“Very comfortable and relaxing stay”

The owners were so accommodating, very generous and helpful

“Great place and the best hosts. Very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.”

Clean and spacious. Quiet. Welcoming. Kasun and his family were lovely and so helpful. Organised safari and taxis.

Wonderful home with kind hosts and a great dinner (string hoppers!). Big air conditioned room with a balcony. Kasum was also our guide for the national park - would recommend booking through him as our visit was great!

“Perfect stay and safari with local park ranger”

This was an absolutely perfect stay. The rooms feel new, everything worked perfectly (including instant hot water), and the hosts could not have done anything more for us! On the first night we went out for dinner and Kasun both dropped us off and picked us up free of charge. Him and his wife made us dinner the second night and breakfast on our last morning as well which were delicious. We also did a full day Yala safari with Kasun and booked directly for a very fair price. Kasun is a ranger for the Yala national park so was so knowledgeable about all the species we saw and knew all the great spots. He was very respectful of the animals and made the whole day relaxed, fun and full of good food. Even if we hadn’t seen all the animals we’d hoped to, this would have been the perfect day, but thanks to his local knowledge we saw 3 leopards, over 30 elephants and so many other animals. I highly recommend this perfect stay and safari.

“Perfect!”

Our stay was perfect, they offered us tea and coffee every day. The owners were so nice and friendly, the owner even drove us to the restaurant two days in a row and took us back to the apartment. He is also a tour guide at the Yala national park, and the best one at that! We saw 4 different leopards and all the other animals so we recommend going with him! We enjoyed our stay very much!

This is a great place. Host are amazing and the room is even better than on the picture. You should definitely go there. There is even ancient temple next to it. Amazing.

“True Sri Lankan gem”

Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you can paste directly into Booking.com. It’s long, detailed, and heartfelt, while staying natural and readable: I honestly don’t even know where to begin because my 3-night stay at Yala Grand Homestay was so perfect it left me almost speechless. This place is far more than just accommodation – it feels like a home filled with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. The owners are without any doubt some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. From the very first moment, they made me feel like part of their family. Their kindness, generosity, and attention to every small detail go far beyond anything I have experienced while traveling. They are always smiling, always ready to help, and truly passionate about making sure their guests have the best possible experience. The house itself is absolutely incredible – spacious, spotless, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by a peaceful, natural atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure, and you can really feel the love and effort that has gone into creating such a comfortable and welcoming space. One of the highlights of my stay was the safari they organized in Yala National Park. It was simply unforgettable. Everything was perfectly arranged, smooth, and professional. Thanks to them, I had an amazing safari experience that exceeded all expectations and became one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka. And the food… wow. The meals they cooked were hands down the most delicious, authentic Sri Lankan food I have ever tried. Every dish was full of flavor, freshly prepared, and made with so much care. Eating there felt like a true cultural experience, not just a meal. If you are looking for a place with exceptional hospitality, amazing food, a beautiful home, and unforgettable experiences near Yala National Park, do not hesitate for a second. Yala Grand Homestay is a true gem, and I would return here in a heartbeat. Highly, highly...

“Best accommodation ever.please try not regret”

Kasun and his wife were really lovely. Incredible food, air con rooms with hot water. Food great. Did tour of national park and saw leopards. Then did Mirissa and to Colombo. Very knowledgeable and really enjoyed our whole experience.

“Great and authentic homestay under palm trees with amazing hosts”

We loved our stay at Yala Grand Homestay. The rooms impress with tasteful interior design, the place is peacefully located under palm trees next to rice paddies and the owners are so helpful and friendly, they will make your stay a great experience. Kasun is very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan wildlife and can take you on safari if you want. He is also a guide/driver for traveling his home country and can give you great recommendations and advice. His wife is a great cook and will make you feel right at home.

“Beatiful modern quiet and comfortable accommodation with perfect hosts.”

Modern clean and comfortable large room with excellent facilities in a very safe, quiet and scenic area surrounded by rice paddies. Wonderful hosts went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable. Access to Yala is easy and the host is a top rated local guide and driver who can arrange safaris and trips to anywhere in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was delicious and a surprise birthday cake on arrival for my wife was extra special. 😀

“A home from”

Nirosha and Kasun provide a wonderful home from home, including a surprise birthday cake and celebration for me when we arrived. Kasun had already been our driver for a week, and accompanied us on a safari in Yala - a real bonus as he is a wildlife officer there. We also visited a nearby archaeological site that Nirosha helped excavate. The food was exceptional - plentiful and delicious. Especially welcoming for our teenage son - it was hard to leave!

We stayed with Kasun and Nirosha and they were amazing hosts. We were met with ginger tea and pancakes and had a big spacious room and bathroom to ourselves. Kasun organised a safari for us also where he came as out guide! He was amazing as our driver as well, he brought us to the many places we needed to go! The homestay was only about 30mins drive from Yala national park and we had a brilliant day on safari as well. They were so accommodating with everything we asked for.

“A comfortable stay”

A well-educated and lovely couple stay here who are always ready to help you when you need something.

“Very pleasant experience”

Room was very spacious (could fit up to three beds), beds were very comfortable and the general cleanliness was up to standard. Host was friendly and quick to attend to my needs. I am very satisfied with my stay at Yala Grand Homestay.
