Saffron Lake Yala

A warm welcome from staff who throughout were always helpful and very friendly. Situated on the shores of Lake Saffron they have direct access to the lakeside. We are at the hotel in the evening and enjoyed a delicious meal with some good cold beer. As we were up at 04:15 for a safari departure at 05:00 the hotel provided a very nice takeaway breakfast. We returned to the hotel at 11:30 for a shower and check out at 12:30 all very convenient. A very nice stay and would stay here again.

Janika our host was fantastic. Anything we needed no ask was too big or small. Our Safari was unforgettable and our guide knew where all the animals were. Chef made one of the best club sandwiches I’ve ever had an overall everything was just wonderful. It really was a highlight about trip to Sri Lanka.

Umesh & staff were fantastic, welcomed us in very late and immediately got us settled and fed. What made dinner even better was him bringing over the two new pups, one of which he allowed us to name. Welcoming, little Lola <3 Umesh arranged everything we needed for the safari the next day, had a breakfast for us all packed for the morning. He was even kind enough to keep the shower of the room we had been in the night before open for us when we returned later that day so we could freshen before heading to our next destination.

It’s no thrills, but doesn’t exactly what you need it to do with great hospitality.

Beautiful place. Love the atmosphere. Great staff. They are very supportive.

The agreed price vs charged price was different. Venue has lots of stray dogs and very disturbing. Need to improve the cleanliness. There weren't enough linen and towels to replace.
