Situated in Tissamaharama, 500 metres from Palatupana Beach, Yala Ying Yang Hostel & Camping features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant. The property is around 17 km from Tissa Wewa, 25 km from Situlpawwa and 32 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary. The accommodation offers karaoke and room service.

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.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We loved Hotel River Front, the staff were so lovely and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Great location and very close to Yala National Park. We booked a full day safari through the hotel which was fantastic and a really great price. They provided us with plenty of tasty food and drinks for the safari and we got to see leopards and lots of other animals. Couldn’t recommend enough!

    The staff here were so friendly and kind. The guy picked me up from the bus station which was very generous. He then took a group of us in the tuk tuk to see the pretty countryside and helped me book a safari tour with pick up from the hostel for a reasonable price. I had a double bed to myself with a mosquito net and slept out in the open next to the river. It was beautiful. It is off the beaten track but walking distance from the main road which holds a street market and shops/ restaurants.
