The rooms and staff were impeccably neat and good. Staff was very helpful and tended to all your needs. We didn't like the menu but they offered us srilankan food consisting of rice, curry, dal, different kinds of vegetables, papad and dessert. The food was lip smacking. We were beyond satisfied with the stay

Fantastic little campsite in the middle of the Sri Lankan bush, only accessible by 4WD. Head in here and feel the serenity. With just the two tents it's a small, perfectly-formed operation run by the wonderful host Nero, who not only looks after your every need but whips up amazing meals in his little camp kitchen, served on a table under the stars, with a bonfire to complete the magic. In the morning Nero took us on a safari in the nearby Yala National Park, which was magical at sunrise. Highly recommended.

This is such a special place to stay! We saw loads of wildlife around the property and out on the Safari. We booked two jungle family rooms for our family of 4 and they were spacious, clean and comfortable. The food was decent, drinks were yummy, and the service was great. They don't play music at the pool or restaurants and so you become attuned to all of the nature sounds around you. It's a wonderful place and great value!

We came to Yakaduru camp and had breakfast with delicious Sri Lankan traditional meals. Before we arrived, we could plan everything, like what food we wanted and what experiences we wanted to have. Their contact lines were very friendly and helped us plan our stay nicely, so we felt safe coming here. We got to experience so many things, like visiting the chena, going on a Yala safari, having tea on the rock, going on bush walks, driving to the beach, and having a hoppers night. The staff was really friendly and always made sure we were comfortable. During our two-day stay, we had a good and comfortable environment. It felt like we were at home. So, thank you to the Yakaduru staff for everything, and a special thank you to the owners for creating such a good vibe for visitors.

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 national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long.
Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

The hike in the nature reserve was amazing, we saw lots of amazing animals and landscapes.
Were lucky and we were able to meet the tiger as well.
It is important to note that the trip should take drinks and food, the hotel staff where we were did not tell us the length of the trip and did not make sure to let us know that we should take care of ourselves.
Of course we were smarter and brought with us the necessary equipment ..
But there were those next to us who did not and that was unfortunate

We stayed at Laya Beach resort which was very beautiful and was very close to our safari's which made our stay even better.
The beach, however, was too rough to swim which was a little disappointing.
We loved everything about this hotel! As this is a small hotel (only 3 rooms), we were the only guests (we booked 2 rooms here). Everything looks like new, there’s a nice pool zone, you can reach beach on foot (takes less than 10 minutes). The staff was amazing and we couldn’t imagine a better service. They prepared a lunch box for our 5AM Yala safari tour. We also had lunch and dinner here - the food was amazing and the portions were huge. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who considers having a safari at Yala national park!
Leopard Nest in Yala offers a unique glamping experience amidst nature. The tents are spacious and well-equipped, providing comfort without losing the sense of adventure. The staff is attentive and the food is delicious, often featuring local cuisine. However, being close to wildlife means occasional encounters with insects and other creatures, so be prepared. Overall, it's a great option for those seeking a balance between luxury and the thrill of the outdoors.
Wow! Honestly could not recommend this stay when staying in Yala. The staff are absolutely amazing and made the trip so much more enjoyable and stress free. I loved my time here so much and we extended our stay. The tent was immaculate and a lot nicer than most hostels we have stayed in. It was so close to the national park yet so very secure. The camp site itself is lovely. I really really couldn’t recommend it enough. You will not be disappointed.
Would recommend staying here for the Yala Safari. The host can organize for you with an experienced guide. When you get to the park the difference in experience is night and day between those tearing around the park and those which know to wait and allow the animals to come out. Can't fault the location either, super close to Yala with a little private beach. Apparently elephants and turtles both frequent the area too, but not when we were there.
We loved our stay at Allure. From the moment we arrived, Ishan and the team really looked after us.
The rooms and hotel in general are absolutely gorgeous. Huge comfy beds, lovely big bathrooms and private little pool areas.
The location is great for visiting Yala National Park. It is really peaceful right by beautiful lake - we saw an amazing sunset from the rooftop one evening.
It's one of the most memorable places we've ever stayed.
Hotel is very clean and provides u great hospitality. Hotel room was very big and nice view. The hotel owner is very helpful and will guide u throughout your stay. The hotel provides u almost every facilities from good rooms to Yala park safari trip, jeep safari. We saw many wild animals and Leopard. There was a very nice restaurant too.
Overall experience was awesome. I'll recommend this hotel to every couple and families :)
Lovely hotel with a good room and nice swimming pool.
Staff were really friendly and helpful when I cut my leg and got plasters for her.
The restaurant manager, Samphah, ensured that we had a fabulous Sri Lankan curry for dinner.
The location was convenient to access Yala NP.
We went on an early Safari in Yala NP and they supplied a really nice packed breakfast.
Paid by credit card with no charges.
Big Game made my stay incredibly unique.
I love how close it is to Yala Safari Park, the ambience if staying in a tent, how peaceful it is to hear the nature’s singing.
The generosity and kindness of the staff, Avinka was great on explaining and giving a night walk tour around the camp at night.
The bbq dinner at the camp under the stars and moon was also a perfect experience.
🙏🏻 thank you.
This hotel is beautifully located in the Yala park. You get to see a lot of wildlife without even leaving the hotel. We saw crocodiles, water buffalo, lots of beautiful birds, wild boar roaming the hotel and of course monkeys. The food was one of the best. In the evening you have to be escorted back to your room for safety reasons, there was always staff there to help and this was not a problem.
Yakaduru exceeded all my expectations! Would happily recommend this to anyone and would stay again. The property is lovely, the location is amazing, the staff (especially Nishantha) were incredible and so was the food! Having a team that also provides tours of the Yala national park is great, makes the whole experience seamless! If you are wanting to experience Yala I would highly recommend Yakduru
The staff were excellent, the safari drivers were excellent. The location was near the entrance to Yala National Park, and they tried to make our experience very special. We saw lots of wild animals including elephants, 2 kinds of monkeys, crocodiles, boars, water-buffalo, big lizards, mongoose, peacocks, eagles, owls, lots of deer, 4 sloth bears, and even a leopard!
Udara's place is absolutely amazing. You have an entire house with comfort for you. Everything is new. Udara and his family are kind and helped us a lot organizing the safari in Yala at a very reasonable price and giving us the best experience. the mother of Udara cooked for us a huge and delicious dinner. thank you Udara
the rooms were spacious, the food was delicious, the staff was wonderful...the experience of "glamping" in the national park surrounded by nature and no walls was quite exciting. The safari was fun, the food provided was great, and we had a BBQ night which exceeded our expectations.
Exceptional experience at O2 Villas Yala! So beautiful, private and peaceful. Amazing staff! So accommodating and truly went the extra mile. Lovely pool and views! A monkey even came to visit on the balcony. What an experience!
Lovely place to stay, as described on the website. We had very soft sheets and both air conditioning and a fan to keep cool. The hotel organised our safari and provided breakfast, it was a great trip and we even saw a leopard!
The staff were mostly all very friendly and helpful. Shout out to the bar manager who looked after us exceptionally well every time we went in. The hotel is close to the safari park gate.
Beautiful hotel in a Yala National Park. The food was great, lots of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we were welcomed and looked after by all the friendly staff.
The rooms and location were amazing. The staff was friendly and was a great overall experience. A must visit place just to experience luxury living amidst the jungle.
Beautiful setting near the beach and national park.
If felt that the hotel was respecting its environment around. Breakfast was super nice and diverse in choice.
