Our hosts were extremely friendly and attentive. We had an issue with the sink in our bathroom and Tiron came to fix it within minutes. We also dined an Mansala House after our safari, the food was fresh and delicious. Tiron also arranged our safari guide who was great.

5 star customer service by this hotel. Tiron informed us before we arrived that there was an issue with the room, so he took the liberty to book us an alternative hotel that turned out to be just as nice as his! Communication was easy with him via WhatsApp, allowing us to easily book a safari the very next morning with a very well spoken and knowledgeable driver/guide. 10/10 would stay again.

Great guesthouse base for Safari
We had a fantastic stay with Tiron and his family, very welcoming and authenticly friendly hosts. Tiron organised 2x safaris over our stay (4 hr PM and 6 hr AM), both of which were really fantastic, we had a private jeep and had amazing experiences with elephants, wild buffalo, crocodiles, deer, mongoose and a load of interesting birds. Tiron was really attentive throughout our stay and always made sure we had bottles of water and was even up with packed lunches for our 5am safari start. We also ate dinner at the house both nights, cooked from scratch by the family - highly recommended!

Amazing stay and wonderful hospitality
We had an amazing stay here. The room was lovely with an outdoor bathroom , a veranda and jungle views with toucans and wildlife in the garden area. The owner and his family were incredibly hospitable, we had juice and lovely cake on arrival, we requested our safari tour and this was organised immediately which we really enjoyed. a fantastic breakfast was served after we returned and then a car organised for our onward destination. Such a lovely experience and would definitely recommend a trip here. i did a lot of research before booking and this paid off.

Beautiful family home
Tiron and his family were wonderful hosts. It was lovely to be welcomed into their home so warmly. We didnt have to think about anything during our stay with them. Food was always freshly prepared and ready for us. Tiron organised our safari tour with Devinda who was an excellent guide and driver who seemed to find us all the animals, stopped and waited to let us watch for several minutes. We were often the only ones around. We loved that he was able to share facts and all types of details about what we saw. Excellent english as well. Tiron also helped arrange our onward travel transfers. He was such a helpful and thoughtful host, thank you so much for your kindness!!

Beautiful Location and Kind Owner
What a beautiful location and home. The air conditioning was on in the room when I got there which felt amazing in the heat and the owner was extremely welcoming, kind, and helpful. He helped me book a safari tour right away and made me feel extremely comfortable. Outdoor rock shower was very cool and the breakfast was yummy. Would definitely come back!

We stayed for two nights with Tiron and his family, who could not have done more to make us feel very well looked after. The house is located in a beautiful, peaceful location and we very much enjoyed the beautiful meals cooked for us. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend
I can’t say enough good things about Tiron and his family who run the Mansala Safari Guest House. They set us up with a great safari guide, and cooked up some delicious traditional Sri Lankan food. This stay is a great value for your money and I would highly recommend if you’re planning on visiting Uduwalawa.
