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.

I stayed a few nights with a friend primarily to do a safari in Yala National park. The hotel is very nice, clean with friendly and helpful staff. The facilities, especially the Gym and SPA (for massages) are very good. The highlight of our trip was the full day Safari which the front desk organised for us. We had the best driver with great knowledge of the best spots to see the wildlife we wanted. He made the experience truly magical. I would definitely recommend asking the front desk to organise it with Madushanka.

This is a beautiful hotel located 10 minute drive from Yala National Park. The rooms are modern, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. There is also a smart tv which was handy to have when it was raining heavily outside. The food was so delicious - we loved every meal we had. The pool area is so clean and well kept - we enjoyed some margaritas whilst relaxing in the sun. Highly recommend this hotel. The staff were super attentive and kind. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Hotel is close to Yala National Park and is ideal for travelers looking for affordable accommodation close to the national park. The facilities are not as great as the big chain hotels, but all the basic amenities are available.

We were looked after very well by all staff and the room was well kept. The swimming pool was a good size. It is very close to Yala National Park and the hotel arranged our safaris there which were excellent.
