Excellent stay with wonderful hosts who went above and beyond; they even provided a packed breakfast with coffee for our 5AM morning safari and a cooked breakfast when we returned. Dinner was excellent and so plentiful! The rooms were brand-new, spotlessly clean, and had everything you needed, including nice linen. The location is perfect—only 15 minutes from the Katagamuwa entrance to Block 1, which was great as it wasn’t too busy!

It was raining, so there were a lot of bugs at night. The host couple and the staff were very attentive and disinfected the room in advance. We arrived in the evening and had dinner on the spur of the moment. They even set up tables and chairs in the room. The breakfast was very rich, and there was a swing that the children loved. There were four defensive puppies who would guard downstairs and would not hurt anyone. It was safe and friendly.

特別推薦酒店餐食，都是老闆親自準備的。 晚餐的選項不多但足夠，價格也很合理，12美金一人，每人都有前菜沙拉 主食 咖喱 甜品。老闆還特別慷慨送我們每人啤酒，lion啤酒當地產的真的非常香。 來yala一定要選den

The stay was amazing. From the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted by the owners of the property who showed exceptional hospitality. The room was really nice and clean with an amazing view of the surroundings. The food was 10/10 with a selection of both local and international options. The owners helped with arranging a jeep for the safari and were ready to help with any other requests. I would highly recommend staying at the property if you’re going for the Yala Jungle Safari.

An unforgettable stay From the moment we arrived, the owners were so kind and helpful, even organising a full-day safari with an amazing guide where we spotted three leopards and so much more. The rooms were spotless, honestly the cleanest we saw in our whole month in Sri Lanka, and could easily match a high-end hotel in Europe or the US. The location is perfect, right next to the entrance to Yala National Park, so you get peace and nature all around. We even saw a chameleon in the garden! The food was the best of our trip, authentic Sri Lankan dishes, amazing hoppers, and the fluffiest pancakes for breakfast. Generous portions, cooked with care. If you get the chance to stay here, do it. You’ll leave with a full heart, a full stomach, and memories you won’t forget.
