外に出ると猿がたくさん。大きな雉のような鳥、イグワナまで見れました。ホテルはとても清潔で、夜は星がものすごく綺麗でした。

A very nice clean room in the Safari, near the Yala Safari gate (not the main one). A very polite and pleasant staff, the food was tasty and we saw a varan near our house. The stay was very nice, thank you so much!

入住便捷性:8分,酒店人員會開着吉普車到馬路能開到的盡頭接我們去酒店,提前感受一下顛簸的感覺。 安全:9分,附近都有電網覆蓋,沒啥問題 環境:10分,環境非常特別,身處熱帶雨林深處的感覺,且附近時不時會有孔雀出沒,房子後面就是一大片平原,遠處羣山環繞,還有小湖泊。

First and foremost, this is a genuine review! This hotel is highly recommended for trips to Yala Park. 👍 Next, let me share the details: The hotel is very close to Yala Park, but requires a bit of bushwalking to get there. Be sure to contact the hotel in advance for pick-up, as chartered vehicles often have trouble finding the exact location. The person who met us was the hotel manager, very friendly and service-minded. 👍 We booked two rooms, and when we were taken to our rooms, we noticed one had been recently painted and still had a strong odor. After some discussion, they added two beds to the other room free of charge and refunded the room fee. Honestly, even in a foreign country with limited communication, the hotel was very proactive in addressing and resolving the issue. It was a heartwarming experience, and it made our nights in the bush even more reassuring. 😌 Also, their dinner was delicious and reasonably priced. (We arrived late, so unfortunately, we didn't get to take any photos of the hotel.)

The room was clean, cozy, and had a forest view. Staff were friendly and quick to provide assistance. The dishes provided were decent. It was fair value for the location. I’d recommend it for a short stay.

The schedule was a bit tight, and we had to wait until late at night to get to the hotel. It would have been better to get there earlier. The way in was similar to that in the zoo.

We chose this accommodation for our early morning safari at Yala National Park. The location was a bit difficult to find, so we had to inform the staff in advance to pick us up, but since it was close to our next day's itinerary, we didn't mind. The staff were very friendly, offering welcome drinks and helping us book a jeep for the next day's safari. The process was quick and easy. The villas are nestled in the forest, with simple amenities and clean rooms. Great value!
