Extraordinary lodge with lovely staff members. We were welcomed by Ishan and Nishani. They were professional, friendly and smiling. Nishani’s food was delicious!! Thank you for two amazing nights and for packing an early breakfast for us to bring on our morning safari :)

The room was very clean and big, with AC. Near to Yala national park. Very quiet at night, with a nice atmosphere and good options to have dinner by walk. The host, Malinga, was very kind: ready to counsel us and take us to great places. He offers a taxi service, so is a good option to go there from your previous location or go with him to your next destination in your trip.

Where do I start? Staying at the Wadula in an exoerience, not just a stay at a hotel! The accommodation is situated in the middle of nature. This is why you're escorted by one of the brothers that own the hotel from the main road because otherwise you'd probably get lost. Think nature, think a jungle-like experience! If you're a nature lover such as myself you will love this place! The owners, Dulaj and Chamith, are the best hosts you could possibly imagine. Welcoming, all smiles, and extremely helpful. They can arrange a host of things such as transportation, packed lunches and, of course safaris in neighbouring (literally 50 metres away) Yala National Park. The safari, arranged by the brothers, comes highly recommended! We did the full day safari. Very good packed breakfast, yummy lunch and to top it all off we saw elephants and yes, the ever elusive panther! Go for it! Ask Dulaj or Chamith to arrange the safari for you! They know the best guides! As for the accommodation: you will stay in your own private beautiful bungalow. It has all the amenities such as flatscreen TV, WiFi, aircon, coffee /tea, and in the bathroom apart from shampoo, even conditioner, toothpaste etc etc. Wonderful! Each balcony has a veranda with a gorgeous view over the lake. A perfect place to relax in the evenings! If you love nature and if you love a quiet peaceful place, look no further and book the Wadula!

The property is a peaceful and unique set up in the most wonderful and quiet place. Our room was spacious with mosquito nets and the facilities such as the toilets and shower were super clean. The host was so welcoming and kind to us throughout the whole trip, making sure he we had everything we needed from tuk-tuks, food and the times of local buses. Me and my friend were bewildered by his kindness and efficiency, a very hard worker who made the experience complete and unforgettable. Thank you so much, we’ll be back!

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

The staff was perfect, I can only say that the experience was perfect. We were there for a night to attend a safari. We asked the staff a day before, he managed to do it, they book online ticket for us so it’s was faster than the other jeeps. The dinner and the breakfast under the tree is amazing and beautiful ! If you want to live a real safari experience this is the lodge ! We are two French people and we can guarantee that the tent is clean, AC helps a lot and the shower is beautiful 😍 Thanks again for your kindness !

The perfect place for an authentic safari glamping experience - sitting out under the stars at night and listening to the sounds of nature. The lodge is run by a lovely family who are friendly and professional. They also cook delicious food so I highly recommend having a candlelit dinner at the lodge!

Beautiful, comfy and spacious safari tent. Lovely outdoor area with a real safari feel. Amazing food served under the stars each night. We went on a safari organised by Ranakeliya lodge and owner Thisara joined us which was a pleasure and great experience. 100% recommended this place

We stayed in the tented lodge for one night. The lodge is amazing. It is beautifully built, very clean with mosquito nets on every entrance and window. The open air bathroom rounded up the glamping experience. There is electricity and even wifi in the tents. We booked two safaris and one starlight BBQ. The safari organisation went smooth and the guides were really good. The dinner was outstanding and one of our highlights of the whole vacation. The owners are super friendly. Would definately recommend!

This lovely lodge was like your own little house. It was near to the owners house so you felt safe but had a lovely rustic feel with lots of nature surrounding you. Very clean and good size bed. Air conditioning was great. Family and owner were extremely friendly and welcoming. They cooked amazing authentic food. The bbq under the stars was a fabulous touch. Great proximity to Yala National park for a safari. The lodge arranged everything.
