We loved staying here. The rooms were large, clean, and very comfortable. The owner organized the safari for us and had prepared a to-go breakfast for us as well. We would come back here and stay for sure!

We stayed here for a few days to go to Yala National Park and Hotel Elephant Eye was a great location for taking a SAFARI Tour. The owner is very friendly and the staff are very hardworking. The property is very well maintained. Room was clean and comfortable. We had breakfast in the restaurant. Easy walk or Tuk tuk to town for restaurants and grocery stores.

Excellent place for a reasonable price. I booked 2 rooms and both were in excellent condition, however i had to request 2 rooms on the ground floor and also a larger bed where the manager quickly arranged for us The staff were super friendly and I would definitely stay here if I visit the region in future

The staff were amazing. Only started one day but they prepared a breakfast box ready at 4:30 am. Facilities look great including the pool (didn't get time to use it though). Easy 500m walk to the clock tower

Hotellet är väldigt fint på både utsida och insida. Nyrenoverat rum med fräscht badrum och den bästa duschen vi haft på Sri Lanka. Sköna sängar och härliga lakan. Alla rum har balkong eller terrass. Otroligt trevlig manager. Vi beställde frukost en morgon som var god. Stor pool som vi använde varje dag. Troligen ett av de bästa hotellen i området! Väldigt prisvärt. Kan verkligen rekommendera!

Vi ankom til et fint hotel, hvor vi blev taget godt imod, vi blev vist op på vores værelse. Værelset var fint og nydeligt, der var en lille altan, med bord og stole, en god og behagelige seng, et pænt bad og et godt toilet. Da vi ankom sprang vi direkte i deres lækre pool, den var varm og behagelig, da solen stod højest Dagen efter sprang vi også i poolen der var den dog ikke så varm, solen var nemlig ikke så meget fremme Ejeren af stedet var meget venlig og meget interesseret i at høre omkring hvor vi kom fra og hvad vi normalt lavede, samt om hvad vores planer var, som var rart Vi stod og ikke kunne finde ud af hvor vi skulle spise, så vi spurgte hotel ejeren dagen før om det var muligt at tilkøbe morgenmad til vores afrejse dag, det var ingen problem og det kostede kun 1000 LKR pr person Alt i alt et meget godt ophold vi havde på deres hotel

Trevligt hotell med familjekänsla

Trevligt mindre hotell med familjekänsla dock något slitet. Personalen var väldigt trevliga och serviceminded. Middagen vi beställde var fantastisk. Frukosten var också bra. Kan rekommendera detta hotell.
