in every aspect. You won’t be disappointed!

An accommodation surrounded by nature. Very close to the lake and to the elephant transit home. The staff was very helpful and friendly, he arranged a safari with a very nice driver who paid so much attention in wildlife welfare. He also arranged our transfer from Mirissa and then to yala, the driver was friendly and was a pleasure to talk to him. We had a wonderful dinner and also a super Ayurvedic massage near the accommodation!!

Very friendly staff that give us complementary welcome drink and the owner arranged everything for us, including lunch on arrival (7USD/2200LKR), the safari (60-67 USD for 5h). He even went out of his way to drop us off in the city centre (free!).

Perfect place to stay 2-3 days if you go in safari. You can relax by the pool (which is outdoor) on great sun beds in the afternoon.

Honestly, this is the best place to stay in the region by far. The place if awsome, we booked for a night and we regretted to not stay longer. The tents are designed in a great manner, very clean, very spacious and comfortable. The swimming pool is huge and you will not get out of it for sure. For dinner, we ordered the mix seafood platter, it was yummy, Tuna, prawns and calmari were so delicious. I highly recommend this resort, and for at least 3 nights.
