Amazing place and really nice people. They help with everything you need. The safari tour with them was the best ever. We saw 3 leopards and many elephants

The pool was nice, rooms were clean. We booked a safari with them, not sure if there’s much else to do near here but Yala was cool

這是我在整趟斯里蘭卡旅行中,住過最喜歡的飯店之一。飯店客服訊息回覆即使,整個飯店環境和房間都非常乾淨整潔,還幫我預定了shared safari (對單獨旅行者友善讓我不需要煩惱包車),而且還有提供巴士站接送。下次再拜訪,我一定一定還會再來這裡住♥️

The price quoted for half day safari is not actually 25 dollars, in the small print it says other costs to come which made it 60 dollars in the end. This was for the driver (which without a driver there is no safari surely so surely that should be within the 25 dollars), food which was not asked if you were veggie or not, shower didn't work in the basic room. They did make me a free cup of tea in the morning. Slippery dealings for taxi negotiations also, make sure you know what you are on about.

The accommodation was spacious, clean, and stylish. The food was very delicious, and the staff were helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the safari we booked through the property wasn’t great. We had an uncomfortable situation with an elephant. Our driver drove straight toward the elephant instead of turning around or stopping, even though it’s known that this particular elephant has already attacked vehicles in the past. Luckily, nothing happened to us. The host is now speaking with the dr...

This accommodation is highly recommended! Got some struggles getting there because my taxi driver wouldn’t let me out as discussed. So I called the owner of the hostel for help and he fixed the situation that I could arrive save at the destination. Thankful!

Great stay and the owners were even nice enough to let us shower after we had checked out. Kitchen and staff were all very attentive and served great food. Very close to yala and great for what we needed.

My stay was perfect . The staff were so accommodating and kind, helping me with all of my requests and making my stay the most comfortable. They helped me to get to the bats viewpoint, made me tea when I was sick, and arranged transport to an ATM. Their kindness was what made the stay so incredible. Thank you so much 😊

We really enjoyed our stay here! The staff was super friendly and helped us with anything we needed. They organised our safari for us which was great. Our room was nice and had a fan (although we would’ve preferred air conditioning).

Convienent location for Yala tour. Friendly staff who organised a safari tour for us which was great. Facilities were basic and air conditioning was uneven throughout the room

Overall very friendly host, very well organized safari. Room and Lodge were somewhat worn down/ could need some renovations. Rooms were also not soundproof at all, you hears everything when someone was talking outside. And the food was not very good overall, except for the excellent Banana smoothie.

Stayed here & booked a half day safari through the hostel. Ended up booking another night because the rooms are so comfortable! (Although only some have AC, we asked and got one for a little extra charge). The staff are some of the kindest people ever! They even gave us an incredible deal on a taxi from Yala to Ella.

Charming Villa in the Jungle. Kind Staff - although they didn’t appreciate the need to sleep before getting up for a Safari in the very early morning when they knocked at our door late at night.

Overall very nice place to stay at when planning to go on safari in either national park. The safari was arranged for us by them, that was great. We booked a room without AC and that was maybe a mistake, the room was very very warm even with the fans on.
