The property consists of a 3 bedroom villa and a one bedroom bungalow. Each bedroom is ensuite with bathtubs and outdoor rain showers that are full of tropical plants. Both the villa and bungalow have open plan living room/kitchens and private outdoor dining areas with large teak tables.

Wow! Exceeded all our (high) expectations. Our first visit to Sri Lanka for our Honeymoon and my 30th Birthday. The communication in advance from Madu and Kristin was fantastic. They organised a transfer from the airport by Chimander in THE comfiest van. We had arrival drinks, cold towel and the owners were kind enough to invite us to celebrate Vesak at a local temple in the evening. We booked an afternoon Safari with Nelson in a HUGE truck and were lucky to see all sorts of animals including elephants, mongoose, beautiful birds and monkeys. The weather early May was mainly sunny / cloudy with a few hours of rain most days, usually in the morning. We were lucky to spend time with Jayantha whom showed us many local sites and we saw fruit bats and some very special owls! The food was INCREDIBLE and a huge highlight- we recommend the pumpkin curry, green bean curry, fruit bowl, Sri Lanka breakfast, buffalo curd and warm cinniman bananas. The actual accomodation is superb and SO clean, the outdoor shower is hot and good power but still feels tropical. The bath was pure luxuary. Sudu, the manager, was very attentive and speaks great English and was able to organise everything we needed. He was good fun and a character! There were no real negatives to the stay.

The property features river and garden views, and is 33 km from Situlpawwa. The villa also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

Its run by the lovely couple who caters to your every need. From arranging tuk tuk to organising Safari with take away breakfast (thank you)! The place they have is a real oasis among those we visited so far, hidden away, quiet, calm and perfect to relax and rest after visiting Yala park. Cabanas are near the river and surrounded by garden which provides a little safari in front of your window: tens of birds, monitor lizards, mongooses and many others. Real gem. Try it!!!

Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

A nice clean room to stay in, in between the Safaris. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the beautiful view of the lake because we got home quite late from Bundala and we left before the parks opened as we had Yala booked the next day. They arranged a breakfast for us to take to the park. The prices were unbeatable, especially with the discount I get on booking.

    Our stay here was amazing! The hotel is located in the beautiful countryside. There is a lake around it and buffalos. The room was very big and clean. But what makes this hotel the best is the staff! Everyone was so nice and friendly! They organised a romantic dinner outisde for us, we felt like in a fancy restaurant! The food was just delicious in a reasonable price. We highly recommend choosing this hotel!

    At Saffron Lake Yalla place, the standout feature was the exceptional service. The staff's care, attention to detail, and friendliness made our stay truly memorable. The cozy lakeside bungalows offered a peaceful retreat, and the delicious, fresh food added to the overall experience. For those who appreciate outstanding service and a warm atmosphere, this destination is worth considering for a relaxing getaway.

    The warm welcome from the staff set the tone for the rest of the stay. Start is extremely warm, friendly and helpful. The place is beautifully located in the rice fields, close to Yale national park. The pool is great to relax after a safari. Cottages are cozy, warm water boiler in the shower works perfectly well, beds are very comfortable and have a mosquito net covering them. Food is freshly prepared and tastes brilliantly. The hotel manager arranged a taxi for us to get to our next destination, which was super kind.
