Location in the middle of nature was beautiful, right by the lake and the site was very idyllic. The friendly staff was great, always keen to help. They helped us arrange a great pick-up from the airport and a safari and boattrip which were great and with packed lunch. The food was nice, with a nice news year’s eve barbecue. Mubarak the boatdriver was great!

Kurumba Lodge is a wonderful place with an awesome family. From the first welcome drink until the last moment of GoodBye it was an unforgettable lifetime for us. The son Naditha and his parents supported us in nearly every aspect, we could image. Wether it was some technical problems with my camera or an unforgettable safari – in every moment, they were so helpful.
The self made food, the drinks, everything tasted very well.
The place of the lodge is also very nice. The terrace with a wide view, all the wildlife animals – for us as nature lovers and photographers – perfect. And by the way, the bed, the matress, the AC – we slept like in heaven.
The hardest thing was to say goodbye, because it felt already like at home. We felt in love with these wonderful and heart warming people.

Big bed, spacious room. The caretaker made us breakfast to go on safari in the morning and cooked us 2 dinners which were so nice! Very close to the entrance of the national park. You can walk down to the lake at the end of the road also!

We stayed just the one night at Wilpattu Mookalan Resort with the view to do the safari early next morning. The managers of this accommodation are Leel and Buddhika who prepared lovely lunch and dinner for us.
We booked the morning safari with Leel and had a wonderful time. We spotted masses of bird species, deer's, a juvenile crocodile, elephants and a leopard( up a tree), plus... Breakfast and coffee were supplied with the safari.
Leel also organised our taxi back to Negombo. Both the safari, accommodation and taxi were all at very reasonable prices.
Recommended.
Thanks Leel and Buddhika.
For travellers who enjoy beauty in the simple things, a bed and breakfast (B&B) is the perfect place for a getaway. Hosts welcome guests into their homes and provide a private room and complimentary breakfast. Bathrooms may be shared by other guests, and there is often shared space with the host.
Great place and great host! Thanks Anton for hosting us :) only 3 km from Wilpattu park entrance, small but very nice sweeming pool, and a quite place with wonderful pond with birds on the backyard.
This was a lovely boutique hotel with great service, the staff were all lovely and friendly and all went out of their way to ensure our stay was a happy one, it had a lovely pool which we sadly didn’t get chance to use and a very nice separate restaurant/dining area which served lovely food. The room was very comfortable with ceiling fan and air con and fully stocked: shampoo, conditioner and shower gel which were all very nice.
Great secluded spot to soak up nature, watching giant squirrels and Langurs from your room. Elephants roaming the grounds early in the morning too 😎
Room was comfy with plenty of space, staff were super friendly and very helpful
The private plunge pool was a lovely touch after a hot day out
Luxury accommodation with superb meals in a jungle setting. We did the all day safari seeing leopards, elephants, crocodiles and loads of birds. Also the evening boat safari which was relaxing, but very informative with a knowledgeable guide. The setting is idyllic next to the river. There are only a handful of other guests so plenty of space for sitting, relaxing.
The food is of a very high standard, beautifully presented and good value. Nothing is too much trouble for the attentive waiting staff.
The stuff was friendly and the owner was there for us to organise safari. He also tried to find other guest, so we could share a jeep for the safari (unfortunately it didn't work). He also called a tuc tuc for us to bring us back to the main road. The place is in a quiet area, where you mostly only hear the noise of the animals.
Close to the hotel there is a small local snack bar where you can get nice local fingerfood.
The rooms were ok for the price and they were clean.
Amazing accommodation, super friendly host and crew. Beautiful new rooms, new bathroom…, luxury looking. Amazing bed and pillows, by far the best stay. Beautiful garden with fresh fruits, tons of birds to watch and according to paw prints, the occasional elephant. Very good food
Great location, very quiet and relaxed. Staff very helpful although their English was limited - Gihan the owner wasn’t there but contactable by phone - Google translate helped with communication. Delicious breakfast especially the pancakes.
It’s in a great location, peaceful and safe. The tents we stayed in were not the luxury ones but were insect proof and comfortable enough. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The nature walk was worthwhile, the naturalist was knowledgeable.
Awesome hospitality. Great location.
Go for Mahoora preferably as it is more spacious than the Big Game.
Day time is warmer but the night is really cozy.
Thusitha is great host - very humble, prompt and accommodating.
