Moon Light Guest House

Great breakfast and dinner on site. Gourgeous location looking out over rice fields. Owners sunset tour of the local lakes was also great and highlighted his love of nature.

We had an amazing stay at the Moon Light Guest Hotel which included a safari in Yala national park. Sanjeewa was such a helpful and kind host, making sure we were well fed and also helping us with taxis.

My stay at Moon Light Guest House was truly unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, the host, Sanjeewa was incredibly kind, caring, and welcoming. He went above and beyond to ensure I had the best possible experience, and his genuine hospitality is what makes this place so special. I have never experienced such warmth, generosity, and genuine care from a host. The guest house is set amongst peaceful rice fields, creating a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere. It was the perfect place to relax while visiting Yala National Park. Sanjeewa organised my safari and all of my ongoing transport in Sri Lanka, making everything effortless. He even took the time to show me some sights around Tissamaharama, which made my stay even more memorable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I always felt genuinely looked after. The food was absolutely exceptional—fresh, delicious, and clearly prepared with love and care. The best food I have had in Sri Lanka. This guest house offers incredible value for money and far exceeded anything I expected. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re visiting Yala National Park, this is the perfect place to stay. Thank you for making my stay so special.

Owner does his best to make sure needs are met. I was allowed to switch rooms after an insect fiasco. There was certainly effort on his part and you don't always get that. They are a pleasant family and the intention is there. Food is high quality and volume. They salvaged the stay by allowing me to switch rooms and with their kindness at the end, otherwise I would rate it below average. It is passable for the price.

Owner's English is a challenge when negotiating safari tours. There is clearly a set elevator pitch but questions were not adequately answered, they were almost avoided. I felt pressured in all of our dealings. Air conditioning is extremely weak. Woke up absolutely covered in bug bites. They need mosquito nets badly. First bed I had was like sleeping on a flat board. Owner messaged me multiple times over the next several days after I left to arrange to take me to the airport - again the pressure was constantly on.
