Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Dudley Nature Resort is often described as a peaceful sanctuary, surrounded by lush greenery where guests wake up to the sounds of birds and monkeys. The swimming pool is a popular highlight, particularly after visiting Sigiriya, and some guests enjoyed having BBQ dinners featuring chicken, pork, and seafood.

adequate stay overall

fantastic poolconvenient tripspoor foodpoor shower

the pool was fantastic. i spent time relaxing and enjoying the sun. the owner organized all the trips and tuk-tuk rides. this made exploring the area convenient.

i booked bcoz the comments mentioned the owner is a good chef. unfortunately, i didn't get a single meal done by the owner. the food was disappointing. the showers of the bathroom in the tree house are not functioning properly. water pressure of both showers is poor.

The woodland shower has a nice, open design. The pool area has a perfect ambience and design. The owners are super friendly. They always provided quick help.

I did not use other facilities other than my room, so I have no complaints about the hotel, actually.

Really good Sri Lankan Hospitality

cozy roomexcellent teamnice experiencehigh pressure

My room was super clean, cozy, and beautifully designed to match the natural setting. Dudley and his team were really nice too. The Sri Lankan rice and curry was delicious! I also enjoyed the BBQ night by the pool under the stars. It was such a nice experience.

I found the resort a bit expensive for the standard provided. The host kept asking about dinner, BBQ, and activities, which reminded me of a lot of pressure. I think that with less push, the guest experience could be enhanced.
