“We stayed at lake near Yala for one night and it was amazing. Such a beautiful spot, tranquil, clean and the owner could”

We had a great stay at this place. The owner went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome, always making sure we had everything we needed. His kindness and hospitality truly stood out. On top of that, his kottu is absolutely delicious: one of the best we’ve had! A wonderful experience overall, we highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again.

“Stunning lake views, warm hospitality, and an unforgettable Yala safari”

A beautiful location with a stunning view of the lake. The room is spacious, with good air conditioning and a lovely warm shower. It’s set on the owner’s private property, surrounded by a gorgeous garden filled with palm trees and even a mango tree. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. He arranged our safari in Yala, and it was an amazing experience. The driver did his best to find all the animals for us and he actually succeeded! Highly recommend this place!

“It was a place of respite that worked well considering we had it as our 3rd option due to scheduling”

The breakfast was good. The location was great! The host was very accommodating, and tried his best to meet our needs..especially since some.of our requests were without notice. Grateful for his efforts.

The location and the view, the garden, was beautiful. The staff was willing to help and answer your questions via WhatsApp and in person as well.

Clean and beautiful views. Air con and WiFi. Everything you need ! And we also got breakfast in the morning. Peaceful location. Loved it and the host is the kindest.

“Not what we expected”

Nice clean rooms. The location was not what we expected, not walking distance to anything and felt very isolated because there's only two rooms at this accomodation so there was no atmosphere at all. The walkway down to our room from the road was also very dark and a bit difficult to navigate through a garden. The owner charged us for the water he gave us alongside the breakfast that was included but didn't tell us it would cost extra until the end. His English wasn't very good so it made it difficult to organize things with him.

This hotel is perfect for staying to make Safari in Yala. The room is very clean, the owner is very caring, helpful and kind. He arranged private safari tour for us for reasonable price and we saw leopard. He also arranged few transfers for us. Breakfast was also very good. The atmosphere is very quiet and peaceful, we liked everything! Highly recommend

Excellent location close the lake. Calm and quiet place to relax

Nice view, great service.

“A slice of paradise, a stone throw away from Yala.”

Amit is a lovely host with a stunning home to match. We can’t fault the cleanliness and comfort of the room we stayed in, not to mention his generous and hospitable personality. Amit greeted us with welcome beverages and arranged a private tour to Yala park with a packed breakfast. We chose to stay with Amit as his home is within close proximity to the safari park. After our safari morning, Amit organised a taxi for us to transport onto our next location. We wish we could have stayed longer! We would strongly recommend staying with Amit :)

“Wonderful memories for honeymoon.”

A fantastic honeymoon stay, the owner is friendly has a lot of hospitality, he prepared us food and also booked a private jeep trip into the national park. The location is right next to the lake, it is a very private.
