"Incredibly nice room, super-friendly hosts, delicious food. "

"We loved our stay at Elephants Rest, it was so peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The meals were freshly cooked and excellent. They also arranged the safari for us, which was excellent. Thank you 😊 "

"Great staff and they were very helpful. The hotel is located near the national park which was very convenient. "

"An easy, relaxing base before and after our safari."

"Did send an email to expedia, saying we did not stay, because of unhygenic rooms and facilities not working. "

"The manager, Nandu, was really helpful in setting up morning safari for us on short notice after our previous accommodation fell through. The breakfast and dinner were hearty and super affordable. It’s not exactly 5 or even 3 star accommodation (AC leaked onto the bed and the bathroom had some flies), but for value for the money it’s a good pick. We saw tons of elephants on safari."

"The whole experience was fabulous from the accomodation to the food, cooking classes and safari as well as a personal tour from Janice the owner. As a solo traveller I was well and truly spoilt. I would highly recommend Amba Cola to anyone looking to stay in this area. "

"Amazing grounds"

"Une situation géographique exceptionnelle au calme dans la nature luxuriante. L’appartement de luxe est grand, très propre et dispose d’une superbe vue. Le complexe dispose d’une piscine, ce qui est très appréciable après un safari dans le parc national. Petit déjeuner et dîner succulents. La personne qui nous a accueillis était vraiment très aimable, souriante, accueillante. Nous recommandons vivement le Jungle Paradise."

"I can’t recommend this place enough! Great communication with Eric all the way through, we came a bit late, and before we could order our meals over email and it was ready. Great WiFi! Evening watching fireflies in the dark. The food both breakfast and dinner was delicious. Eric also helped book our safari trip witch was terrific!"

"Very clean room.Lovely pool. The hotel is out of the way near the river. We loved the tranquil setting. Apart from our safari trip (which was arranged by the owner) we didn’t leave the hotel, which suited us because the food provided at the hotel is delicious. The only negative thing I would say is they could do with upgrading the recliners by the pool. "

"The welcome at the Sihilro Regency is second to none. We felt almost like family. The home cooked food offered is really fantastic, exceeding the standard in most of the hotels we stayed in. Arriving over the new year weekend, we were slightly concerned that onward travel would be difficult but they helped us find a taxi at a very reasonable price. We also used their in house Safari and the driver / guide was brilliant. Highly recommended."

"Fremragende sted, en lille perle i høj klasse og fantastisk personale."

"Reservamos con pocos días de antelación ya que decidimos cambiar nuestro itinerario. El hotel fue un gran descubrimiento. Muy buen servicio, con una atención de 10. Habitaciones senzillas pero comodas, todo lo que puedes pedir por el precio. Sin duda repetiria"
