Yala Wild House

Such a friendly owner and staff - cooked us dinner which was yummy and then played the drums and sang local music with us which was such an amazing experience. The property is set in nature and feels authentic and super close to yala entrance.

Nothing! There are a few bugs around including in the room but that is expected with a rural property like this. Just to be aware if you don’t like bugs!

The property was perfect - we really felt at home

We really enjoyed our stay there, it's basic but we had everything we needed. The surrounding area was very nice and clean. The staff was very helpful. Dinner was really amazing. We got useful information and good recommendation for beach area to go - we went to Goyambokka and really enjoyed it.

Noting to say

Where do I begin. Prinyantha, the owner and his beautiful family, looked after us so well. He took us into town for a tour of the Buddist Temple and then back to his authentic environmental wonderland. The dinner was exceptional, and after dinner, he drummed to some tunes and made us laugh and have the best time. He organised our driver for the Safari and our transfers to Mirissa Tue the next day but not before a delicious lunch after our safari. His wife's fish curry was by far the best we've eaten in Sri Lanka. This experience would cost us a fortune at one of the zoos in Australia. If you love nature, this place is for you ♥️

Host picked me up from Tissa and was very welcoming. I was taken on a walking and motorcycle tour at dusk where I saw an elephant and a crocodile! I was kindly introduced to the host’s family and enjoyed tea with them. I would highly recommend the dinner of tuna curry, potato curry and side dishes. The accommodation was very cute, clean and I felt the full jungle experience. The hotel also kindly organised the safari tour which was incredible, I even saw a leopard. There is also a very friendly dog at the house who is so sweet !!

We had an unforgettable two-night stay at Yala Wild House, and I can't recommend it enough! The accommodation is perfectly nestled in the heart of nature, offering an immersive jungle experience. The wildlife here is abundant, with vibrant birds all around and the stunning starry skies at night—a true paradise for nature lovers. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making for a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration. What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the owner. He is the most welcoming, kind-hearted person you'll ever meet, and his passion for Yala National Park shines through in everything he does. He went out of his way to make us feel at home, even helping us arrange a safari at a very reasonable price. The food was another highlight. The family serves up traditional Sri Lankan dishes that are both flavorful and satisfying. Every meal was a delight! If you're looking for a genuine, off-the-beaten-path experience in Yala, Yala Wild House is the place to stay. The combination of great hospitality, incredible surroundings, and delicious food makes it a truly special spot. Highly recommended!

Very Friendly family. Helps you with everything. Also cute dogs at the camp.

Everything

Lovely family run buisness! Super friendly/ helpful host and amazing food! The whole place is alive with birds, absolutely recommended. It's situated very close to yala national park and jeep tours can be arranged. Go and stay there, if you are not afraid of the odd frog in the bathroom or gecko at the wall. Also two v cute dogs!
