    All in all it was a good experience with all the nature on your doorstep but the hotel is a little run down in places.

    The food was good and staff were friendly but the restaurant was dated and had no atmosphere. The room wasn’t super clean and the bathroom needs a makeover.

    Beautiful location and within walking distance to the national park! Birds, monkeys and bats seen from our room.

    Not what I didn't like so much as I wish I knew, if you want alcohol bring it, being the Legends they are they ran out and got me beer (Lion) but nothing else soft drink and water no problem also no TV, I read a lot so no complaining from me but just so you know

    It wasn't what we expected but after the first night we both appreciated the location and loved our room. The staff truly are wonderful and the location is fantastic

    The garden view was not scenic, so we kept the curtains closed

    Lovely to sit outside for breakfast and watch the wildlife, especially the hornbills. Two minutes drive from the national park. The hotel prepared a lovely packed breakfast and lunch for our safari day.

    Property was fine, we coudnt use the common area in our tree house as it was dirty and furniture were damaged. This could be improved.

    Location was perfect as Willpatu NP is next door. A great chance to see local life, as you can walk around the village/ lake. Place was nice and clean but we found it a bit pricy for what it is.

    If you are not used to having small geckos in your room you could find it strange, but the place is in the middle of nature, so it is normal. Shower water pressure could be better :) .

    We stayed 2 nights in the tree house. The staff in this place was amazing, they went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests (and we've had a lot of questions ). Delicious and affordable food, big portion to fill your belly after a game drive. The location is right next to the national park. The room is comfortable, but not the fanciest, with mosquito net on the lower bed. The terrace was amazing, you can see squirrels, monkeys, hornbills flying around, and even during heavy rain you can rest and relax outside. You can organize game drives directly from here, with a private safari 4x4, half day or full day for affordable prices. Thank you so much for having us!

    Wilpattu Tree House: Embrace Nature's Charm

    While the facilities were decent, the pricing seemed a tad steep, perhaps reflecting the premium on its prime location. Despite a few insects in the bathroom, our overall experience remained largely unaffected

    Our time at Wilpattu Tree House was a delightful immersion into nature's embrace. The staff were warm and attentive, ensuring a seamless experience throughout. The treehouse offered a unique vantage point to observe wildlife, with our balcony providing enchanting glimpses of passing animals. Situated near the national park entrance, it served as an ideal launching pad for our safari adventure.

    It was really fun and lovely to be staying in a treehouse and being able to listen to and see the wildlife from our balcony. The hotel was also located right next to the national park which was very convenient. The food was also very tasty and the bed had a good mosquito net.

    Decent facilities. Slightly overpriced for the accommodation. Paying for location, which is fantastic.

    Location Location! Right at the entrance to Wilpattu. Very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed one night in one of the lodge rooms. We had dinner there. Traditional Sri Lankan fare. They also arranged the 4x4 half day tour of the reserve. That was more than adequate time to spend there.

    Only thing is they didn't clean the room. I guess we had to have asked for housekeeping but that wasn't indicated.

    Top location right next to the park entrance. We had a room on the top floor, nice terrace with a beautiful view. Comfortable bed, Helpful staff, they arranged a full day safari and supplied us with a very good breakfast and lunch. Our safari driver/guide was Ranjen and he was excellent and totally exceeded our expectations.
