River Shade Inn

We spent two days in a family A/C room and everything was spot‑on. The room was spotless, comfy and in great shape, and the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive from start to finish. The highlight was the Yala safari the hotel organised – the driver was friendly, well‑versed and did a fantastic job, which let us spot a leopard, a rare and unforgettable sight. Because we had to head out at 5:00 a.m., the hotel kindly made sandwiches for us, even preparing a separate one for our child, which we really appreciated. The room didn’t have an electric kettle at first, but the staff supplied one right away when we asked, showing quick responsiveness and care. All in all, the stay was wonderful; the hospitality, cleanliness, helpful staff and the excellent safari set-up made us want to return. ❤️

“Bonne adresse pour aller au Parc Yala”

We had a good stay at this hotel, perfectly located for visiting Yala National Park. Amila greeted us warmly, was kind and helpful. His city tour (beach, temple and lake) was pleasant. Breakfast was tasty and was even prepared for us for our 5 a.m. safari. The room was clean and the air‑conditioning felt like new. The hotel is new, but a few practical items are missing, as some comments have already pointed out: a coat rack, a bathroom bin or a small fridge. This was the first hotel where we didn’t receive daily water bottles. The meals and laundry service are a bit pricey. There are also a lot of flies, though that isn’t directly the hotel’s fault.

The place was very clean and the bed décor was nice. Amillo prepared a breakfast box for our early‑morning safari. There was no wardrobe and no hook for hanging.

“Great”

Rooms were clean, food was good, staff lovely and there was nothing negative to mention. They arranged a great safari tour where we saw a leopard, elephants and more. I would recommend it; Amila was a wonderful host, very kind, and made sure our stay was perfect.
