Talawa Hotels

"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."

"Nice view. Very nice staff. Poor dining "

"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...

"Peaceful place, great wildlife on your doorstep. Info on activities was non-existent though, so could be improved"

"Amazing place to stay if you plan to do a Safari in Wilpattu. The tent is very beautiful, the staff is super atentious and you can feel very close to nature. Calm and relaxing stay! I totally recomend it!"

"Fantastic spot to enjoy Wilpattu, great service, great views from room, and you are as close to the park as possible, you can walk around the area and its easy for safari pick up drop off with no extra commute. Perfect place to stay in Wilpattu"

"How can such property be even shown on the website?"

"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...

"Alles tiptop. Gastgeber macht alles für seine Gäste. "

"Very clean, in the middl of the green, great staff and close to the NP. "

"Good hotel"

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

"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. "

"So it turns out this property (Mahoora Tented Safari Camp) is exactly the same as the similarly named 'Big Game Camp'. Don't be fooled by the location on hotels.com map - they are one in the same place. But one costs 9x more than the other one. Yes. 9 times more. You will get picked up at the drop-off point by the same staff in the same car, offered the same welcome refreshments, have the same dinner, and be staying in the same campsite with the same staff and amenities, regardless if you...

"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 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!"
