We stayed an excellent two nights at Aqua House. Great character and atmosphere. Balcony was a super place to relax and look out at the forest. Breakfast and evening meals good. The owner was especially sociable and helpful...

Fantastic little campsite in the middle of the Sri Lankan bush, only accessible by 4WD. Head in here and feel the serenity. With just the two tents it's a small, perfectly-formed operation run by the wonderful host Nero, who not only looks after your every need but whips up amazing meals in his little camp kitchen, served on a table under the stars, with a bonfire to complete the magic. In the morning Nero took us on a safari in the nearby Yala National Park, which was magical at sunrise. Highly recommended.

Yakaduru is a beautiful place with many sustainable features. The Yakaduru restaurant is great to visit. We explored the chena in the village side of Yala, where we saw tree houses that offered an amazing view of the Yala area. We also enjoyed drinking tea from coconut shell cups, a unique and sustainable experience. The people we met were very friendly, and even though they couldn't understand us, they communicated well through expressions and with the help of our guide. It was a wonderful experience meeting such friendly people in Sri Lanka. The rooms at Yakaduru Lodge are comfortable and cool, with clay walls and palm leaf roofs. We also visited the beach and had a great time.

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.

The national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long.
Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

The hike in the nature reserve was amazing, we saw lots of amazing animals and landscapes.
Were lucky and we were able to meet the tiger as well.
It is important to note that the trip should take drinks and food, the hotel staff where we were did not tell us the length of the trip and did not make sure to let us know that we should take care of ourselves.
Of course we were smarter and brought with us the necessary equipment ..
But there were those next to us who did not and that was unfortunate

We stayed at Laya Beach resort which was very beautiful and was very close to our safari's which made our stay even better.
The beach, however, was too rough to swim which was a little disappointing.
The staff at Yala Shadow were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, providing top-notch service throughout my visit. From the warm welcome at check-in to the helpful recommendations for nearby attractions, their attentiveness truly enhanced my experience.
As for the accommodations, my room was nothing short of fantastic. Spacious, well-appointed, and impeccably clean, it offered all the comforts of home and more. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail, from the plush bedding to the eco-friendly toiletries provided.
Our stay at Leopard Nest was nothing short of magical.
The accommodation surpassed our expectations. The luxury room were spacious, well-appointed, and offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The blend of rustic charm and modern amenities made for a comfortable and memorable stay. The staff at Leopard Nest was incredibly warm and attentive. From the moment we arrived, they ensured that every aspect of our stay was catered to. Special mention to the chefs who prepared delicious meals using fresh local ingredients.

This is an incredible hotel that exceeded our expectations in many ways. It is hard to fault - the staff regularly went out of their way to meet our needs. The facilities were exceptional - our family pods were very comfortable and the decor classy and in keeping with safari vibes. Kids loved our private plunge pool!
The spa was fabulous - possibility one of the best massages I have ever had thanks to experienced therapists. The quality of the food and choice at the restaurant can not be faulted.
Our stay at Udara's place was really amazing, Udara was behaving to us as the family, he took us also to many interesting places, prepared the delicious food for us together with his mother and arranged the beautiful trip to Yala Safari. It was probably our best stay in Sri Lanka. Also the villa and rooms were really beautiful, comfortable, with perfect air condition and strong wifi. Absolutely recommend and hope we will return in future!
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!
Dont book this hotel. Dishonest owner. Did not keep his promise n attached our WhatsApp conversation. I regret the choice of accommodation. The Wild Trails Yala & Wild Trails Yala by Suri are the same hotels. They don't have a water heater, n we had to shower in cold, miserable poor water pressure water n bed frame was broken n did not fix it. Mattress was placed on the floor. Overpriced with dated property
We stayed at Yakaduru Lodge and had an amazing time. The lodge is close to Yala National Park, which was great for our morning safari. We saw lots of wild animals like leopards, elephants, and monkeys.
Room was made with natural materials to keep it nice and cool inside. We loved the traditional Sri Lankan food they served, book the BBQ under the stars. This is basic luxury in heaven
The hotel was stunning, the room was large with a/c and beautiful view towards the pool and beyond.
All the staff were immaculate, so friendly and courteous to us. They cook our meals to order, so fresh and delicious. They even prepared a packed breakfast for our early morning safari and waited with us till our jeep arrived. Absolutely recommended this beauty. Thank you.
The location was unique. The room was very comfortable , clean and the decoration was modern and beautiful .All the staffs were very friendly , they tried we have great times during our staying. They managed our Safari to Yala park , prepared and packed breakfast and lunch in the best way . meal and drinks was very good . we had pleasant time there
Location is very good: 5 munutes druve from the entrance of the Park Yala
The view from the swimming pool is nice: you can see buffaloes, crocodiles, a lot if birds and, if yoy are lucky enough, even an elephant
The hotel is a part of the wild nature
The Ocean is terrific, don't eveb try to swim there, but the views are stunning
Leopard Nest Glamping in Yala offers an unparalleled experience in the heart of nature. With luxurious tents, breathtaking views, and top-notch service, it's a fantastic choice for those seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort.
Rooms were outstanding - spacious and felt like a home away from home. Beautiful pool. Staff delightful and went out of their way to help. The hotel organised two safaris for us. Food and drinks also extremely tasty.
Amazing luxury villa in tune with nature. Open air shower was great and so were the trees growing in the villa. Staff are top rate and speak good English. Food also excellent. Ideal for Yala safaris !
This was my second visit. Wanted to add an extra room and they were very accommodating. Didn’t get any food this time coz we only stayed for one night before our yala safari.
Beautiful setting near the beach and national park.
If felt that the hotel was respecting its environment around. Breakfast was super nice and diverse in choice.
