"Comfortable tents in a peaceful natural setting!"

8.0

Spacious, clean, and cool tents. The bed was very comfortable, and the toilet was clean with hot water available. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet, and the lodge blends beautifully with the natural environment of Yala National Park. The staff were very nice and helpful, and the outdoor dinner we had was delicious.

We loved the place and would definitely go again. But, it’s worth keeping in mind, though, that this stay is ideal if you’re visiting Yala National Park or simply looking to relax and disconnect in nature.

"Amazing experience from start to finish"

10.0

We stayed in the cottage and it was beautiful, clean, cool, bed was comfy, shower and toilet clean and hot water shower. The outdoors in so peaceful and quiet perfect for relaxing before a safari. The staff are so nice and there is even a baby croc living there. From the second we got there everything was professional and organised, they asked if we wanted lunch to pre order, it was ready for when we arrived, they explained how everything will work with the timings for the safari, breakfast, and organised our transfer to Hiriketiya all on time and stress free The food was amazing, the soup was my favourite! We booked the private safari for the morning, everything was organised and on time, it was AMAZING the safari driver was so good he knew how to spot everything we saw leopard elephants birds crocodiles mongoose buffalo deer monkeys eagle My favourite place in Sri Lanka!

Literally nothing

"Great facilities but noisy stay and disappointing staff"

5.0

I loved the glamping-style stay (the room and bathroom were great).

I was quite disappointed by a couple of things. First, I was unable to rest because it was so noisy. I may have been unlucky (it was a bank holiday), but very loud music playing in a neighboring property and people were playing music quite loudly on their phones close-by. I also thought the staff's attitude was surprising for this kind of place: they were not very helpful or forthcoming.

"A great experience on the edge of the Yala National Park"

9.0

A peaceful place to stay on the edge of Yala National Park. We stayed in a glamping tent which was just perfect - complete with ensuite bathroom and generous terrace. Real highlight was the meals served under the stairs. Staff organised our full day safari (big shout out to our guide Supoon!) which was a great day out - from 5am to around 6pm - a must do in Yala. a real immersive experience! We even borrowed the bikes (free) to explore the lakes and surrounds

We loved everything about the lodge!

A tenda é espaçosa, a cama confortável , chuveiro impecável, praticamente ao ar livre mas mantendo possibilidade de usar água quente. Têm repelente de insetos, chaleira para chá e café e um alpendre muito confortável. Pequeno almoço variado e delicioso Marcaram nos o safari pelo parque natural e o guia era extremamente simpático

Nada a apontar
