From the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted by the owners of the property who showed exceptional hospitality. The room was really nice and clean with an amazing view of the surroundings. The food was 10/10 with a selection of both local and international options. The owners helped with arranging a jeep for the safari and were ready to help with any other requests. I would highly recommend staying at the property if you’re going for the Yala Jungle Safari. ##### Ahmed Yaanis Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emil Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An unforgettable stay 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. ##### Emil Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ella Deck Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-Ella-Deck-Resort.h107262491.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weerawila-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Weerawila-Rajawarna-Resort.h23701470.Hotel-Information) > > [Room in Villa - Surf 247 Weligama - Deluxe Double Room With Side Sea View](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Surf-247-Weligama-Deluxe-Double-Room-With-Side-Sea-View.h101827338.Hotel-Information) > > [Wind Mill Villa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Wind-Mill-Hotel.h36171069.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Jetwing-Beach.h1451532.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Kaduruketha](https://www.expedia.ca/Wellawaya-Hotels-Jetwing-Kaduruketha.h12874957.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Airport Transitt](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Grand-Airport-Transitt.h113461954.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Hunt Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Beragala-Hotels-Mount-Hunt-Resort.h111451013.Hotel-Information) > > [Panorama Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Beruwala-Hotels-Beruwala-Panorama-Hotel.h20581040.Hotel-Information) > > [Rani Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Rani-Beach-Hotel.h101747283.Hotel-Information) > > [Kitelantis Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalpitiya-Hotels-Kitelantis-Hotel-And-Resort.h31693921.Hotel-Information) > > [Palmstone Retreat - Kithulgala](https://www.expedia.ca/Kithulgala-Hotels-Palmstone-Retreat-Kithulgala.h12629851.Hotel-Information) > > [Ella Eco Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-Ella-Eco-Lodge.h11010743.Hotel-Information) > > [Terrace Green Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Terrace-Green-Hotel-Spa.h12662808.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Erandi Holiday Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Erandi-Holiday-Home.h38268558.Hotel-Information) > > [La Casa Udawalawe](https://www.expedia.ca/Embilipitiya-Hotels-La-Casa-Udawalawe.h39068049.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa With Private Plunge pool ](https://www.expedia.ca/Panadura-Hotels-Villa-With-Private-Plunge-Pool.h21651510.Hotel-Information) > > [North Gate Jaffna](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-North-Gate-By-Jetwing.h22276412.Hotel-Information) > > [Laana Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Laana-Villa.h39678361.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.ca/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > > [Miura Dutch Edge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kochchikade-Hotels-Miura-Dutch-Edge-Hotel.h16504117.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lé Maas Tota](https://www.expedia.ca/Koslanda-Hotels-Villa-Le-Maas-Tota.h100988189.Hotel-Information) > > [MICHS Beach Villa - Maggona](https://www.expedia.ca/Beruwela-Hotels-MICHS-Beach-Villa-Maggona.h44889471.Hotel-Information) > > [The River House by Asia Leisure](https://www.expedia.ca/Balapitiya-Hotels-The-River-House-By-Asia-Leisure.h10984031.Hotel-Information) > > [House of Ahasna](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-House-Of-Ahasna.h33143768.Hotel-Information) > > [Ella Sashen Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Sashen-Hotel.h22874252.Hotel-Information) > > [Goatfell](https://www.expedia.ca/Walapane-Hotels-Goatfell.h48392469.Hotel-Information)
