Accommodations in Yala

Such a wonderful property and location. Full of wild life. The price is much more reasonable than the other ones close by. We’d come back here anytime and would stay for longer than just the one day that we booked. Staff were all amazing, helpful and friendly. Elephants wander around which was a pleasant surprise. Kids loved it.

Super friendly staff and excellent food. Room was lovely also and very comfy bed. Not one thing to complain about

The stay was really pleasant. The staff was super friendly and protective. They always taking care of us and our vehicles from wildlife. Our Deluxe double room was simply splendid with more space and really great view of the ocean. The food was really superb, there was a really wide selection of food and desserts.

We stayed for two nights. We really wished we had booked for more nights. The people who worked there were very nice, to us. The garden area was really pretty. The location of this place is great if you are planning to go on a Yala safari trip. We liked the Yala safari trip. This place was a good spot to start from.

This was one of the nicest places we stayed at in Sri Lanka! The hotel was absolutely beautiful but what made this place special was the people. We were welcomed and treated like family. We checked in a little late just due to exploring Sri Lanka and the GM even told us not to worry about check out time the next day- take our time, enjoy the pool and relax. The hotel only has 3 rooms so the staff is very attentive and take such great care of you. The meals provided by the chef were also delicious and very well prepared. Wonderful place - would highly recommend!

We loved our 2 nights stay here! The property is lovely and just as pictured. The room was spacious and clean. The staff organized the safari trip for us and after a half day safari we were able to enjoy the facilities at the resort. They have an amazing pool, archery corner, basketball court and even a mini golf court. The staff were absolutely amazing and so accommodating and lovely. The food was also really great and they were willing to adjust them to our dietary requirements. Big shoutout to Upul who was just lovely, on the day of us checking out he was so kind to surprise us with breakfast to go as he didn’t want us leaving the property without food!

I had an amazing stay at this hotel and truly enjoyed every moment. The room was beautiful, very clean, and I had a private pool which was absolutely stunning and well maintained. The view was breathtaking and made the experience even more special. What really stood out to me were the details. The hotel really makes you feel the full vibe—even the water bottles had a tiger design, which was such a unique and stylish touch that reflects the whole theme of the place. The food was delicious, and the chef did a fantastic job. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and welcoming—especially the front desk team who were very professional and kind. A special thanks to SAYURI at the reception—she was incredibly kind, friendly, and very helpful throughout our stay. I also booked a safari trip through the hotel, and it was such a great and memorable experience. One of the most special moments was during dinner when they surprised my sister with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful and lovely gesture. During check-in, I had an issue with my card, but they handled it very kindly and allowed me to go to the room and settle in, and pay later once the issue was resolved. I really appreciated their understanding. Housekeeping was excellent, and the spa was beautiful and relaxing. Overall, it was a perfect stay and I highly recommend this hotel. I would definitely come back again.

The camp is great both location, atmosphere, and staffs. The house was clean and quiet, although some bugs can be observed. The service is excellent and the food is really organic and healthy. This place also provides safaris so you need not to arrange with other tours.

The place is amazing, if you're really looking for the feeling of being on a safari, I highly recommend it! They offer outdoor dinner with barbecue preparation, and then a night walk, we even saw a porcupine! We booked the safari with them, you wake up at 5 in the morning and enter the natural park at sunrise. The tents are spectacular, very well decorated and with all the comforts. The shower had hot water. I loved this place so much and I would definitely go again. The personal was really helpful. Thank yoooou

The hotel is located in a wonderful spot, facing a clean and beautiful beachfront. The location is definitely one of its strongest points. The swimming pool also looked new and well maintained, even though we didn’t get a chance to use it. Although the food menu was quite limited, the dishes we had were delicious and well presented.

location, rural amidst tress. staff. very close to Yala park entrance, great cooking class.

Location was wonderful and could hear the birds all night. Went for a bushwalk which we loved as much as the safari.

Our stay was amazing! The host connected directly with our safari guides and picked us up to bring us with his jeep to bring us into the jungle. He upgraded us for free to the treehouse and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The bbq fish was so delicious. Staff was very nice and helpful. We’ve stayed in a ton of places all over Sri Lanka and this was definitely a highlight. Would stay again!

This tour was great. We stayed one night and did an afternoon safari and morning safari before leaving. The staff was excellent, tent was great, food was good and the safari exceeded expectations. we were lucky to see 3 leopards on the morning safari and many elephants.

I actually stayed at his river cabana hostel which was nice. Had great views and was very comfortable. Host was a very cool and chill guy.

Not only is Leopard Lodge a fantastic place to stay with nothing to fault, the staff were interested in our arrangements in order to ensure we got the best value out of our visit to Yala on the safari. This interest helped us to be well informed and it was really helpful. They also were able to provide an adapter as the power sockets needed a different plug to my converter. The food was exceptional, I would rate it with fine dining, both in flavour and presentation. Lastly, the early morning wake up call at 4.30am took all the worry about oversleeping away and I really appreciated this.

Beautiful stay that transported me away to nature. The camp was stunning, with amazing outdoor meals, wonderful trails, and comfortable and well appointed tents. Beyond the site itself, everyone there was so caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. The safari was AMAZING- fun, educational, and we were lucky enough to spot a leopard and even a jungle cat. This is thanks to a keen eye and ability to know where to go, which was also away from the really busy sites so it felt much more private and enjoyable than expected.

The Leopard trails at Yala is a luxurious camp style resort on shores of a lake. We stayed in Deluxe tent with private pool and it was fabulous. The tent had total privacy. The room was huge and the bathroom was modern. The patio facing the lake was very private and great for just lazing around. The plunge pool was small but very nice on a hot afternoon. The room amenities were also good. The camp dinner and breakfast were good but not exceptional. We did 2 safari treks with our guide and naturalist Mr. Nolan. He was very knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information on the park, and its flora and fauna. It was his astute insight on the location in the park that we were able to see 2 leopards (a mating pair). A very rare sight, It was the highlight of our trip. In addition to leopards, we also saw crocodiles, deer, elephants (up close!), wild buffalos and a wide variety of exotic birds. This is a very well kept National Park and a must visit in Sri Lanka.

We loved everything about the Uga Chena Huts. The location is amazing with an elephant, monkeys and a range of other animals being seen around the property. The food was the best we have had - wonderful chef who changes the menu daily. The staff were exceptional, from our safari guide to the wait staff and room staff. They made our stay!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay – Unmatched Hospitality! I have never felt so well taken care of as I did at Wild Coast Lodge. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Every team member remembered my food allergies across all three meals, ensuring I could dine worry-free. Their attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. Beyond that, they even provided fresh aloe vera for our sunburns a small but incredibly thoughtful gesture that speaks volumes about their level of service. The entire experience was luxurious, personalized, and truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a place that combines stunning nature with five-star hospitality, this is it!

Staff going beyond expectations. Nice spot at the outskirt of the park. Amazing food experience - you taste many local dishes and they explain them to you in a lovely setting with candles and a campfire.

Everything! The staff is great. From breakfast to dinner, food was delicious. Everything in our cabin was meticulously thought to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Definitely recommend doing the safari with them, we were so happy to have Koush as our ranger, he is a great guy and incredibly knowledgeable who made our experience unique!
