The location is perfect to do the Yala Safari and has a good restaurant in front, also the staff help me with the Yala safari and the attention was good
Is was really hard to take a shower, the shower facilities need an upgrade

The apartment is very clean, large and comfortable with a beautiful yard and kind owners. It is in very quiet area.
The only bad thing is that there are no dark curtains and in the morning there's too much light in the room.

The best stay close to Yala National Park that you will not regret booking. The host family was very nice and hospitable. We also ate one of their delicious home cooked meals for dinner and had amazing breakfast. The rooms were spacious and clean and the hosts are willing to go above and beyond for you. Their hospitality and kindness is amazing which made our stay here so comfortable and great.

Quiet garden location, comfortable and spacious room with hot water. Plentiful and varied breakfast served on the patio. Dinner offered each night though
there are plenty of other restaurants within easy walking distance.
Facilities were not as described (importantly, and disappointingly - no tea and coffee maker in room!) A temporary solution was quickly found. Likewise, scooter hire was unavailable locally so the host rented is his own scooter.

Very Poor
The hosts were friendly and communicative.
The accommodation was inexpensive.
I was really hoping for a pleasant stay, especially since the hosts seemed friendly and communicative. However, the actual condition of the accommodation was deeply disappointing.
The most serious issue was the overwhelming mold and lack of ventilation. The smell was unbearable, and despite keeping the small window open all night, there was no improvement—we barely slept. The mattress and pillows were stained and moldy, making it clear they had not been properly cleaned or replaced in a long time.
The general cleanliness was unacceptable. The ceilings in both the bedroom and bathroom had large stains, spider webs had not been cleaned, and we saw spiders and cockroaches in the room. The curtains and most surfaces were visibly dirty, showing a clear lack of proper maintenance.
Additionally, the hosts arranged a safari and a transfer to Ella for us. While they were inexpensive, both experiences were disappointing. The safari was rushed—the driver sped through the park, only stopping for a few seconds at each animal without any explanations. Although it was advertised as a half-day safari, we spent just four hours in the national park. The transfer to Ella was even worse, as the driver was driving recklessly, making us feel unsafe the entire trip.
I also noticed that the hosts tend to respond to negative reviews by calling guests "bad people." I want to make it clear that I’m leaving this review not to harm their business, but because guests deserve to know what to expect. Their 9.3 booking review score is completely misleading—at least for the condition of our room. Instead of dismissing feedback, I truly hope they take this as an opportunity to improve. No guest should have to endure such conditions.
As fellow hosts, we understand how important guest comfort and safety are, and we believe this place can do much better.

The Host an his family were super nice and welcomed us with tea and coffee.
The room had a well working AC, hot water and a mosquito net.
The included breakfast was good and they even habe us a lunchpaket when we had to leave at 5 am in the morning for the safari.
The Host offers a safari himself.
In the evening they cooked very much and delicious food on our request.
If you are planning to go on safari in the Yala Nationalpark, i would definitely recommend to stay here.

Fantastic value for a great private room! Clean, a comfortable bed, aircon, hot showers, and a huge breakfast waiting when I returned from safari! Lovely family who helped organised safari & transport to Ella as well, and got me prices much better than other hotels were offering.

The owner and his family was very nice and helpful. We received the as welcome gift. At the end of our stay, the owner went with us to the bus station, and explained us everything (and offered us bananas for the road).
The room is fit for 3 people, quite large. The shower has hot water. There is A/C in the room. There was a mosquito net.
The owner arranged quickly a safari (which we enjoyed), and woke up early to give us our lunchboxes.
WiFi was working well.

It was an amazing place to stay, the family is lovely and cares a lot about you and any needs you may have. We wanted to rent a motorbike and they provided it for us, they also arranged a taxi transfer to our next destination. The place is in a relaxing area, with a beautiful garden, and the room is spacious with comfortable beds. Highly recommended!

Friendly host, prepared take away breakfast before 4.30am safari pick up, advised on local direct bus to Ella. Great breakfast on the day after safari.
Poor lights in bathroom (felt like in a cave), double bed bit broken and squeked with every move, short blankets for tall ones (180cm+), not very tidy
