Nature Resort - Yala Safari Village

This is one of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka: Very helpful owner, very comfortable room: big beds, good mosquito nets, clean bathroom, clean bedsheets, enough pillows, big windows, dark & quiet at night. Every morning we received fresh fruits (from the garden) and coffee. Shops, busstation, restaurants, ... all in walking distance. We btw like it so much that we extend two more nights.

The wifi is very weak and there are a lot of mosquitos at the patio

The rooms were very spacious. The bathrooms were well maintained. The person who was attending to us was really helpful. The place is a 10min walk from a few restaurants and convenience stores which was great. We also got towels for everyone in the room

At night there could be a lot of insects that will get attracted to the lights so make sure you keep your doors closed.

Excellent value for money. Packed breakfast very early for Yala trip.

Good value hotel for a quick pit stop to visit Yala National park, big breakfast and lovely view from 1st floor rooms over looking the paddy fields.

The room was big, both beds had mosquito nets and were comfortable. The room was hot but the ventilator kept the room at good temperature. The toilet was also good. The area was calm and quiet. Really good price-quality

The host asked me 2 days before my arrival if I wanted to book the safari with them for $60. I confirmed this so I didnt arrange anything on my own. When I checked in the hotel (7pm, which is kind of late for Sri Lanka), they informed me that in the end there was no safari booked as it was low season and they could not find any jeeps available for sharing. They told me I may need to go privately which was significantly more expensive. I declined this and complaint, however said I would not book something private with them. Without them knowing, I contacted someone else online that offered me the whole safari shared for $100, so there were clearly spots available. An hour later, the hotel did contact me to let me know the safari had now been arranged as previously agreed - I ended up going with them as it was cheaper. The safari was good, and the room was excellent, but the way they handled my safari reservation was poor (and dodgy)

Our host was amazing, deffo recommend
