It is a perfect place to relax after a daylong safari, either in the pool or in one of the large rooms. The bathroom (especially the shower) was one of the best in Sri lanka. The personal was really carrying and nice. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. The manager communicated with kindness and rapidly. We enjoyed our stay a lot and we recommend it to everyone.

The property was very clean and colourful and was in a great location. It was near to 4 national parks and next to the beach. The property was very natural and a perfect place to relax after a few days travelling around Sri Lanka.

We loved our time at Yala Safari Lodge, if you are looking for an authentic, natural and personal experience we can’t recommend this place enough. We visited with our 18month old son and stayed 1 night. The hosts were very welcoming and cooked us a lovely dinner of Sri Lankan food, and built us a campfire. The next morning we went on safari with the owner of the accommodation. He has over 25 years experience as a Yala safari guide and his passion, knowledge and want for you to have the best experience stood out to us. Being so close to Yala National park entrance gave us the opportunity to get to the front of the queue for the entrance early in the morning. We spotted 2 leopards - 1 extremely close to the truck. Along with many others animals including elephants, mongoose, deer, Monkeys, various birds. An incredible safari and couldn’t have left happier. You won’t regret staying here, the only thing we would say is if you can’t live without aircon - this isn’t for you. Book a fancy resort if that’s the case. If you are open minded and want an experience which is authentic, then book this place for you. Thank you again to Suneth, Thushara and Wijepala. We cannot thank you enough, and wish you every success in the future. Hope to be back again.

The room is quite spacious. It's the biggest room we've stayed in the whole Sri Lanka trip. The staff were very friendly. They helped us to prepare the other morning's breakfast package for the Safari tour. We left for the Safari at 5:30a, our breakfast had been there ready. It's at the end of a small village road, and there's a pond in front of the hotel. It's quiet.

We stayed in the Green Nest Yala for one night, but we felt like at home, everything thanks to Athula! He was the kindest and most cheerful person we have met in Sri Lanka, always ready to helped us, made for us delicious dinner and breakfast and even ordered us a tuk tuk (pick me and uber failed) which took as to the Tissamaharama Bus Stand. The stay at the hotel was amazing and we would definitely come back there!!! 😍

The place is very simple but it has enough for a couple night staying. If you want some peace and a chill time before go to the crowder places in Sri Lanka I think is a right place. The owner was super kind and he helped us with everything You can also book a safari tour with the hostel. It was a fair price and the entrance of the N. Park you have there is much less crowdy than the most famous one. We could see many different animals, and our guide Weli was also very nice guy. He speaks good english and after the safari we shared a beer and a very nice talk. If you want visit a local village... Very recomended place!!! 10/10

Brilliant location not far from Yala national park. Lodges are nicely spaced out to enjoy a peaceful stay. Praveen was excellent and gave us lots of tips, including how to cook some Sri Lankan food. Make sure you spend an evening walking to the nearby lake to enjoy all the wildlife. We had a great time and wish we'd stayed longer.

Everything is fantastic! We stayed here for two nights while going on safari in Yala with the all inclusive package. The staff at the Lodge were wonderful, and gave us everything we needed. The meals were delicious with lots of different menu options to choose from. The room was clean and comfortable with good aircon. The pool was also great. The perfect place to stay in Yala!

The garden is really nice and quiet. Especially in the morning I enjoyed my coffee on the terrace while watching the peacocks dancing in the field next to the garden. The host arranged a Safari to Lunugamvehera National Park for us, which is really recommended if you want to do a Safari without masses of tourists. We just saw 3 other jeeps and our guide took distance to the animals.

The lodge is a stone throw away from the entrance to the National Park. It is located next to a pretty lake with plenty of birds, monkeys and buffalo herds. Of course we did a safari with an excellent nature guide, seeing an abundance of bird species, plenty of elephants, monkeys, deer and crocodiles. We also made pleasant walks along the lake and through the woods and countryside past the lake. It has a refreshing swimming pool.

Luxury and comfortable lodge in a quiet environment. Staff was friendly and food was delicious! Rooms were spacious and very clean. Well maintained new lodge. Bbq night under the stars is a must try. They arrange Safari to yala at a reasonable price. Worth for money.

Appu and his family were the most gracious hosts. The food was great and the lodging was very comfortable. It was very close to the National Park, and they were able to arrange the safari for us. The area was very peaceful and serene. The property itself is actually quite nice. There's a hammock to relax, a swimming pool, and other amenities. All-in-all, I'm very glad I was able to stay here!
