Traveller reviews
Brian “Great spot to do the Wilpatu safari. Great, friendly staff”
20 Apr 2026
beautiful, peaceful. location. Most guests would be there for the safari, as it would not be the place to stay for multiple nights, as there is not much else to do. The staff were delightful and the breakfast was delicious.
Jasmine “Clean, comfortable, a unique property in the jungle and by the river!!”
17 Apr 2026
Great property and Great staff. Thank you Tarique and staff for accommodating our arrival time and providing great meals even though we were late.
Maria Paula “Awesome paradise in Wilpattu”
27 Mar 2026
The location and the whole place is a dream. Rooms are extremely comfortable and food was absolutely delicious. Staff was extremely friendly and we also booked a safari with them. The safari guide was awesome, we even saw a leopard thanks to his determination, and plenty of other animals (elephants, birds, etc). I can’t recommend this place enough
Marjolijn “An amazing stay at the backwaters lodge!”
24 Mar 2026
The backwaters lodge is an amazing place to stay and I would recommend it to everyone. The location is really great, on the side of the river (you can swim!) and really situated within the forest. and ofcourse wilpattu national park is very close. Everything, from the chill areas to the accommodation and the food, is done with so much care and the staff is amazing. They have some small excursions around the place and you can book bigger trips (like the wilpattu safari) there as well. Since it’s a small place they tend to book up, so if there’s availability grab your chance!
