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.

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.

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.

The hotel was excellent. The pool like all the pools was very hot, not refreshing but huge and good to get wet and let the breeze slightly cool you down.

Great location of the property, breakfast & dinner had a large spread but very limited options for the Indian Vegetarian so really not happy with the same.
Yakaduru Yala is located on the buffer Zone of Yala National Park. It's just 5 minutes away from the Yala National Park Entrance.

We loved our time at yakaduru. The place only has a few buildings so it had a really intimate feeling. It was right in amongst the national park and nature so you felt like you were really immersed. I don’t mind camping but hate bugs so had been a bit worried but the yakaduru team check your room every night and use a special smoke recipe to detract animals. The staff were so attentive and kind, would recommend this special place in a heartbeat.

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.
Everything about this hotel was excellent. The location amid the Yala National Park is ideal for any wildlife enthusiast. The Staff is very attentive and friendly and their service was beyond expectations. The food was superb (Kudos to the chef) and had a very good Variety. The hotel Naturalists has very good knowledge about the wildlife in Yala and would definitely recommend going on a Safari with them. Overall the experience at Cinnamon wild was away beyond our expectations and would definitely go again whenever we can.
We had a high room with a nice view from our balcony, and could see for miles on the roof terrace. The room was spacious, comfortable, modern, well decorated, with a fridge and TV, and a lovely bathroom.
Buddika welcomed us with refreshing drinks, organised a fantastic safari, and was a perfect host.
Restaurants were within easy walking distance.
I highly recommend staying here - we saw more more expensive options around Yala, but I doubt they were as good as the Blue Sky Hotel.
Amazing location. So peaceful after being in the more busy parts of the south coast! A bit isolated (but thats what makes it so beautiful) so if you dont have your own transport make sure to take what you need so you dont have to go 15km back to the town centre. Ask the owner about watching the sunset on the sand dunes. Hotel also organised our morning safari tour which was seamless & provided all meals at cost which were delicious and reasonably priced
We loved the room, its design, lication and coziness with beautiful views to the beach, and the staff friendliness, specifically at the pool bar and restaurant and mostly reception area.
The pool is definitely a highlight! And ideal starting location for Safari but still wanting to enjoy beach flair.
Breakfast buffet and staff friendliness was just outstanding, a true 5 star hospitality experience !!!!

Allure Yala is a beautiful property, bordering the Yoda Lake with spacious rooms & all amenities you could ask for including a plunge pool.
We were impressed by the Friendliness & Professionalism of the staff. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would ideally recommend the hotel to anyone.
Thank you for the hospitality & for making our visit so memorable!

We spent two nights at Wild Culture and it was a great experience.
The rooms were very large with a cool safari style and we felt like we were in the wilderness.
We had breakfast and dinner twice which was great. The service team, especially Ukul, gave us a perfect stay with many surprises.
The safari to Yala organized by the hotel was perfectly planned with snacks and cold drinks.
Thanks again :)
It’s literally living in the nature. You could hear the sound of peacocks and other birds in the residence. They also provided good service both in orientation and food serving. We were provided with delicious curry and fried rice. We booked safari through the hotel and the staff came with us as guide, helping us spot a lot of treasure animals. That’s the highlight in our stay.
The property is beautiful. Very comfortable, clean, excellent facilities. We loved meeting Ananda and his wonderful team, they all made our stay extra special. The cooking staff cooked up many delicious meals, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The pool was delightful and we spent many hours enjoying and relaxing.
Thank you team Rock Wild Yala. We will definitely be back.
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
The tents were super comfortable and clean. The atmosphere was so nice, pitch dark at night with fireflies all around. There are peacocks, all kinds of birds, cows, dogs in the hotel perimeter, kids enjoyed a lot. Dinner (bbq) and breakfast was good and filling. It is approx 25 min away from Yala National park entrance, so it is convenient.
I booked Yakaduru for a one-night safari experience, but it offered much more. Climbing into a treehouse offered breathtaking views of Yala, chena fields, the village, and the beach. The outdoor BBQ dinner was an addition to my experiences. Overall, Yakaduru provided memorable experiences beyond my expectations.
The Aqua Hotel offers a delightful retreat with its elegant ambiance and impeccable service. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and boast stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring that every need is met promptly.
This hotel, on the edge of Yala National Park is like a dream hotel. the staff are amazing and setting perfect and the wildlife which roam freely just make this hotel one of the best experiences you can have.
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.
