Kind staff, idyllic atmosphere, and close to the national park. The host offers various services, such as safari, cooking class, boat safari, etc. The swimming pool is a nice way to cool yourself down on a hot day.

Everything! The service was impeccable. We booked a safari with the hotel as well, which was amazing! The food is really good (i recommend the Sri Lankan curry and rice; also the sandwiches they provided for the safari were delicious). They let us use the pool after we checked out as we still had some time to kill before departing to the next place.

We chose Gayan's for the location, a few hundred metres from the entrance to Uda Walawe National Park, but a stay here offers so much more. The room was very clean and comfortable with good air con, fan and hot water and was good value. Gayan organised a trip to the Elephant Transit Home, an afternoon safari, and he drove us to Galle for a very fair price. Our safari driver Gune, looked after us very well in the Park. He drove safely and showed experience in spotting many animals and careful positioning for a good view. Gayan's mother prepared a delicious vegetarian rice and curry meal both nights, and the included breakfast was delicious too. We would definitely stay there again.

Very clean , excellent combination of western and local food, dedicated & friendly service, convenient and relaxing environment

One of the best stays in Sri Lanka. We got very spacious room - the whole challet just for us. It was very nice there. The swimming pool was just amazing. Everything is new and clean and the staff was super nice. They drove us from Ella for half of the price we were offered in Ella. The hotel is close to the national park, you can agree on the safari trip directly in the hotel and they come for you. They also arranged for us a taxi to Mirrisa and managed to rent a bigger car to travel with other travellers for lower price for us. The dinner was sri lankan average, but very big (three courses menu).

Super friendly staff; clean and spacious room; close to Uda Walawe Natioanl Park - only 15 min. from hotel to entrance gate; good value for money

Nice host. Clean rooms. Great location. If you are lucky You can see the elephants through your room window. And also excellent safari. Highly recommended.

The place was exactly what we'd hoped for. clean, well managed awesome food great service wonderful location

The warming vibes of the staff and the room

We liked everything. The small houses are placed in the beautiful garden of Mila’s, where you are staying in between cinnamon and pepper plants, which is awesome. The host is super nice and organized a safari for the four of us. Everything is super clean! Thanks a lot for having us!

The old building is full of history, you feel like staying in a museum! I did not use the pool, but it looked very clean. The place is cluse to a busy little town, but you would not know it is there. The staff was very attentive and looked after me. This is a wonderful place to get away from the tourist bubble!

We originally booked to stay for two nights but we extended it to three as we loved it so much. The staff were AMAZING, the food was really good and the rooms were lovely. We stayed over Christmas and they put on a special Christmas buffet and made it feel really special. We did the safari through them too and we loved it! You can also drive down the road and see elephants even on the way to the national park. Also after leaving the hotel, we had a puncture in the middle of nowhere. We called the hotel for advice and someone from reception came to help us and spent so long sorting it with us. We are soooo grateful for your kindness. To all the staff on reception and in the restaurant - THANK YOU. Your friendliness everyday made us stay for longer.

Our hosts was especially kind and were always open for our requests. They even helped us when we did not ask for it. The room was perfect, very clean and modern for a very good price.
