10/10 Exceptional

We had a fantastic stay at Lizard Safari Lodge. The rooms are clean and well kept, with a nice big bed, mosquito net and fan. Our room had a balcony which was great to sit out on in the late afternoon. Dinner was delicious on both nights of our stay (as was breakfast) with a good selection of food and very generous portion sizes! Nandu could not have been kinder, taking us on a tour of the village and to a local swimming spot on the afternoon of our arrival, and providing snacks and ice creams. He also organised our safari in Udawalawe with an experienced driver who ensured we had a fantastic and memorable day. All in all a great Lodge, with friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff making it one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

It was not at all like the photos. Under construction and smelled like wet concrete. Expected to walk through a common bathroom to get to our room. Redeeming grace, his brother has a nearby lodge, Ele Camp, also in Udawalawa, where we were given a nice room at same price. A nice situation with pool, grounds and restaurant.

Staff really friendly and helpful, we weren’t expecting 5 star but visit marred by the rat that gnawed through our backpack while in the bedroom and ate some biscuits that were in their. It also ate some of the soap in the bathroom

Great stop over the night before our safari! Delicious BBQ for dinner and packed lunch to take on safari. Room was like a tree house, cosy, clean and nice to hear the wildlife outside whilst we slept!

Hands down, some of the best hospitality in Sri Lanka. Mandu (manager/owner) was accommodating and super kind and helpful. Really, this place is all about hospitality which is why I believe it is an excellent location for anyone looking for a real taste of Sri Lanka. If you want 4 star amenities and are all about hotel luxury, look elsewhere. If you want a great, safe place to stay with a bit of local feel to it, this is for you.

Definitely give this place a shot. The food was homemade, fresh, and incredible (maybe the best we had in all of Sri Lanka.) The staff were friendly and helpful and willing to go out of their way to help make your stay enjoyable. When you take the price into account, this is really an incredible value. We stayed in a downstairs room but we did see that there was an open air accommodation upstairs that provided mosquito nets for sleeping.

The manager, Nandu, was really helpful in setting up morning safari for us on short notice after our previous accommodation fell through. The breakfast and dinner were hearty and super affordable. It’s not exactly 5 or even 3 star accommodation (AC leaked onto the bed and the bathroom had some flies), but for value for the money it’s a good pick. We saw tons of elephants on safari.
