Great guest house with a nice room and spacious bathroom. The location is great and the owners are incredible. Not only did they offer to pick me up from the bus station but also made sure to help me organize a safari and to pick nice restaurants to eat at. If you want to visit Yala National Park do yourself a favor and stay there!!!!

The host was incredibly friendly and helped us out with any matter we had and also organized an amazing safari for us. After we arrived he took us for a little bird tour, which was really nice. He treated us with a fresh coconut, fruits and little snacks. The hospitality was outstanding. The room and generally the whole property was clean and comfy. We felt really welcomed and enjoyed our stay! We can definitely recommend this awesome place! Thank you very much for everything, we will come back! :-)

Very nice, very calm property. It is close to Debarawewa lake which I found more beautiful than Tissa Lake with the birds and water buffalos. The owner is very friendly and extremely helpful and he offered to take me to and from Bus station which is really nice. The homestay is approx 2 km from Tissa Lake, you can take a tuk tuk or the owner can help you with transport, for me I prefer to walk. They can also help you with booking Yala Safari It is a great value for money

It was a wonderful stay, from the first day I arrived the attention of the owners was incredible, they helped me with all the questions I had and helped me book my safari, which by the way is a very serious and good company. The room was spectacular with impressive views, very relaxing. I spent some incredible days accompanied by this beautiful family. The food they served us for both breakfast and dinner was delicious, the truth is that I would have liked to stay a couple more days

Offering a restaurant and free bikes, MOON LIGHT Guest House is located just 1.1 km from the Tissamaharama Bus Station and 3.2 km from the beautiful Tissa Lake. Free WiFi access is available in this self-catering accommodation.

The moment we stepped into the property, we asked Sanjeewa if we could stay for extra day. He is the most hospitable, kind, and caring host. The property is pristinely clean with large rooms with very comfortable beds and good hot shower. Sanjeewa went above and beyond to delight us in indeed very special Sri Lankan meals. He also booked a driver/guide for Yala NP, Bodica (Bodi) Ravindra who was excellent driver, guide (yes, we saw a leopard) and his vehicle was very well maintained, clean with good tires. Very memorable experience!

    The hotel is located behind the resort. It is away from the traffic of the main road so it's quiet. The hosts were so nice and hospitable. The owners personally came to greet me. When I asked about breakfast options, they said there was no breakfast but they offered a rice-based snack which was very nice and appreciated.

    Wow our host was the best! He was so incredibly helpful. Fixed the aircon right away, helped us with repairs on the tuktuk and brought us cool drinks and coffee exactly when we needed it😁. The rooms are big and comfortable, with a large bed. Nice shower, quiet location. Lastly we booked an amazing safari in the National Park @ the guesthouse. Couldn't be more satisfied with this accommodation!

    Indika is a very charming host and also a great chef. We had dinner twice and enjoyed both times. The room is as shown in online photos with a big comfortable bed. When the restaurant/reception area is completed it will only enhance the experience. Indika organised our Yala Safari, the bus to Colombo and even drove us to the bus stand in his tuk tuk. We wish he and his family all the best for his dream boutique hotel.

    Absolutely amazing hosts - really helpful! We were greeted on arrival by a cold king coconut to drink and a cold washcloth, fresh fruits were brought to us during our stay and we booked a great safari through them. The room is a nice size and clean. The accommodation is really pretty, surrounded by plants, and a great location near some local restaurants and an area where fruit bats live. You can see thousands of them nesting in the trees. Wifi is good and bed is large.

    Shanta was an amazing host. We stayed for 2 nights at his place. Really quiet and peaceful house and surroundings. He helped us with everything. We did the Bundalla safari and went to Kirinda beach. Also Shanta made a delicious meal for us with different kind of curry's and also buffalo curd. We highly recommend to stay at Yaye Guesthouse. We enjoyed every moment of it.
