I stayed there twice in a week on a 3 day trip around the area. I loved the tents which was a big surprise to myself as I thought the worse . Nope, huge interiors, clean lines, mini fridge, usb charging , super outdoor shower, satellite tv,... wow for a 5000 rupees including a super breakfast buffet. The staff were so kind and helpful all the way. Now my favourite place in this region and I will return

The hospitality is very last. When we go to the hotel, the staff asks us if we go on safari before we go to the room. We will give less. Kate finishes in about half an hour. These guys are making money in a very fraudulent way, so we'm all told not to go to this place and the food is not tasty at all.

Very nice place to stay if you’re planning to do a safari! They have their own drivers and jeeps, the organization is no problem at all. We stayed in a tent with river view and I would anyways recommend that! It wasn’t luxurious or something like that, it was rather a jungle experience. When we sat at our balcony we could always watch the monkeys jumping from tree to tree and were even able to interact with them while feeding them bananas. The pools are clean and after a safari in the morning, you can easily spend the rest of the day relaxing there. The restaurant is also very delicious and the staff is soooo friendly!!

So far the accommodation seems to be great value for the price you are paying. Don't expect golden bathtubs, but the deluxe rooms are nice and spacious, with a comfy bed. It isn't perfect, but like I said good value for your money. Lasantha whom works in the restaurant is a great help and very nice. The breakfast is also very nice and the pools are a great temperature.

A lovely place, excellent value for money. The staff is outstandingly friendly and attentive. We stayed in a tent, which was spacious and clean despite the very attractive price. The swimming pool is so refreshing and the restaurant is amazing. We got a romantic table outside the restaurant with candle light, flowers and pure romance. The waiter was an absolutle sweetheart. We loved it!

Had the most fantastic time in the luxury bungalow. With 8months old and a 4years old. Really clean and great swimming pool. The staff is amazing, friendly, lovely with kids.the buffet is great for kids too and flexible dishes if necessary for kids. We stayed 7days (which nobody does as people are just stopping by for the safari only) and had just enough time to chill and do the local attractions: elephant orphanage, the safari, the temple, and the day visit to Ella... And the fauna is amazing in this place full of interesting things and noises for kids ... best time ever. Highly recommended!

We had a great experience here! We stayed in the basic tents but could still use all the other facilities, including 2 amazing pools, which was really nice. They organised an amazing safari for us, would definitely recommend!
