Yala Leopard Lodge

Very good location close to Yala park The hotel can help you arrange safari to the park. The staff is very welcoming

Pool and decor was Nice. Food was really delicious and plentiful

Room was very cramped with an extra single bed despite it being a option on booking.com Didn’t have food / drink to order, needed to be pre ordered which was tricky with kids. Beer had run out. Would have been nice to have a cold beer. There was no one that spoke English. We had read lots off great reviews about the hospitality but we did not experience that. We asked to arrange an evening / sunset tour of some sort and that wasn’t possible. They did arrange taxi and morning tour well though.

Such amazing service. Loved every minute and felt like family.

Perfect place to stay if you’re planning on an early morning safari. Beautiful rooms great food and staff so friendly and welcoming Pool was a perfect place to cool off after the safari

We had a truly fantastic stay at Yala Leopard Lodge. Great location, close to national park entrance. Comfortable, clean rooms. Very helpful, friendly staff who really care about their guests. Excellent food. Clean and well maintained swimming pool. We highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

Lovely friendly helpful staff. Beautiful room. Delicious food. Good location not too far from Yala entrance gate. Really enjoyed the bonus sunset trip with the manager to a local ancient Buddhist temple at a scenic beach location. Perfect pool for our relaxing between safaris.

Nothing really, however as well as providing beer it might be nice to have wine available (though the manager did buy us some from Tissa). Perhaps also a hair dryer in the room.

The staff here were very friendly and helpful. Madhushani was very kind and took us to the beach and temple for a tour to share a very memorable authentic experience with us - what a nice man!! We did a safari from the hotel and this was amazing also - our guide Dimuthu was very purposeful in making sure we saw all of the animals at the park. The food here was very good and the pool was a welcome relaxation after a hot morning. The rooms are cute and well decorated.

The location is lovely and rural, but not close enough to anything (snacks, tourist spots) to walk. No hair dryer available on site.

The staff including the manager Priyadarshan, Chef Thushan as well as Buddhia and Ahmad went over and beyond. Nice sunset tour of the area at no cost was provided. They procured things we were interested in eating and cooked excellent meals. The staff was always there to help with a smiling disposition. Wish the rooms were bigger and brighter.

The staff which I include the manager & cook couldn’t have been more help . The manager took us at no cost to a near by temple by the sea. My wife’s allergies to gluten & dairy products was vigorously monitored. Lovely clean blue pool.

Small maintenance issues which when pointed out were fixed . The Gov run Yala reservation was very buy with safari jeeps. Too many for the size of the park. The terrain is dense so seeing wild life like on all game drives is a matter of luck. We went in the afternoon one day & an early 0600am drive . Theoretically you should see more early morning. Too busy go in the afternoon.
