We loved the outdoor bathroom and tranquil setting. The food served was some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka. The safari and visit to the elephant transit centre organised by them, was excellent.

Recently stayed at Hasthi Safari Cottage and it was a truly memorable experience overall. This family‑run guesthouse offers a unique blend of eco‑lodge charm, genuine Sri Lankan hospitality, and convenient access to wildlife and nature perfect if you’re visiting Udawalawe for the safari.
The cottages are nestled in lush gardens, creating a serene, almost jungle-like atmosphere, yet everything you need is just a short walk away. One of my favorite touches was the beautifully designed outdoor washing areas, which blend nature and comfort in such a thoughtful way. Even if you are 50 or more meters from a city main street you can feel like it's a jungle. Also you can reach everything by foot.
So warm, attentive hosts. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome, help with safari arrangements, dinner plans. Delicious local cuisine for a good price and big portions.
If you’re after a charming, nature‑oriented cottage stay with personal service in Udawalawe and want easy access to safari adventures, Hasthi Safari Cottage is highly recommended for most travelers. It’s especially great for couples, small groups, and anyone who values local hospitality and flavorful Sri Lankan food.

6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
Very good location. Outdoor bathroom was cool and novel. Breakfast was nice. Staff was pleasant.
Overall didn’t live up to our expectations. Shower was cold water only, so even though outside it was very chilly indeed. Tub is not able to be filled yourself. Room was strong odour of mothballs. Very basic. AC was available but maybe a bit broken - seemed to be only on or off. No top blanket meant with AC on we were freezing and AC off we were boiling. Dinner was definitely edible, but a little cold (not made on site). Not the best. When we arrived there was no one to greet us so we had to go and find someone to try to get the WiFi password etc. Overall not my favorite stay, but certainly passable.
