Guest Reviews
- Seppe (10/5): Perfect stay - Such nice people and seeing crokodiles from the pool Nothing
- ANASTASIA (9/5): - The place and its location were amazing! The people were very friendly and willing to make our stay pleasant! Recommended!
- Kaweendya (10/5): Perfect value for the money I paid. - Peaceful environment, cleanliness, food
- Dmitri (10/5): - Fantastisch! Alles war hervorragend. Der Pool mit Blick auf den Fluss war ideal. Sowohl die Küche als auch der Service waren erstklassig. Ich bestellte gebratenen Fisch und einen Mojito. Beides war ausgezeichnet. Die Aussicht war ebenfalls großartig.
- Iosifina (10/5): - This place felt like a little paradise. From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. They were always ready to help us with anything we needed, and their positive energy truly made a difference — it felt like they were shining from within. The food was absolutely wonderful, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. They also helped us organize a safari, which turned out to be an unforgettable and amazing experience. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special and memorable experience.
- BIO (10/5): - A very nice and quiet place to stay. The staff and owner are very nice, and the food is delicious.
- Piet (9/5): Geweldig - Mooie accommodatie, we hadden het treehouse, was niet groot maar wel veel privacy met uitzicht op tuin, zwembad en rivier. Ontbijt was heerlijk, personeel was heel vriendelijk en stond altijd klaar voor,
- Meike (10/5): Prachtige uitvalslocatie voor Yala en om te genieten bij het zwembad! - De locatie was prachtig met uitzicht naar het zwembad, de rivier en de mooi onderhouden tuin. De kamer was heel ruim, wel iets donker, maar we waren vooral buiten. De familie is heel warm en vriendelijk. Ze regelden een goede safari voor ons met ervaren chaffeur en ook het vevoer naar de volgende bestemming. Het vervoer was heel comfortabel en we hebben genoten van het gesprek met de eigenaar over de cultuur en tuinieren. Tip: eten kan je bestellen bij het hotel en daar eten, als je met kinderen op tijd wil eten geef dan een uurtje eerder door wat je wil eten.
- Sharon (9/5): -
- Nimal (7/5): - Breakfast was ok. Rooms are little bit of pricy.
- Carola (9/5): - Het personeel is super vriendelijk. Heerlijk ontbijt, de beste tot nu toe. Grote familiekamer voor 5 personen. Mooi uitzicht op de rivier. Het 5e bed was iets aan de harde kant
- Guest (8/5): -
- Caracatzanis (9/5): Top adresse - L’établissement dispose d'un jardin incroyablement bien entretenu, un vrai havre de paix. La piscine à débordement avec vue sur la rivière est une pure merveille, l'endroit idéal pour se détendre. Le personnel est aux petits soins, toujours souriant et très attentionné. Nous avons également réservé notre safari directement via l’hôtel : l'organisation était impeccable et le prix très intéressant par rapport à ce qu'on peut trouver ailleurs. Une adresse incontournable à Tissa ! Rien

- laure (10/5): Un véritable paradis - C’est le paradis sur terre!!!!! Des chambres spacieuses, confortables, climatisation et ventilateur, eau chaude, bonne wifi. Plusieurs endroits pour se poser, hammacs, transats... Un personnel absoluement incroyable!! Toujours au petit soin, ils cuisinent sur place de très bons repas. On peut faire laver son linge. Ils sont très souriants et sympathiques. Ils étaient très attentionnés avec notre fils de 5 ans. Ils nous ont organisé un safari de la veille pour le lendemain avec des prix très attractifs, 2 chauffeurs absolument incroyables, nous avons vu un léopard qui attaquait sa proie! Une piscine à débordement avec une vue somptueuse sur la rivière, des singes qui sautent dans les arbres, des oiseaux incroyables, dans un jardin très bien entretenu. Nous étions littéralement tristes de partir. Si nous avions pu, nous serions restés bien plus longtemps. Rien!
- Elise (9/5): -
- Aylish (10/5): Amazing stay - We loved everything about our stay and would definitely recommend Yala River Face Inn. All the staff are so friendly and cannot do enough for you. They all work so hard. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful with lots of nature and wildlife around you. It is very well looked after. The pool is fantastic, overlooking the river. We spent our afternoons by it, following morning safaris. There are cold soft drinks, beer, water and ice available and a menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner options. All the meals we had were very nice. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable room with good air-conditioning and a ceiling fan. The shower was powerful with hot/cold setting. The bed and pillows were comfy. It's nice and quiet at night for a good night's sleep. Also parking space was available. There was a supermarket 5-10 minute walk away, if required. It was my partners birthday whilst here, which came up in conversation. They went above and beyond in helping make his birthday a memorable one. Thanks to all staff, we really enjoyed our stay. We liked everything.
- Arthur (10/5): -
- Francesco (10/5): Amazing stay and great staff - The staff was very welcoming and making sure everything was well arranged. Very nice and big room. We had a perfect stay! Nothing
- Debora (10/5): - Che dire… non volevo più andarmene via da lì. Un posto incantato nella pace più assoluta, le foto non rendendo la bellezza di quel posto, oltre le aspettative che già erano alte vedendo le foto e le recensioni. Lo staff ed il proprietario estremamente gentili, disponibili, sorridenti e attenti ad ogni richiesta e necessità, soprattutto il ragazzo alla reception. Appena fuori dal caos cittadino ma raggiungibile in pochi minuti a piedi. La comodità è che ti cucinano quello che vuoi ad ogni ora e puoi mangiarlo in piscina o nel giardino esterno che è decisamente il più bello e curato che ho visto in tutti i miei soggiorni in Sri Lanka. Standard davvero altissimo e molto vicino all’Occidente. La cosa bellissima è che puoi noleggiare da loro la bicicletta per guardare i due laghi e quanto più possibile vicino al resort. Spettacolare tutto!
- Anna (10/5): - La piscina y la atención del personal
- Sharon (9/5): Great view of the river, close to everything we needed. - Loved it all so we went back for another 2 nights when our flights were cancelled. For the 2nd time we booked the tree house room which was great. Staff were very very friendly, sometimes a bit much for me! But they were only being kind so not a problem. The smell of the Tree House room. It was an air freshener smell but extremely strong and I would have preferred not to have had to smell it. A kettle would also have been very useful and a small fridge. (But we were able to make use of the hotel's fridge)
- Lori (8/5): A good choice for safari - Nice treehouse accommodation with river views and a nice pool breakfast was good and we ate supper there which was also good the manager helped us book our safari at a very fair price You need a tuk tuk if you want to go the 5km back into town
- camille.coutant44 (10/5): - Nous y étions en famille avec nos deux filles de 5 et 8 ans. Nous avons dormi ici pour effectuer le parc de Yala qui est à une demi-heure de route. La chambre est parfaite pour 4. Le cadre est exceptionnel (le long de la rivière) avec une piscine appréciable.
- christine (10/5): -
- Monique (10/5): Heerlijk plekje met zorgzame staff - Yala River Face Inn is een fijne, rustige plek direct aan de rivier met een mooie tuin, een veranda waar je kunt zitten om een spelletje te doen of een hapje te eten en een lekker zwembad met comfortabele ligstoelen en parasols rondom. De accommodatie heeft een kleine kaart met lekkere gerechten (ontbijt, lunch en diner). De eigenaar en zijn staff zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Zo hebben ze de safari naar Yala NP geregeld, suggesties gedaan voor bezienswaardigheden in de omgeving (vogels spotten bij Debarawewa Lake en vleermuizen bij het Fruit bat viewing point). Ze hebben zelfs fietsen voor ons geregeld zodat we er zelf opuit konden…! 😃 -
- Salvatore (10/5): - Wirklich tolle und wunderschöne Anlage mit Pool direkt am Fluss. Dort kann man mit ein wenig Glück sogar Krokodile sehen. Unser Zimmer war perfekt ausgestattet (Klimaanlage, separates WC & Dusche). Man kann sich jederzeit Getränke oder Essen bestellen und alles wird frisch zubereitet. Dadurch fühlt man sich schon fast wie im Luxusresort. Alles, was wir bestellt hatten, war einwandfrei und wirklich lecker. Wir hatten auch eine Safari über die Unterkunft gebucht, alles hat problemlos funktioniert und die Safari war wirklich gut. Ein Highlight sind die Mitarbeiter und die Familie, der das Hotel gehört. Sehr herzlich, hilfsbereit und immer freundlich und bemüht! Der Chef hat uns am Abreisetag sogar noch zur Bushaltestelle in Tissa gefahren.
- Margit (9/5): -
- Lenka (10/5): Quiet stay by the river - The property is set off the main road, next to the river, in quiet and serene spot. The property has small pool with banana chairs with umbrellas and hammocks to relax after day of exploring. Room was spacious and clean with 2 big comfy beds. Bathroom clean too. The staff is very attentive, happy to help organize tours or transport. They run little restaurant on site where they cook meals from scratch. We had delicious soups for lunch and curry for dinner. They were happy to accommodate for our dietary limitations. all was good
- sekhar (10/5): -
- Lucas (6/5): Nous ne conseillerons pas cet établissement. - Environnement agréable, personnel disponible et avenant, la piscine est très agréable Chambre petite, le mobilier annoncé n'était pas présent dans la chambre nous avons du demander une séchoir pour les serviette, pas de table dans la chambre, uniquement dans les parties communes. Bonne pression dans la douche uniquement le premier jours, il semblerait qu'il y ai eu un problème ensuite... nous avons demandé a faire une machine, le paiement se fait séparément de la facture de la chambre, cela ne nous à pas été expliqué, une femme nous a suivi dans la rue pour qu'on lui fasse le règlement. Nous avons demandé à quitter la chambre à midi mais les clients suivant sont arrivés plus tot que prévu nous avons été sortie de la chambre pour qu'ils puissent la refaire. Pour terminer règlement par carte possible mais avec des frais exorbitants. Au final nous n'avons pas eu un aurevoir à notre départ.
- Ade (10/5): - Absolutely loved it here. Nothing was too much trouble, a beautiful, peaceful place, staff were amazing. My wife was ill, they took us to a doctor, and then the chemist to get the prescription. Maybe the room was a little basic, but we didnt care about that at all. Amazing people,amazing place Nothing.
- D'Imperio (9/5): Ottimo per il Safari - Bella struttura con una bella piscina che si affaccia sul fiume. Anche il giardino vicino piscina è molto curato. Proprietario molto gentile e cordiale, che ci ha organizzato un fantastico safari. Vi consiglio di affidarvi a loro per il Safari allo Yala, perché riescono ad avere degli ottimi prezzi. Non posso valutare la colazione perché ci sono stato solo una notte e ho fatto il safari e quindi sono partito alle 4:30 di mattina. Però posso valutare la cena della sera prima, è stata molto buona e abbondante e ad un prezzo in linea con il posto, vi consiglio di cenare lì a bordo piscina nella tranquillità del loro giardino. Se nel Safari volete vedere il leopardo, vi consiglio di fare il safari dell’intera giornata, è leggermente più costoso ma ne vale la pena perché il leopardo si muove solo nel pomeriggio.
- Daniela (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert! - Toller Garten und sehr gepflegte Anlage! Sehr hilfsbereites Personal. Familiengeführtes Hotel mit Charme! Der Pool lädt zum Entspannen nach einer Safari ein! Gutes Essen!
- Coline (8/5): -
- Edward (10/5): Incredible hotel situated near Yala National Park - Great location situated near the national park. Staff were incredibly friendly and even drove us and picked us up from a restaurant in the evening. We booked a safari through the staff and had so much fun and importantly saw a leopard! Great stay, will definitely be back at some point.
- pharkas (10/5): Świetny punkt wypadowy na safari - Świetny basen tuż nad rzeką, bardzo pomocny personel.
- marie (10/5): - Personnel adorable et cadre parfait avec piscine Nous recommandons vivement Excellent rapport qualité prix
- Dumindu (10/5): -
- Michael (9/5): Good room - We had one of the ground floor rooms and it’s a pretty typical room you get in Sri Lanka. No complaints but not amazing. What is amazing is the dinner we had here (the grilled chicken and dahl soup were great) and the full-day Yala tour we booked with the hotel. It was an early start (4:30 am) but we were third jeep into the park so we dodged most of the crowd, and we’re glad we did the full day because we had a great sighting of a leopard in a tree in the afternoon.
- Corneel_Bekaert (10/5): Perfect for a visit to Yala National Park - The perfect stay for a visit to Yala National Park. The people are so friendly and helpful. Beyond expectations. 10 out of 10.
- Barbara (10/5): - Basen był.dla nas kluczowy bo podróżowaliśmy z dziećmi a to zawsze dobra atrakcją na koniec dnia. Ładny ogród. Super personel. Trochę trzeba czekać na jedzenie ale wiadomo robią sami. Wybraliśmy ten hotel jako bazę wypadową do zwiedzania Yela NP.
- Katarzyna (10/5): - Budynek, obsługa, posiłki, internet rewelacja. Oczywiście to nie Ritz, ale na miejscu było wszystko co jest potrzebne. Basen niewielki, ale spełnił swoją rolę. Hotel zorganizował dla nas wycieczkę do Yala, obsługa hotelu poleciła kilka atrakcji w okolcy (np Flying Foxes), a w rzecze i jej okolicy widzieliśmy krokodyle, tukany i wiele innych zwierząt. Sam budynek hotelu jest niezwykle ładny, więc będziemy wspominać ten pobyt w samych superlatywach. Jedynym minusem była ilość komarów wieczorem, ale wybierają hotel przy rzece trzeba się z tym liczyć. Na plus na pewno zachowanie obsługi, która rozstawiała różne środki odstraszające komary. Chętnie następnym razem wybrałbym jeden z większych pokoi, które prezentowały sie rewelacyjnie.
- Vera (10/5): -
- Kip (10/5): - Very comfy place with places to hangout and a great pool
- Carol (10/5): - Very tidy and clean accommodations. The accommodations were cosy and well-maintained. Thank you for the welcome drink; the staff was very polite and helpful. The food was freshly prepared and handmade. For those travelling on a safari, there are extra bonus points for the early-morning takeaway meal.
- James (8/5): A very peaceful place - Lovely swimming pool Excellent food Don't go outside for evening meal Better at hotel! Helpful nice staff especially when one member of our group had toothache and needed a dentist_ They were wonderful Good base for Bundala Nothing
- Karen (10/5): Top liebevolle Unterkunft - Tolle Unterkunft am Fluss mit Pool. Sehr liebevoll und sehr nette Menschen. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und haben für morgens yala ein Frühaufspaket bekommen. Das Frühstück vor Ort war richtig gut Perfekt für uns alles
- Karolina (8/5): -
- Tushar (10/5): - This is a beautiful place with an amazing host. Loved having conversations and swimming in an amazing pool. Even the food was delicious.
- Amit (10/5): -
- diego (9/5): Gran estancia - La piscina impresionante, personal muy atento y habitaciones correctas. Cenamos allí y nos mantuvieron la habitación después del safari.
- Stefano (10/5): - La posizione e la piscina Nulla
- Ariel (10/5): - Beautiful scenery might be found beside the river. For the brief time we were there, the staff was incredibly engaging, kind, and supportive, and it felt like home. We both had a great time and will return.
- drieke (8/5): Aangenaam hotel met vriendelijk personeel. - Schoon uitzicht van de rivier met zwembad. Heel vriendelijk personeel. Voor airco op de kamer moest je bij betalen.
- Anabel (10/5): Estancia perfecta! - Nos gusto todo. Los tres chicos que lo gestionan son encantadores, muy simpáticos y serviciales, y además cocinan genial! La piscina con una vistas al rio, con tumbonas y césped. La habitación muy cómoda, el baño reformado y muy limpio todo. De las mejores estancias en el país! Nos trajeron un aperitivo en la piscina y nos dieron a probar dulces típicos hechos por ellos!
- Boaz Floris (10/5): - We hebben hier één nacht doorgebracht omdat we Yala bezochten. Het uitzicht was prachtig. Naast het verzorgen van een ontbijtpakket, een chauffeur voor de Yala-safari en ballonnen voor de verjaardag van onze zoon, was de gastheer ongelooflijk vriendelijk. De kamer was schoon en prettig.
- Samuel (10/5): Great place, well located, friendly staff - Great room overlooking the river, refreshing pool and comfortable seating by it. Attentive and friendly staff, gave us a tour of their beautiful spice garden, booked a well priced Yala safari and brought us with our bags to the bus stop. Top place to stay, thanks!
- Amit (9/5): - We checked in at night for our morning safari, and the hotel team arranged everything seamlessly. They offer both half-day and full-day safari packages with convenient pick-up and drop from the property. Mr. Lahiru welcomed us so warmly and even guided us while we enjoyed feeding fish in the river. The whole atmosphere is calm and peaceful, with a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the river. What we truly appreciated was their kindness during checkout. After starting our safari as early as 5 AM, we were completely drained. Since we were traveling with a child, we requested a little extra time to rest. Unlike many other hotels, Mr. Lahiru was very understanding and generous, allowing us a late checkout without any hassle. Overall, it was a wonderful stay in the lap of nature — comfortable, caring, and memorable. Highly recommended! 🌿 No such thing as we didn't like.
- F (8/5): Heerlijk! - Zwembad, safari guide en heerlijk ontbijt. Wat onzorgvuldig in de communicatie en kamer room erg vochtig. Weinig privacy in de kamer. Door terras voor de deur.
- Pheodora Esphyr (10/5): - Мотель расположен прямо на берегу реки, в окружении зелени. Из номера открывался потрясающий вид, он был довольно просторным и чистым. На следующее утро после нашего прибытия они без труда организовали сафари. Еда в ресторане была восхитительной и превосходной!
- Guest (10/5): Perfect stay in Yala - Everything was amazing!!! The amenities, location and hospitality were perfect. We will come back, for sure!
- Ali (10/5): It was exceptional. - It was really good. Enjoyed my time and staff is extremely good.
- Benjamin Ethan (10/5): - The bathroom was beautiful and spotless, and the room was ideal—it was really roomy. I adored the hotel's proximity to the river. The personnel was incredibly kind and kind. A welcome pleasure is the pool! I intend to come back here shortly.
- Gisela Hedwig (10/5): - Wir haben hier eine Nacht verbracht. Der Garten und der Pool haben uns von Anfang an sehr gut gefallen. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Am nächsten Morgen ging ich auf Safari und bekam Frühstück zum Mitnehmen, was sehr angenehm war.
- Verena (10/5): - der tolle Pool und der Blick auf den fluß... dazu die spitzenmäßige Organisation einer Safari durch unseren Host zu einem sehr guten Preis...
- Miguel Angel (10/5): - Personal super amable, muy buenas instalaciones. Habitaciones limpias y amplias.
- Pilar (9/5): - La ubicación, la amabilidad y la piscina!!!! Todo lo disfrutamos muchísimo!!!! El dueño además nos organizó el safari de Yala y fue fantástico!!!!! El conductor de 10!!!! Además a la vuelta del safari, aunque nos íbamos nos dejó disfrutar de la piscina y descansar tranquilamente. Una gozada
- fabio (9/5): - Bellissimo posto, struttura accogliente, personale gentile. La piccola piscina è veramente una chicca. Top! Forse sarà perché quella sera eravamo solo noi ma la cena è stata una delusione, la cucina era chiusa e sono andati a prendere il cibo non sappiamo bene dove. La colazione invece merita.
- Lydia (8/5): Entorno perfecto - Habitación super amplia y cómoda. Piscina con vistas a una zona de río. El personal super atento y amable. Hicimos safari con ellos. Por poner un pero, la noche que pasábamos allí nos levantábamos a las 3.30 de la mañana por el safari. La tarde de antes, llegó un autobús con unas 12 personas con niños y a las 9 de la noche comenzaron una fiesta en la piscina (a 20 metros de nuestra habitación) con altavoces y barbacoa. Salimos varias veces a decir que bajaran la música que teníamos que dormir pero no hacían ni caso. Al final a la 1 de la mañana fue cuando quitaron la música después de insistir varias veces al personal del hotel.
- Edith (7/5): - Etablissement correct et propre ; la piscine venait tout juste d'être mise en service lors de notre séjour d'une nuit en août 2025 ce qui était une bonne surprise. Néanmoins tous les abords étaient encore en plein travaux. Petit déjeuner Sri Lankais généreux et très bien dressé. Chambre familiale spacieuse. Beaucoup de personnes présentes sur les lieux mais il nous a été difficile d'identifier les bons interlocuteurs (nous ne savions pas qui faisait quoi). La qualité du repas du soir mériterait d'être améliorée par rapport aux standards proposés dans les autres établissements similaires (beaucoup d'os parmi les morceaux de poulets, soupe fade).
- Mirko (9/5): Oasi di pace e tranquillità - Personale molto disponibile, stupenda piscina e ottima cucina. Nulla
- Carme (9/5): - It is a very nice place ideal if you want to do the Yala Safari. The rooms are large but basic. The exterior is very nice and with a new and very nice swimming pool that overlooks the river. The hotel was a bit under construction finishing the pool area. It is common for hotels to be under construction at this time. Anyway it didn't affect anything. The restaurant's food could be more elaborate
- MIKEL (9/5): -
- JOAN (6/5): Correcte - L'espai exterior i la piscina, que esta molt bé. Les habitacions son senzilles i podria millorar la neteja. Per anar al centre del poble no s'hi pot anar caminant. A tenir en compte que en les habitacions de la planta baixa, s'escolta tot el soroll de l'exterior i dificulta poder dormir.
- Daniele (9/5): - Lo stile di accoglienza semi europeo e i sevizi offerti
- Viganoni (10/5): - l’hotel è un resort, un’oasi di pace e fresco. lo staff è gentilissimo e il proprietario è un ragazzo giovane che ha creato un fantastico family buisness. si mangia bene, sapori più delicati rispetto ad altri ristoranti dello sri lanka (noi abbiamo apprezzato molto) e organizzano ottimi safari a yala park. tappa obbligata per chi visita yala park. niente
- Ann (9/5): - Hele vriendelijke en behulpzame familie. Mooie tuin en ruime kamer. Tilani kan je ook overal heen brengen. Hij rijdt rustig en is heel aangenaam. Echt een aanrader en nu zeker er een zwembad in de tuin is. Heel lekker en ruim ontbijt.
- Jacqueline (9/5): Lovely peaceful and friendly - Really friendly and helpful host and staff. Lovely clean and spacious room. Beautiful setting. Great to get a beer and food at the inn after a long day’s safari!
- Nicolas (9/5): - Gentillesse hôtes Bonne surprise : la superbe piscine Petit déjeuner local gargantuesque Rien
- Sys (9/5): -
- Kyō Tsubame (10/5): - オーナーご夫妻と素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。必要なサポートはすべて受けていただきました。車で送迎していただき、ヤラでのサファリの手配もしていただきました。他に予約がなかったので、プライベートツアーになりました。さらに、次回の旅行の車の手配もしていただきました。 ティルナさんの奥様が新鮮な食材だけを使って作ってくれた、美味しいスリランカ家庭料理をいただきました。設備は特に最新式ではありませんが、料金に見合っている点は特筆に値します。総合的に見て、この宿泊施設を心からお勧めします。
- Jaklien (10/5): Fantastische plek en verblijf. - De eigenaar is de perfecte gastheer. Vriendelijk, denkt mee, en is attent. Hij weet veel over de planten, vruchten en bomen in zijn prachtige tuin. Hier hebben we het beste Sri-Lankees ontbijt tot nu toe gehad. Ligt prachtig aan de rivier rand waar je veel vogels hoort en ziet waaronder neushoornvogels. Hotel is met veel zorg gebouwd in de stijl passend voor de plek met mooie materialen. Safari naar Yalla was super, oa twee luipaarden gezien, naast oa olifanten, magnoeten, waterbuffels, allerlei vogels en bijeneters. Er waren wat werkzaamheden in de tuin vanwege de aanleg van het zwembad (wordt schitterend overigens). Is uiteraard tijdelijk.
- Anton Lars (10/5): - Kaunis hotelli. Saimme viettää aikaa erittäin rauhallisesti. Myös safari järjestettiin meille. Pääsimme myös uimaan pienessä kanavassa Tissamaharamassa. Rehellisesti sanottuna hotellin omistaja vei minut Alakataan. Hän on erittäin ystävällinen mies.
- Thirunavukarasu (8/5): - Excellent location, really friendly staff We had some issues with the water from the washrooms .
- Elena (10/5): Favoloso per accoglienza e disponibilità. - Tutto. La famiglia è straordinaria. Sono disponibili in tutto. Mi sono sentita accolta e coccolata . Situato sul fiume immerso nella pace.
- Sharif (10/5): Wonderful stay - Very friendly and welcoming staff. Served me lovely Sri Lanka food upon arriving. That I could not stay longer
- Liudmyla (10/5): - Очень дружелюбные хозяева , угощали свежим соком при заселении и после сафари , хорошая территория, разрешили воспользоваться кухней, в номере горячая вода
- Abbas Waseem (10/5): - A lovely hotel. We spent a night there. I wish we could have spent one more night together. The safari was set up right away. Leopards were sighted. A really good breakfast was served to us.
- Tyra (10/5): Helt fantastisk - Fantastiskt hotel med mycket trevlig personal. Vi fick se hur maten lagades. Helt fantastisk ris och curry. Kan verkligen rekommendera den Sri lankiska frukosten, fick smaka mycket av allt. Rekommenderar starkt hotellet
- Ruben Narek (10/5): - Ես այստեղ եկա կնոջս և երկու տարեկան որդու հետ ճամփորդության։ Սա Շրի Լանկայի լավագույն հյուրանոցն է, որտեղ մենք մնացել ենք։ Նրանց հյուրընկալությունը շատ բարձր է։ Այս հյուրանոցում կարող եք շատ համեղ ուտելիք ստանալ։ Եվ կարող եք շատ ազատորեն անցկացնել ձեր ժամանակը։ Չնայած այս հյուրանոցը գտնվում է փոքրիկ գյուղում, հարևանների կողմից որևէ խնդիր չի եղել։ Հյուրանոցի տակով հոսող գետը շատ գեղեցիկ է։ Մենք այնտեղ կոկորդիլոս տեսանք։
- Giulia (9/5): Ottimo - Immerso nel verde, e ottimo il safari a Yala che ci hanno organizzato. Il proprietario (credo) è stato molto gentile da accompagnarci alla fermata del bus il giorno della nostra partenza. Lo consiglio
- Marco Rafael (10/5): - Ojalá hubiera podido venir a este hotel en unos dos meses. Porque están construyendo una piscina infinita frente al río. Eso lo embellecerá aún más. La hospitalidad también es excelente. El safari lo organizó el propio hotel. Es un lugar que no te puedes perder.
- Marine (9/5): Bon rapport qualité/prix. Idéal pour safari. - Chambre propre, bien équipée et très agréable. Les hôtes sont adorables, attentionnés et aux petits soins. L’endroit est idéal pour passer une nuit avant un safari, au calme et bien situé. Une moustiquaire aurait été un vrai plus pour se protéger des moustiques et des petites bêtes.
- Maria (7/5): - It was a good stay in general, the treehouse was spacious and clean. Nice safari organised for the next day. Friendly staff. Very noisy in the day time and at night, there seemed to be lots of local people socialising around the hotel at all hours with loud music. No hot water in the shower, only warm. Also note that the place is currently in construction for a new swimming pool- not the hotel’s fault obviously, but this meant there were lots of workmen around and building noises most of the day and much of the grounds are unusable.
- Coral (8/5): - El personal es encantador y muy hospitalario. Hemos ido en temporada baja (principios de junio) y estaban aprovechando para mejorar las instalaciones y construir una piscina antes de que llegue la temporada alta de turismo.
- BRONISŁAWA LUIZA (10/5): - Pobyt w Yala River Face Inn był jednym z najważniejszych momentów naszej podróży na Sri Lankę. Od momentu przyjazdu traktowano nas jak rodzinę. Gospodarze przywitali nas świeżymi napojami z królewskiego kokosa i ciepłymi uśmiechami po długiej podróży — to był tak przemyślany gest, że od razu poczuliśmy się jak w domu. Nasz pokój miał idealny widok na rzekę, a podczas pierwszej porannej kawy na balkonie dostrzegliśmy nawet kilka małp bawiących się na pobliskich drzewach. Czuliśmy się jak w naszym małym schronieniu w dżungli. Jeśli odwiedzasz Yala, nie przegap tego ukrytego klejnotu. Naturalne otoczenie, spersonalizowana obsługa i niezapomniane wrażenia w Yala River Face Inn sprawiają, że czujemy się jak w domu z dala od domu. Wyjechaliśmy z pięknymi wspomnieniami i nowymi przyjaciółmi.
- Patrizia Corinna (10/5): Un gioiello nascosto vicino a Yala: un soggiorno davvero memorabile allo Yala River Face Inn! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Il mio soggiorno allo Yala River Face Inn è stato a dir poco eccezionale. Immerso nelle tranquille rive del fiume e immerso nella natura, questo incantevole hotel è il rifugio perfetto per chiunque visiti il Parco Nazionale di Yala. Le camere erano impeccabili, spaziose e progettate con cura, dotate di comfort moderni, pur mantenendo un'atmosfera calda e accogliente. Svegliarsi con il canto degli uccelli e il placido scorrere del fiume è stata un'esperienza rigenerante. Ciò che distingue davvero questo posto è l'ospitalità. Il personale ha fatto di tutto per farci sentire benvenuti e coccolati, offrendo un servizio personalizzato con sorrisi genuini. Ci hanno aiutato a organizzare il nostro safari con una guida esperta che ha reso il viaggio indimenticabile. Il cibo è stato un altro punto forte: piatti tipici dello Sri Lanka preparati al momento, assolutamente deliziosi. Cenare all'aperto, immersi nella natura, ha aggiunto ulteriore fascino. Se cercate un soggiorno tranquillo, autentico e confortevole vicino a Yala, consiglio vivamente lo Yala River Face Inn. È più di un semplice posto dove dormire: è un'esperienza che vi connette alla natura e alla cultura locale.
