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 !!!!

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.

We loved our stay. We were in Yala just one night and took advantage of the pool the first day and booked a safari for the next morning. The hotel is wonderfully clean and well maintained. But what was even better was the staff. We are both vegans and the staff did everything right for the dinner. We got a full set meal rice and curry with 6 different currys - even soy meat curry! And this was just perfect. The sundown from our hotel room was just insane btw. They also gave us a vegan breakfast to take with us on the safari!

Dont book this hotel. Dishonest owner. Did not keep his promise n attached our WhatsApp conversation. I regret the choice of accommodation. The Wild Trails Yala & Wild Trails Yala by Suri are the same hotels. They don't have a water heater, n we had to shower in cold, miserable poor water pressure water n bed frame was broken n did not fix it. Mattress was placed on the floor. Overpriced with dated property

A very beautiful, very stylish, still cosy hotel. Some of the rooms even suitable for groups up to eight. And the jewel: Appu and his wife and grandson. Caretaker and cooks of delicious Sri Lankan cuisine. Nice pool. Close to the Yala entrance. We very much enjoyed our safari with the smart and experienced driver, also organised by the hotel.

All staff were pleasant, welcoming and attentive. The hotel was peaceful and relaxing, with a strong focus on sustainability. A wide range of choices were available at meal times with organic and locally sourced products. The location was perfect for Jeep Safaris into Yala with provision of an excellent packed lunch on request.
