S@fe Landing Lodge

The room was quite dirty and all rooms were unlocked not giving much security to your belongings if you leave for a tour, the food wasn’t very good the rice was very dry and was served everyday not giving much option for if you didn’t like the food, the windows were broken so when it rained the rain water would come in and wet our belongings also allowing bugs and insects to come in, only a thin sheet for a blanket and there was bed bugs

The rooms/toilets could be cleaner.

When I was there extremely windy which made it unpleasant. Don’t expect many things to do if you are not a snorkeller, like me. But that would be true of most of the Yasawas/

The bedding and pillows weren’t very comfortable, and the accommodation could have been cleaner.

Todo fue perfecto

Det er autentisk, og man skal være til det, før det vil være en god oplevelse.

The food is very repetitive (always rice). It’s not mandatory but there’s not another place to eat. The meal plan is 10$ for breakfast, 20$ lunch and 25$ dinner

It’s not a resort but the bathrooms could be a little cleaner

Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. There were very poor conditions throughout the property: the food was bad and there was often very little of it, the staff were unfriendly and incompetent, and the rooms were uncomfortable. The place was also not clean, and there was no hot water. The activities available were extremely weak and not worth it, and if the weather is bad, there is essentially nothing to do. Overall, this was far below expectations and we would not recommend it.

The food could have been better, but it was fine overall. The bathroom of the dorm could have been cleaner.

It’s a shame to leave such a negative review, but I feel it’s important to share our experience so others know what to expect.

The biggest issue was the behavior of one of the staff members. We witnessed him throwing rocks and coconuts at a calm, harmless dog that was simply wandering around the property. When we asked why he was treating the dog that way, he just laughed. Seeing such blatant animal cruelty was upsetting and completely unacceptable.

The staff also seemed to care far more about money than their guests. There was very little genuine hospitality or human connection. From the moment we arrived, we didn’t feel welcome. In fact, the staff almost seemed disappointed that we had come.

The room itself was very basic and outdated. The foam mattresses were uncomfortable, there was almost no water pressure in the shower, and there wasn’t even a working light in the bathroom.

The food was average at best. Breakfast mainly consisted of cakes and sweet pastries, with very few proper breakfast options.

The activities were okay, but nothing special. The cave tour was definitely not worth the $140 price tag.

La salle de bain n’était pas propre, la douche n’était pas lavée, même après le nettoyage.
Les carreaux des fenêtres étaient cassés, donc le vent passait, ce qui rendait les nuits moins agréables.
Pour les activités, il faut être au minimum 3 pour les faire, ce qui est assez embêtant lorsque l’on est seul ou en couple…
Même si les repas étaient excellents, c’était un peu trop souvent la même assiette, avec du riz tous les jours, et je ne comprends pas pourquoi le prix varie entre le déjeuner et le dîner.
