The staff is incredibly hospitable. The room was amazing, and the pool and pool bar were very nice. The staff told us an elephant passed in front of our room by the pool at dusk but we just missed it

There were many wonderful experiences to be had at Yakaduru Yala. We explored the forest areas and observed the farmers working in the chena fields of Sri Lanka. Climbing up to the treehouses was another highlight. When we needed a break, we enjoyed refreshing coconut shell tea from the chena. The people at Yakaduru were incredibly helpful and hospitable, ensuring we were always well taken care of with delicious food, drinks, and new adventures. One of our favorite experiences was Hoppers Night, where we got to cook and enjoy hoppers with the assistance of the staff. Additionally, we admired the traditional masks found throughout Yakaduru Yala, and appreciated the environmental focus evident in the buildings, tables, and walls.

Everything is fairly new. Large sitting area for chatting with friends. We went to Yala Safari with Udara, we liked that our crew did not rush, but captured the moments. Udara is attentive and sincere. Shares his knowledge about birds.

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.

Unbeatable location, right next to a beautiful secluded beach and only 15 minute drive from Yala national park. The hosts are fantastic and have created a very special place, we felt like guests rather than clients. The home cooked dinner was amazing (likely the best culinary experience we’ve had during hotel stays), and it’s very nice to be able to chat with other guests lodging at the resort. Hosts can also help arrange safaris (but you can book directly, if preferred). I loved it so much that we came back twice :) can only recommend!

Great location if you plan to safari as it’s right in the Yala national park. Secluded so once here you have to use all the hotel amenities but they’re excellent so no complaints here. The food and service was superb throughout our 2 night 3 day stay. Would recommend if visiting Yala national park for sure.

Hotel is close to Yala National Park and is ideal for travelers looking for affordable accommodation close to the national park. The facilities are not as great as the big chain hotels, but all the basic amenities are available.

Good breakfast. Perfect location is, like us, you want to take a safari at the Yala national park. Safari was well arranged by the hotel. The monkeys joining us whilst at the swimming pool was a great addition.
