Lodges in Yala

Nice glamping in quality tent, very private and not overlooked. Attentive staff. Excellent safari was provided with a good car and very experienced and knowledgeable driver. Very tasty breakfast and luch packet (safari) with a tasty curry consisting of many components.

First Appu, he and his family will take care of you, I had read reviews about his food, don't pay attention... it is better than his reviews, he is the best cook in Sri Lanka, his spicy eggplants are excellent! And all his food! Thank you for taking care of us. Thanks also to the Safari driver, he made our dream of seeing Leopards come true, I recommend doing the Safari with the Hotel service, his driver is excellent! (sorry, I don't remember the name). Finally, Navin, the owner of the hotel, thank you for taking care of every detail! Our stay has been excellent! You have a great Hotel and your team is excellent!

We wanted to stay close to the park with the feeling of being inside it and being close to nature and the animals, and Yala Jungle Haven delivered on all fronts! You’re in the middle of nature, so don’t be spooked when a salamander or lizard walks around the room and leaves some droppings or tiny frogs enter and jump around. They are harmless and make it the full experience. There’s also a small crocodile in the pond next to the room and in the morning we had a water buffalo in it and a peacock on top of the tree. You won’t have aircon or hot water as there’s only one generator but there’s a fan and a mosquito net if you need to open the windows and it’s hot enough to enjoy the colder shower. The owners, Tushara and his parents, are amazing and do everything they can to make you feel at home. The food is freshly prepared and delicious, definitely the bbq chicken (a bit pricey compared to other areas but makes sense as shops are not close and everything is made from scratch). You eat dinner on the rock where you can look at the stars by the fire and a bit higher up you can go watch the sunrise/sunset. Sometimes an animal that can walk under the fence for elephants (monkeys, wild boar, leopard, …) walks by. We saw the first two. Breakfast in the hut is also amazing as a giant squirrel joins you to ask for a banana. Tushara knows a lot about the environment and animals as he has been a guide for over 25 years, so you can ask him anything. We did the full day safari in Yala National Park with them which was also a great experience. We got to see 2 leopards, 40 elephants, 3 crocodiles, many antilopes, spotted deers, birds, water buffaloes, mongoose, monitor lizards, … Unfortunately Tushara couldn’t come with us because the generator broke and he had to stay to fix it, so his cousin came with us. Although he was a man of little (English) words, he made sure we saw a lot of animals and tried to explain what he could.

Everything! The room was perfect, the deck for relaxing lovely. The food was so good and the staff excellent. My only regret is not staying longer. The ideal would be early morning visit to the national park come back and relax, swim, lazing on the deck and then out in the evening. I am shocked we were the only people staying. Our little secret bit of paradise.

The chef did very well. Thank you for a super romantic and awsome dinner!

The place was great. And the room Super clean and organised with everything.

The resort staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I also found the location to be absolutely superb, offering convenient access to everything I needed. The facilities at the resort were also top-notch.

Everything was perfect. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I definitely recommend them to cook to u, they make delicious food, I thank them again and again, I’m glad we stayed with u 🥰🙏🏼

The staff prepared a takeaway breakfast box for our safari which was really nice.

Is totally in eco environment, not crowded at all only one tree house, one standard room (2 single and 1 double bed) and one dorm room (6 single beds). All has mosquito nets
