Lake Front Yala Safari

We enjoyed our stay here. Rooms are clean, new, bed was very comfortable and bathroom spacious and clean. The hotel is 5/10 min walking from the sanctuaries. The family took care of us in every detail, we went on a safary with them and we recommended it!! We manage to see a mama leopard with three calves, elefant and enjoyed the calm of the park. They also organised the taxi for our next stop. We definitely recommend the place!!!

Our stay was amazing from start to end. Welcoming and friendly family, clean and comfortable room, and very delicious food. We had an amazing full day safari with the owner who was great at spotting all the animals!

Es war alles da, was man benötigt, das Zimmer war sehr groß und sauber. Der Besitzer hat uns dann sogar noch nach Hiritiketiya gebracht. Ich würde auch die Safari empfehlen, wir haben sie leider über einen anderen Anbieter gemacht und waren fast 1,5 Stunden früher zurück als unser Hotelbesitzer mit seiner Gruppe - hat uns im Nachhinein sehr geärgert weil andere Gäste sehr geschwärmt haben von der Safari mit ihm.

Everything absolutely perfect !

Lovely clean spacious rooms, lovely hosts, they organised our safari. Nice outside verandah to have breakfast. Close to Tamarind Lake hotel where you can get a day pass to use the pool and get good, well priced lunch.

No swimming pool. Not much to do around the area if you have a spare day. Very noisy in the early morning so if you like to sleep in, forget it!

A beautiful stay at Lake View! The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for nature lovers. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the entire place was clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly and welcoming—highly recommend

The room was very clean and comfortable. The air conditioning worked well, and toiletries were provided upon request. Breakfast was good, and the lady of the house was very friendly—she even offered us fresh guavas, which was a nice touch.

However, our overall experience was somewhat mixed. We had booked a safari with another company, and it seemed this was not very well received by the hosts. Our initial interactions felt a bit awkward, although things improved somewhat afterwards. At the end of our stay, the men of the house offered to drive us to Mirissa for 18,000 LKR. During the trip, he asked us to pay an additional 1,000 LKR for highway tolls and kept the change without returning it to us. Unfortunately, we were also fined for not wearing seat belts, although we had not been informed that this was required -as most of the cars dont even have a seat belts in Sri Lanka.. In total, we paid 19,000 LKR despite originally agreeing on 18,000 LKR. While these issues were relatively minor, the situation was a bit unfortunate and left us with a slightly disappointing final impression of what was otherwise a pleasant stay.

Skønt ophold med en sød familie, der var meget hjælpsomme og god aftensmad.

Śniadanie na życzenie. Raczej przeciętne. Właściciel organizuje safari po Yale. Cena wyższa niż propozycje na Booking o jakieś 25 $, ale widać, że jest doświadczony. Za bilety wstępu do Yale zapłaciliśmy kierowcy 25 000 . Trudno to zweryfikować bo na stronie Yale nie ma cennika.
