Tringa Villas Yala

The location, commodities and the workers (super kindys)

Althougth they have a good food, not is easy go out for dinner!

I liked the layout of the hotel with the pool in the center, the close location to the Yala entrance and the very kind staff! The rooms are very spacious. The breakfast was also very nice with a few options (English breakfast or Sri Lankan), but we opted out for dinner elsewhere due to mixed reviews.

1. Unfortunately the level of cleanliness is under average. The bathrooms have lots of calcium deposits, the towels had stains that couldn’t be removed and the bed sheets had to be changed. 2. The pool was very murky and full of insects (yes the insects cannot be avoided) but if you cannot see your feet when standing, you start to doubt how clean the water actually is. 3. The rooms are very dark even during the day. 4. Not really a negative point, but you can only for the rooms in cash upfront…

We stayed the night before doing Safari. Would have loved to stay an extra night. Lovely spot, that is peaceful and quiet, rooms are an excellent size and access to the pool was great!

Very good would definitely recommend.

All good

This is perfect place to stay near yala... friendly staff ... one of the best clean place I visited.

It was very pretty outside. And the rooms looked nice on first impression. A/C worked in our room and shower was okay. Manager did go out to get some bread and other food that they couldn’t make in house for us.

Food was NOT nice, saw two mice go into the kitchen as well. We couldn’t stomach eating there in the end and had to drive 20min away to a restaurant. Don’t advertise you have a restaurant when you have to source some of the food from outside restaurants and then what you cook in-house is nasty. When you wanted help, couldn’t find any staff. Staff were untrained. Charged for things they didn’t tell us they would charge us for. (Charged us 350lkr for tiny water bottles that appeared complimentary and were placed on the table without asking or letting us know it would cost money! Can buy a 5L water bottle from supermarket for 400lkr, would NOT have taken the water had we known they would charge us for it). Definitely an overpriced hotel! Photos on booking.com not accurate. Owner was rude and arrogant - when we tried to complain and explain the situation over the phone (because owner lives in Colombo) he did not care one bit. The manager on site seemed a bit deceitful as well, charging us more money for food one night even tho we asked for the exact same meal. There was mould in the bedroom. And the rooms were very dark inside, not enough lighting, couldn’t even tell if it was sunny outside. Would not stay here again. Has potential to improve if the staff cared and put effort in, were trained, rooms renovated, and better management. We also had to pay upfront, before our stay, which we found surprising since every other facility didn’t do that.

Its good and helthy BF and location is really good .. sourounding of the room is unbelievable lot of Birds souds and staff is very frindly food is excellent . I really happy to stay my holiday such a greeny, peasfull & cool place.

Nothing to say..

We were lucky and had the property to ourselves, the rooms are large and comfortable very clean, the staff were lovely they allowed us to bring our own drinks which was nice around the pool, food was also lovely.
