I spent 2 nights at the Mudhouse with a friend and it was great. Very nice and helpful staff and we had the opportunity to have drinks and a guided tour with Tom (one of the owners) which really made us feel like we were part of something. I would suggest you start your stay with a guided tour of... More

Certainly one of the most unique places we have ever stayed and we've been in some funny ones. Apart from being a lovely place, we have never had such helpful and welcoming staff (more like family than staff). We were fascinated by our cookery lesson, especially as we got it to eat for dinner afterwards. I can believe that it... More

The Mudhouse was one of the highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka. The whole expeirence was just amazing, you are totally back to nature with a few luxuries thrown in. Kumar and the staff were absolutley brilliant, nothing was to much effort for them. The landscape around the Mudhouse is just breathtaking, we visited an ancient rock temple and... More

Our driver had to ask directions a couple of times and the track seemed highly unlikely to lead anywhere. We were wondering what we'd let ourselves in for by the time we arrived. We had to transfer to a tuk-tuk to reach our accommodation and our misgivings increased. However, once we got over the surprise of discovering that we were... More

If you are thinking about staying here, the only thing we can offer you that the others haven't already is to book it. You won't regret it whether it's two days to settle in or more to help you explore and photograph the wildlife, you will appreciate that great customer service doesn't always need to be powered by electricity. Say... More

What a way to start a holiday... We arrived at the Mudhouse after a long drive from Colombo. Picking our way down a rutted, narrow track through the trees in our driver's brand new Toyota Prius (poor guy), we met one of the owners, who showed us to our hut. We were in the family hut - a pretty massive,... More

Cons: Unless you are an eco freak who wants to live in the middle of the jungle with animals - don't try. It's not a beautiful fairy tail about you hugging trees. You are living in a cave, with WC on the street. The food is only local and spicy - for european stomach it can be a disaster. No... More

Having been recommended to stay here, this was the first stop on our 18 night honeymoon tour of Sri Lanka. From the moment we were greated on arrival by Tom & Kumar, we couldn't have felt more welcome or had a more relaxing stay. We were treated to great Sri Lankan food, went on gentle bike rides and walks in... More

This was our last of three "stays" before we left Sri Lanka. We had read so much about it, good and not so good and did not know what to expect. We had such an amazing time in our 3 nights, 2 and a half days. We were so well looked after from beginning to end, and it was a... More
