Oneof the most beautiful experiences in Sri lanka was directly in this accommodation, an incredible villa with a pool, a large room, cleanliness and comfort. we felt at home in the villa. Amazing staff who will fulfill your every wish and prepare an excellent dinner under the stars. A great manager who arranged a complete safari for us and who lives for the villa heart and soul. we recommend, 11.10

Excellent base for safari in yala. Only 15 minutes to the national park. Very welcoming, kind staff and always ready to help. They are well educated to show the wildlife, flora and fauna (really nice walk to a little village, exceptional safari in yala nationalpark). There is a rock just on the camp and after 2 minute walk you have a nice view. The rooms are fumigated every evening, so we didn't have to deal with any mosquitoes in the bed (the mosquito net worked perfectly if it was closed properly). We also didn't have to worry about elephants or other animals, as the doors could be closed well. We felt very safe at all times. The food was really good. If you like nature, it is just the perfect place to stay.

The host, Udara is awesome. He took us to a beautiful local temple and the scene behind the temple is beautiful and peaceful.... good place for meditation. He organised the safari trip for us. We had a home made packed breakfast on the safari , really good. We also ordered lunch cooked by Udara's mother.....yummy sri lankan food. Only regret, we only had 1 day at Yala.

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.

The hotel was very well designed and the amenities were excellent. Specific call out to the main restaurant where we had great service from the staff & chef (Jerome) and delicious meals catered to our taste. Being in the forest, it was a lovely experience to walk around the compound and wake up to the sight of animals within the vicinity (e.g. monkeys or squirrels in the morning). Would highly recommend this resort for visitors looking to do a safari at Yala National Park.

We had such an amazing time at Yaladuru! The hospitality was outstanding and the staff made us feel so welcomed. The outdoor style bedrooms was cool as it was something different. We were even treated to dinner and a show! The safari organised through the hotel was really good as well and they purchase tickets online so we got to be one of the first into the park. Would highly recommend staying here for your visit to Yala.
