Stayed there a couple weeks back Positives - spotless amazing bedroom with all the facilities - amazing friendly host who gave us Cocunut water on arrival as promised in other reviews - GET THE FOOD THERE....it was a feast and was absolutely delicious great value sri lanken food. - great location near the fruit bat trees. - Definitely book the safari with these guys. Asanka was an amazing and caring guide who really seemed to have all the know of where everything was. We saw 28 elephants and two leopards and many more thanks to this guy. 10/10 for the day No negatives. Its not a social place really, but was perfect for us at the time. Just positives for these guys.

Great spot to base yourself for Yala Park. The Cabana has 2 rooms available to book, one on the top floor with a terrace and one on the ground floor. My friend and I each booked one of the rooms which are equal in size and amenities. Very clean and a decent shower, good ac and wifi. The host was incredibly friendly and accommodating. She helped us with booking a Yala Park Tour. Best breakfast! Overall, great price and spot for access to Yala.

The owner was very kind, he even took us nearby with his car to watch some crocodiles. The cleanliness of the room was exceptional. He arranged a morning safari for us, with a good driver who explained a lot of things about the animals.

Everything was perfect. The location is just amazing, next to rice fields and impressive landscape. The family is super nice and welcoming, especially Adi treated us super well! His father is an artist that has decorated all the hotel and that also works the rice fields. They packed us the breakfast early in the morning when we had to leave for the safari, even if we have not arranged it with them. They gave us a delicious welcoming juice and a lot of fresh fruit during our stay. The room was very big, clean and comfortable. There was also place to park our tuktuk in the yard. We spend an extranight there because it was the best homestay we had been to in Sri Lanka! You can also take bikes for free to go and see the fruit bats at dawn. Dinners were delicious and non spicy!!! At last we found non spicy food in Sri Lanka! And everything for an unbeatable price.

Featuring room service, this property also has a restaurant and a children's playground. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

Wow! This guesthouse exceeded all our expectations. From the seamless check-in process to its prime location, everything was top-notch. The safari tour they organized to Yalla Park was the highlight of our trip, allowing us to see the park's main animals up close. The rooms, while simple, were impeccably clean and equipped with everything we needed, including hot showers and air conditioning. The lush green surroundings showcased the care and attention to detail put into beautifying the property. We opted for take-away dinner one evening and found ourselves so comfortable and content that we didn't want to leave. Highly recommend these guys for an unforgettable stay!

    The hotel is located behind the resort. It is away from the traffic of the main road so it's quiet. The hosts were so nice and hospitable. The owners personally came to greet me. When I asked about breakfast options, they said there was no breakfast but they offered a rice-based snack which was very nice and appreciated.

    Wow our host was the best! He was so incredibly helpful. Fixed the aircon right away, helped us with repairs on the tuktuk and brought us cool drinks and coffee exactly when we needed it😁. The rooms are big and comfortable, with a large bed. Nice shower, quiet location. Lastly we booked an amazing safari in the National Park @ the guesthouse. Couldn't be more satisfied with this accommodation!

    Indika is a very charming host and also a great chef. We had dinner twice and enjoyed both times. The room is as shown in online photos with a big comfortable bed. When the restaurant/reception area is completed it will only enhance the experience. Indika organised our Yala Safari, the bus to Colombo and even drove us to the bus stand in his tuk tuk. We wish he and his family all the best for his dream boutique hotel.

    Absolutely amazing hosts - really helpful! We were greeted on arrival by a cold king coconut to drink and a cold washcloth, fresh fruits were brought to us during our stay and we booked a great safari through them. The room is a nice size and clean. The accommodation is really pretty, surrounded by plants, and a great location near some local restaurants and an area where fruit bats live. You can see thousands of them nesting in the trees. Wifi is good and bed is large.

    Shanta was an amazing host. We stayed for 2 nights at his place. Really quiet and peaceful house and surroundings. He helped us with everything. We did the Bundalla safari and went to Kirinda beach. Also Shanta made a delicious meal for us with different kind of curry's and also buffalo curd. We highly recommend to stay at Yaye Guesthouse. We enjoyed every moment of it.
