Prima verblijf voor Yala
Pros:

Heel vriendelijk personeel en een prima plek om te blijven voordat je naar Yala gaat. De kamer is prima, maar niet heel mooi of netjes.

Cons:

Het zit er vol met muggen, wij konden hierdoor helaas niet buiten zitten omdat het zo erg was.

Wonderful place
Pros:

Little piece of heaven, what the family have done with this space is beautiful. Everyone was so friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay as memorable and easy as possible. We had dinner there, this was some of the best Sri Lankan food we’ve tried.
The room itself is spacious and clean, the AC and fans are perfect - the outside fan also made it comfortable to sit outside during the evening and listen to nature. If you don’t want to eat in, there are lots of different spots nearby and near the lake.

Cons:

Nothing :)

Pros:

La dueña fue un encanto, súper atenta en todo momento, nos recibió con dos zumos buenísimos, nos preparó un desayuno riquísimo, su amabilidad en todo momento fue espectacular. Hicimos el safari con ellos y genial, el trato por su parte y atención en el safari también. Tuvimos mucha suerte, porque vimos al leopardo en Yala, y quizás fue por el gran interés de nuestro conductor. Muchas gracias, repetiríamos sin duda.

Cons:

Nada.

Very nice place with amazing hosts.
Pros:

Very nice place with amazing hosts.
We stayed there after a safari in Yala Park and were able to relax very well on the beautiful terrace in front of the room with a wonderful garden in front of it.
The hosts were really great. They welcomed us warmly and cordially, prepared tea and snacks for the children and a wonderful and delicious dinner. They showed real concern and empathy for the condition of my wife, who has difficulty walking, and sent us off with a box of homemade cakes.
We would be happy to come back again!
