Our experience at Yakaduru was nothing short of exceptional! The host, his naturalist and also the rest of the team went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their warmth and knowledge added an enriching layer to our visit, making it truly outstanding. The entire team exhibited unparalleled cooperation, ensuring that every detail of our experience was tailored to perfection. Their commitment to providing the best service was evident in their efforts to go the extra mile. Let's talk about the food—it was an absolute delight! Kudos to the chef and the kitchen team for their incredible dishes. The rooms were a beautiful fusion of earthy aesthetics, sustainability, and immaculate cleanliness. It's rare to find accommodations that are not only comfortable but also environmentally conscious—a true testament to their dedication to responsible hospitality. In summary, this place isn't just a stay—it's an experience crafted with care, passion, and a genuine desire to provide guests with something truly exceptional. It is a must visit spot in Sri Lanka

We loved the little house with it’s own veranda to have a morning coffee. It’s also very quiet which we really enjoyed. Very recommended!

The host and all the staff members are extremely helpful. We arrived around lunch time and via Whatsapp we coordinated our lunch order, so we we arrived, we could immediately enjoy the lovely lunch. The rooms are extremely large, which is ideal for a family. We enjoyed sunny weather, but even when it rains, you feel super comfy and cozy in the villa. The kids loved the outing to the beach and the garden area. We had a lovely long weekend!

Our two-night stay at this hotel was undoubtedly one of the best experiences we've ever had, and certainly the best in Sri Lanka. The room was amazing—spacious, beautifully decorated, and tastefully designed. The hotel facilities were excellent, including a stunning pool overlooking the rice fields, a mini-golf course, and an air rifle shooting range. We had all our meals at the hotel, trying various dishes, and every single one was exceptional—far superior to anything else we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. We also booked a safari through the hotel, and we highly recommend it. The process was effortless, and they even prepared a small basket with water and cookies for us to take along. Last but not least, the staff were incredibly attentive, always smiling, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Without a doubt, a truly unique and unforgettable experience!

Staying at Wild Coast Tented Lodge was truly a lifetime experience. The rooms and facilities are absolutely out of this world — they manage to perfectly blend raw jungle nature with high-end luxury. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were part of something truly special. The location is incredible — you’re literally in the jungle, surrounded by wildlife, with the sound of nature all around you. Our tented cocoon was stunning: beautifully designed, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with attention to every little detail. What made the experience even more unforgettable was the amazing staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to accommodate any need. You can tell they genuinely care about making your stay perfect. This isn’t just a hotel stay — it’s an adventure, a retreat, and a 5-star escape all in one. I can’t recommend it enough!

The place is really well located close to the gate of the Yala sanctuary. It was very clean and comfortable. The management communicated with us very well before the beginning of our stay. On site staff were very proffessional and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, the bbq was amazing. You wake up to the song of million birds and perhaps get to see some peafowl near the pool. The place has such a relaxing atmosphere that we would go back in a hearbeat.

Lovely friendly staff on arrival who explained about the property and facilities. The accommodation was excellent, very clean with everything needed for a night’s stay. The two fans in the tent were much needed due to it being very hot and humid Booked the evening meal and early morning safari the next day. The food was delicious and eating outside was a lovely experience, especially gazing up to see all the many stars. All staff very attentive and a good choice of food and drink.

Everything! We absolutely loved our stay at wild culture. The hotel is stunning, food was great, the staff were incredible and there was a load of small activities to do just in case the safari and pool weren’t enough. The papaya juice on arrival was our favourite one of the holiday. So pleased we booked here it was a highlight of our trip.

Our favorite stay and experience in Sri Lanka! From the warm welcome with a fresh drink to the friendly, attentive staff, everything was wonderful. The accommodation was excellent, clean, and charming, with a delightful outdoor shower. The food was delicious, offering a wide selection for lunch and dinner. We also loved the walk around the bushes with the hotel’s ranger.

Yakaduru is the best safari and camping place. You can reach the camp easily from the main road using any vehicle. The accommodations are good and offer a unique village-like experience. The safari is excellent, and you can request specific things you need. They arranged our food as we requested, packing it for our safari trip. The stay was comfortable and friendly. Initially, we only planned to go on the safari, but we also enjoyed a BBQ night, a 2-hour bush walk, and a beach drive. It was a great experience!

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
