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.

The location of the hotel was stunning and very peaceful. Breakfast and dinner in the restaurant upstairs were delicious. A breakfast package was prepared for us which was great for the day we had safari starting at 5am although tea/coffee and snacks were also available from 5am in the bar for early risers.

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.
This is a great hotel and we had a very enjoyable 3 night stay. The location is excellent, less than 5 minutes from the entrance to Yala. The hotel is in a lovely spot - there is direct access to the beach and the pool overlooks a lake with buffalo, crocodiles, birds etc. The rooms are well equipped, a good size and very comfortable. Dinner is a choice of a la carte or buffet - the buffet food was excellent, very high quality and plenty of choice. The staff were great, very friendly and always smiling and helped us with a late check out.
The staff at the Yala Hotel went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Their warm welcome and genuine smiles made me feel right at home. This was a campsite with power supplied by cells and water trucked in every four days.
During the first night, they lit special candle lanterns around our site just to make the place warm and cozy.
Just before we left, Indika the manager gave me the opportunity to plant an orange tree on the grounds. He promised to send me photos of the progress. I am looking forward to it.
One of the most unique and amazing properties I’ve been to in South Asia. Near the Yala National Park and having an amazing tour guides expect to see leopards elephants buffalos all types of birds and more… with an amazing staff super attentive, rooms to die for, clean spacious and fast WiFi. I will highly recommend this hotel for your stay on Yala. They even arranged for pick up at my Colombo hotel and back with a quick stop in Ella. It was wonderful trip
Very friendly staff and clean room! We stayed there for one night only as we wanted to visit the Yala National Park before heading to Ella. The hotel is located near to a beach which was quite busy and crowded with locals. There were many small shops/kiosks around the beach shore so do not expect privacy there. The hotel itself was good. The staff helped us with arranging a tour to the Yala National Park and were very helpful all around.
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
Situated near Yala National Park and Palatupana Beach, it's a haven for adventure seekers and relaxation enthusiasts alike. From exciting safaris to tranquil evenings by the BBQ, every experience was unforgettable. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the accommodations were both comfortable and charming. We wholeheartedly recommend Yakaduru for a truly unique getaway!
Fantastic property with stunning scenes even as you enter, and as you walk around = on a beach, near a jungle (national park) and with a few mountains in the background; Excellent night sky views when not cloudy
Swimming pool looked superb (but we didn't end up using)
Rooms are large and have great amenities including fast wifi across the hotel
Good value for money
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.
Great place to stay if you are wanting to visit Yala for safari. Large rooms, good Sri Lankan food and nice to have the option to use the swimming pool. Good communication with host via WhatsApp He arranged our transfers and an excellent safari trip where we saw elephants. A good base for if you are wanting to visit Yala for safari
This place is perfect if you want to do Yala safaris. We arranged ours through the hotel and was great fun and good value. The room was clean and comfortable with lovely views out across the surrounding countryside. The refreshing welcoming drinks were a great touch. There's an amazing restaurant 5 minutes walk called The Flavour.
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.
My stay in Cinnamon Wild Yala was excellent! Room was in perfect condition. Both breakfast and dinner buffets were great. Staff were very kind too. I would definitely recommend it to everyone planning a visit in Yala National Park.
Exceptional experience at O2 Villas Yala! So beautiful, private and peaceful. Amazing staff! So accommodating and truly went the extra mile. Lovely pool and views! A monkey even came to visit on the balcony. What an experience!
Exceptional staff, pristine rooms! From check-in to departure, the team here goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Coupled with rooms that are impeccably clean, it's a winning combination near the national park.
The venue is really close to a beautiful, wild beach, close to Yala and much nature. Very much recommend, and unlike a lot of venues we stayed at in Sri Lanka, the shower and bathroom was fantastic. Definitely recommend!!
Amazing two days at Jetwing Yala. Such a beautiful property right on the beach. The pool with a pool bar was the highlight of our stay. The hotel is on the beach so there's the option to go for a swim in the ocean.
Such a different room (or I should say tent) style, eveything was as expected from a 5 star hotel. Stayed 1 night, breakfast & dinner options and taste were really good.
The rooms and location were amazing. The staff was friendly and was a great overall experience. A must visit place just to experience luxury living amidst the jungle.
