Die Besitzer waren so freundlich und hilfsbereit! Selten so viel Gastfreundschaft erlebt.
Ich habe eine günstige Safari Tour über das Hostel gebucht. Hat super funktioniert.
Das baumhaus ist total cool und der Blick auf den Fluss und die ganze Atmosphäre sind ein Abenteuer!
Da es direkt am Fluss ist und nach vorne offen, hat man natürlich viele Tiere in der Unterkunft und es ist nachts sehr laut.
Das sollte einem natürlich vorher bewusst sein. Die Betten und die Moskito Netze im Mehrbettzimmer sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen und es wirkte nicht so sauber. Beim buchen darauf achten, ob man das Hostel oder das baumhaus bucht.

The location on the river was awesome saw Monkeys and crocodiles from my bed and the owner was amazing and great at planning everything for us!
I stayed in the dorm and while it's not the most comfortable and alot closer to camping then a hotel it was 100% worth it! You sleep in the jungle and wake up to Monkeys playing!

I stay in a cabana with a beautiful view of the jungle and a river. You can see some monkeys, crocodiles and birds from your bed. It’s a magical place and the family are very nice and helpful. The food also was very tasty and homemade. Everything was perfect

The host is a great man, showing you around with his tuk tuk and the wife cooks delicious kottu roti that you don't want to miss! The location is right next to a river, close to the town centre.
He can organise a great safari with an experience guide always in contact with other drivers to try to catch as many animals as possible... Highly recommend if you want to feel like you are staying at friend's place.

Beautiful place, you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. The owner was very nice and the staff was very helpful. They even drove me around without any charge. When you come in you get tea and juice for free and I did the safari there to for a fair price.
Absolutely nothing.

Great location at a river and beneath the trees, feels like one is sleeping in the middle of the jungle, calm, central, cheap, mosquito net
No hot shower and some ants crawling around (but that's nearly everywhere in Sri Lanka like that, better get used to it :)

Very nice big room open on the river. Clean and very confortable bed. Fan, adaptateur, mosquito net and also mosquito incense sticks are provided.
Amazing staff and good affordable food.
The owner even give you an evening free tour around the lake to see the birds and bats going around. He organize safari if you need for a good price too. Highly recommend it!

jungle life and sound of the nature
the tree house is just open to the wild so it needs to be protected from mice, land monitor and insects.

I had a lovely stay at River Side Cabana. The staff is very friendly and willing to give you a nice stay, the rooms are really great and beautiful, by a river with trees in which you can see monkeys, peacocks, birds and even crocodiles if you are lucky !
The owner gave me a better room for the same price because it was available and wanted me to have a good time ☺
The food made by his wife is delicious, the location is good and calm, and they have the cutest doggs I have met.
Highly recommanded ! ☺☺

The host was amazing. He was always making sure that things were tip top. He also made everything related to safari in Yala very easy. You basically just say that you wanna go, and he takes care of the rest for a very fair price. Finally, staying in the tree house dormitory was a great and unusual experience that I can highly recommend.

We got a free upgrade from a normal room to a cabin on the riverside, with views of the river. Good food and they arranged the safari trip well, with a relaxed driver. Very attractive looking cabanas in a relaxed environment.
You sleep sort of outside, which was nice, but a bit noisy. Be aware of this.

Our host was very caring, he showed us a place to watch bats and even picked us up again(free of charge!). The dinner was really good, we could eat as much as we want. The location as itself is beautiful, though it is directly at a river.
The room didn’t smell well and the bathroom was not that hygienic.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The highlight: We saw a huge crocodile swim in the river just underneath our treehouse! Waking up to the sounds of birds was fantastic.

Great location, cool treehouses too! Friendly host & great breakfast - unreal value for money!
Dark room, bathroom door didn’t shut properly & some bugs were coming through the open window in there to the room. Otherwise was excellent - we paid £5 for our room AND breakfast so I mean can you really complain?! Host was v friendly too

We stayed for 2 nights at one of the river facing tree huts. The owner Dimithu and his family took really good care of us! He was flexible on changing the pre-booked room to another one we preferred even for a cheaper rate. We also booked a full day Yala Safari through him for a reasonable price and with a very experienced driver. We fully recommend to stay at this place.
