Ranakeliya Lodge - Yala

The tent was one of the most amazing places we’ve stayed while in Sri Lanka, it really made the safari experience feel even more authentic! The staff were really lovely, especially the staff member who helped us go looking for the croc each night and Janake our safari leader! They both really made our time there special. The food was really amazing, especially our meal by the campfire!

The staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and the location and site was perfect. Loved our little tent and bathroom, so clean and had everything you could need

Ranakeliya Lodge is one of those hidden gems in Yala. Location is so quite and serene it’s the perfect place to escape civilization. It’s also roughly 20 mins from the Yala National Park. Coming from a hospitality background I must say the staff are simply star classed. Madushanka, Chamindu and the entire team were all warm, welcoming and attended to all our requests/ questions. They all made us feel right at home. They even arranged our Yala Safari trips and the guides/ drivers were all on time. The guides somehow made sure we saw 3 leopards which we were not able to see the first time we went and they were so professional. We spent 3 nights here and it was really hard for us to say goodbye. We highly recommend Ranakeliya Lodge and definitely would come back 🫶🏼

Nothing everything was perfect.

We absolutely loved our stay, it was such a beautiful location and the accommodation was amazing and very beautiful! The staff were incredible and so welcoming and helpful. We stayed in the tent option which was very large and also had air-conditioning which was fantastic, we loved the semi-outdoor shower. We had the BBQ dinner which was phenomenal, so delicious and beautifully presented and extremely filling, the creme brulee was one of the best I've ever eaten! We did a morning safari and the staff had breakfast ready for us on our return and checkout. Would 100% recommend this location for anyone looking for a unique and beautiful stay in Yala in a quieter location. We were able to be dropped off and picked up for/from our safaris easily as its very close to Yala National Park.

The beds in the tent were a little harder than what we are used to.

I highly recommend Ranakeliya Lodge. The staff, the location, the room, the food were all fantastic and beyond my expectations as it was incredibly affordable. The staff were friendly and attentive but not overbearing, the food was delicious, filling and reasonably priced, the rooms were spacious, comfortable and had great privacy and the lodge itself felt elevated and luxurious with stand alone rooms/tents. We did not book the safari but on second thought we should have as they provided a much better experience compared to the one we found on the internet as we heard from the 2 other guests who had a more relaxing safari experience. Shan sent us videos of leopards as well and they took us on a tour around the lodge multiple times, including the nearby rice field.

Nothing could have been done better.

环境很棒，离雅拉公园挺近的，第一次住帐篷房间，很有趣，帐篷边上还有个吊床，躺的很舒适房间里面很干净，没啥蚊子，晚上吃饭的地方很有氛围，很好看，民宿员工的服务态度也很棒

Dormimos en la tienda y fue genial, tenía todos los detalles perfectos. Estaba muy limpia y la ducha es genial!!!

La cama es muy muy dura y la cena no nos gustó para el precio elevado que tiene

The calm location blends with nature. Nice surrounding. Delicious breakfast. Good service.

Nothing i remember

Übernachtung im Zelt mit 2 Kids, alles super, klimatisiert und alles sauber. Super Frühstück, Abendessen sehr reichlich. Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal.

Wir hatten ein Essen 2 mal bestellt und am 2. Abend wurde es anders zubereitet > etwas komisch.
