Yala Southern Homestay

Run by the nicest couple. They made our stay so enjoyable

Very good place to stay, property is full of trees and plants giving the feeling of resort. The place was cool amidst hot weather of yala. Uncle and aunty were very sweet when they took extra care of my daughter to make sure we were comfortable including providing masks for yala safari Pls check with them for booking yala safari jeep, they can surely arrange at better cost. A lot of fruits provided for breakfast are grown there only. Bunny and dog made friends with my daughter quickly.

Maybe something can be done for flies and one large bed and two small beds in that room was little tight.

The hosts were absolutely lovely. They made us feel welcomed, showed us around their garden, and introduced us to their adorable pets. They organized transport for us including hiring a tuk tuk which was great fun to tour independently. The location is idyllic, quiet and cool and a short distance to various sites of interest. We did a very early safari and our host got up early to pack us breakfast and serve hot tea before we got into our transport. The room was small and simple but did what we needed. Great value for the price. Wish we had stayed here longer to experience more of the Sri Lankan way of life in a smaller village.

The room was small but for the cost, the hosts more than make up for that.

The owners are one of the nicest people I’ve met in Sri Lanka! They helped us organise a safari trip very last minute, because our jeep didn’t arrive. We got delicious breakfast that was prepared with respect to our food restrictions. Spacious room with AC. Great outside looking. Good value for money.

The most amazing hosts with a lovely garden! So hospitable who even woke up for our morning safari to cook our breakfast (which was very appreciated as the breakfast on the safari was super late) rooms were comfortable with good aircon and clean. Breakfast post safari was unreal

Nothing- really can't complain for the price!

The homestay is located in a beautiful garden. The room was spacious and clean. The hosts are the nicest people. They organized the safari and the private car to Ella for us. Homecooked breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious and among the best food we had in Sri Lanka. Also we could try the fruit from the garden. Highly recommended!

A very quiet location with clean and fragrant rooms, a beautifully arranged breakfast and some patrons who welcomed us very well. I also wanted to say hello to Bunny, the house's white rabbit who roams freely around the yard.

Hot shower pressure would be the only problem

The people who run the homestay are so lovely and accommodating. They allowed our late arrival from Colombo and greeted us with drinks. The breakfast is traditional and rather too much for us! The owner did her best to please our sons. We also ate here in the evening; a very nice curry banquet. The property is close to shops but very quiet and peaceful. Lovely to wake up to the birds singing. We stayed here as our next stop was Yala which we had already booked. It is possible to organise safaris with the Homestay. We went to Bungala bird sanctuary in a jeep. This was an excellent start to our Sri Lanka holiday. A very helpful driver who spotted so many things. A definite must if you are a bird watcher.

There was nothing we didn’t like. The accommodation is basic but excellent value for money and comfortable.

Very good hospitality and clean place. Very relaxing environment . The owner was very friendly..
