La stanza è l'odore al suo interno
Siamo stati in questa struttura solo una notte, struttura molto comoda per fare i safari che possono organizzarti direttamente loro. Sono stati veramente gentili in tutto, tanto da accompagnarci anche alla stazione degli autobus il giorno del check out
Peaceful environment, cleanliness, food
We had a pleasant experience, and everything met our expectations. Thank you for your hospitality!
Everything was very good except little far from Kataragama
Unser Aufenthalt im Serenity Lake Resort Yala war fantastisch. Das Essen war hervorragend, die Atmosphäre wunderschön und das gesamte Personal vom ersten Moment an unglaublich aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Sie halfen uns nicht nur bei der Organisation unserer Rückfahrt mit dem Bus, begleiteten uns zur Haltestelle und warteten dort mit uns, sondern planten auch unsere Safari und brachten uns zu einigen nahegelegenen Orten, die wir besuchen wollten. Genau diese Details sind entscheidend. Wir sind unglaublich dankbar für die Gastfreundschaft und die liebevolle Betreuung. Wir werden dieses Hotel in Zukunft auf jeden Fall wieder buchen und können es jedem, der die Gegend besucht, wärmstens empfehlen.
O espaço tem um incrível jardim, zona de piscina e balcão para o lago com muito potencial
Deixou de ter manutenção e limpeza há muito tempo. Quartos sujos, degradados, com tomadas a cair e sem lençol de cima na cama, apenas uma manta (estavam 38°).
La amabilidad dueños,las vistas.
Quizas los insectos resto fue muy satisfactorio.
La piscina y la tranquilidad para dormir. La cena estuvo abundante y muy buena. El chico que nos atendió siempre pendiente de nosotros.
The breakfasts, the location, and the pool, the staff and the scenery were all great!
Sehr schön am Ufer des Sees gelegene Unterkunft. Tolle Aussicht, Tierbeobachtungen möglich und nah zum Yala Nationalpark. Der Pool ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr schön. Wir haben eine Ganztagstour in den Yala Nationalpark über das Hotel gebucht. Was soll ich sagen, eine sehr gute Entscheidung. Der Fahrer ist sehr sicher gefahren und war sehr freundlich. Der Manager und das Personal: sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!
Tipp: An Mückenspray denken!
Amazing Stay with Unforgettable Safari Experience! We had a wonderful stay at Seranity Lake Resort. The place is peaceful, clean, and very relaxing. Dileepa was extremely helpful and took care of everything from the moment we arrived. His hospitality was outstanding and he made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. He also arranged the Yala safari for us, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to see a leopard, elephants, and many other animals. It was a dream come true! Highly recommend this resort for anyone visiting Yala. Thank you again for the great service and warm hospitality. We will definitely come back!
Le lieu est splendide, au calme avec les oiseaux pour compagnie.
Le restaurant n’était pas super bon, sauf le petit-déjeuner.
Location is absolutely beautiful. amazing view facing the lake. Staff was so friendly and attentive. Food was tasty and overall experience is great. Pool was nice and clean. I will definitely visit again.
“We had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room and overall atmosphere were very clean and beautifully maintained. The food and drinks were prepared perfectly and tasted amazing. Being located near the lake adds an extra touch of beauty and calmness to the place. It truly made our visit even more special. We would definitely love to come back again and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!”

Personeel en ligging. Mooi uitzicht. Zwembad. Airco. Bedden lagen goed. Prijs kwaliteit prima.
De leguaan tussen plafond en dak die s nachts actief werd: kleine reparatie en dier kan er niet meer in. Zeer bereid om biertjes te halen, maar niet op voorraad. Beetje snuisterig: ramen niet schoon , badkamer schoon, maar met wat antieke onderdelen zoals spiegel die vervangen kunnen worden
Als we deze review hadden geschreven na 2 dagen, had het een 9 geweest. Personeel was super aardig, heerlijke locatie.
Omdat we zo tevreden waren wilde we 1 dag bijboeken. Helaas hadden ze ons niet verteld dat er savonds een groep voor een feest kwam. Hierdoor was overdag het personeel amper bereikbaar, moesten we uren wachten op ons eten en was het savonds en snachts erg lawaaierig met dronken mensen die op onze kamerdeur klopten/binnenkwamen (onze fout voor niet goed dichtdoen) en tot 4 uur sochtends luide muziek.
Personale molto gentile e disponibile, cena ottima. Ci hanno organizzato anche io safari che è stato molto bello.
A parte il personale gentile e l’organizzazione del safari, tutto dovrebbe essere un po’ rivisto. La camera soprattutto: c’era una puzza continua di chiuso e muffa nella camera da letto, nel bagno non parliamone. Non si poteva stare in bagno dalla puzza di marcio e muffa che c’era. Ho dormito malissimo e sono stata nauseata per tutto il giorno seguente. Spero che migliorino questo in quanto è un resort con un bel potenziale, hanno una bella piscina e sono vicino al lago, ma non è per niente curato. Inoltre, gli asciugamani forniti erano sporchi.
Rien
Ce sont des chambres insalubres , sales , qui sentent l'urine. Nous avons dû changer d'hôtels à 20h
La proximité pour aller au parc national, la piscine , le jardin avec une terrasse surélevée, le hamac…
Die Unterkunft war sehr angenehm, geräumig, komfortabel und makellos. WLAN und Klimaanlage funktionierten. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und ausgezeichnet. Der Gastgeber nahm uns mit auf eine Safari, die hervorragend organisiert und durchgeführt wurde. Er nahm uns auch mit auf eine nächtliche Seentour und Vogelbeobachtung, ein wunderschönes und unvergessliches Erlebnis. Er war freundlich, ermutigend und hatte stets gute Ratschläge parat. Insgesamt ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Ich kann diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!
Номера были чистыми и просторными, терраса — приятной, расположение — близко к озеру, а персонал помог нам спланировать сафари, что нас очень порадовало. Они смогли сразу же найти генератор и приготовить ужин, несмотря на отключение электричества.
Avec une vue imprenable sur le lac et un flot constant de magnifiques oiseaux à observer, c'était un excellent endroit où séjourner. La gérante et cuisinière, Dilipa, était excellente ; elle était gentille et à l'écoute de tous nos besoins. Sa cuisine était également excellente !
People are really nice with a smile. Close to the lake. They can easily find you Yala park safari. Good dinner and breakfast. Nice swimming pool.
Mooie plek aan het meer, een vriendelijke servicegerichte gastheer. We hebben ook genoten van het zwembad na een lange safaridag! Deze dag was ook heel goed geregeld! Onder begeleiding van de gastheer hebben we nog een wandeling langs het meer gemaakt. Prachtig!
De communicatie was wat moeizaam, we werden niet altijd goed begrepen. En ondanks dat ze een restaurant hebben (prima eten overigens!) was er niets van drinken voorradig. Er werd op bestelling ingekocht in het dorp. Dat voelde wat ongemakkelijk.
Los empleados fueron muy amables y serviciales. Excelente ubicación y un ambiente tranquilo. La comida cumplió con mis expectativas.
La gentilezza e disponibilità dei proprietari. Mi hanno cambiato la stanza quando gli ho fatto vedere la muffa e ci hanno accompagnato a cena. L'aiuto per l'organizzazione del safari a Yala sicuramente positivo
Per il resto avrebbe bisogno di una rimodernata. Difficile farsi una doccia in quanto il doccino sparava vapore acqueo, la piscina era inagibile per quanto torbida era l'acqua E la cucina discutibile, tanto che pur avendo la cena inclusa abbiamo preferito mangiare altrove
Dieses kleine Cottage mit atemberaubender Aussicht liegt versteckt am Ende des Yoda-Sees. Dank des angeschlossenen Sees können Sie eine Vielzahl von Vögeln und Eidechsen beobachten. Service und Küche sind ausgezeichnet. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.
Sitio tranquilo donde relajarte antes o después de hacer el safari. Tiene una piscina perfecta para darse un baño y un entorno precioso con un jardín muy bonito que invita al relax total. Teníamos cena y nos pusieron dos pedazo platos para los cuatro que no se los come ni Garfield! El encargado se portó genial y nos preparó el picnic del desayuno para llevar al safari a las 5 de la mañana.
Nuestro baño no olía nada bien. No sabemos si fue algo puntual.
بشرفة مطلة على البحيرة، كان مكانًا رائعًا. مثالي لمشاهدة الحياة البرية. قدّموا فطورًا شهيًا للذهاب في رحلة سفاري. لم يكن الأمر صعبًا.
Отличный отель для нашей поездки в национальный парк Яла и Тиссамахарама. Персонал был дружелюбным и внимательным к нашим просьбам. Номера были комфортными, просторными и чистыми. Бассейн с видом на озеро был великолепен. Отель профессионально спланировал для нас сафари! Кроме того, они организовали для нас трансфер и встречу в следующем месте. Я от всей души рекомендую отель Serenity Lake Resort Yala.
Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo e il personale è stato gentilissimo e disponibile. L'atmosfera generale era tranquilla e gioiosa 😊. Inoltre, lo staff ha organizzato il nostro Yala Safari a un prezzo ragionevole.
Komfortable værelser i dejlige, fredelige omgivelser. Vi havde en fantastisk tid med at møde værterne, som var meget venlige og hjælpsomme med at arrangere en safari og vise os nogle af de lokale seværdigheder. Derudover var vi meget taknemmelige for den lækre srilankanske mad, der blev serveret til os efter anmodning.
Está junto al lago, el desayuno esta muy bien
La limpieza de la habitación y la piscina es bastante mejorable
Très belle piscine. Au calme loin de l’agitation de la ville. Personnel disponible et serviable.
Chambres défraîchies et pas très propres. Climatisation aléatoire! Prévoir de l’anti moustique et se préparer à rencontrer des petites grenouilles dans sa salle de bain! Loin de tout donc sans voiture prévoir de faire des courses avant…
Όμορφη θέα σε όλο το ξενοδοχείο. Πολύ καλή τιμή, καθαρό, μοντέρνο μπάνιο, εξαιρετικό κλιματισμό και ωραία δωμάτια. Η πισίνα είναι ένα τεράστιο πλεονέκτημα. Σχεδίασαν επίσης μια φανταστική εκδρομή με τζιπ στο Εθνικό Πάρκο Μπουντάλα, η οποία ήταν μια εξαιρετική εμπειρία. Όταν ο προγραμματισμένος οδηγός μας δεν εμφανίστηκε, κανόνισαν ακόμη και να έχουμε αυτοκίνητο και οδηγό σε πολύ σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα. Το περπάτημα για δεκαπέντε λεπτά κατά το ηλιοβασίλεμα είναι απαραίτητο αν θέλετε να δείτε τις τεράστιες νυχτερίδες φρούτων να βγαίνουν από τις φωλιές τους στα δέντρα.
Excelente localização para participantes de safári. Depois de uma longa manhã, a piscina é linda. Os funcionários são muito prestativos e gentis. Pode parecer insignificante, mas ter muitas tomadas foi incrivelmente útil depois de visitar o Sri Lanka por algumas semanas! E o café da manhã também foi ótimo.
Nice location and close proximity to Yala. Host was always ready to fulfill our requests, he arranged a safari jeep and prepared very nice local dinner and breakfast for us.
Lot of mosquitoes in the room and a net would’ve been nice. Bathroom fittings are dated and need an upgrade.
A lovely hotel. We were able to have a pretty quiet time. We were also given arrangements for the safari. A good restaurant is there. A really good breakfast was served to us.
Increíble safari
A delectable Sri Lankan breakfast was provided to us. And the dessert was delicious. We had never had the opportunity to sample the delicacy known as "Halapa" before. Additionally, the hotel organised the safari. We had the good fortune to spot a leopard.
Great hotel! Clean rooms and effective AC. Plus, being near the jungle offers a fantastic, free safari experience.
Everything was Perfect!
Really nice grounds and good pool area the owner was extremely helpful
A little out of town but the owner did drive us in. They seemed a little unprepared for our arrival drinks and food wise but we was slightly out of season
Very helpful personnel who also arranged a safari for us at a fair price with a good driver/tour leader. I would strongly recommend arranging your safari vacation with them!
I got a scratch during the safari, and Dileepa treated it with medication. The hotel is good, and the owner is a multi-talented individual who can do anything. You guys come too.
The pool is fantastic. You are free with how you spend your time. There is a forest close to this hotel. You should stay at this hotel if you wish to have an environmentally friendly experience.
Service good food good
Food
Good!
Wonderful place on the lake. Clean swimming pool. Good food and friendly staff. Safari was great. A little paradise for wildlife lovers.
If you plan karaoke parties, please, close the bookings for families
Super Hotel!
Very Good location. The lake view is an added bonus. Owner and the staff were very helpful. They even helped me book the Yala Safari. The Guide was very informative, we were able to see the leopard, Elephants, etc
Friendly and welcoming staff. Accommodation conform to the announcement. Friendly atmosphere, I recommend!
Amazing place with beautiful gardens. Lovely clean room with aircon. The owners and staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. They can arrange safaris and taxis easily at a really good price.
endroit parfait
A stunning hotel. The hotel booked the safari for us. They also provide good taxi service. Mr. Dilip, the hotel's owner, is a really pleasant man. Highly Recommended!
Nice property. Dulip the host did a good job in making us comfortable at the homestay. He is a starting entrepreneur managing the homestay on his own. He is the host, the manager, the chef, security, housekeeper...... Does all of it himself as a starting business and does a good job in ensuring his guests are comfortable. Included Dinner and breakfast were awesome and the portions were generous, sufficient for 3 meals rather than one. The room was spacious with lots of sitting space outside as well. The property has a pool and lake view.
Great job. Keep up the good work.
perfect
Everything was great
A lot pf mosquitos in the room- need to add the mosquito net, my whole face got bitten at night.
The hotel area is green and well-groomed. But the rooms definitely need more attention and a facelift. This shortcoming was corrected by the friendliness of the staff, the location and the excellent early morning Yala safari.
Nice big room, beautiful outlook over lake(lots of birds and wildlife). Friendly staff
You really need a car or a driver (or a tuk tuk) to get to and from this property.
Nice exterior facilities. The pool is very nice, also to hang out by. Food is served outside on a big nice terrace. Staff is very friendly and organises everything for you (safari, transport etc.). For two nights, to do the full day safari it is a good stay.
The bathroom smelled very bad. There were also a lot of insects - which of course is natural so far out of town near the lake - but we had a whole street of our ants suddenly in the room and there was no mosquito net over the bed.
Staff are so friendly and helpful ! Thankyou for looking after us!
Location was abit far but the staff was more than happy o drive us anywhere we needed
This accommodation is located beside the lake at the end of a quite long and narrow road so it is very quiet and peaceful. There are six double - triple rooms in two separate buildings, each with its outdoor covered dining and relaxation area with views of the lake. We enjoyed the clean pool and lovely garden and environment. Breakfasts were continental with omelettes, toast, fruit and fruit juice. We were able to also have some Sri Lankan breakfast food when it was served to local visitors. Dinner was included - great because you are far from any restaurants - and it was voted number two of the best of 23 dinners we had in the country. The rooms [ we had three] were clean, well equipped with furniture, and comfortable. The bathroom was as clean as any similar accommodation in Sri Lanka which is to say that the washbasin, shower and toilet were really clean however cleaning around the edges of bottom of walls etc could be improved. The staff were always approachable, helpful and focused on service, providing extra services such as washing clothes for us and keeping medicines in their fridge. Value for money for this level of accommodation. We enjoyed our stay.
We needed a fridge however that should not be expected in this type of budget accommodation. Staff obliged by sharing their fridge and then hurried after us by motorbike when we forgot to take out our medicines when we left. Note: not a criticism. Driver accommodation is not available here.
We loved that there was a swimmingpool and a beautiful view over the lake
There was a lot of mold and the whole bathroom smelled like it. Would’ve loved to have a mosquito net over the bed.
The best hotel I have ever stayed in Sri Lanka. Everything was amazing!!! Highly Recommended!!!
Nice garden, very helpful staff, good food.
Quite far away, no access to the lake, room and bathroom would use a renovation.
Buena
You can enjoy the freshest and tastiest lake fish at this hotel. The pool is amazing, the rooms are nice, and the safari experience is fantastic!
Good!
Good
All is well. It's a really wonderful atmosphere.
Buena
The location is right by Yoda Lake, so the view is absolutely stunning. The yard is really nice with lots of swings and tables to chill at. The green grass against the blue lake is just beautiful. The pool is super clean and perfect for a dip after a safari.
Because of the location, we had some small animals like geckos, little frogs, and bugs in the room. There's no real way to keep them out. There are quite a few mosquitoes, but the host provides burning coils to help with them (it didn't help too much) If there are other guests, the pool can get a bit crowded, and there are only two sun loungers. The food is cheap but you get what you paid for.
Location next to yala park
Not menu to eat, limited food options and took very long to serve the food
Beautiful place with friendly staff, good food and perfect for a Yala safari. The pool is a big bonus, as is the view on the lake. Staff available and very friendly
No mosquito net, so many bugs and mosquitos during the night
A very kind host and friendly staff. Beautiful location with the view and the breeze from the lake. Clean pool. Great relaxation. Not the most modern type of lodging , a nice environment, eco friendly, full of greenery. Food was delicious. Definitely we will return!!!!!
Little things to be changed like taps , anyway there were renovations and refurbishment going on without disturbing the guests.
The hotel rooms were exceptionally comfortable, providing us with a peaceful and restful night's sleep. The garden was beautifully maintained, with a lush lawn that's perfect for relaxing. There's also plenty of space for children to play, making it a great family-friendly spot
Spacious garden overlooking the lake
Pillow extremely thin and uncomfortable
Beautiful quiet location on the lake, clean swimming pool, able to buy beer, breakfast and dinner included.
We liked the pool and the dinner
There were lots of insects
this resort is loacted in a great place near the lake. it really gives the safati atmosphere. crew are so great, willing to help with anything. and dinner is a must, best local food we had
AC in the rooms was a bit weak
The hotel is in a peaceful and remote location out of town with clean and comfortable rooms .Lovely to sit and relax and watch the wildlife on lake and swim in the pool. Our dinner was delicious made with fresh fish caught from the lake in the afternoon. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our Host was great and organised the safari and our transport to and from Yala
My only criticism was the dogs were a bit noisy during the night.
Great location on a big block of land next to a lake that had water buffalo in the afternoon. Nice pool to cool off in, the room was tidy with a/c and fan that worked well. The staff could not do enough for you and the highlight was the prepared meals, delicious food and large serves at a very cheap price. We also did a Yala safari from there which was organised by the manager Dilipa where we saw heaps of wildlife including a leopard and bear. We loved our stay and highly recommended it.
Nothing
A wonderful hotel situated conveniently close to Yala Park. The property boasts two stunning lakes right in front, with many more surrounding the hotel. We enjoyed an affordable Yala Safari experience arranged through the hotel. The food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend a stay here!
