Coconut Island Yala

Buiten het centrum op landweg heet rustig, goede badkamer. Slechte wifi en slechte verlichting in de kamer. Goed ontbijt, goed bed, Groot balkon. Erg vriendelijke eigenaar.

Niets

La amplitud de la habitación

Que no ten̈is AC

La casa es preciosa, la habitación espaciosa, todo muy limpio. Una terraza espectacular.

Nos ofrecieron cenar ahí, pero en el precio de la cena, elevado para Sri Lanka, no incluye la bebida.

Prachtig uitzicht, vriendelijke eigenaar

Het is wel primitief. Mist op de beneden kamer wel een airco

De eigenaar was zo ontzettend aardig, hij deed zoveel moeite voor ons. Lekker sapje maken, hij heeft voor ons gekookt en ontbijt gemaakt. De jackfruit boom voor zijn huis was precies rijp en heeft hij opengemaakt en aan ons aangeboden. Hij heeft ook een ontbijtbox gemaakt en de safari geregeld naar Yala! Het verblijf staat midden tussen de rijstvelden en palmbomen. Het is een mini paradijsje!

Eigenlijjk was alles prima. Ik zou zelf een koeling wel fijn hebben gevonden voor een flesje water.

Super logement ! Le propriétaire est très gentil et sa cuisine est plus qu’excellente! L'emplacement est super de part la vue qu’il offre mais aussi sa localisation pour les safaris. Je recommande vivement!

Jolie chambre dans une maison en bois. Dans l'ensemble assez bien et assez bien placée mais désagréablement surprise par la note finale des repas pris sur place. Je vous conseille de demander le tarif avant de commander.

Le tarif des repas et du safari

Nature et jolie décoration

Die Unterkunft ist einfach, aber für 1-3 Nächte vollkommen ausreichend. Frühstück ist ausreichend und auf Wunsch bereitet der Gastgeber auch Abendessen zu und organisiert eine Safari. Er ist sehr bemüht um seine Gäste. Falls man mit einem Tuktuk/Scooter/Auto kommt, es gibt eine eigene abgesperrten Parkplatz.

Hôte très agréable et serviable, très belle vue, logement atypique.

Nous avons trouvé une blatte sur la moustiquaire. Chambre trop sombre. Je n’était pas à l’aise dans cette chambre

The upper unit verandah has a nice view out over the rice fields and across to the Stupa.

The room facilities are very basic. No bedside light, no desk for computer, power points in inconvenient positions, no shelves, hooks or space to hang or store clothes. There is no bar fridge, so water etc can't be kept cold. .There is little or no soundproofing between the upper and lower units., so if both units occupied you'll hear every word or noise from other unit. The meals were quite ordinary and were very much overpriced, when compared to similar meals from restaurants in nearby Tissamahara town.. The kitchen in which the meals are prepared wouldn't pass health standards. The tap water isn't drinkable, yet the proprietor tried to charge top price for bottled water. No UHT milk is provided for tea/coffee Overall, the unit felt a bit grubby and poorly maintained. I stayed there as a solo male traveller and it was just bearable,, but i wouldn't stay there if travelling as a couple. Other places in Tissa would be nicer and represent better value.

L’hote est très accueillant, toujours prêt a rendre service, le logement est très nature et cocooning

Prix des repas un peu cher ...

The room was nice, the bed was very good, the owner did everything himself, he was a very nice host, very kind and gives you a nice welcome drink, it was clean.

The shower could use a bit more pressure and one of the 2 rooms had airconditioning and we had the one without, if you can handle the heat, it's ok, but I couldn't and had to go to another place to stay the next night. He is planning to add airconditioning to the second room as well, but now it's not there yet.

Location, accommodation and meals cooked by Lal, super host.

Proprietario gentilissimo, molto disponibile, ci ha preparato una cena davvero buona e abbiamo chiacchierato

Camas cómodas y lavabo muy limpio. El dueño es de lo mejor, nos preparó una cena buenísima y también el desayuno a las 5 de mañana para llevárnoslo al safari. Sitio encantador y muy agradable

Todo bien

Es un lugar con mucho encanto. La cabaña es muy agradable y estaba todo limpio. La cama enorme y muy cómoda. El baño muy grande y limpio. La atención fue excepcional. Está rodeado de naturaleza y hay un lago cerca que es precioso y lleno de aves. Nos prepararon una cena y desayuno acorde a nuestras preferencias (vegetariano). Está cerca del parque natural de Yala para hacer un Safari.

Todo, alojamiento súper recomendable para hospedarse si vas a hacer el Safari, nos encantó y el anfitrión Muy amable y servicial nos preparó el desayuno para llevar al safari a las 5:00 de la mañana

Nos gustó todo

Location was 10/10. Loved how it faced the rice paddy field and was in a quiet tranquil location. In addition, the Homestay owner was very very helpful. He helped arrange the car from Ella to Tissamaharama, the full day safari and also the car to our next destination. All for a very good price. As a side note, we managed to see TWO leopards, a bear, elephants and lots of others on our trip so we highly recommend based on his safari contact!!

The sheets could have been a little bit more fresh smelling.

Location

Not comfortable due to warm condition in the night

Nice location with a stunning view! The beds were comfy and a huge bathroom! The owner was very friendly without being too assertive, for breakfast he made hoppers, pani pol and fruits in his super cozy garden! Really recommend this place!

Really nothing!

Excellent hospitality, the host is a great person and a great appetite.

Lal the owner is absolutely lovely and couldn’t do more for us! He cooked us an incredible vegetarian dinner and prepared breakfast for us to take on the safari! The room was very comfortable and the location is beautiful and very close to Yala!

We enjoyed our stay at Coconut Island Yala. The surroundings and the house are super beautiful. Also the host helps you with any booking you want to do during your stay in Yala.

Lots of mosquitos in the area

Lovely garden! Lovely owner! Cute room.

It really felt like staying in the jungle, with monkeys and lots of birds around, surrounded by coconut palm trees. Waking up to the sound of birds and the chant of the nearby buddhist temple was a lovely experience. Our host (the owner) was very nice and welcoming, attending to our every need and preparing delicious breakfast and dinner. He built the place himself with taste, surrounding it with flowers and plants, and growing his own vegetables and rice (which tastes very nice). The place was clean, with very comfortable beds with great mosquito net, and with very good AC. The shower was nice. The wifi was good too. A nice lake (Yoda) is about 25 mins walking distance, and it's full of different birds. I definitely recommend this place!

Nothing

Good size room and bathroom, does everything you need for a short stay to visit yala. Great view of the rice field, very peaceful. Host is such a lovely person, good to chat to and cooked us vegan dinner as we requested - it was extremely tasty, super generous portions and had great variety!!

Lovely, friendly owner. Just outside of village on a quieter lane. Surrounded by coconut trees and rice fields.

Super welcoming host, who has created a little paradise from the botttom of his heart. Very humbled and peaceful place to stay at in the middle of a stunning green piece of land, in front of a rice field. Near to the city center though. Room has everything you need.

Good location for safari’s Wonderful host!!

Super friendly host, who also cooked us a nice Sri Lankan dinner both nights and got up very early to prepare our breakfast for our safari. Room was nice and comfortable.

Very nice accommodation, large bedroom and large bathroom with a nice terrace. The host is very welcoming and cooks super well! We had a great time. And best wifi in Sri Lanka !

Beautiful tree house, great location and delicious food! Lahl built this place and takes care of it single handedly, he welcomes you with fresh juice and makes sure you stay goes perfectly. Lahl cooked amazing food for us every night we were there and the breakfast are outstanding. Better than any hotel we were in tbh. We were so lucky to choose this place, it really added so much to our experience. Thank you so much!

My tuk tuk broke on my way to the hotel. I called him, and he came over to help me reach the hotel. He even helped to get my tuk tuk repaired. He's such a dedicated guy. Mr. Lal. He is a wonderful chef as well. The room is big enough to accommodate 3 people. The view is excellent.....

Good location, walking distance from bus stand and the city but in a calm area. Very convenient to go to Yala safari. Owner is very nice. Food is very good (we had rice & curry dinner twice and breakfast) and served in a lovely garden with nice view.

+ a bit outside the busy town + green rice fields at backyard + friendly owner, very good chef also :)

- door/terrace unfortunately is facing the street not backyard - you hear everything trough the walls - toilet has only curtain to room, so odours appear

The room was much more beautiful and bigger than expected. Very comfortable and lots of space. Also the bathroom is huge. Lovely balcony and garden to chill and look over the rice fields. Host was very kind and ready for any questions we had. We had one breakfast and one lunch, he buys everything fresh and it was very good food. Overall very nice stay!

Wi-Fi was not great, often did not work but we think that is just normal here haha

Beautiful house and surroundings, lots of monkeys and beautiful birds around. The view from the room is incredible. The host is warmful and can provide lots of tips to visit the surroundings, can also arrange food for you. Thank you!

The host was so friendly and made sure that we had the most beautiful stay. He could freshly for us and it was really delicious.
