Schone huisjes, met koude koelkast, goede airco, Max en familie zijn prettige personen in de communicatie en verzorging… Eten was lekker, heerlijk coconut pancakes, safari vanaf de voordeur, superscherp geprijsd!
Bedden zijn redelijk hard (maar dat is persoonlijk), badkamer geen airco, redelijk wat muggen en open ruimte (gescheiden door “3/4” muur) met de buren (nu geen probleem, waren onze kinderen).

Max and his family are the kindest people and they do the best local food! The rooms are clean, comfortable, there is everything you need. Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to go on a safari trip with Max as we already had booked someone else but next time we will for sure book again Maxs place with the safari!
Everything was great!

Max was really welcoming, he sorted out our Safari tour for us when we arrived meaning we didn't have to plan anything! And even managed to get some other guests on the same tour to make it cheaper for us. We had a great time on the Safari tour. The rooms are nice, clean and spacious with a private bathroom, AC and a kettle for Tea/Coffee (Might be needed for the early wake up for Safari!). Thank you Max!

Wir haben hier zwei Nächte mit unseren beiden Kleinkindern übernachtet. Im Gegensatz zu den Unterkünften davor, entsprachen die Fotos auch der Realität. Es war alles sehr sauber, ordentlich, nichts kaputt und ansprechend dekoriert. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Wir haben bei Max auch die Safari gebucht. Es hat alles unkompliziert geklappt und wir hatten einen schönen Nachmittag mit vielen tollen Tieren. Das Frühstück und Abendessen waren sehr lecker und vielseitig. Wir können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt empfehlen :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Max Safari Villa. Max’s mother made a delicious dinner for us. We did have to buy our beer ourselves but that wasn’t really a problem. Safari’s are also arranged bij Max as well as a taxi or tuk tuk.

Very cozy cabin with air conditioning, comfortable bed, very good mosquito net, hot water in the shower. The breakfast included in the price of accomodation was really tasty, fresh juice, fruit, toast, omelette, pancakes.
Max - the owner is a real mną od business, you can contact him in advance to book the safari - in the afternoon or in the morning. He is flexible and very helpful.
I recommend to eat dinner also at Max Villa, cooked by the owner's mother - delicious!!!!
After the safari Max helped us with the transport- gave a ride to the bus station and checked the timetable for us to be sure that we continue our travel safely.
Everything was cool

Max Safari Villa was nice and cozy place to stay in Udawalawe. Location is good, near of national park and baby elephants home. There are different safari options available. It was worth it to see many different animals.
Breakfast and dinner was also really good.
The hotel’s safari tour guy did not speak much english.
The owner sort of made us buy a ride to our next destination from him by ”knowing” the available drivers. Because of this we felt that the possibility for price tendering was made difficult in the small town of Udawalawe.

Max’s Safari Villa was exceptional. The guesthouse is fabulous-clean, comfortable and very welcoming. Max will organise the best safari-his drivers are so skilled and knowledgeable and work hard to give you a unique experience. Our safari was a highlight of our trip!! And on top of all this the food that Max’s mum prepares is so delicious. Look no further -this is the best place to stay!

5.0 / 5.0
The room had everything we needed. It was very clean and spacious. I do not think the pictures on booking make a justice to a property, as the garden and surroundings of the villas has beautiful atmosphere. However we did not enjoy it that much, as it was raining during our stay most of the time. Safari organized through Max Safari Villa is also amazing and we saw lot of elephants and other animals as well. I do not understand how our driver could spot even the smallest animals to show us. We were very satisfied by this trip. The breakfast was very tasty.

The room and the bathroom were very clean. The villa is very nice and has a lovely patio and garden. The owner is very helpfull and arranged us a taxi to Ella at very short notice. The breakfast was delicious. You can also book a safari directly with them. We highly recommend this place to stay.

What an amazing hotel. Max, the owner, is heartwarming and caring for his guests. The room was clean to the spot, the bathroom was amazingly big and clean too. Now listen to this: we've been in 13 hotels before Max Safari Villa and none of them had the amenities we got here. Each guest gets 2 towels, the shower is separated from the bathroom, there is an extra towel for your feet when you get out of the shower (if you've travelled Sri Lanka you will appreciate this small detail for real!) There is shower gel and shampoo for free. Hot water with good pressure is available.
The bed was comfy, AC working perfectly, a moskito net was in place and each room had an amazing patio outside. The whole design of the room was consistent and you could see and feel that somebody put a lot of thought into an amazing stay for his guests. Oh, and did I mention the mini fridge, electric kettle, tea & coffee and bottled water you got in the room.
Outstanding, truly outstanding. The price for value is incredible and the dinner and breakfast are too. Book here now, all your wishes will be fulfilled here.
Literally nothing.

Max is super friendly, he speaks English well and he organized a private jeep safari tour in Udawalawe Park for us. The driver is very experienced, he knew where to go to find elephants and other animals. We loved the breakfast in the park!
The room is clean, the surroundings very calm. I think it was a good value for money.

Amazing place in a beautiful setting! The rooms are really comfortable, spacious and well furnished. And the home-cooked food was awesome, some of the tastiest food I had on my trip!
Max is super friendly and helpful. There are are nice new safari jeeps here and ready to go, at the same price as elsewhere, so it's very easy to arrange a safari to Udawalawe National Park.

Max Safari Villa is a great place with wonderful people. Max is a very nice host who takes care of guests from the beginning to the end of the stay, and even longer, because he cared about whether we got safely to the next destination by bus. We had a wonderful safari with a very nice guide who was also a jeep driver. The next day Max offered to drive us to the Elephant Transit Home in Udawalawe, where we saw lots of little orphan elephants feeding. At the end of our stay, my little daughter got a wooden elephant from Max as a souvenir (which was so kind) and we were escorted to the bus stop. The hospitality of the hosts of Max Safari Villa far exceeded my expectations. Breakfast and dinner prepared by Max's mum were delicious, everything was fresh and beautifully presented. We had fresh fruit juices and delicious homemade vanilla ice cream. The room and bathroom are very nice and clean and have everything you need: air conditioning, mosquito net, very comfy bed, kettle with coffee and tea, the bathroom has hot water and a hair dryer. The facility is beautifully maintained, well-maintained, surrounded by lush vegetation. We couldn't have found better place to stay and and I whole-heartedly recommend Max Safari Villa. Thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness :-)
