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.

Very friendly staff and clean room! We stayed there for one night only as we wanted to visit the Yala National Park before heading to Ella. The hotel is located near to a beach which was quite busy and crowded with locals. There were many small shops/kiosks around the beach shore so do not expect privacy there. The hotel itself was good. The staff helped us with arranging a tour to the Yala National Park and were very helpful all around.

This is a great hotel to book whilst in Yala! Very good value for money. Huge bed and very comfy and a nice warm shower. The safari we booked through them was incredible. We saw two leopards, many elephants and a black bear! (And many more beautiful animals). Our safari driver they arranged was particularly great (ask for Rowan!) They also packed us a lovely little breakfast for the safari. Highly recommend!

The staff were very friendly and kind. The food was excellent, and the location was great. If you spend a few days here, you’ll be able to see a variety of wild animals similar to what you'd encounter on a Yala safari. Although the hotel is located in a wild, natural setting, the management ensures that it is safe for guests to stay and move around freely.

Beautiful hotel room - the biggest and cleanest we stayed in during our trip. Lovely pool area to relax by before safari and lovely place to sit and have dinner - enjoyed the bonfire surprise that the staff did for us all after dinner too. Delicious food! Great location for Yala national park :)
