"Clean and quiet place. Nice staff .Highly recomended ."

"Aucun."

"A super friendly and helpful host, who made us really welcome. The pool was a great bonus - just what we needed after a long days travel. Room was very large, very comfortable and had great facilities. We even had our evening meal here at a reasonable cost. Very good accommodation - would definitely stay again if I was in the area. They do their own safari tours but we had already booked one with a different company prior to arrival, so didn't get the chance to go with them."

"Nothing. All good. We left very early - a packed up breakfast would have been nice, but definitely not a deal breaker"

"Very friendly owner family, nice food (lunch and dinner), AC worked well, pool was really nice as it was quite hot, room was big, bathroom was totally ok, it was cleaned properly"

"There was a musty smell in the room that even our clothes smelled like it afterwards"

"This hotel is run by a very friendly family. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast is delicious! The hotel also offers competitive-priced safari tours, and, most importantly, it doesn't force its guests to use their safari services, unlike other hotels."

"Aucun."

"This property was central and the staff were lovely and helpful."

"Rooms could have been a bit cleaner. With lots of random stuff I. Room."

Inken - 13/02/2026 12:26:04

"The host was super nice and we had some great talks with her over breakfast and dinner. The family apartment was super for our family of 4, with two separate bedrooms. We also liked the pool a lot and the basketball was great fun to play with. The host also helped us with transport to and from the hotel and safari all with great service and prices. We can highly recommend Ibis especially for its hospitality. And great dinners which were organized for us to eat at the hotel given we have a baby which went to bed early."

"It could have been s bit cleaner in some corners. And the kitchen in the apartment was not really equipped with anything. But we were offered to get kitchen equipment if we need it"

"It was a lovely little resort with a small pool that our children enjoyed for several hours. The owner prepared a delicious Sri Lankan dinner and arranged everything for our safari the next morning. After the safari, we were able to have breakfast and freshen up before continuing to our next destination. The owner was very kind and helpful when our little one wasn’t feeling well, providing medicine and ginger tea. She also arranged a driver for us. Thank you once again for the wonderful hospitality!"

"Aucun."

"Spacious, clean and very comfortable. Large lounge area in our room, hot water and a very comfy bed. Swimming pool was a real luxury to cool down with after a big day in the sun."

"Pretty close to the main road, so a little traffic noise. But no problem for us"

Eva - 08/08/2025 16:15:23

"The host is very friendly. The pool is nice and the apartment we had was very spacious. Two bedrooms, one living room, two bathrooms, two toilets and one kitchen! Dinner was good and breakfast was nice. When we left for an early safari, the host prepared us a breakfast to take with us."

"The kitchen was not equipped (no cutlery, no plates etc) and there was no fridge so we could not use the kitchen. All rooms were very dark as there were no widows. There was a strange unpleasant smell in all rooms- probably due to zero aeration in the apartment. You have to pay in cash. The credit card machine is broken."

Guest reviews

"My wife and I stayed here for two nights. The location is great, right next to Yala National Park. The huts are hand-built, made of clay, living in them is a unique experience. The host is very kind and friendly, helps in any way he can, we are very grateful to him for that and are glad that we met! 😊 The host also prepared some delicious traditional food for us. He will also help with organizing a safari, and can take you around the area himself and tell you interesting stories!"

"Location super wild in the jungle. You have to love camping and this is the best solution for you!"

"This was a nicely designed hotel, with spacious rooms. Conveniently located for Yala safari pickups. There was even a peacock to greet us every morning outside our balcony!"

"I can’t put into words just how beautiful and spectacular this place is. Honestly WOW! My rooms that had over 15 foot ceilings, everything made of stone, fans and air conditioning, the nature surrounding us, the Pool and the hotel grounds, the warm and amazing staff! My stay was short and I regret not staying longer. Just AMAZING and also the owner was there to answer all my questions and last minute demands. Don’t forget to tip the staff because they go over and beyond for you."

"natural surroundings, friendly staff and good service, well organized safari, tasty food."

"What an unforgettable stay! The location of this camp is beautiful and perfectly located for the safari tour. You have direct access to the dune area during sun set hours. Just be aware that you will have to walk quite a bit through deep sand and there are a lot of nature sounds during the night."

"Staff going beyond expectations. Nice spot at the outskirt of the park. Amazing food experience - you taste many local dishes and they explain them to you in a lovely setting with candles and a campfire."

"Outstanding property, great in park location on the water, easy access to the park for the PM and AM safari's. Very well organised"

"the location is quiet and Bindu’s wife is an amazing host! She welcomed me with a fresh juice and I had a delicious dinner. the bed is comfortable and the AC works accordingly. also good wifi and a perfect coffee in the morning. Really enjoyed my stay here! Would highly recommend!"
