When we arrived they invited us to a snack, and they had dinner ready for us. Sudadh and his family are charming and very attentive. We did a Safari with him and it was amazing, he organized everything and it was a highly recommended experience. Thank you
The light was not working well and was on intermittently all the night.

We had a wonderful stay at Silent Bungalow. The family were so attentive and really went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. From free pick up at the bus station, to tea and treats on arrival, to prompt and delicious dinners and free drop off at the bus station. Lovely family and fantastic hosts. We had an amazing safari with Ayoush, he was super knowledgable about the wildlife in the park and we got so close to elephants. It really was magical.
It was located quite far from the nearest town, but close to the national park which was our main reason for coming. Also it didn’t matter about not being close to restaurants as all the food we had there was delicious and massive portion sizes! The mother is a very talented cook.

This place was so good - is better than photos make it out to be (bigger rooms and area), it’s clean and big, the people are so lovely and go above and beyond. He took us on the most amazing safari and spotted everything whilst driving and then kindly took us to our next location the following day. She made us the most delicious dinner and breakfast. They were both so so lovely. very good fans in room + mosquito nets
nothing, would go back in a heartbeat.

Lovely and quiet place that is full of greenery. The garden has a jungle feel which is amazing. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed probably one of the best Sri Lankan dinners - thank you !!
Ps. Book your safari trip with the host who is knowledgeable and appreciates the nature and it's protection.
Pps. For those that are worried about power cuts - please don't be as there are plenty of solar lights available and power cuts are short.

I was only there for one night but had one of the best meals in Sri Lanka!.. A selection of different curries, it was delicious. The room was large and clean. I was made to feel very welcome and given a massive breakfast after my safari, thanks for having me!

Very nice guest house with great owners. Sudath came to pick us up in Ella and dropped us in Tangalle after our stay. He also organised our safari where we saw lots of elephants. His wife was also very friendly and cooked us amazing breakfast and dinner!
Make sure to bring insect repellent as the dining room is outside. The rooms do have mosquito nets but as you are in the jungle, there are quite a few mosquitos around.

Really good bungalow with comfy bed, it was very clean. I could go on Safari with them and saw so many elephants (including baby elephants) and all kinds of other animals. Dinner was good. Hosts were super nice, brought tea and cookies for free and helped me with the bus connection.
Some insects and lizard in the room, but then it's next to a national park. I don't mind.

Sudath and his family are very kind people, making you feel really comfortable and the stay in the bungalow special.
From the terrace you can see different animals just passing by.
The food is delicious and you should make the safari there as they take the time to explain everything.

Sudath and his wife were excellent hosts and gave us a very warm welcome. We booked a 3 hour evening safari with Sudath and it was one of the best experiences we've ever had! Sudath is an exceptionally experienced guide and is very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, we learnt so much - he knew the park like the back of his hand! We came back to enjoy a delicious home cooked Sri Lanka supper, which was by far one of the best we've eaten during our time here! We had filling breakfast the next morning which was again, absolutely incredible! Sudath kindly gave us a lift to the bus stop the next morning and ensured we got on the correct bus to Ella. Great value for money!

Sudath and his family were amazing hosts. The food was the best we had in Sri Lanka. The safari that Sudath provided and guided was amazing. He has such a depth of experience and knowledge that it enables you see truly unique sights. Sudath’s English is brilliant so he can explain in depth about the diverse environment. We saw lots of elephants and other animals.The rooms are very clean and the showers are electric and have plenty of hot water and a good fan. I would fully recommend everyone to stay here.

super nice Hosts, very welcoming, you could ask them for help at any time. the host organized a very good safari, immediately from the property starting. as a solo Traveller Herr added me to another group, so it would be less expensive. the 4hour safari turned out to be almost 5 hours. super great! plus, the food was great, best curry I had so far in Sri Lanka and great, topical breakfast.

We couldn’t have liked our stay at Silent Bungalow more.
On arrival we were treated to tea on our room’s large terrace, then in the evening had the tastiest meal we’ve had Sri Lanka(we’ve been here 3 months) - all the food is amazing!
The room is very basic but airy, comfortable and spotlessly clean and the terrace is a delight to relax on.
We arranged a 4 hour safari which was very straightforward and our driver was the owners’ son. He was very friendly, knowledgable and amazing at spotting animals. All in all it was a relaxing experience with a huge amount of animals seen.
When we returned we were provided with an enormous breakfast.
The owners were both lovely people - incredibly helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend Silent Bungalow highly enough.

Sudat and his wife are great and very experienced hosts. The morning safari with Sudat was better than expected, he explained every animal very well. The dinner and breakfast cooked by his wife was typical Sri Lankan food and very tasty. We definitely recommend!
All great 🙂

Excellent value for a very good price. It is conveniently near to the Udawalawe National Park. The owner and his family were fantastic and so very friendly. We enjoyed the safari with the owner’s sons who are clearly very passionate about nature and told us a great deal about the animals and plants seen in the park. We had a dinner and a breakfast there and both were absolutely delicious feasts!
4.5 / 5.0
The host was very accommodating and gave us some tips as to what to do in Udawalawe. The property is located relatively close to the Elephant Transit Home (around 10-15 min by walk). We also much enjoyed the safari co-organized by the host, which was cheaper compared to the other options available in Udawalawe. The room was spotless. Delicious breakfasts and lunches!
4.5 / 5.0
Superb safari is arranged by guesthouse, Tea and cake arrived before the trip and breakfast after comeback. During the safari guide spent a planty of time in every location and showed us hided gems. Staff is helpful and communication is easy.
The room decor is ascetic.
5.0 / 5.0
The owners were the kindest people. The Bungalow is set in a beautiful jungle location. Extremely beautiful, the wide variety of birds come along to eat with chipmunks and hens.
The owner organises the safari tour into the elephant park and the guide knows absolutely everything. Other group of tourist gathered around us to listen to his explanation. They packed some lunch for us when we left.
The owner also organised our taxis to other cities. Best service and place ever. Peaceful and kind.
I love absolutely everything.
