Very lovely, kind and friendly family. Everything was clean. My family and me felt very well there the whole time! They have a nice garden to relax. The owner who is also the safari driver is a very experienced safari driver and does this job already for about 7-8years and know the sports very well to watch the animals. Staying there and entering the yala np from the north of Block I makes you be the only one there on the road. If you enter from the main entrance in Tisse, you will have 20 other Safari cars in front of you who are queueing up to se the animals. All in one, Senitha is a great place to stay and do your safari in yala np. In

    The hosts were absolutely fantastic, very warm and welcoming. Kapila's knowledge about the flora and fauna in Yala National Park is top level and we would highly recommend doing your safari with him. The rooms are very spacious, the beds are super comfortable and the hotel is in a very quiet spot so you are guaranteed a good night sleep. The garden is beautiful with lots of bird life around too. Highly recommend staying here!

    The host family is very nice. The young daughter speak a very good english and looks eager to train it and talk about their culture and traditions). The food I had was really good and they also greeted me with a fresh welcome juice. They let me help and Watch the dinner making and it was very pleasant. The rooms are big, very clean and Probably recently renewed (the a/c system seemed pretty new). The area is out of the city centre, but it is ist to get there in 20 minutes by walk.

    I loved the authenticity of the place and the people here. Chilled backpacker vibes. Roberto is a great host ensuring a very warm welcome to guests offering tea etc . Loved the rustic architecture , very much in tune to surrounding Nature complimented with the animals on site. Lodge is set by the river so you can go for a dip and cool down. And ample space for you to relax, read and do yoga.
