An exceptional family stay, in December 2024, this was a newly built facility. The family run hotel had a homely atmosphere, everyone was super friendly and polite. The owner has put a lot of thought into the layout and details of the whole hotel. The room are expansive, very comfortable and immaculately clean. The private balconies offer great views over the picturesque rice fields and beyond to the lake. The gardens are teaming with birds. The pool is well maintained, and very welcome after a long journey. The food was super fresh and very tasty, home cooked in a very clean open air kitchen. The owner arranged our Yala safari. We had a very enjoyable stay, in hide sight we should have stayed longer.

I loved everything about this place. I would like to start by commending Gayan, the host! He is probably the best and nicest host I've had in Sri Lanka. He sent me to the town FOC to get some of the best Sri Lankan food I've eaten, given me a free nature tour around the lake where we can see fruit bats and owls, arranged the safari at the most affordable rate I could find, had some of the most interesting conversations about plants, animals, Sri Lankan culture, etc. Everything in this place felt like a family home. We had tea at 4AM before the safari and was also welcomed back with a king coconut! The room was also amazingly clean, spacious, well decorated and came with an extra cooler fan because Tissa can get quite hot. I definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again!

It was really nice. The surroundings of the hotel were amazing, the owner explained everything so we didn’t miss a thing. We walked around the both lakes near the hotel and saw crocodiles, all kind of birds, etc. the property es super clean and they serve you coffee and tea whenever you want. The owner and his family were really kind, it shows how much they care a about everyone having a good stance. Really friendly, we really liked talking with them. Also no words for the amazing food they cooked. Really nice experience.

I had an absolutely unforgettable experience at Yala Wild Hut glamping site. This is located close to Yala National Park. Accommodation facilities are awesome, and the Food is really delicious and full credit goes to the crew for their hospitality. Tea on the rocks, the bush walk and safari were the clear highlights of my stay. I had evening tea on top of the rock and the view was amazing. After tea the bush walk was equally amazing, as I got to explore the bush and its various plant and animal species on foot. The Naturalist’s guidance was excellent at pointing out interesting facts and details about the environment, making the experience all the more enriching. I had an outdoor BBQ dinner experience which was great. Early morning, they arranged the Safari with an experienced guide which was incredibly knowledgeable and took me on exciting and informative tours of the surrounding wildlife. He does personal guided tours of the national park and takes you to the best spots to watch and wait for Leopards and Bear. I saw a variety of animals, including a leopard sprawled across the road, a tusker, mud-bathing buffaloes, and lots of spotted deer, up close and personal. Aside from the safari and bush walk, the camp itself was comfortable and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Yala Wild Hut to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure immersed in the tranquility of the wilderness. Accommodation facilities are awesome. I would recommend the “Yala Wild Hut” to anyone.

Wow, such an amazing place. The guesthouse have the best location with the most beautiful view over the rice fields. It’s close to Yala and you can easily walk to the supermarket. The host is so nice and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. The room have everything you need and was really clean. They came with tea many times doing the day which we really enjoyed. We would love to come back another time.

Very nice location right next to the rice field. It is located a little bit outside of the city, but the city center is located in a walking distance (and there is actually nothing to see 🙂). Instead, you can sit outside in the garden and watch birds in the rice fields. You can even order some meals, and we got many cups of tea during our stay 🙂

Nice, quiet location, away from hustle and bustle of the city center. Owner Manju knows a lot about Sri Lanka, from his extensive experience as a tour guide. He can give great advice and helped us out at the moment our tuktuk broke down. Very good food. We booked a safari through the hotel, and it was a great experience. Good driver that knows how to find all the animals and really takes pride in finding them. We saw the leopard, elephants, elks, jackals, sloth bear and many more.

An absolutely stunning place to stay! We were surrounded by luscious greenery and spotted kingfishers and peacocks as we relaxed by the poolside. Our cabin was clean, spacious and comfortable and the breakfast and dinner were delicious. Amila and his family were so friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful - they arranged an excellent safari, took us to a local festival and sorted our transport to our next location.

Beautiful place to stay, really great rooms, view and pool. The staff were lovely (and especially their gorgeous dogs!) The food was also really really good here- they do need 1.5 hrs to prep and make food so I would recommend ordering in advance rather than waiting until you are hungry but it is very worth it as it was some of the best food we had all trip. Great location for getting to Yala too and we liked the company for Safari they booked for us.
