We arrived at this hotel around 12-13 pm, the room was not ready, we waited for about 20 minutes.. They brought welcome cocktails. The room they gave us was not the one we booked, but oh well.. The air conditioner is noisy on the ground floor.. There is a party near the room.. The area is full of caterpillars.. There is a river nearby, which means the mosquitoes bite like wild ones.. The pool is cold because it is in the thickets. .. Sun beds with ants and water after the rain.. We didn’t see them being cleaned.. The territory is monitored endlessly, the paths are swept.. It’s a bit noisy in the room and the hotel. There was hot water. Breakfast is standard Sri Lankan without any surprises... We took chicken soup at the hotel and only water. The staff is friendly.

The hotel owner’s little baby is so cute. She kept asking me to play with her. When I went to stay here in Yala Park, the jeep driver the hotel found was great👍🏻Awesome👍🏻

The organised afternoon safari was the worst we did in Sri Lanka. We were probably the only jeep from a group of 16 or so NOT to see any leopards that day, always missing them by a few minutes or even seconds every time, while all the other drivers and passengers were taunting us with photos of them crossing the road. Even if you decide to stay in this guesthouse, you should try and find a more experienced company, so that your safari in the best national park of the island is not ruined. We were "upgraded" to a treehouse, which was unfortunately mosquito-infested, creating a small rain of insects on the bed sheets. After much insistance, we were supplied with a net, to minimise the impact. The guesthouse is too far from the town, nothing to do within walking distance. However, the guesthouse is next to a river, in a beautiful and romantic setting.

Me and my partner stayed here for 2 nights for the Yala safari. The hotel has such helpful & friendly staff especially Tharindu & Shara. The rooms are spacious and clean, & the pool is excellent for a midday dip. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend to anyone else who is staying in.

Our well furnished upstairs room was fitted out with a nice balcony providing a view over the pool and a garden which had inviting seating areas.. The river lies just at the base of the hotel garden. Our only problem lay in the lack of hot water for a shower in the morning and problem unlocking the door so a little maintenance perhaps needed. The staff were pleasant and friendly, providing the meals enthusiastically. The hotel serves particularly as a base for trips into the National Park.

We stayed in the hotel for a one night. Bathroom smelled really badly. There were insects in the room including on the bed sheets. When we contacted hotel they came and tried to sweep it away from the room… We also booked safari through the hotel. Agreed price was in usd but I had to pay in LKR. I would not come back again.

A great place to stay - very helpful staff who very kindly made us packed breakfasts to take on two safari trips to Yala and Bundala that started very early in the morning. The rooms are nice and the food in the restaurant is good. We also enjoyed the pool. Overall a great base for visiting the nearby national parks.
