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!

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 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 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.

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.

Udara was an amazing and attentive host. The house is spacious, the rooms and beds very comfortable and the AC works well. There is also a washing machine on hand for laundry needs which was great. We had a couple of meals prepared by his family and the food was delicious and plentiful. Udara also arranged safaris to Yala and Bundala (definitely go to Bundala if you have the time!) and joined us on the trips. He is a fantastic guide as well! And our kids really enjoyed the family's sweet dog. A great place to stay for the parks!

Stay here to experience a mini safari before your safari! This place is amazing! It is in the national park 'buffer zone' and is teeming with life. There was a wild elephant at the end of the driveway the first night we stayed! From the deck we saw peacocks, squirrels, bats, land monitor, different birds as well as the friendly cows that come to the house in the evening for safety from the leopards. Hansa and Sa are fantastic hosts, cook unbelieveable food and the place is well set up and very clean. The beach is metres away and you can get fantastic sunset photos. It is close to the national park, which means it is a distance from shops, we knew beforehand, it doesn't matter as you can have all your delicious meals there. Hansa even got some very fresh buffalo curd with special treacle delivered for us to try.

The room and food was fine.

The room and food was fine. But the reception staff included my booking with another member and put me as a no show!!!. When I did the check out i was quoted a higher price than agreed. An amount of $356 instead of original $303. When i questioned, the reception staff put the blame on us and made the other member pay $356 under her booking. Now I have to pay the higher price of $356 to the other member in our group. I don't know why there was a mixup when I gave my passport when checking in and my name was matched. I would appreciate if i am refunded US$53 (356 - 303). Thank you, Nagaratnam Nandakumar 647 545 6842 [email protected]

The number of trucks was huge, and i thought off putting, how ever our driver flew past these, and when in the park, the trucks were about but not terrible. we did see a leopard, and there was a queue to see it, but it was not concerned as it slept on a branch. Find a good guide, not just a driver who only cares about his tip!!

Jetwing Yala was a great place to stay. The huge room was extremely comfortable with a really comfy bed. The swimming pool area was huge and what made it very special was that wildlife lived all around. It's a short walk to the beach which when we went was too rough to swim in but very scenic. The staff were excellent, especially in the bar area. The safari organised from the hotel was cheaper than one on Get Your Guide. The spa facilities also made for a very relaxing stay.

We had an incredible stay at Yakaduru Hotel in Yala National Park. We particularly loved our villa, its private pool, and its cleanliness. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. What truly made our stay memorable, however, was the outstanding service—everyone was genuinely kind, attentive, and eager to ensure we had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this hotel and sincerely hope to return.
