Located within 10 km of Tissa Wewa and 27 km of Situlpawwa, Go Yala Hostel provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Tissamaharama. The property is set 4.6 km from Ranminitenna Tele Cinema Village, 10 km from Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara and 12 km from Kataragama Temple. The property is non-smoking and is situated 35 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary. I stayed one night at GoYala Hostel, and I booked a shared dorm room. Even though it was a dorm, it turned out no one else was there that night, so it was really quiet. The room itself was super clean—like, really spotless—and everything from the bathroom and shower to the beds, tables, and chairs was well-maintained. The cooler worked great too. The hostel had this really nice garden-like, villa-style atmosphere, which was super charming. Plus, there was a small lake right in front of the hostel that added a really nice view. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s a bit out in a rural area, so it might feel a bit remote. One important tip: Google Maps tends to show the wrong route near the hostel, leading to kind of a dead end. So when you're getting close, definitely call the hostel owner or manager to guide you through the correct way. In my case, I made a late-night reservation and the young manager was super helpful. He even came out on a motorbike late at night to show my driver the right path. He was really attentive and made sure everything was smooth for my arrival. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this hostel too!
