One of the best places that I have ever stayed in. Villa was absolutely huge. Gorgeous outdoor shower. Lovely veranda for meals complete with a sofa and hammocks. Food superb. Pool area immaculate in beautiful gardens with abundant wildlife. Hosts could not have been more attentive or kind.

The villa was really clean! The staff is amazing!! If you need anything, they are there to help (they live at a house next to the villa). The food, they cooked for us was very tasty and a lot (too much to finish it all)! For breakfast you can either take a Western or a Sri lankan breakfast. If you want to go on a safari, they will organize a trip for you! The pool and the outside area is lovely! There are lots of fruit trees around (mango, banana, coconut) and you will get a taste of the fruits if you like. One of our group had a problem with his phone, so Ranjeed took him to the next phone store and tried solve the problem. Thank you so much! We can definitely recommend staying here!

Saman is a very peaceful and friendly guy! Also he is a very talented artist and craftsman ! He build both of the tree houses and nearly all the other things by himself! He made us very good and rich breakfast. Both of the treehouses are so beautiful, clean and comfortable. We didnt miss anything in the houses. The garden is so nice. His son himanshu informed us about everything in whatsapp. He organized the safari for us and it was amazing. We had good luck to get the good driver Tesanda. He has experience of over 15 years and we where lucky to see leopard, elephant, crocodile and much other animals. We also highly recommend laith the tuktuk driver. A childhood dream came true to sleep in such a nice treehouse. Thank you for the unforgetable time. Tobias & Chiara <3

Excellent, family-run resort with just 4 bungalows in a beautiful garden with a superb swimming pool & solarium area. The bungalow is lovely & spacious with a large bedroom, a huge bathroom and a lovely patio overlooking the pool for you to relax on. The bed was big and super comfy. The shower was good with plenty of hot water. The AC was effective and the WiFi worked well for us. The breakfasts were very tasty and we ate there twice in the evening, both times enjoying some excellent home cooked food. We really loved the quiet out of town location, but a tuk tuk into Tissa' takes less that 10 minutes. The staff were fantastic, so helpful and always with a smile on their faces, especially Niranji and Kumarra. They were also able to arrange a safari to Yala at a reasonable price - we had a great driver and the whole 6 seat jeep to ourselves. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we would certainly recommend staying here.

Gaga Bees Yala offers an outstanding experience with exceptionally attentive staff who go out of their way to accommodate every need. One employee, in particular, stood out for their remarkable hospitality—if we could, we’d rate the stay 15 out of 10! The thoughtfully packed breakfast for our early morning safari was a perfect touch, showcasing their dedication to guest comfort. Absolutely fantastic!

The villa was very big and what I loved the most was the room and bathroom were separated. Hot water shower was also a winner because we had heater issues in 2 hotels which we stayed previously in Kandy and Ella. Rooms were clean and just outside our villa was a big compound where we play with the hotel pet dog - Chase. Amazing little guy, he made our stay very special.

The room had incredible views of the lake. Our room in the upper floor was very independent. It was big and very clean. I was afraid of mosquitoes but there were none inside of the room during our stay. The host (Shehan) was really nice person, and offers a lot of services: taxis, safari, dinner, etc. We booked with him the Yala safari with a nice guide (Chanaka) that did his most to find the leopard. Also we booked some taxis that he helped us to arrange to get to the hotel and get to our next destination with reasonable price. We had dinner there which was good and the breakfast was very very good and big.
