I stayed at go yala hostel for two nights - a beautiful hostel in front of a lake in the middle of the jungle. The place is calm and just surrounded by nature. I was warmly welcomed with a fresh coconut. Shortly after I arrived I left for night safari - an awesome experience to see wild elephants at night time! After a few hours of sleep i left for safari at 5 o’clock in the morning. Besides many elephants and buffalos we were also really lucky to find a leopard! Thanks to our awesome guide again! During our stay we really enjoyed the tour through garden and were stunned by everything growing and living there. Your only neighbors will be cows and a lot of chicken and birds. I also loved the food prepared for us. I can really recommend this place if you are looking for a very good safari experience and a calm and beautiful place to stay. Thanks for this awesome time Go Yala Hostel! I enjoyed it soo much!

Wonderful hosts — Anton, Vinny, and Aruna truly know how to make you feel at home and maintain a warm, pleasant atmosphere. There’s a cozy bonfire in the evenings and a lovely tea service that makes the experience even more relaxing. The rooms are very neat, spotless, and comfortable. The staff is extremely helpful and always ready to assist. They adapted to our food requirements (dairy free, gluten free, etc) Had a wonderful 2-day stay here. Highly recommended.

The place was amazing and beyond my expectations. They also helped me to arrange my safari; and I have the best time ever!!! The people that work there, the kindest. The private room was really comfy, big and with everything that I need (good and proper own toilet, fan, big bed and a terrace). I also had dinner there and I really enjoyed it.

Can not recommend this place enough! Feels more like a home than a hostel, huge dorm rooms, immaculately clean and smells lovely as you walk in. The owner, Pradeep, was really friendly, humble and caring. He arranged my group safari tour of Yala for a very reasonable price and made us all coffee in the morning before we left for it and breakfast at the park. Very informative and taught me various different things about Sri Lanka. The best shower and sleep I’ve had the entire time I’ve been in the country. Above and beyond on looking after me during my stay would be an understatement. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and for your kindness!
