    I stayed at this lodge for one night and it was a great value for money. The owners were friendly and attentive, and they provided an awesome homemade Sri Lankan dinner. The next morning, we went on a 4-hour safari with one of the owners, Samantha, and saw elephants, buffalos. The location on the lake was beautiful, and we even got to swim in it! The room was clean with air conditioning and a hot shower. an amazing experience. Highly recommend.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The room was spacious and had a beautiful view from the balcony. the owners were friendly and prepared delicious meals for us. We were able to arrange a safari through them, which was convenient. the location was peaceful and located near a lake.

    The hotel was a bit far from the town, but they provided bikes for us to borrow. the room felt a bit cramped with too much furniture and lacked proper ventilation.

    We got great value for our money at Splendid Lake View Safari Lodge. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a large and soft bed. The location was perfect, right by a beautiful lake where we could see fireflies at night. The staff treated us like family and the hostess's cooking was absolutely delicious.

    The breakfast could have been better with more variety.

    We loved the large room with a beautiful view of the lake. the mosquito net and warm shower were great additions. the owner spoke English and even loaned us bikes to ride into town. the quiet location away from the main road made for peaceful nights. the family went above and beyond, cooking us a delicious meal and organizing a fantastic safari tour.

    Felt fine, no complaint.

    We had the most amazing safari experience at Splendid Lake View Safari Lodge. The guide had an incredible talent for spotting the tiniest animals during our drive. The lodge owners were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, especially when we had stomach trouble and they cooked us a delicious carrot soup. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with refreshing air conditioning. The lodge's location near the lake provided a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend this lodge for an unforgettable safari adventure.

    I had a blast at this lodge! The staff was helpful, the food was delicious, and the activities were so much fun. I even caught a fish! Definitely recommend.

    I was so disappointed that I couldn't find any faults or complaints. How boring!

    The food at the hotel was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. the staff was friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests. the location of the hotel was perfect, situated near a beautiful lake surrounded by lush greenery. It provided a peaceful and serene environment, ideal for a relaxing getaway.

    The hotel was quite difficult to find, causing some frustration and wasting time. there were limited dining options in the vicinity, so guests were restricted to eating at the hotel.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The property was very clean and spacious, and it had a lovely balcony overlooking a beautiful lake. The hotel was conveniently located right next to the safari park, making it easy for us to go on safari. Additionally, the hotel had a seating area by the lake where we could relax and enjoy the stunning view. The staff were extremely friendly and professional, and they went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They even organized a safari for us at a cheaper price than the national park. The food at the hotel was amazing, with generous portions and catering for vegetarian options. We highly recommend booking a stay here!

    Nothing, it was perfect.
