    Incredible. The best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka. The rooms are great. The location is exceptional, very close to the city but quiet in nature with a great view. The hosts are really great, so kind. It's like being at home with your family. The breakfast is very good. The rice and curry for dinner is one of the best we've eat, so don't bother looking for a restaurant, you'll eat better here. The host offers half-day and full-day safaris in Yala Park. We took the full day and we are very happy to choice this, the guide was very good and really patient to find animals. We were able to see many animals (birds, crocodiles, elephants, deer, mongoose, lizards, etc.) and even a leopard up close (10 meters) at the end of the day. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka, we'll definitely stay at this Guesthouse again. Thank you for all

    The place is beautifully located in a rice paddy. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hosts were kind, helpful and lovely (x10). We found the home cooked meals (breakfast and dinner) better than what the restaurants in town could offer. We booked our Yala safari through them and everything went smoothly. I can not speak highly enough of the place and the owners.

    Wonderful Stay at V Cabanas – Highly Recommended!

    We stayed for 2 nights at V Cabanas and absolutely loved the place and the warm, welcoming family. The home has a peaceful view over the paddy fields, and beautiful jackfruit trees and a well-kept garden surround the property. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, equipped with air conditioning. Every morning we were served a delicious Sri Lankan-style breakfast with hoppers, pancakes, fresh fruit, and tea – a perfect start to the day! From V Cabanas, we also arranged a safari to Yala National Park. Everything was excellently organized – the jeep was in great condition and the driver was experienced and friendly. We were lucky to see elephants, monkeys, deer, birds, and best of all – a leopard! Truly an unforgettable experience. We’re so grateful for the hospitality and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area!

    If you want AC, you need to pay extra for it, just bear it in mind.

    Good location, a short walk away from the town, in a quiet area. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds and great staff.

    I had a great stay. The room is spacious, clean and quiet. There is a balcony to enjoy nature and reading. The internet is working well. The family is so helpful and always available. They organized the safari for me and brought me to a restaurant and the bus station. I can definitely recommend this place.

    Nothing. Everything was fine.

    V Cabanas is an absolute gem! The location is simply stunning—right on the edge of beautiful rice fields, creating a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere. Waking up to the serene view and sounds of nature is an unforgettable experience. The cleanliness of the rooms is outstanding—everything is spotless and well-maintained, making the stay incredibly comfortable. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into keeping the place in perfect condition. What truly makes V Cabanas special, though, is the wonderful family that runs it. They are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything, from organizing transport to recommending local sights. Their hospitality makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. If you're looking for a relaxing and authentic stay in a breathtaking setting, V Cabanas is the perfect choice.

    Wonderful family! Very accommodating, they go out of their way to make you comfortable. Cool treehouse like structure overlooking a gorgeous rice field. They arranged a Safari in Yala Park, drivers, transportation to Ella and drove me to the bank. They also took me to a spot with a bat migration! Very safe, secure spot too. Great host family and space!

    They can prepare dinner or lunch but only on demand, so you need to anticipate the request (in my case 1 day before was needed), they helped me reach a nice spot for dinner with their own car which was appreciated.

    Best stay I had in Sri Lanka, very clean and isolated room (even if being by the rice field no insects inside), comfortable bed, extremly nice family running the business. Views and surrondings are very nice. Room is silent at night and has good airconditioning. They can help you arrange transports in a good car by a fair price. Felt very safe for a woman travelling alone. They adapted breakfast for my dietary needs (gluten free)

    I have had an amazing stay at V Cabanas! The room was very spacious, clean and a great shower with hot water:) Also the view from the terrace over the rice fields was so good! The food was excellent, both breakfast and curry were one of the best I had in Sri Lanka! Lastly, the host family was just amazing. They welcomed me with some tea and were very helpful and kind surfing my stay. They took me to see the Fruit bats view point, lent me a bike, and dropped me at the busstation when I left. One of my best stays so far, so highly recommend!
