It was really nice place to stay before safari. Room and bathroom are clean and spacious, staff is helpful and friendly. But the most what we liked is safari offered by the host. Dont even look for another offers. Firstly offer from share Safari Lodge. is cheaper and secondly we had absolutely stunning guide! the guide is the most important on safari and we are very grateful for this.

We loved everything at this stay. The host really tries to accommodate every request. My spouse had her birthday, and he helped me organize a surprise safari. The villa is amazing, super well decorated and everything is clean and tidy. You wake up with a view right into the forest. Also always important for me: the bathroom. Great warm shower!

    We just loved our stay at Hasthi Safari Cottage. Dasun is an extraordinarily friendly and lovely host. He helped us to arrange the arrival and departure to the hotel and even drove us to our next stop by himself. The atmosphere within his little paradise is fantastic. Also it's not far from the entrance of the Nationalpark and Dasun arranged a wonderful game drive for us as well. I would definitely recommend everyone to go there.

The rooms are very clean and the safari is organized very well, you will get a super fair price not like other bookings. The food is 10/10 and super fresh. You can also book a cooking lesson.

    Nice and quiet homestay with a great host! Very nice and considerate host, who went out of his way to help us. He even drove us to the bus station on the last day, when we were late for the bus. The food was also nice, and because we had to go to a safari early in the morning he and his wife packed a picnic for us instead of breakfast. There were mosquito covers around the beds
