Pros:

Super accommodation for anyone looking for an relaxing peaceful stay.
They booked Yala national park for us and packed a lunch for the trip. Host was really friendly and made us his homemade Sri Lankan curry for dinner both nights which was really tasty.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in den Rice Rice Villas. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig und liebevoll geführt. Das gesamte Team war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und hat uns jederzeit sehr willkommen fühlen lassen.

Ein besonderes Highlight war das Essen: Der Gastgeber hat uns ein Gericht nach einem Familienrezept seiner Mutter gekocht. Es war absolut köstlich und das sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen.

Wir haben uns insgesamt sehr wohlgefühlt und waren mit allem sehr zufrieden. Auch für die Safari ist die Lage gut geeignet.

Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft, wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

It is in a stunning location. The individual hut type rooms are spacious and have everything we needed. Everything was very clean. Beds are comfy and air conditioning is good also.

The food is really good. Dinner was super tasty and breakfast was also good.

GEWELDIG
Pros:

De omgeving van deze locatie is werkelijk waar prachtig! Om na een vroege safari bij een zwembad met zo’n uitzicht te mogen liggen is geweldig! De locatie wordt nog beter door de staff die enorm lekker koken en je bij alles willen helpen!

Cons:

De badkamer is wat standaard, maar ik vond dat qua prijs ook geen luxe verwacht kan worden

Great place to stay when visiting Yala National Park
Pros:

The amazing staff, everyone was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
The food! The traditional Sri Lankan meal we had was amazing, it was a huge portion for a very reasonable price.
The pool is lovely with a beautiful view of the rice fields.

Cons:

The rooms require a bit of TLC, our sheets had large holes in them and require some upgrading. Otherwise it was a lovely stay.
