Top Modarawana Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Modarawana

Sooriya Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"A lovely, private, and relaxing hotel—perfect for a peaceful getaway. The staff were excellent, kind, friendly, and always willing to help. Their warm hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing retreat."

The Countryside Udawalawe

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel couldn’t have been better! The room looked onto the pool and was beautiful. The rain couldn’t be helped but it was quite loud against the roof of the room. The Sri Lankan breakfast after my safari was lovely and I also had dinner the night before, however I would say there wasn’t very clear communication of timings or where to go once I checked in but for dinner the guy from the hotel on WhatsApp answered all of my questions."

Mansala Safari House

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place. The people were very accommodating and helpful. Would recommend the private safari the drivers are really good."

Kayaam Wellness

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Kayaam House has been the most fantastic. Everything about this place truly feels magical. From the kindness of the staff, the aeshetic of the place, the sound of the ocean right by the hotel. Everything was just perfect. The attention to details is beyond and I can safely say it has been one of of our best stay as a couple ! The staff helped us to organize everything and was so helpful during our stay. If you're looking for a place to rest, eat the best food and have the most relaxing vacation, you found the perfect place !"

Kalu's Hideaway Udawalawe

10/10 Excellent

"A peaceful nature retreat with incredible fresh food. Our stay at Kalu’s Hideaway was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We loved the wholesome farm-to-table dining—tasting fresh red dragon fruit straight from the garden, sweet pineapples, mangos, and delicious Sri Lankan vegetables. The property itself is surrounded by nature. The butterfly garden was an unexpected treat, and waking up to the tranquil morning sounds of birds overlooking the Udawalawe reserve canopy was magical. You can even spot local wildlife right on the grounds, from vibrant water lilies in the ponds to land monitor lizards wandering past. It was such a serene and relaxing escape!"

Elephant Trail

"Great place to stay. Extremely helpful staff. Facilities were surprisingly good. Handy location to elephant transit and national park. Nice pool. Highly recommend."
