A wonderful host set the tone for our great stay here. On checking in we were given a welcoming Coconut which was so refreshing after our trip from Ella. The room was clean and spacious with excellent air con. We enjoyed all meals there - lunch, dinner and breakfast -during our brief stay. They arranged an excellent Yala National Park tour for us at an extremely competitive price. Our driver Alim was fantastic and made every effort to ensure that we got the best value for our day. Unlike some drivers in the park, he did not rush but made sure we experienced the best day possible. As so many other have commented the host took us to the bus station and made sure we got the correct bus for our forward journey to Matara. This is a terrific place to stay and made all the better by a host who has his customer's interest at heart. Thank you - Peter and Merlinda Miles

We had a very experienced guide and drivers who allowed us to see the rarest animals. Mithila is available, reactive, effective and super friendly. We recommand at 10000%

    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.
