AustraliaSuper clean room and comfy bed. Greeted with complementary tea and coffee with biscuits. They organised the safari for us for the half day morning. We added the bbq option for dinner (highly recommend) and was taken to a very nice place about 100 metres from the property it was a romantic candle lit setting in the jungle. I would stay again!

DenmarkI stayed at go yala hostel for two nights - a beautiful hostel in front of a lake in the middle of the jungle. The place is calm and just surrounded by nature. I was warmly welcomed with a fresh coconut. Shortly after I arrived I left for night safari - an awesome experience to see wild elephants at night time! After a few hours of sleep i left for safari at 5 o’clock in the morning. Besides many elephants and buffalos we were also really lucky to find a leopard! Thanks to our awesome guide again! During our stay we really enjoyed the tour through garden and were stunned by everything growing and living there. Your only neighbors will be cows and a lot of chicken and birds. I also loved the food prepared for us. I can really recommend this place if you are looking for a very good safari experience and a calm and beautiful place to stay. Thanks for this awesome time Go Yala Hostel! I enjoyed it soo much!

FranceBeautiful 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 !

United KingdomCan not recommend this place enough! Feels more like a home than a hostel, huge dorm rooms, immaculately clean and smells lovely as you walk in. The owner, Pradeep, was really friendly, humble and caring. He arranged my group safari tour of Yala for a very reasonable price and made us all coffee in the morning before we left for it and breakfast at the park. Very informative and taught me various different things about Sri Lanka. The best shower and sleep I’ve had the entire time I’ve been in the country. Above and beyond on looking after me during my stay would be an understatement. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and for your kindness!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
