River Edge Yala

Not as in the images, lack of maintenance The bathroom door locks were broken and cannot be closed from inside There were monkeys jumping on the roof and made staying in the upper floor terrible as the sounds came as if the ceiling was going to fall Overall lacked maintenance, staff was friendly ended staying at another place

The location is good

We have booked four rooms from five rooms from full villa , and they told us that we can use kitchen and didn't say it's paid, but when we checkout they charged more money for kitchen , and also one of the room ac didn't work at all . Toilet sheet was very dirty and mould .

We had a really nice stay at River Edge Hotel Yala. The double room was big, very clean, and the beds were really comfortable. The view from the room was amazing — we could see the river, which made the whole place feel so peaceful and relaxing. The garden is also very natural and beautiful. The hotel is close to the town, so the location was very convenient. The WiFi was good, the food was great, and the staff were always friendly and checked on our comfort during the stay. The owner was especially very helpful and even guided us on the way to the hotel, which we really appreciated. Madushika was also very kind and helpful. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, perfect even for a longer visit. Definitely worth the money and highly recommended.

Nothing everything was just too perfect 🤩👌

Superb Hotel. Spacious, clean rooms. Friendly staff.Great breakfast Close to main attractions. They even arranged a safari jeep for us Will recommend it to my friends and family.

Le prix : n’était pas cher du tout

Aucune organisation : nous avions prévu par message avec l’établissement le safari pour Yala + les petits déjeuner à emporter (dont un avec allergies): le gérant avait tout validé et nous avait tout confirmé par message. Arrivés sur place, il n’avait rien prévu du tout : il nous a organisé le safari en nous annonçant d’abord un départ à 6h du matin (comme dit par message), puis à 22h, nous a annoncé qu’il faudrait partir à 4h30 du matin le lendemain, et que nous ne serions pas rentrés avant 12h30 (contre 10h dit par message). Le repas était sommaire et nous n’avons pas mangé beaucoup car tout nous paraissait très sale. Les équipements, encore une fois, une grosse blague : dans l’une des chambres réservées, pas de papier toilette, dans l’autre, pas de drap mis sur le lit, ni de serviette de toilette. Le compteur électrique faisait du bruit et sentait le brûlé. Lorsque nous l’avons signalé, le gérant nous a tout simplement éteint le compteur pour stopper le bruit (= chambre dans le noir complet donc toute la nuit). Pour activer la carte pour la lumière, le gérant a mis un stylo dans l’interstice (dangereux). Les équipements dans la salle de bains étaient sales, rouillés, le savon mis à disposition était déjà usagé, odeurs d’égouts +++. Fourmis rouges dans la chambre.. Et la cerise sur le gâteau, des locaux qui ont pris l’apéritif toute la nuit à côté de nos chambres, au niveau de l’espace restauration. Ils étaient ivres et ont fait énormément de bruit (rires, musique +++). Certes le gérant avait toujours le sourire, mais cela ne fait pas tout. Le safari n’était guère mieux : aucune explication, le chauffeur ne parlait qu’à peine anglais. Il a suivi toutes les autres jeep la plupart du temps, impossible donc de voir des animaux de manière respectueuse. En bref, à fuir.

The staff was very kind. Rooms are big. Beds are comfortable. Cover sheets were a little bit strange

Big room and bathroom, lovely patio. Owner went above and beyond - loved having tea when we got back after a busy day, that was very thoughtful!

Not really walking distance to anywhere

Nothing

All is well. It's a really wonderful atmosphere. The food and beverages are excellent. Additionally, the safari was planned for us.

We were taking the whole hotel. Was very free. There was a garden big enough for children to play. There was a parking lot with enough space to park several vehicles. Very nice stay

Finding the hotel was easy as it is conveniently located near Debarawewa city. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and were greeted with a refreshing drink of King Coconut, my favorite. The food was delicious, with a standout dish made from cinnamon, which quickly became one of my favorites. Additionally, the hotel organized an enjoyable safari for us. The staff's excellent English-speaking skills made our stay even more comfortable. I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.

This hotel provided excellent value for the price. The staff was friendly and attentive, and their assistance in arranging our safari adventure was invaluable. The on-site restaurant impressed us with its delicious and hygienic cuisine, all at a reasonable price. We recommend opting for the hotel's meals over street food options to ensure a safe and enjoyable dining experience.

Very peaceful and tranquil place to stay right by the river. The air con was a very reasonable extra charge of only 500lkr per day as I had booked room without. The room was very spacious, bed was comfortable and we really enjoyed the balcony to sit and relax on. The host was very attentive and was able to provide meals, we are thankful that she could accommodate our vegan diet too!

There are some improvements that really need to be made, unfortunately I feel I could not give a higher score because of these. Firstly, the white walls near the bed were really dirty with brown hand/ foot prints on them, these need to be wiped clean. Secondly, the door to the balcony had a broken glass panel, so we had to shove plastic bags in the hole in the glass to make sure we didn't get loads of mosquitos entering the room. Lastly, the bathroom door was missing the door handle on the inside. Which meant when you closed the door you would be locked inside (which happened to me when I first didn't realise and had to wait for my partner to get back to let me out!). It meant we had to keep the door open when using the toilet which means no privacy. Also a small thing was that there was no garbage bin/ trash can in the room or bathroom, so there was no where to put you garbage at all which was a little inconvenient. Overall we did have a good stay, but they definitely need to improve on these things for the future guests.

So cheap for such a beautiful place with AC ad well. The owner doesn't speak English but he is always smiling and helpful. We loved this place, its a pity we stayed just one night

Alles ist perfekt

This hotel offers exceptional value for money, ensuring maximum service and comfort. Situated along the riverbank, it exudes a feeling of liberation. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and impeccably clean. Plus, the Wi-Fi speed was impressive, adding to the overall satisfaction of the stay.

Major plus points for the extremely clean bathrooms in the rooms! With so many trees and a serene atmosphere, the surroundings were incredibly laid back. Let's not forget about the delectable cuisine and beverages! The best thing, though? The hotel arranged for us to go on a safari directly from their end. made our trip even more amazing!

Our safari adventure kicked off from this conveniently situated hotel, just a stone's throw away from the city, making our travels hassle-free. Locating the hotel was a breeze, adding to the convenience of our stay. The culinary offerings surpassed our expectations, with delectable food and drinks tantalizing our taste buds. Moreover, the affordability of the hotel's services made our experience even more satisfying.

Very quiet place by the river. Beautiful terrace. Upon arrival, the owner immediately arranged a safari in Yala Park for us, so a jeep arrived for us within a few hours. The next day, the owner took us to Tangale in his car for a reasonable price.

Although wifi is advertised, unfortunately it is not available

I recently stayed at the River Edge hotel and had a delightful experience. The serene ambiance by the river was enchanting, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The room was cozy and well-appointed, with a picturesque view of the flowing river. The staff was friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay. I particularly enjoyed taking a leisurely stroll along the riverside promenade and savoring a delicious meal at the hotel's restaurant. Overall, my stay at the riverside hotel was memorable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a tranquil getaway.

Everything was good.

An exceptional experience! I'm eager to return. The room and bathroom are both lovely, ensuring a high level of comfort throughout. Definitely worth every penny!
