I truly recommend House of Freedom. It is a perfect place if you want to experience the local culture and see how the locals live. I've spent 24 hours with Isuru. We had a trip around Bundala, a motor night safari and morning birds watching. Additionally lunch in his family house and evening barbecue. The house and room are humble, but everything is clean and the hospitality is amazing. The sourounding is breathtaking. No tourists around. It was an unfargetable experience!

The hotel manager Sri was really nice and made several times sure we were taken care of fully. Diner and breakfast were also really good. Our cook was flexible and wanted to know if we'd like to change anything to the dishes. All in all a very quiet and wonderful location Thanks to Sri and the staff!

Chamin, his wife and his sister are welcoming and personable hosts, sharing their beautiful property that overlooks a wildlife-filled lagoon. The day we arrived Chamin and his wife were making their way back from Colombo however he graciously arranged for his sister to cook us a meal last minute and organised a safari tour of Bundala National Park for the following day. Chamin is a local, born and raised for a few generations, he loves and respects wildlife and is an avid photography, so he was our tourguide of the park, sharing his knowledge of the area and the many species in Bundala. We were fortunate enough to get upclose views of elephants, crocodiles, deer, monkeys and many species of birds such as bee easters, ibis, pelicans, osprey, eagles and many more. We chose Bundala NP to explore because it is smaller and there are less jeeps, however the wildlife and nature there is just as incredible as the bigger parks in our opinion. The room itself was spacious enough for four adults and had two balconies that were perfect for bird/animal watching

Our recent three-day stay at Shangri-La Hotel Hambantota in Sri Lanka was simply extraordinary. Despite the 3-hour journey from the airport, arriving at this remarkable hotel made every minute worth it. From the moment we stepped into this expansive paradise, we were met with exceptional service and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The variety of activities and leisure options available were impressive—whether relaxing by the adults-only pool, enjoying the state-of-the-art gym, or simply exploring the expansive grounds, there was never a dull moment. Walking through the beautifully maintained golf course was an absolute delight, as we encountered numerous stunning animals in their natural habitat, adding an enchanting touch to our stay. On our last day, we discovered the Ulpatha Clubhouse, which provided an amazing experience and a fantastic atmosphere to relax and enjoy sports at their finest. Dining at Bojunhala restaurant was a highlight of our experience. Without exaggeration, it offered the best food we had in Sri Lanka—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Special thanks to the outstanding staff who consistently went above and beyond. The manager, Tharindi, was exceptionally attentive, ensuring our stay was perfect in every detail. Our housekeeper, Rohana, provided impeccable service—always efficient, attentive, and friendly. Moreover, the pool bar staff made our relaxing afternoons truly enjoyable. The vastness of the property offers something special for everyone, making it an ideal destination for both adults and families with children. The sense of space and tranquility is unmatched, ensuring comfort and privacy throughout. We highly recommend Shangri-La Hambantota for an unforgettable Sri Lankan experience. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who made our visit exceptional—we can’t wait to return!

We had a fantastic stay. We arrived and were warmly welcomed. Our room was ready and it looked great. We had a room with sea view. We were immediately offered a beer on arrival and in the evening the host prepared fresh fish, shrimps, chips and rice for us. One of the best dishes we've had in Sri Lanka. The accommodation is located directly at sea, so you have a lot of peace here. The host is very helpful and will make your stay comfortable.

This resort was amazing, me and my family loved it. We had a beautiful view of the lake, and saw a wonderful sunset from our tent. The interior of the tent was gorgeous, we loved how cozy it was and it was very neat. Had so much fun here and would love to come again. From New Zealand ❤️😊
