Cons:

I stayed here for two nights. The room was clean, which I appreciated. However, the balcony room I booked did not have a private balcony as advertised, only access to a corridor.

Unfortunately, my experience with the owner was disappointing. Communication was poor, especially when I arrived late at night, and I found his behavior rude and unwelcoming. On the second night, he disturbed me around 11 PM and spoke aggressively, even though I had already paid for my stay. I also felt that my privacy was not respected.

The property is quiet, but guests should be aware of strict rules regarding being outside or making phone calls after 11 PM. The breakfast was very basic, consisting of a banana, two slices of bread, butter, and jam.

Overall, while the room was clean, I would not recommend this property due to the owner's attitude and the overall guest experience.

Pros:

Vi bodde her en natt for å dra på safari i Yala nasjonalpark. Rommene var rene, de hadde velfungerende aircondition og personalet var veldig hyggelige. Anbefaler å booke safari med de som leier ut rommet, vi hadde en så fin opplevelse!

Nice clean room. Although I did not take safari tour with the host they were kind enough to agree for late checkout and breakfast after I arrived from other company tour at noon.

Pros:

We loved everything! The room was specious, clean and comfortable with AC. The biggest advantage of this place was safari organised by the host Janeka, who took us 2 times to Yala NP. Our experience was out of this world! We saw 6 leopards and 2 encounters were very special because we spent such a long time with it without a single car around us. He is an amazing guide, very respectful for the wild life and we felt extremely safe even driving on crazy roads. We will never forget those days. The included breakfast was excellent made takeaway for safari. The whole family was helpful and welcoming. There is also a lovely restaurant right in front of the homestay. If you want a beautiful place to stay with unforgettable safari experience this is for you!
We will be back. Thank you Yaneka and family!!

Cons:

Everything was just perfect
