Yaye Guest House

Very friendly owner. He cooked for us and showed us around the area He organized safari to Yala for us. Highly recommend this place

Here we found a great peaceful place between the rice fields. It's really close to Bundala National Park and we even visited the outside part with Shanta, our amazing host, who showed us a lot of wildlife close to the park and inside his garden. He cooked amazing food (breakfast, dinner and lunch)! The AC was working nice.

Rooms are clean. air conditioning works good, food was very fresh and delicious. the owner is a very warm person who made our stay to an unforgettable experience. nice garden

We LOVED our stay at the Yaye guesthouse. The garden and rooms are exactly like in the pictures. You are in a green oasis surrounded by rice fields. One room comes with AC the other one without. You get breakfast and dinner if you like. There are books, a hammock and lounge chairs for the garden. We even were satisfied with the bread :-) Wifi works perfect and you can book a safari right on the spot. But(!) you won't be sharing your jeep, it will be just you.

Nothing to complain just a side note: the guest house really is in the middle of nowhere surrounded by fields and nature. If you are into that, you will love it, if you rather have a town close to you with shops and bars and restaurants maybe consider something else.

If you're looking for an authentic experience, this is the place to be! Located in the middle of the paddy field, you'll get a welcomed resort from traffic noise and urban pulse. The host will truly take care of you, and he cooks the most delicious meals! He will probably take you on a walk on the fields, looking for crocodiles, and chatting with local farmers. This gives so much more value than ordinary accommodations.

I should have booked the Yala safari from somewhere else, so I could have shared the jeep with others since I was travelling solo. If your top priority is comfort, then you should probably choose to stay somewhere else for a slightly higher price.

Yaye Guesthouse to us was an uxepected gem. Inmidst rice paddies and coconut trees and it is a perfect place to escape the hustle of the crowded tourist destinations. It has very nice garden and plenty of common area to hang out and relax and within one step you are out in nature and a small scale pristine rural neighbourhood. The room was comfy and the mattress great! Shanta is a very kind and caring host and knowledgeable throughout his garden and the area. He knows where to find crocodiles and what time the elefants are crossing the river to get to Bundala NP. Yaye Guesthouse offers a real and unique experience and be sure to start everyday with a proper and delicious Breakfast! :)

Nothing

Cozy clean room, the dinner cooked by the owner was delicious.

nothing, we were very happy!

Santha is a passionate soul, he ensure the places is net, well maintained and the best being he is an amazing cook too. would recommend this to anyone planning for for Yala

So nice place to stay, the owner Shantha is such a great person. If you want to see local Sri Lankan life it’s a super address. On top of that Shantha is a great cooker if you want to try local fresh food. Shantha orginized as well our Safari to Yala National Park, amazing experience. Can only recommend

A beautiful garden, very comfortable room, secluded and private location, excellent host, but the absolute best thing was the food!
