Hotel Talawa

« Part of this hotel is under renovation. Improvements are being made but the service is excellent as provided by Dilan, the owner. This hotel has a huge lake right behind it and it is sanctuary to wild life. Very quiet and peaceful. I strongly recommend it. »

« A last minute booking was not an issue. Friendly reception and well organised. Lovely well appointed room. Offered for us to return (after checking out) for a swim and a shower after our safari tour ! »

« Ne vous y méprenez pas, l’atout de cet hôtel réside dans son agréable piscine, propre et à l’eau naturellement chaude. On pourrait aussi parler de son curry agréable. Pour le reste, nous avons été franchement déçus et pourtant, nous ne sommes pas particulièrement exigeants. L’hôtel ne semble plus vraiment entretenu. Les chambres ne sont pas hyper propres, les draps ne sont pas changés. Quand ils organisent des taxis pour vous, ils vous déposent mais oublient de venir vous chercher comme...

« The AC in our first room wasn't functioning properly. We were moved to another room and that was great. The staff were all fantastic, the pool was beautiful in a great location which felt like you were in the jungle. Breakfast was excellent. Other meals all very good and tasty. »

« Leopard Trails is a fabulous rustic luxury camp in the beautiful Wilpattu Park. This was one of our favorite stays in all of Sri Lanka! The Naturalist guide who took us on safari was attentive, knowledgable, and a genuinely great guy. Back at camp, the rooms were comfortable and the private dining candle lit dinners were magically romantic. I recommend the suite with the plunge pool, it was bliss after a hot and dusty drive on safari. Do not miss the opportunity to visit this special place! »

« Hotel would not honour the rate / amenities booked. At check-in informed they would not provide the amenities (game drive, afternoon tea each day) that were listed in the rate I booked. The manager blamed Expedia. The manger gave in partially and offered 1 x complimentary game drive, but this was not what we booked. Additional big negative. Room was also freezing. Asked for a blanket and told none were available - manager had an extra sheet delivered. We were told to wear more clothes if...

« Incredible surrounding with beautiful service and delicious food! »

« Le style, l'accueil, le calme, la vue, la piscine, tout est agréable »

« This is an unique place to be! Such lovely people, you feel overwhelmed with kindness and hospitallity! And a chance to go to Willpathu N.P. We were there for 2 nights and will never forget our stay with these lovely people! And they make you tradditional food and snacks... An unique experience! »

« L’acceuil est excellent. La chambre est très propre et spacieuse, très bien équipée (moustiquaire, sèche cheveux, climatisation, petit bureau, TV). Le petit déjeuner et le dîner n’etaient pas inclus mais pour un prix dérisoire vous mangerez un repas gargantuesque de spécialités locales. L’hote a été très avenant, allant jusqu’à nous accompagner à l’arret de bus et s’assurer que nous ne nous trompions pas. J’ai passé un super séjour dans cet établissement idéalement situé à Mihintale. Je...

« I had a blast staying here. The night hike was added bonus. Very nice place with good food. »

« Nirosh is an excellent host. Very kind person who arranged us dinner after our king train journey from Colombo to Anuradhapura. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Anuradhapura. Such a beautiful place near to big beautiful lake. »

« This is a primitive camping site. Yes the tent is large and there is an outdoor toilet and shower which is delightful but this is still just a camp site. No other facilities. There is no A/C and it can get quite hot in the tent. We had a wonderful candle lit dinner by the chef who also lit us a fire which was beautiful under the stars. Some holes in the tent need to be fixed due to mosquitos. »

« Nice enough for the price. Very nice pool. Very noisy traffic. Shower and towels were poor. »

« Hôtel bien placé pour safari à Wilpatu, le safari était super avec un guide très attentif et qui a su nous montrer beaucoup d animaux et oiseaux en prenant bien le temps. Une coupure de courant le soir, le personnel a tout fait pour rétablir au plus vite. Le gérant de l hôtel propose ses services de chauffeur pour des prix correct, très arrangeant. »
