    The best place we stayed in Sri Lanka. There was a very friendly and kind staff. They gave us everything we needed and more than we expected. The best thing was the Yala safari trip. We were very happy. We saw many animals. Our driver was very good. The jeep was also very comfortable.

    Everything Perfect

    A very good stay. When we arrived at the hotel, we were welcomed very kindly. Very kind staff. Everything was excellent, including the cleanliness of the rooms. We booked a safari from them and it was amazing. The driver is very experienced. He knows all the places where the animals are. We saw many animals, especially leopards. It was a very precious day for us. The next day we got a taxi to Arugambe for a very low price. Thank you for everything.

    A great place to go on safari. We got a safari from them. It was very special. The driver who went with us was very good. He did not follow jeeps like others. He moved in a different direction and we saw all the animals including two leopards. The rooms were also very nice and clean.

    Nothing not to like

    Comfortable place to stay ready for your safari. Hosts really friendly and delicious cold fruit juices. The safari WOW what an incredible experience. We opted for private full day tour and was so worth it. Includes breakfast and a lovely lunch overlooking the beach. The transportation is a new hilux toyota pick up converted perfect for seeing all the animals. Saje was amazing he really goes above and beyond to ensure you get a full experience. We saw everything that we wanted to see including 7 leopards which was amazing luck. My favourite was the elephants they were right next to the truck ... unreal experience

    The staff was extremely friendly, nice and helpful. The food in the restaurant was great. My room was clean, the bed comfortable and the roomate (a little cockroach) tolerated 😅 Keep in mind you are in the jungle. There was also a cute deer in the garden. It is a beautiful serene location. The organized safari to Yala National Park was great, our driver was super nice, respectful to the animals and told us facts about them. Also the breakfast in the middle of the park was amazing. Would totally recommend this place!

    Everything! This property is great and the owners couldn’t help you more. We did the Safari with them which was excellent too. 55 euro per person for a shared safari from 4am to 12pm which is half a day. We felt we didn’t want more than that and were very happy. Unfortunately no leopard but we did see a sloth bear and lots of other animals. If you come in hot season book an air conditioned room so you will be comfortable. The hot showers were nice too. We booked breakfast and the owners even gave us some food later in the day in lieu of breakfast on the day of the Safari as the Safari includes food. They will also pick you up from the bus stop and drop you off too. Great place to stay!

    A very quiet environment. The staff of the hotel was very good. The rooms were very clean. We got a very amazing safari from them. On the way, two people boarded the bus and they told us many things about the safari. They also announced their prices to us. After that we gave them a number and got off the bus. We did not book a safari from them. But a couple who came with us on the bus had gone on safari with them. We met them today. They are not impressed with their safari. They came back in a very short time but they told us that no justice has been done to them for the money taken. It was not the safari driver who boarded the bus. They keep some commission and give safaris to jeep drivers and are only middlemen. Don't get caught by such people. If you want to go on safari, trust the hotel like us.

    We stopped here for one night. We think it was the best decision we ever made. They had a very good team. Everything we needed was here. We booked a safari tour and it was very good from them. We saw every animal. After the safari, we took a taxi for a very low price. Their driver took us very carefully and everything was fine.

    Because you are immersed in nature, just expect bugs and lizards Bit out of the way if you don’t have a vehicle(we already rented a Tuktuk then so this may be a concern for those who don’t have transport sorted)

    Value for money Food was exceptional The hospitality was unmatched - welcomed us with open arms and gave us fresh coconuts from their tree Great experience sleeping in the tree house Mosquito net provided (there were some bugs to fend off first - just to let the faint of heart know in advance and what to expect) Fans were useful Loads of parking space Amazing view of the rock Owner Provided loads of helpful info

    We booked the day before and a morning safari was very easily arranged for a very good price. The driver was very experienced and we were lucky to see a leopard. The seating area of the house itself was very spacious with deer in the backyard. Great value for price and great customer service.
