+1. Good location. Well appointed large rooms with good beds, mattresses, pillows, and large bathrooms. +2. Superb surroundings, well kept lawns, trees and other nature elents. The garden staff are awesome. +3. Ms. Nawodha, Ms.Shakiya, Ms.Dileka and Mr.Hasitha, all are front office staff, who are professional, attentive and courteous. Sri Lanka needs more good workers like these guys in the hospitality sector. A big thank you to them. +4. Restaurant staff are good, courteous, and very efficient. A big thank you to all of them. +5. Reasonably good food. I believe the food could be better. The chef must work on creating better food with more variety. Food is a very important aspect of any hotel, and it should be handled carefully. +6. A very good size pool, very well kept. The pool young attendant gentleman is absolutely hardworking. He is really am assett tpnthis hotel. He keeps the pool absolutely clean at all times.

Everything was perfect! Udara is a wonderful host and will go out of his way to ensure his guests have the most memorable experience. He brought us to a temple for sunset along the coast. The sweetest little monkey called Pinky was there and loved to be around humans. His mother and aunt cooked us a delicious variety of curries for a private dinner in the villa. We went on safari with Udara’s company Yala Safari Wonders which I also highly recommend. The villa was pristine in terms of cleanliness. Highly would recommend!!!

    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.

    Amazing hospitality by the staff – they went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. As a vegetarian with specific dietary restrictions, I truly appreciated how every meal was carefully prepared to suit my requirements. The word “No” simply didn’t exist in their service. A special mention to chef Nandana, who took excellent care of us and made sure we were well fed. I highly recommend this hotel if you’re planning for a safari in Yala. The hotel itself is in the middle of the natural reserve.

    We had the most magnificent stay at Hilton Yala. Everything was perfect. You could really see that the hotel was newly built, everything in the room was perfect and designed to perfection and the rooms are very spacious. The personal was also super helpful and very friendly and catered all of our wishes. We even had the chance to see an elephant only a few meters away while we were laying on the pool and he entered the property which was amazing! Would definitely go back immeadiately.

    We had an incredible stay at Yakaduru Hotel in Yala National Park. We particularly loved our villa, its private pool, and its cleanliness. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. What truly made our stay memorable, however, was the outstanding service—everyone was genuinely kind, attentive, and eager to ensure we had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this hotel and sincerely hope to return.

    The hotel is a small boutique hotel surrounded by beautiful rice paddy fields on the edge of Yala National Park. The location is very peaceful and the service was very good. It also has an amazing pool, and lovely grounds. A special thanks to Upul who went out of his way to meet my dietary requirements and provided excellent service through our stay.
