Traveller reviews
Tom “Incredible hospitality from loverlpeople.”
18 Jan 2025
Janik and the staff set a new bar for hosting that I haven't experienced before. Nothing was too much trouble and they made everything easy for us. We booked a safari through them, an excellent cooking class and transfers. Janik also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip. I can't say enough good things about the level of hospitality we received at Amba Kola.
Hattie “Homely and wonderful”

We had such a wonderful stay at Amba kola! The staff were excellent so attentive and personal❤️The food was out of this world, all homemade by the owner mother, who was so sweet. We had a great night sleep followed by a safari in the morning. I would 100% recommend!
Hannah “The best stay I've ever had”
04 Jan 2025
Everything! Hands down the best stay I've probably ever had to date, let alone just in sri lanka. BOOK IT NOW! You won't have one regret. Our only regret is not staying longer. Janik is the kindest and most considerate host. He is so caring and thoughtful, yet let's you use his space like your home. And that's exactly how it did feel, like home. The room was immaculate. Clean, air con cold and beautifully made up, ready for us, a stunning shower under the stars. The social area had such a homely vibe, we sat drinking beers, reading and playing with the cats (mona ❤️) and dogs for hours. The FOOD! Where do I start. Curry dinner! Pancake breakfast! It was the best food we have had in Sri Lanka, most of it straight from their garden. Janiks mum is a master cook and so sweet and lovely. It's worth staying here just to eat her cooking. The safari we did through Janik was the full 3 hours and reasonably priced, we saw so many elephants, it was so special. And Janiks dad did a transfer for us from our previous accommodation for such a reasonable price (2/3rds cheaper than any other quote). Please book up and support what Janik and his family are creating here. You won't regret it. You will feel so looked after and wholesome after leaving as the whole experience is so unique and special. Not like anything I've ever experienced. Our best stay easily and at such a reasonable rate, Janik doesn't push to make 'easy money' at all he genuienly just wants his guests to have the best experience possible. I want to tell everyone about this place! We wont ever forget it! Book, book, book!
Maximilian “Highly recommended!”
28 Dec 2024
We enjoyed out stay very much. Janik and his Family have a nice house and they were wonderful hosts. The cooking class was phenomenal and Janik organized everything for us (transfers, safari, …). Highly recommended to stay there and support this local family!
Benjamin “Exceptional! A must-visit for Udawalawe!”
27 Dec 2024
The stay was absolutely perfect! I wouldn’t change one thing about this place. We stayed for one night and from start to finish, the service and hospitality was exceptional, we were truly treated like family. The food was cooked fresh to order and absolutely divine, and we were fed until we couldn’t eat any more! The bed was super comfy and all the bathroom facilities were really good. The safari was great too. I don’t often write reviews but this place deserves one! The owner even called to speak to us just before we left to make sure we had a good stay!
Mert “Awesome!”
27 Dec 2024
Jannik and his mother + stuff took care about us like we were family. Food is more than fantastic as the mother cooks everything fresh and with love. I can guarantee you - the food, the Safari, the service, the rooms and everything else is awesome and you will love it. They also care about the dogs and cats in the neighborhood - so be ready to cuddle with that lovely dogs in the Lobby.
Frederik “Amazing service, food and rooms. Probably the best guest house in the area and one of the best in Sri Lanka.”
21 Dec 2024
We came for only one night to go an a safari, but would have loved to stay longer. The staff were extremely welcoming and made sure we never ran out of water or had any unfulfilled wishes. They even cleaned our tuktuk and gave us ayurvedic medicine as my wife had stomach problems. The Sri Lankan food was the best we had during 3 weeks on the island. They also offer cooking classes, but we did not have the time for it. The rooms were super clean with AC and mosquito nets. They organized a safari for us with probably one of the best driverd as he had such sharp eyes, he even spotted the smallest lizards, birds and snakes on the way. Other vehicles drove past those animals, but we stopped and were able to take many photos. In addition, there are four street dogs and a cat which belong to the accomodation and are absolutely lovely. We cuddled a lot with them.

24 Nov 2024
Honestly, the stay at Amba Kola was one highlight of our Sri Lanka vacation. The host is very nice, supportive and welcoming. We very enjoyed the safari trip and a boat trip he organised for us. We participated at the cooking class which was very fun. The food on general was great. The place is beautiful and has great rooms. We would definitely come again and can warmly recommend to stay at Amba Kola

We had a beautiful stay at Amba Kola, a slice of paradise in the Udawalawa jungle. We originally booked for 1 night but as soon as we arrived we were so warmly welcomed and loved the look and feel so much that we extended our stay. Janik and his family were incredible hosts, they treated us like family. Amba Kola is perfectly located on the edge of the National Park, which made it super easy to access safari tours. Tours are available to book onsite with their recommended tour guide, who we found to be so helpful, spoke very good English, and was amazing at spotting all of the wildlife on safari and relaying information. We saw many elephants as well as peacocks, deer, crocodiles, chameleons, iguanas, and so many different species of birdlife. Our room at Amba Kola was very relaxing and comfortable, we really loved the extra touch of an outdoor shower. We had the best food of our whole trip during our stay here, it truly was amazing. Janik’s mother, Mama Swarna, makes beautiful authentic home cooked meals, made from home grown and locally sourced fresh ingredients, and served with love. We have not stoped raving about it yet! Mama Swarna is a top rated cook and also offers traditional cooking classes. Janik, Greshan, and Sanju were so warm and friendly from the moment we arrived. Some of the most generous and happiest people we have met. They went out of their way to show us many of the local sights, and were always checking in on us with a smile to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We loved spending time petting and playing with their lovely dogs and cats, chilling in the beautiful garden, and enjoying a cool beer of an afternoon while playing a game of chess before dinner. We would not change a thing about our stay, every aspect was tastefully thought out and we enjoyed every moment, but the thing that really stood out and made our experience so special was being treated as part of this beautiful family.
