Where do I start? Staying at the Wadula in an exoerience, not just a stay at a hotel! The accommodation is situated in the middle of nature. This is why you're escorted by one of the brothers that own the hotel from the main road because otherwise you'd probably get lost. Think nature, think a jungle-like experience! If you're a nature lover such as myself you will love this place!
The owners, Dulaj and Chamith, are the best hosts you could possibly imagine. Welcoming, all smiles, and extremely helpful. They can arrange a host of things such as transportation, packed lunches and, of course safaris in neighbouring (literally 50 metres away) Yala National Park. The safari, arranged by the brothers, comes highly recommended! We did the full day safari. Very good packed breakfast, yummy lunch and to top it all off we saw elephants and yes, the ever elusive panther! Go for it! Ask Dulaj or Chamith to arrange the safari for you! They know the best guides!
As for the accommodation: you will stay in your own private beautiful bungalow. It has all the amenities such as flatscreen TV, WiFi, aircon, coffee /tea, and in the bathroom apart from shampoo, even conditioner, toothpaste etc etc. Wonderful! Each balcony has a veranda with a gorgeous view over the lake. A perfect place to relax in the evenings!
If you love nature and if you love a quiet peaceful place, look no further and book the Wadula!

Best homestay I’ve stayed in during my 3 months of SE Asia travel. Location was ideal, activities were unbelievable, and the most hospitable hosts imaginable. I will be telling all of my fellow travelers to stay here for a long time to come. Make sure to book their safari. We were lucky enough to have a leopard walk 10ft in front of us and watch a baby elephant and its mom. Although, it still would have been beautiful without seeing any animals.
The host mother made us the best curry spread we will probably ever eat for as long as we live.

I have been to Sri Lanka three or four times, and when I come, I mostly stay in places connected with nature.
Really, this place is very beautiful, and no matter how hot it was, it didn't feel like it inside this room.
Here is a place of amazing beauty combined with a real jungle-like environment.
I highly recommend this place to anyone.
This is the place that provided the best service at the lowest price among the places I have visited in Sri Lanka.
The staff was very close to us and provided good service.
I highly recommend it as the only place that gave the best service for the lowest price.

This place is the definition of a getaway. truly remote. Never thought I'd experience this side of Sri Lanka on this holiday. Very nature based, local food, got to speak to the people in the villages on how they cultivate their crops, went on a very scenic bike ride with friends in the evening with the best views. The RIVER! wow loved every bit of it. We spent around 3 hours here and had a final dip before leaving the next day too. The water flowing over the shoulders felt like a free spa treatment.

Good stay for an early safari tour. We had an excellent tour with lots of fun. Ask for harsha if you want to have a motivated driver with the ultimate goal of seeing a leopard!
Very friendly and helpful staff, good food in the restaurant, rooms were very clean. Perfect location to go on a safari in Yala. The hotel also organised a Safari for us. Prasad was the best guide and was so knowledgeable! He told us all about the wildlife in the park and did everything he could to make sure we get to see a Leopard! It was a great experience in the Lodge and on The safari with Prasad!
Perfect location for the National Park. Very quiet. Great staff and really good food. The lunch provided for our Safari was excellent too. Safari arranged with the staff and couldn’t fault the operation. Our particular lodge was wonderful for watching an early evening monkey exodus and bat display. For the money this is a great choice.
Great stay - so convenient for Yala. The Lodge organised our safari too which was so helpful
Beautiful rooms and brilliant service! We arrived around 6.30pm and ordered dinner to be seated at 7.30 straight away at the reception, so it was super easy sitting down and they bought the food right out to you. Beautiful lodges.
Kind people, nice lodge! Perfect location if you want to do Safari there. Walkable distance to the market and temple.
Very courteous staff. They arranged everything we asked for. We had a comfortable stay with family. The location is accessible for safari too. The lodge arranged our safari as well. It was good.
