Guest Reviews
- Juliana (10/5): - Just wonderful. Heavenly.
- Tina (10/5): - Great place to go
- Ioannis (10/5): - The cocoon-shaped tents are really unique and beautiful. They’re well-designed and blend nicely with the natural surroundings. Inside, you have everything you need – a big bed, air-conditioning, a beautiful bathtub, and stylish furniture. Some parts of the tents do feel a little old and could use a bit of renovation, but that didn’t affect how much I enjoyed my stay. It still felt special and very comfortable. The food was excellent every day. The chefs prepare a nice mix of Sri Lankan dishes and international food. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Meals were something I looked forward to daily. The safaris were a real highlight. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful of nature. We saw leopards, elephants, and so many other animals. The whole safari experience was exciting and well-organized. The staff were amazing – kind, helpful, and always ready to assist. You feel well taken care of, and the service is top-level from everyone at the lodge. The small pool outside our cocoon was cleaned early every morning at around 6 AM, but because it’s under a lot of trees, it quickly fills up with leaves again. That’s understandable, but I do think the water filtration could be improved – during my stay, it looked more like a big bathtub than a proper pool. That said, there is a much bigger pool near the restaurant that’s perfect for relaxing. You can enjoy cocktails and snacks while sitting in the water, and it’s a great spot to unwind during the hot hours.
- Cate (10/5): - Wild Coast Tented Lodge is not just a place to stay—it’s a transformative experience. Nestled on the edge of Yala National Park where the jungle meets the Indian Ocean, this eco-luxury resort perfectly marries untamed wilderness with world-class comfort. From the moment you arrive, you’re immersed in a surreal landscape. The architecture is nothing short of breathtaking—cocoon-shaped tents designed to blend seamlessly into the surroundings. The staff are impeccable—gracious, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about the local wildlife and culture. Dining is a standout, with gourmet Sri Lankan cuisine and international options prepared with locally sourced ingredients. The guided safari experiences into Yala National Park are expertly curated. Led by naturalists who are as passionate as they are professional, the game drives offer thrilling opportunities In every way, Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a rare gem it’s not just a destination, but a journey into the heart of Sri Lanka’s wild and wondrous coast.
- Myriam (10/5): - Une belle experience que je renouvellerai avec plaisir !!
- Shital (10/5): - Everything about Wild Coast tented lodge is 5 star. Ultra luxurious stay in the wild. Staff are super hospitable and puts guests satisfaction above anything. Food is amazing. This is first all inclusive place where we found food amazing. Although this is all inclusive hotel, they have not compromised on food and drink quality. This is top notch hotel to be experienced. Free game drive per night is a huge addition. I highly recommend this hotel.
- Abigail (10/5): A perfect stay - Our stay was perfect. Staff, food, setting, rooms… everything was perfect!
- Khalid (10/5): Flawless - An amazing experience from the moment you arrive until you leave. The staff are impeccable , food is of the highest quality and a lot of small touches just made it a perfect trip. Highly recommend

- Ching-Lun (10/5): - Very close to nature and build with eco friendly spirit
- Ching-Lun (10/5): - Foods are all good and staff are so friendly
- Chris (10/5): Yala luxury as good as we hoped - Fantastic stay in Yala area, food, staff, room all fantastic, safari guides were well informed and spoke the best English we had during our travels, beach is very beautiful, just no swimming. Certainly pricey, but the only complaint we had was there wasn't enough hot water to fill the tub. Everything else was top notch. Yala was very crowded as far as trucks...be prepared.
- Verified traveler (10/5): The best hotel and experience in Sri Lanka - Outstanding service, property, and food. When we booked our Sri Lanka trip, I knew I wanted to stay in the property while visiting Yala, and our stay exceeded my expectations.
- Tianja (10/5): - This place was amazing. Nothing else can ne said!
- Francisco (10/5): - Great place to stay, worth the price, excelent staff, high quality and services, food and the room is wow
- Verified traveler (10/5): An amazing and memorable experience - It was one of our favorite places and experiences during our family trip in Sri Lanka. Our tent was nestled in the natural habitat of wildlife and nature by the side of the seaside rolling sounds of the waves with respect to the wildlife as well. Their welcoming service and attention to guests with its heartfelt and kind hospitality where every guest is welcome and served as if they are the only ones in the sanctuary heaven is amazing. Even though it rained heavily towards the end of the safari and towards the evening dampened some of our plans. Nonetheless, they ensured we were all safe and taken care of with promptness. Safari was an amazing experience and Shani was an excellent ranger as well. Tharindu, the Front House manager was there to welcome to the end of iur stay and went out of the way to make sure we were all taken care of. The entire team which takes them all to offer a great experience indeed assured us of such a wonderful and an amazing stay. It was a memorable stay! So looking forward to next time and our best wishes to all of them.
- Anna (10/5): - Sehr schöne Lodge mit tollen Zimmern und einer traumhaften Umgebung. Service im Restaurant könnte etwas aufmerksamer und besser geschult sein, aber alle sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
- Kenneth (10/5): - Great property. Great amenities. Great food. Great staff. 10/10
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Incredible stay, great food. Can fully recommend this place. The best place to do a safari trip and more in Yala
- Ben (10/5): Perfect luxury family getaway - Amazing place, amazing butler/staff for the stay, amazing food!!
- Jeremy (10/5): - Best Hotel I have been to. Credits to Hasindu for providing customized, personalized service. Food was also amazing.
- Mark (10/5): - We really enjoyed our 2 night stay, rooms were spacious and nicely appointed. We enjoyed the pool and the safaris organized by the lodge, who supplies rangers in addition to drivers in the safari vehicles. We opted to add an optional safari to increase our chances of seeing the elephants and leopards. Excellent staff, Sasha was very helpful, Venura in the restaurant was great and so was our Ranger Amida.
- Murat (10/5): - thanks for the goodbye snacks :))
- Morvarid (10/5): - Most authentic and glamorous adventurous place I’ve ever stayed , Customer service is second to none, the food is absolutely delicious . I can’t thank Rohan enough for taking such a good care of us . We will definitely like to come back .
- Kristian (10/5): - A truly amazing experience. The staff are exceptional, the food is incredible and the lodges are very comfortable and stylish. We loved our time there and it is one of the best holiday experiences we have ever had. Highly recommended
- Anastasia (10/5): Amazing - Fantastic stay, brilliant service from staff members. Definitely recommending this hotel as a unique experience!
- Tom (10/5): 12/10!!! - This hotel is the best I have ever stayed in…a real gem!! It accepts that we are guests in the animals land, yet somehow finds extremely tasteful luxury without disturbing nature. Rohan our host greeted us with a smile and was always on hand with anything we needed. Vihanga in the restaurant was great fun, had great recommendations and always remembered our regular orders. Darshana our ranger feels like a true friend. He is a library of knowledge, has passion for the animals as though each sighting is his first and had some great stories. He teamed with Yasanka our driver who was incredibly talented at both driving and animal spotting. Overall the service from arrival to departure was second to none! I always say how you leave a hotel says everything about it, and we left with heavy hearts, but also a free gift and discount voucher for a return, which we will 100% be using! Thank you all at Wild Coast Lodges for your exceptional service and dedication. DO NOT STAY IN ANY OTHER HOTEL IN YALA!
- Lisa (10/5): - Perfection! Amazing location, amazing staff, amazing room, amazing food. Truly could not have been better. Everyone is so kind. Aishira, Sithija and Dilukshi in the dining room were extraordinary. We did two safaris with Sudheera and Krishna and they were exceptional. Truly top class. Thank you for the best stay.
- Amanda (10/5): - The tents are beautiful, the pool area heaven, food fantastic and staff amazing. We absolutely loved it.

- Marc (8/5): Excellent Food and Service - The food was excellent here and the service was great.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Everythiing, from start to finish, were so well thought through and executed on at this hotel. The facility was gorgeous and so well designed. - from the tent lodging with fully working air-conditioning, running water, and luxury amenities to the main lodge with the structure being built by local fishermen who were taught (by the hotel) how to build structures like the one at the hotel during their off-season to continue to have an income. The service was also incredible - every single person knows who you are and goes out of their way to make your stay special. They even set up a table under the stars for just me (I was traveling solo). I look forward to staying here again in my future.
- Jason (10/5): Fantastic - The welcome was brilliant. The room fantastic and the safaris amazing. The food was faultless. There was a lack of communication with a pre booked dinner. However the manager sorted the mishap straightaway. Amazing stay.
- Jonathan (10/5): 5 star across the board - Perfect stay. From the food to the accomodations to the staff, this property is as close to perfect as you could ever hope for.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Incredible experience. Could not fault it. Absolutely six star in every respect.
- Nick (10/5): - classy hotel - very boutique and thoughtful in service. loved it
- Jonas (10/5): Without a doubt the best hotel we have ever stayed - Where do we start? This might without be on of the best hotel we have ever stayed at, and we have stayed at many luxury hotels. The rooms, the food, the staff, the bar, the safari guides - everything was really top notch in every detail. I will really recommend this hotel to anyone I know who will ever visit Sri Lanka. This lodge experience made our trip the absolute best, and we will certainly be back in the future! /Jonas with family (Sweden)
- Jonas (10/5): Best hotel stay ever! - Where do you start? This hotel was without a doubt the best hotel we have ever stayed at, and we have stayed at many luxury hotels before.
