Lavendish Wild Wilpattu

Great value for money. The staff are very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to see that you have a pleasant stay. The manager of the property took a personal interest to see that things were in order. Looking forward to going there again.

It was an amazing memorable experience and special thanks to Niranjan nilanka ayesh nipuna lahiru sampath kumari and Manager Pradeep who go beyond. The rice and curry is out of this world and so fresh. Such value for money with clean rooms and a homely experience. Cant ask for more. Staff makes the place so welcoming

My family and I had a wonderful two day stay from the 29th to the 31st August 2025 at Lavendish wild Wilpattu.This was our 2nd visit to the hotel during this year.The accommodation was very comfortable and the staff was very friendly and accomodative.The food too was palatable.The manager Mr.Pradeep was also very friendly and accommodative and went the extra mile to make our stay memorable The hotel is also in close proximity to the Wilpattu National wildlife park and thus facilitated us to enjoy a safari. I fully recommend this hotel Andrea

Our stay at Lavendish Wild was deeply disappointing, and we feel compelled to warn others — particularly women — about the experience we had. The male manager’s behaviour was nothing short of disgraceful. He was rude, arrogant, and openly misogynistic. During check-in, he blatantly belittled and spoke down to his female staff in front of us. He refused to acknowledge my female companion, directing all conversation exclusively toward me, simply because I am a man. It was uncomfortable, offensive, and completely unacceptable — especially in this day and age. His entire demeanour was smarmy and unlikable, leaving a very sour impression from the outset. His only redeeming action was helping us charge our electric tuk tuk, but even that came with an attempt to overcharge us — demanding double what other hotels had previously charged — and only backing down when we refused. The hotel itself is in poor condition. With serious maintenance and a complete cultural shift in leadership, it could be something special, but right now it falls well short. The atmosphere is strange and uninviting, adding to the overall discomfort of our stay. Breakfast was average at best. The only positive aspect was the kindness and professionalism of the other staff, especially Mairnika, who looked after our room with care and grace — despite clearly working under difficult and discouraging conditions. We would strongly advise against staying here. There are far better options closer to the Wilpattu park entrance, and none of them (we hope) tolerate the kind of backward, disrespectful behaviour we witnessed here.

It was a home away from home filled with hospitality from reception till the check out. Very attentive staff specially manager mr. Pradeep and Batti. Spacious rooms with all amnities.Very quiet place with tranquility. Customized delicious food. Close proximity to wilpattu national park and sacred city of Anuradhapura is about 20 km away. Prices are very reasonable. It's highly recommended.

Dicht bij het park Wilpattu bevindt zich deze mooie locatie. Heerlijk zwembad en vriendelijk personeel en uitzicht op de rijstvelden. Airco is aanwezig. Ontbijt was goed en avond eten beviel ons ook. 1 nacht verbleven maar prima ervaring.
