The property is a 10 minute walk from town. The staff are friendly. They drove us to the bus stop after our stay and made sure we got on the right bus. We got back from a Yala safari after checkout time so I was expecting to just grab our bags and go but they held off cleaning the bathroom in our room so that we could shower and use it after the safari if we needed. The room was big with AC and a mosquito net.

All the facilities were as advertised - air con worked well, hot water, mosquito net etc. Few ants wandering around the bathroom hich was no big deal. The place was clean, well managed and most improtantly the safari (full day) was excellent - one of the main reasons we booked here was the reviews on the Yala Safari that they organised. Great restaurant (Smokey Kitchen) about 10-15 minutes walk away.

We spent two nights here during our travels through Sri Lanka. This place stood out because of the thoughtful hospitality, the influenced by the three years the host Priyankara worked in Korea: a welcome fresh coconut and cool towel to wash our hands and face, free pickup from bus stop and drop off at bus stand (he waited until passing bus arrived and made sure we could get seats before he left), free evening trip to the nearby lake to see birds and fruit bats at sunset, and power strip next to bed where we could charge all our devices. The food prepared by his wife was excellent, from the early morning coffee/tea and snacks before we left for our safari, to the dinner of deviled fish, hot garlic fish and fried kankun (ample portions, high quality ingredients), and the most abundant breakfast (with added new year pastries) we have had on our travels so far. Though we didn’t take his safari tour because his best driver wasn’t available, we spent time each day consulting his detailed bird guidebook to confirm what we saw.

The lady and her family were very lovely and welcomed us warmly. The room is also very nice and has a beautiful balcony. You can order delicious Sri Lankan foods for very affordable prices. We booked our safari via the accommodation and everything was perfect. The owner even woke us up and brought us tea. Thank you very much for everything❤️

My wife and I had a very pleasant stay at Yaye. The setting is in the countryside with access to magical walks through rice paddies and farm land with opportunities to connect with friendly locals. Walks can take you all the way to seaside with many bird and water buffalo sightings. The accommodations at Yaye are modest, but adequate. The courtyard setting is beautiful and zen-like. The fish dinner prepared by host was one of the best meals we had while we were in Sri Lanka. Host was gracious and accommodating! Yaye for us was very memorable.

Great host who really puts customer satisfaction on top and goes the extra mile. He picked us up at the bus stop and organized a wonderful safari at yala nationalpark. I can only recommend staying at Great Lake Villa!
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
Beautiful location, close to two of the lakes. We had a lovely stroll in the afternoon and early evening to go watch the fruit bats and birds. A/C worked well. Very friendly hosts. The guesthouse is cheap compared to others in the area; dinner was also cheap.
Great host. He helped with some currency exchange (I did not got enough from the airport), arranged a good (and cheap) dinner on the new year's eve when everything around was closed, helped with a tuk tuk.
Was very attentive and kind.
Room was also better than I expected. AC worked fine, the window blinds worked perfectly.
Great hosts great food. Local
Host organised safari much cheaper than anywhere else. Still about 45 minutes to national park. But very knowledgeable with lots of experience. Comfortable safari truck.
The property is beautiful set in thick green surrounds. Room is large bed is comfy. Ac not very good with no fan meant it stayed a little stuffy inside
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.
The Hotel has a great location with a beautiful on the rice fields, really quiet and relaxing.
The host was really nice, he booked us our safari tour in german (he speaks german).
The location was okay, supermarkets and restaurants nearby.
Mostly clean
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.
