Lovely host family. Upon arrival they were quick to offer us tea and biscuits, setting up a table outside our room. We had a lovely discussion with them in the evening, and they gave us mangos and bananas from their tree :)

The room was spacious, with high ceilings and big comfortable queen-sized beds. Everything was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. Great value for the price! You can also ask to store your food in the fridge if needed. But what really made our stay special was the amazing hospitality. We arrived a bit late and the owner was very kind to drive us to a nearby restaurant that was still open. He also helped us find a driver to another city late at night and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay.

Great stay for short time near Yala park - even elephants came close to the hotel. Not a bad restaurant, but the menu is small. Can offer a driver-guide who will show you all the animals

The host family is very nice. The young daughter speak a very good english and looks eager to train it and talk about their culture and traditions). The food I had was really good and they also greeted me with a fresh welcome juice. They let me help and Watch the dinner making and it was very pleasant. The rooms are big, very clean and Probably recently renewed (the a/c system seemed pretty new). The area is out of the city centre, but it is ist to get there in 20 minutes by walk.

I loved the authenticity of the place and the people here. Chilled backpacker vibes. Roberto is a great host ensuring a very warm welcome to guests offering tea etc . Loved the rustic architecture , very much in tune to surrounding Nature complimented with the animals on site. Lodge is set by the river so you can go for a dip and cool down. And ample space for you to relax, read and do yoga.

Very quiet place, hosts were really kind. dinner at the restaurant was tasty. We had full day Safari at Yala National Park and it was beautiful. Our driver Roschanne during the Safari was great, I highly recommend him 10/10. We also spotted a leopard at 5 pm. Roschanne was so nice with us.
