We had a fantastic stay here. The house & setting are just beautiful, so peaceful & the hosts are so welcoming & friendly. The bed was so comfortable! We had an evening meal here which was home cooked & delicious. We had an early start the following day for a Jeep safari we’d booked through the hosts & we were sent off with a huge packed breakfast. The safari was fabulous too, the guide was so knowledgeable about Udawele Park. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We had an amazing stay at Mansala Safari House. The hosts are very kind and welcoming, and the house itself is clean and comfortable. The hosts arranged two safaris for us which were both excellent; the driver picked us up directly from the accommodation and was very knowledgeable about the park. We had the car completely to ourselves as well. The hosts provided breakfast in the morning, and also gave us water bottles and coffees for the safaris. During our second day we were reading on the lovely terrace and the host even came up with a fresh mango for us which was delicious. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone - lovely hosts and a great space!

One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka! Lovely family run accommodation in a quiet area. The family were so welcoming and it was such a pleasure getting to know them. The room was very spacious , clean , nicely decorated and very comfortable. We had dinner and had big portions of delicious , authentic , home cooked food. We also had a lovely traditional Sri Lankan breakfast there. They arranged our morning safari which was so memorable and we had a fantastic guide. We were even given water and iced coffee for the journey! It is excellent value for money and I would recommend this guest house to anyone.

I can’t say enough good things about Tiron and his family who run the Mansala Safari Guest House. They set us up with a great safari guide, and cooked up some delicious traditional Sri Lankan food. This stay is a great value for your money and I would highly recommend if you’re planning on visiting Uduwalawa.

What a beautiful location and home. The air conditioning was on in the room when I got there which felt amazing in the heat and the owner was extremely welcoming, kind, and helpful.

Great guesthouse base for Safari

We had a fantastic stay with Tiron and his family, very welcoming and authenticly friendly hosts. Tiron organised 2x safaris over our stay (4 hr PM and 6 hr AM), both of which were really fantastic, we had a private jeep and had amazing experiences with elephants, wild buffalo, crocodiles, deer, mongoose and a load of interesting birds. Tiron was really attentive throughout our stay and always made sure we had bottles of water and was even up with packed lunches for our 5am safari start. We also ate dinner at the house both nights, cooked from scratch by the family - highly recommended!

5 star customer service by this hotel. Tiron informed us before we arrived that there was an issue with the room, so he took the liberty to book us an alternative hotel that turned out to be just as nice as his! Communication was easy with him via WhatsApp, allowing us to easily book a safari the very next morning with a very well spoken and knowledgeable driver/guide. 10/10 would stay again.

Amazing Stay!

Wonderful stay! Rooms are very clean and spacious. There is AC and a fan in the room. We chose to eat dinner at the hotel because there were not many options in the nearby town. The food was amazing and it was a nice experience to have a local home cooked meal. Breakfast was also fantastic. Excellent value for money. We just stayed 1 night and did a sunrise safari in the morning. The hotel also arranged a taxi for us down to Mirissa after our safari tour. 10/10 and would definitely stay again.

There was a mixup with our reservation. Owner had organized us to stay in his brothers place, which was good. Even though our relocation he took care of us; organized safari with good driver/guide, gave us several lifts to the village center, as well as restaurant recommendations. He also got us comfotable car to get into Unawatuna. Even though I can't say anything about rooms or food in this hotel, I would book again just because of service was great and everything was taken care of regarding this mixup before we arrived.
