Great hospitality and such a unique setting. Food was amazing, we were not expecting that. The staff booked our safari and packed breakfast and lunch for us. What more could you ask for.

I booked a superior chalet for one night at Green Sapphire Holiday Resort this year in January. I was doing an early morning safari at Wilpaththu the next day, and the resort made for a great stopover. My chalet was large, super clean, and they let me extend my check out time so I could have a shower after the safari. The packed breakfast was not gourmet food, but made for a welcome meal inside Sri Lanka's most beautiful game reserve.

I would highly recommend this place for both locals and foreigners alike. The caretaker is amazing, he came to the road on his scooter to show us the way. The owner is super responsive and flexible.

This is a very private, hidden-away location in walking distance to the National Park. In fact, you can't get closer by staying anywhere else--and this means you save time by getting to sleep in during the morning. The host and owner, Leel, doesn't speak much English, but uses Google Translate to always help. The rooms have the best A/C, and with only a few bedrooms on the property, it's very private and great for bird-watching. Simple, efficient, and relaxing.

The location is stunning in the serene village. Wilderness and wildlife and glorious nature all around but it is the staff that made this stay exceptional.

There are many lodges around and near Willpatu National Park. This one is very close to the park entrance and is one of the best options to stay if you want to go on a safari. The room has the basics but let's not forget that you are essentially in the jungle. The room and bathroom were very clean. Our stay there was made very easy by Gida, the owner of the lodge. She is an amazing cook but also very good company and always willing to help as we faced some problems with the rented tuk-tuk. Thank you very much and sorry if we tired you a little

Just about 100 meters from the entrance to Wilpattu wildlife national park. The owner is and experienced tour guide and happily will tell you about the wildlife to be found, both in and out of the park. Just by the entrance to the park is a trail going around a beautiful lake where families come for a bath and swim. We were warned not to not to walk around outside after dark to avoid unpleasant encounters with wild animals. I would defintely go back there to stay if I am in the area.

    The host was amazing and easy to talk to. Arranged diner for us when we arrived late in the evening. The room was clean and has a mosquito net. The homestay is a few minutes front the national park gate.

    Susil was a great host for us. He took time to talk with us and tell us about the surrounding area and some of the history of Sri Lanka. Made us beautifully cooked homemade meals with traditional ingredients. Very kind man that made our stay an extremely positive one. Hostel is in the most perfect location literally metres from the entrance of the national park.
