    The venue is fairly clean, with peaceful location close enough to the jungle and Sri Lanka. The staff is very amiable as well as hotel's owner. Large breakfast with a savoury food is available. Thanks for a really good stay, totally recommend

    As women traveling alone, we felt safe and welcomed by the friendly family who made us feel like part of their own. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the food prepared for us was delicious. They even organized a fantastic safari for us, which made our stay even more memorable.

    Felt like a true getaway, no complaints.

    My stay at Silent River Cottage was exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the owner and his family with a refreshing drink. The cottages were beautiful, clean, and equipped with all the necessary amenities like A/C and hot water showers. The owner went above and beyond, offering complimentary tuktuk rides to explore the nearby village and local attractions. One highlight of my stay was the unforgettable elephant safari in Udawalawe National Park, which the owner organized for me with a knowledgeable guide. The meals prepared by the owner's wife were delicious and authentic, showcasing the best of Sri Lankan cuisine. The family's warm and welcoming atmosphere made saying goodbye difficult, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit to this lovely accommodation.

    A charming family-run place with a picturesque garden. The food was delectable, especially the home-cooked meals, and the hospitality was top-notch. Great experience overall, would definitely return!

    Absolutely terrible. I couldn't find a single mosquito to swat!

    We got great value for our money at Silent River Cottage. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed, including air conditioning and wifi. The location was perfect for our safari experience, with a serene river nearby. The staff treated us like family, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and even organizing our safari and transfer to our next destination.

    Breakfast delights could have been more portion controlled to avoid food waste.

    I recently stayed at Silent River Cottage for a few days and had a fantastic time. The hotel is new and modern with excellent facilities. The rooms are beautifully furnished and equipped with AC and a gorgeous bathroom featuring a double rain shower and double hand-held shower. The host family is incredibly friendly and always available to fulfill any request. The food at the hotel was absolutely incredible, some of the best meals I've ever had in Sri Lanka. The location near the river provided a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. a cozy and safe place to stay with great hospitality.

    Can recommend this hotel.

    The rooms were clean and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and hot water showers. the location was convenient for visiting nearby attractions, such as the elephant rescue center and the national park. - the hosts were friendly and helpful, organizing trips and providing transportation to various places.

    There were too many flies around the dining area, making it difficult to enjoy meals. There were no other food options or shops within walking or tuk-tuk distance, limiting food choices.

    had a truly memorable stay in udawalawe, but silent river cottage took it to another level. from the early morning safari to the delicious meals and warm hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. the serene river and the care shown by the host family made it a perfect retreat. highly recommended!

    Flies during lunch were a nuisance.
