    The reception provided amazing tips, like where to find the best peacock feathers for my hat. They even arranged a bike for me to ride around the garden, pretending I was in Tour de France. And the free WiFi was perfect for posting posh selfies.

    Oh, just the paid airport shuttle service. I mean, who wants to arrive in style when you can pay extra for a cramped van?

    The experience at this guest house was absolutely mind-blowing! The location, surrounded by coconut trees and a river, provided a jaw-dropping natural atmosphere. The owner and staff were super helpful and enjoyed engaging in conversations. Suji, our safari guide, organized an adventure that left us in awe. His excellent driving skills and extensive knowledge of the animals made the full day at the park unforgettable. The rooms were stylish, clean, and had both air conditioning and outdoor seating facing the breathtaking jungle. The food served, from breakfast to dinner, was amazing and served in a relaxed setting. Free wi-fi, free parking, 24-hour reception, and 24-hour security were also available. The peacefulness of this accommodation made it the perfect place to switch off and relax. Our two-night stay was so satisfying that we wished we could have stayed longer. The pleasant surprise of the fast Wi-Fi was the cherry on top!

    This family-run guest house offers an amazing location with a view of the lake, allowing you to be in direct touch with nature. The owner prepares delicious homemade Sri Lankan meals, and you can spot animals like peacocks, lizards, and squirrels. Bicycles are available for exploring the beautiful surroundings, and the Elephants Transit Home and Udawalawe National Park are nearby for fantastic wildlife experiences.

    Felt completely relaxed, no complaints whatsoever.

    We had the most amazing experience at Peacock Riverside! The property's beautiful design and spacious rooms made us feel at one with nature. We even had monkeys right outside our door! Sujee, our host, was extremely friendly and helpful. He arranged a fantastic safari for us with his brother as the driver. The Sri Lankan food served here was absolutely delicious. we highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay.

    The rooms at Peacock Riverside are absolutely amazing! I loved the private balcony with the breathtaking river view. The hot tub in the private bathroom was a luxurious touch. And some rooms even had a cozy seating area, perfect for lounging and enjoying the view. As a karaoke and casino enthusiast, this place ticked all the boxes!

    If I had to pick one thing I liked less, it would be the private entrance. It's just my subjective opinion, but I prefer entering through a more communal area.

    We got great value for our money at Peacock Riverside. The room was huge, clean, and had a lovely terrace with a river view. The location was perfect, surrounded by tropical greenery and away from the hustle and bustle. The staff treated us like family and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.

    The breakfast option could have been better, but it was still good overall.

    The receptionist gave me such insightful tips on the area. The hotel had a beautiful garden and free parking. They even had free WiFi and offered a paid airport shuttle service. The nearest airport was oh-so-conveniently located. Wow, I feel so privileged!

    What could possibly go wrong in such a perfect place? Absolutely nothing.

    We had a wonderful romantic getaway at a hotel in Udawalawe. The room was beautifully decorated, with a comfortable bed and a lovely private terrace by the river. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and being surrounded by nature. The location was perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Additionally, the owner and his family were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    One drawback of the hotel was its remote location. There weren't many amenities nearby, which meant that we had to rely on the hotel for most of our needs.

    We had a truly exceptional stay at a hidden gem in Sri Lanka. The room was massive with a bed that was beyond comfortable. The highlight of our stay was the amazing lady running the homestay, who cooked us the most perfect dinner. We also saved money by organizing our safari tour through them and it was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend this place for its incredible rooms, delicious food, and affordable safari options. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a memorable stay.

    I recently stayed at Peacock Riverside for a few days and had a fantastic experience. Our safari driver was knowledgeable and took us to spots where we could see a variety of animals up close. The room was spacious, clean, and had a beautiful view of the river. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the terrace seating overlooking the river was a lovely touch. it was a memorable and enjoyable stay.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    The room at Peacock Riverside was absolutely amazing! It had a beautiful balcony with a stunning view of the river. I loved how cozy and comfortable the seating area in the room was. It felt like a home away from home.

    Personally, I didn't really enjoy the hot tub in the private bathroom. It just wasn't my thing.
