Saffron Lake Yala

For Eco Friendly stay I would suggest this place . The owner is a sweet person ready to cater what you want. Professional attitude and customer friendly. You can do fishing as well if you want. He currently has three eco friendly cabana but expanding to have a few more this year and planning for the swimming pool as well. If you’re looking for a calm and peaceful place you must visit Saffron Lake Yala. They arrange the safari trip to near by Yala National park for wild life watch as well

FANTASTIC stay at Saffron Lake Yala. We were a party of 6 and booked 2 cabanas and a basic room. Everything was super clean and we had a great experience. Umesh was tending to all our needs and was super polite, helpful and cooked us an amazing breakfast. The Coconut Roti - Each of us agreed that it was probably the best we have ever had. The breakfast was very generous and included fresh fruit, juice, mains and coffee / tea The rooms were spotlessly clean. We found a Gecko in our bathroom and Umesh took care of that. Definitely recommend. AC worked great and Indika (who I believe is the owner) was super responsive and easy to work with as well.

My friend and I stayed here last month and it was just perfect for out time in Yala! Dhanuska He was beyond helpful and we really enjoyed being in the wonderful space he and his team have created. He couldn't help us enough. It was a really calm, tranquil place to be but still easy to get to town and of course perfectly located for safari, which Dhanuska can help you with too. And see a buffalo herd heading home across the lake at the bottom of the garden during sunset was just magical, the icing on the cake! Would definitely return!

Bed, room, shower, good ac, breakfast, balcony/terrace. Everything about the room is very good. It is new and in perfect condition. Even better are the hosts and their service. You get a great and daily changing breakfast, nice dinner if you like, and help to plan your activities in Tissa. The place might be a little out of the town, but that is not a bad thing! The town does not offer much. To get around, to town or to the next beach, you can rent a scooter there and directly behind the property is the Yoda lake. It is perfect for walks in the morning, or for sunset. The sun sets over the lake. It's very quiet and you can see a couple or nice animals there. The 2 times we went there, we saw Grey langur monkeys. Also you can see the buffalos around and in the lake, with just their heads looking out and many different kinds of birds.

Fantastic location with breathtaking views. Dhanuska the manager was constantly going out of his way to provide us the best experience possible. Food was delicious and the rooms were clean and cosy. Dhanushka and his team organized a bbq night with a bonfire next to lake which was a pretty amazing experience. Incredible value for money and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Staff at this hotel is helpful. Specially Danushka the manager is doing his best to make the guests happy. They arranged a wonderful barbecue for our group. Location is wonderful and price was amazing.

We had a great 2 nights stay at Saffron Lake Yala. The cabanas were clean and well maintained. Manager Danushka and his staff were very friendly and gave us an excellent service throughout the trip. The bbq night with a bon fire was the highlight of the trip and the staff went to great lengths to arrange everything and satisfy the guests. The owner was also very friendly and reasonable on rates. Highly recommending this place.
