Ein einmaliges Erlebnis mitten in der Natur. Definitiv empfehlenswert!

9.0

Die Unterkunft liegt wirklich toll und mitten in der Natur. Das bedeutet allerdings auch viele Tiere (wir fanden das toll). Bei unserer Ankunft wurde uns zum Beispiel direkt gesagt, man hätte kurz zuvor eine Kobra in der Nähe unseres Bungalows gesehen. Man sollte sich dessen also bewusst sein. Für uns war es jedoch ein ganz tolles Erlebnis! Der Bungalow selbst war sehr sauber und wirklich sehr komfortabel. Bei unserer Ankunft hatte sich ein kleiner tierischer Bewohner in unser Zimmer verirrt. Dieser wurde allerdings direkt entfernt und das Zimmer wurde noch einmal komplett durchsucht und gesäubert. Das Personal war wirklich unglaublich bemüht und freundlich. Ich hatte während unseres Aufenthalts Geburtstag und man hat mir, ohne, dass wir darum gebeten haben, eine kleine Geburtstagsfeier mit Torte und Ballons ausgerichtet. Das war wirklich sehr schön.

Wir fanden das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis für das Essen etwas zu hoch. Uns ist klar, dass man mitten in der Natur ist und die Möglichkeiten nur begrenzt sind. Das Essen war auf unserer gesamten Reise auf Sri Lanka aber leider mit am schlechtesten. Die Samosas, die wir bestellt hatten, waren von innen beispielsweise noch kalt und das Kottu wirklich fad. Wir haben zwei Safaris mit Wadula gemacht und fanden den Preis für das, was wir bekommen haben etwas zu hoch. Für eine 5stündige Safari wurden lediglich zwei Wasserflaschen gestellt, kein Snack oder sonstiges. Das kennen wir von anderen Safaris anders. Schade war auch, dass es kein Fernglas oder ähnliches gab. So hätte man manche Tiere noch etwas besser sehen können.

El entorno

Precios bastante altos, además si pagas con tarjeta te cobran un 3% más. El colchón no es muy cómodo.

Nice but overpiced meals and requires 4wd vehicle to access

8.0

Walkable to lovely lake, private cabins in the jungle, clean. Pretty grounds. Helpful staff.

No real amenities so aside from the lake, there is nothing else on premises. Overpriced meals for Sri Lanka and breakfast not included. It requires a 4wd vehicle to access this property so someone on site must pick you up from a meet up spot which really limits your ability to go anyplace else. And somewhat binds you to the overpriced meals. Also, although it physically seems to border Yala, it still was a 25 minute drive to the gate so not as closely convenient as you would think.

Großartiges Hotel!

Naturnah und sehr nahe am Yala Nationalpark. Die Mitarbeiter sind hilfsbereit und sehr nett. Ich empfehle jedem dieses Hotel zu buchen wenn man gute Safaris in Sri Lanka machen möchte. Die Zimmer sind sauber und komfortabel.
