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 :)

虽然只呆了几个小时,你可以感受到这里主人的热情,早上6点就打包好了早餐让我去Safari的路上吃。房间设施足够用,这个价位很难找到更好的了

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!

Perfect place with the nicest people!
Pros:

Perfect place to stay with the most amazing family running it! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the outside was lush and beautiful, we could get home made meals for breakfast, lunch, even packed for our safari!

Most of all, really thankful for Desika and her husband who even took me to the doctors after an injured leg, so much care beyond just their work, you can stay here with no worries

Cons:

Safari is a little more expensive if you are a small group, but it was great going with uncle who spotted many animals

A wonderful stay with excellent hospitality, delicious meals, and an unforgettable safari experience near Yala National
Pros:

We stayed for two nights at this wonderful hotel, which is conveniently located close to Yala National Park, where we had an amazing safari experience. Our driver was extremely experienced and could spot even the most hidden animals. We were lucky enough to see two leopards and a crocodile hunting. The hotel owner took great care to ensure that our stay was comfortable in every detail. On top of that, we enjoyed delicious, home-cooked meals prepared specially for us. The whole family seems to be dedicated to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We highly recommend visiting this place!
