Excellent boutique hotel with 3 rooms, excellent service and meals. The manager had great customer focus, providing a late breakfast/brunch when returning from Yala game park. Dinner by the pool.

The staff were very friendly. Special mention goes to Shehan from the restaurant, Sandaruwan from the pool supplies, ayurvedic doctors and all the wonderful staff at the reception. The food was amazing. Highly recommend this place to all safari lovers and pilgrimage stop overs.

United Arab Emirates

Our stay was nothing short of exceptional, with every detail meticulously taken care of. The administrative staff, especially Sasini, was incredibly helpful and courteous, coordinating with us from the very beginning to ensure a seamless experience. The entire support staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. They booked our Yala safari, provided us with excellent snacks, and arranged a fantastic driver for the safari, ensuring we had the best experience exploring the wilderness. For anyone looking to indulge in luxury while being surrounded by nature, Lowin Yala is the ideal choice. Highly recommended!

Claire

From

Singapore

The property is spacious and perfect for a family of four, with common areas as well as the two bedrooms. The washing machine and drying space was also a great addition for us after a week or so of moving about! Dinner and breakfast were included and were absolutely delicious home cooked Sri Lankan dishes, which we loved. The absolute highlight though was the level of attention from Udara, who is a phenomenal host. He organised our safari in advance (which was a fabulous experience) and made everything so easy. He made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive, and also took us to local beaches and guided us around to make sure we saw as much of the local area as we could. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing.

This place is amazing. We stay with our 3 young kids and the staff were so kind and attentive. All of the small details have been thought of and it’s a wonderful experience in nature. Lovely local Sri Lankan are served for each meal.

It definitely is an experience worth trying.

It definitely is an experience worth trying. The tree house has all the comforts you need but yet kept on the simple side. Don't expect much and you will get a lot. Nice food Bbq and big fire lit for you in the evening to give you a chance to relax and talk about your day activities. It was great to be left alone and the silence of the night. There were times you just felt that we were the only ones there and when you needed something the staff would magically appear

too many jeeps roaming around. 50% of the time we were searching for animals. at some occasions long long jams of jeeps trying to observe leopards and bears the park is beutiful but * jeeps number should be limited * we didnt see a leopard, saw elephants only once, saw a bear briefly only once - for 6 hours in the park we were disappointed

We visited Yala for two days (with two separate game drives - one evening and one morning one) and although we enjoyed the animals we observed, we did not have any sightings of leopards despite being the national park with the highest concentration in the world. But that is nature so we were just unlucky on those days. However, the most disappointing aspect of Yala was the sheer number of vehicles allowed into the park at one time. As soon as elephants or leopards are sighted, drivers communicate among themselves and vehicles all rush to the scene creating a massive traffic jams. This makes it feel very mass market and doesn’t seem very respectful of the wildlife

Terrible time. No wild animals as expected.

Terrible time. No wild animals as expected. Roads are all around the jungle which is pretty disturbing to the wild life. After all it is supposed to be a protected zone for wild life. Jeeps are crawling every corner of the territory. Amused to see all of that disturbing scenes in a wild life protected zone. It's like business zone. Poor animals.

I loved Yala.

I loved Yala. The number of different animals seen was slightly disappointing but apparently wash outs due to rain prevented us from accessing some internal roads. The sunrise and scenery were stunning. I would rate it as good value despite the lack of animals. The whole experience was wonderful.

Our room boy Chandruk (sorry spelling no good), and waiter at dinner Danuska were fantastic. Reception / back room staff were not very good, difficult getting responses to emails, and not very efficient at sorting a room problem. Great location for the Yala safari. Lots of wildlife at the hotel. Very near to the beach. Food was excellent. Pool is large but needs some basic maintenance, tiles fallen off the pool walls. Overall, great place to stay.
