Elegant Lake Yala Safari House

This is not just a room rental it is actually the hole experience. We defenetly didn't expect this. The owner took care of everything (lunch, dinner recommendation, safari organization) and also a private 3h tour around village and exterior of Yala park with his scooter - that was fantastic. The accommodation was superb. With the reason he has a high rated score. I would definitely recommend it.

I loved staying with Randy and his family. His place is next to a beautiful lake full of wildlife and they have a beautiful garden full of birds. The room was big and comfortable and they were really attentive and made me feel like home. Randy showed me around the area and took me to see local crafting processes. He knows a lot about the culture and history of the Tissamaharama and took me to beautiful places. I really recommend staying in their place and taking some time to see the surroundings.

Very nice stay! Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and showed our room which was spacious and super clean. Our host is passionate about bird-watching and his village, and shared his knowledge with us by giving us a tour of the surroundings. Special attention was given to details and making sure we had a comfortable stay. Would defintely recommend!

We spent there only one afternoon, night and morning, but in this time we were taken aback how amazing this place is. It's very small hotel, but it is not disadvantage at all. Because where else OWNER HIMSELF would show you around the place, tell you interesting facts and some stories, we got to see parrot tree, we got to see waking up and flying whole pack of bats on late evening. We got to see parrots, squirrels and (actually it was first bird after arrival which we couldn't see later) oriental pied hornbill. We got to see buffaloes and some cormorants and herons and that was even before any safari. We regret to spend only one night there because there is a lot to see and this place is perfect to observe the nature. But wait, there is more! Owners hospitality is trully amazing. Right before departure to next place, we were offered small gift and amazing small parting meal. We also heard a bit of the owner story how this hotel came to be. Truly moving. I can't recommend this place enough. In my opinion no other hotel we visit, can win with this place. On the attached pictures you see the view from the room. It way better than tv. Highly recommend.

I don't like it that we stayed there only for 24h instead of few days.

We booked this property solely based on the reviews about the hosts and I can confidently say that every single comment was true. Randy and his family were really welcoming. He happily showed us around his village in a tuk tuk. He took us out to buy whatever we needed and it was really convenient. Our baby got sick during the stay and Randy made sure our baby got whatever she needed. He also arranged our safaris and packed us breakfast. The next morning, Randy and his family cooked us the best ever breakfast we have ever had in the whole trip. We genuinely felt sad leaving him and his place. Highly recommend this place and Randy.

This is a really nice and calm place to stay in the middle of beautiful nature and also close to a small town and yala national park. Also, the owners are really nice people. I would definitely recommend to stay here!

Well equipped, big rooms. Super clean and comfy! Also Randy, the host, is a star! He went above and beyond to make our stay even better. He even took us on a tour through the town showing us unique spots. The food was also great! Fantastic experience, I would recommend other travellers to choose this place!

me gustó todo el trato del personal las fiestas la habitación todo es perfecto el mejor de todos

Struttura collocata in buona posizione per fare poi il safari a Yala, ancorché un po' decentrata rispetto al paese (ma vicina al lago che c'è in zona). L'host Randi è stato gentilissimo e super accogliente, offrendoci frutta e succhi all'arrivo, accompagnandoci col suo tuc tuc a Tissamaharama a cena (e venendoci a riprendere), preparandoci la colazione al sacco per il safari (partenza 5.30) e poi facendoci trovare un altro ristoro dopo il safari (ovviamente la camera era rimasta a nostra disposizione fino al ritorno dal safari). Stanza pulita, spaziosa e confortevole. Consigliatissimo.

Niente.

Ha estat una estada excepcional!!! El noi molt atent i ens ha ajudat amb tot el que ha pogut.

Res!
