Lavendish Wild Safari

Location and pool was great ? Staff was very helpful ☺️ specialy reception ladyPrice was very reasonable They had limited food selection but everything was really good

The hotel itself needs a renovation.Rooms are old , mattresses are thin and not so comfortable. Bed linens were thin as well and had some stains.Rooms were clean enough but just not spotless The bathroom was also super old and had some stains Looks like COVID times made a huge effect overall Always room to improve

The room was a good size and clean. The pool area is beautiful and it was nice to relax there. The restaurant is reasonably priced, serving good food and the location is very convenient for a safari at Wasgamuwa.

The bathroom door wouldn’t shut and the whole place felt a bit run down.

Great location conveniently placed close to the national park! Very friendly staff! Pool was great with a charming view.

The hotel is worn and needs maintenance. Food was not impressive.

The omelets cooked for order were lovely and the fruit presented was great . Toast overdone poorSome meals were cool on arrival

The bar area was awful , that said it’s Sri Lanka and there are few bars anywhere

Good location for safari in the National Park. Friendly staff, clean room overlooking garden and pool.

I do not know

Food was not nice. Taxi driver's price is unfair, I recommend arranging a ride in advance, the local taxi driver wants double the price. Safari - first we were recommended to go on a safari in the morning, when there is the greatest chance of seeing animals. In the reservation, the guide told us that it is best after lunch, than the hotel recommended the evening. We drove in the morning, we saw neither elephants nor bears nor leopards. I understand this happens but I do not like that the advice varied depending on what time it was and so how many times we could pay again...

Good location for the safari

Our room had mould. Overall the property feels like it’s in need of a renovation.

Very nice and clean hotel. Large room, well equipped bathroom, swimming pool in the garden. Everyone was nice and helpful.

The only problem was with the food. Dinner was pretty much the same both nights and not really tasty. It would have been much better with real local food.

Great location for the safari and wonderful views. Pool was great!

Very basic facilities. A lot of flies at breakfast. Rooms were not very clean.

Good location for safari pick up with external provider. Pool was great, deck chairs and good quality towels provided. Restaurant food was pretty good.

The room was large, clean, and comfortable. It had hangers for clothes and a kettle. The location and view are stunning. Overlooking the lake with lots of birds in the grounds too. We booked a safari through the hotel and were not disappointed. We were 1 of only 2 trucks on the afternoon drive and saw so many elephant and lovely birds.

The dining room is very large and echos. It lacks any atmosphere, and some music would help. Breakfast wasn't given as any options but was OK. Emerging meals also just ok. The hotel could benefit from some outside seating for dining and also some pool loungers with sunshades. Only 2 loungers are provided.

beautiful view, everyone took care of us

toilet could be little bit more clean

Lovely staff and good am facilities. We really enjoyed the safari. Go here if you want to see a lot of birds! And unspoiled wildlife, like elephants.

The food wasn't that enjoyable. It's kinda expensive and the taste was bland. However breakfast and packed lunch were good. The portions are to big.

The staff were super friendly and the rooms were really comfortable. If you want to go on a safari to Wasgamuwa, this is the perfect hotel. They arrange safaris and can pack food for the trip. The view from the pool area is also beautiful!

We greatly enjoyed our couple of nights at Lavendish Wild Safari, from beginning to end! Ahead of time, the staff were able to set us up with a brilliant safari drive to kick off just after we arrived - and it was brilliant, we were lucky enough to be able to linger with a group of elephants that our excellent guide had spotted. Back at base, we really enjoyed the pool, room service, the excellent buffet supper, delicious breakfast, pleasant rooms and very comfortable beds. We also appreciated the help of the staff in confirming a local driver and vehicle for our onward journey.

Great location! Was very relaxing and quiet for a therapeutic getaway(: The customer service from reception was great. They went above and beyond to explain things to us as we were not from the area.

The lunch food wasn’t the best unfortunately. We ordered the thai noodles and fried rice and sadly only ate a few handfuls. More taste is required.

Spacious clean room . Lovely views in a peaceful location.

Safari was amazing. 100% recommend

We had multiple issues with the roomWas not cleaned so had a colony of ants (cake on the floor when we arrived) cockroachsWas not informed that was a party going on pass midnight with really loud musicVery expensive buffet

The location to the national park was good and an easy drive to start your safari.

The lack of wifi in your room, the food options for dinner was below average especially as they did not have any Sri Lankan dishes or curries which you would expect in Sri Lanka. And not just Chinese and Western food options. Lack of other options for food or to stay around the area.

It was in a very quiet location and a short drive from Wasgamuwa Park. The staff were very pleasant.

The hotel could do with a bit of money being spent to spruce it up. Its a little tired looking here and there. In particular the passages tp the rooms, where there were mosquitoes.
