All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
From the moment we arrived, the owners were so kind and helpful, even organising a full-day safari with an amazing guide where we spotted three leopards and so much more.
The rooms were spotless, honestly the cleanest we saw in our whole month in Sri Lanka, and could easily match a high-end hotel in Europe or the US. The location is perfect, right next to the entrance to Yala National Park, so you get peace and nature all around. We even saw a chameleon in the garden!
The food was the best of our trip, authentic Sri Lankan dishes, amazing hoppers, and the fluffiest pancakes for breakfast. Generous portions, cooked with care.
If you get the chance to stay here, do it.
You’ll leave with a full heart, a full stomach, and memories you won’t forget.
