It’s really out in the Wilderness so it may be challenging logistically in a sense. No ATM or restaurants so you have to come prepared.

It’s very nice and peaceful. Everything is very clean and they serve very nice food. You can see a lot of wildlife in the area of the hostel. They have a pool table!

We really enjoyed our stay at Yala Yin Yang Hostel. The place is in very close proximity to the national park so you might be able to spot wildlife right from the terrace or window. Dimuthu, the owner, as well as Seneca, the manager, are incredibly friendly and helpful. Seneca took us for a walk on our first day and showed us a crocodile pond and a nice beach close by. They also helped us organize a really good full day jeep tour through the Nationalpark. The next town is Kirinda which is 10 minutes away by motorbike or scooter. Take your time and enjoy the ride - we spotted monkeys, crocodiles, eagles, water buffaloes and wild elephants close to the road! We booked the 3-bedroom option for three nights, which was clean but simple and had an en-suite bathroom. The design of the building is very open, so be ready to have nature (lizards, insects) being in a room with you from time to time. We did not mind at all but it’s definitely not for everyone. We highly recommend this place for people who want to connect with nature and appreciate the simplicity of this place. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful place in heaven. Beautiful people and animals. This place is wild and so peaceful. We obviously stayed longer than what we had planned. We just came to do the safari (which we didn't enjoy so much) but the Yala Yang Hostel is the reason why we stayed longer. Would love to come back, I truly recommend it !

The food was disappointing. I was under the impression it was cooked on site but it was brought in and by the time I got to eat, it was cold. The place is isolated so there are no other food choices.

Loved the camp feel with open dormitory. Seneka was just so lovely and took great care of me because I was carrying an injury. He also took me to the sand dunes and pointed out turtles and their tracks up the beach to lay eggs.

It is an amazing place for nature lovers. If you dont like nature and are afraid to sleep in the open, then probably it is not for you.

Sir working there is fantastic. Very calm, nice, helps with everything, loves and knows a lot about the nature. They organized safari for me and helped me to reach my next destination (Ella). The place is really authentic and sleeping there is an experience by itself.

We really loved to be out in the nature so close the Yala nature park. A short walk away you arrive at your own 'private' beach. Harsha was such a nice and wise man, he got to help us plan the rest of the trip and was an amazing cook. If you want to got Yala national park by tour it's only 10 minutes away. So you don't have to get up so early in the morning to see the magnificent wildlife.

food was quite expensive ($1,500 for a veg kottu)

Amazing! The place is clean and pretty comfortable. The owner is super helpful. The sky is unbelievable at night and the place is ony a 5 min walk to a really nice beach and sand dunes. We had an amazing night at the hostel.

The fact that everything is so wide open makes a false sensation of unsecurity of unprivacy, even though we didn’t have any bad experience and I assume it’s the kind of concept they want to offer

The staff was super kind and helpful, always looking for best prices and make our experience as complete and comfortable as possible. The location was superb, close to the national park, close to the town and still isolated in the forest. The food was also great and tasty. The pool table made our evenings better! The beds were comfortable and clean

Great place to escape everything and just be outdoors. Very close to Safari Parc. And incredibly nice people.

Owner is fantastic, and would highly recconend going to see the sand dunes in the nearby beach (which is completely empty- no tourists at all). Loved our stay 🙌

Everything was great

I loved this place. It is a bit 'in the wild' but that is the beauty of it - it is right next to the park and there are lots of animals (especially birds) to see. The owner was very friendly and arranged pick-up for me and bought some curd and treacle to try. He also played pool with me (yes, there is a large and well kept pool table there.) As it was quiet when I was there he kindly gave me a better room for the same price. He also owns riverside cabanas which I recommend staying at.# Nearby is a beautiful beach that looks prehistoric and you can walk along the sand dunes.

Nothing, all good.

The place was amazing and beyond my expectations. They also helped me to arrange my safari; and I have the best time ever!!! The people that work there, the kindest. The private room was really comfy, big and with everything that I need (good and proper own toilet, fan, big bed and a terrace). I also had dinner there and I really enjoyed it.

Nothing really other than no hot water for the ladies especially

Superb location nice open spaces and the pool is super fun for down time. The caretaker was very sweet can’t remember his name but the old man with white long beard.

The room quality was average for the price.

The location was near to Yala National park and felt right at nature.

For us, the room was a bit too wild - frogs in the toilet seat, crazy amount of ants in the shower, lot of mosquitoes that could pass the mosquito net - we were so badly eaten during the nights. The toilet is partly open, meaning that all kinds of insects fly in there. Also, you can see directly to the room from the garder, no curtains (meaning also that it will be light in the room when the sun rises). Also, the room was kind of dirty.

The full-day safari was excellent, the guide was very professional and we saw a lot of animals! Also, the staff was super friendly, food delicious and we loved the nearby remote beach! The hostel area is beautiful and full of wildlife. We got to stay in the triple room (green one) with double room's charge, since the double room details were missing from booking.com. This was fairly done for us!
