We had to book on short notice due to the original property we were to stay at cancelling on us. We are SO glad we ended up staying here. It is a 10 out of 5 stars for us! The staff are so very friendly and helpful, the rooms are excellent, the food, both in the restaurant and what they will pack for you if you do a day trip are exceptional! They will cater to your “spice” level if that is a concern. The food is plentiful and freshly prepared. The location is wonderful, relaxing and picturesque. The staff take the time to explain the food to you and are happy to answer any questions you may have. The rooms are so clean, have everything you need. The beds are comfortable. I cannot say enough good things about this location. I would not hesitate to recommend this location or stay here again myself.

Great location, very calm and quiet environment with water front. The owner is very friendly and helpful to make that we had a pleasant stay. The pllace was very clean and the food was really yummy. The bird watching boat ride at sunset was really awesome.

We had a very enjoyable stay here. Room had everything we needed and was very clean.
Dinner was good, there aren't really any restaurants in a 10-15km radius so this was a good solution for us. Arranged the safari for us as well.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
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.
Nice quiet place with extra kind hosts. They also arranged a jeep safari and the driver-guide was both knowledgable and willing to try as Hard as possible to let us see the most of the fauna, including the leopard. And he made it!
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
Green Sapphire is in a great location on the access road to Wilpattu. There are lots of little shops selling snacks and things along that road too. It is not isolated. It is easy to find, on a good, sealed road.
The place is kept immaculately clean.
Dylan (the main host) is very responsive and helpful and will sort out whatever you need. He also provided plenty of food as well as binoculars, a tripod and a lens for mobile phone cameras
Aircon was good and needed
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.
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.
Great location when visiting Wilpattu NP for safari. Owners where super friendly! Food, both breakfast and dinner, where home cooked and diverse. Bed was comfy, musquito net and ac in the room. The guesthouse is close to the Wilpattu entrance and easy to reach by road. Don't be surprised to see an elephant walking past the guesthouse. There is a lake near the place where you can walk and watch some wildlife as well.
Owner has his own jeep and can arrange safaris for a fair price.
Great host and family to stay at, made us feel welcome and at home. Arranged a safari for us at Wilpattu national park. Great Sri Lankan food in the evening.
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.
Our stay here was amazing! Dylan and his staff were such great hosts - he arranged for us to be picked up from the airport and organised our safari! The food was also very tasty!
