10/10, 5 stars It worths every dollar Everything about this place is Perfect. The owner makes your trip x100 more joyable.. he gave us a bird safar the day before. picked me up from the bus station and dropped me back when i left, waited an hour for the bus with me and made sure im safe. He gives and dont expect back. The jeep and tour guid were perfect.. the tour guide spoke english fluintly and stopped at every animal, we saw the difference with ither guides who did not care and obviously we had a privilage with the jeep and excellent guide. If u want a perfect experience of yala, just go there and u guarantee will!! 10/10 And this guy gigles are the best 🤣

The family that owns the accommodation are the most wonderful people. So kind and helpful in every way and always up for a chat. The rooms are lovely and spacious with mosquito nets to keep out unwanted visitors. The area the cabanas are in is absolutely stunning with an array of various wildlife including a very friendly resident crocodile that relaxes nearby. The owners brothers is a safari guide and through the accommodation we arranged a tour at a really good price and saw lots of cool animals. Absolute 10/10 experience that was absolutely made by the lovely hosts and their adorable children.

Great location on a big block of land next to a lake that had water buffalo in the afternoon. Nice pool to cool off in, the room was tidy with a/c and fan that worked well. The staff could not do enough for you and the highlight was the prepared meals, delicious food and large serves at a very cheap price. We also did a Yala safari from there which was organised by the manager Dilipa where we saw heaps of wildlife including a leopard and bear. We loved our stay and highly recommended it.

Great renovated guest house with the best host. Lalith makes sure his guests are equipped with everything, cooks amazingly in the evening and is happy to show the surrounding areas. He also organised the Yala safari for me.

Amazing place! Really friendly host who provided King Coconut on arrival, and fresh fruits after returning from the safari. Wonderfully clean, nice food in the evening, and super easy to book the safari through them as well which operated smoothly. The Aircon has already been turned on prior to arrival so the room was lovely and cool after going in. My favourite was that he took the guests on a bird watching tour just before sunset free of charge. It was an amazing experience and I was super grateful!

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.

Everything is very clean and you could see how well they take care of the facilities. We loved the balcony and the dining area with the view on the river. The area is very quiet and we could sleep well in the comfortable bed. The host and her family are just amazing. We also had a very tasty dinner prepared by our hosts. They really do everything to make their guests feel at home - and we did!

I had an extraordinary experience at this Sri Lankan home stay. It’s a spacious and comfortable treehouse facing the lake that offers breathtaking views. It’s a very quiet and authentic environment. The hosting family is fantastic; they cooked typical food for us and they suggested us the best spots for sightseeing. I strongly suggest to spend a night here if you wanna live a unique experience

Wow, such an amazing place. The guesthouse have the best location with the most beautiful view over the rice fields. It’s close to Yala and you can easily walk to the supermarket. The host is so nice and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. The room have everything you need and was really clean. They came with tea many times doing the day which we really enjoyed. We would love to come back another time.
