The cabana is really nice if you want to feel in the nature. The bed is very comfortable, there is a fancy fan that cools the room very well. The shower with sky view is a charm, and everything was clean. You will sleep at the light of the stars and glow worm. Impossible not to mention the amazing breakfast we had, big size and very delicious food, mix of sri lanka and western style. Also, Thysara the owner helped us organize a full day safari ar Yala and it was perfect. He brought a great driver and we saw the leopards and the bear, strongly recommended.

Great check-in experience with king coconut water. The staff was very responsive and proactive with regards to getting to the location as its in a remote area. Rooms were very beautiful - free standing building, high ceilings, nice bathroom.

Everything was great. Such a relaxing atmosphere. We also left an item behind when checking out and only realised a few days later - the staff organised a safe return of item to us! The hotel and grounds are very well maintained + the pool was great . Will definitely recommend to friends and will stay here again when we come back.

Yala Jungle Haven, as its name imply, is quite a haven in the jungle. It is quite literally next to Yala National Park. So, the jungle hut is rustic, and my room have seen visitations from many frogs and geckos. You will hear many bird calls early in the morning, which is wonderful if you are into birding. But the best part is the owner Thushara, who is also a safari driver+guide. So if you book this accom, go with their safari! He is very experienced as evident in his driving and wildlife spotting skills. We had THREE (3) sightings of leopards and even a sloth bear! While wildlife sightings need the element of luck, one of the sighting of the leopard was initially spotted by him, so yes our vehicle was the first on the encounter. The sloth bear too. Needless to say, I had one of the best safari experience ever. Oh, their homecooked dinner is authentic curry & rice cooked by Thushara's parents :)

This was such a nice stay. The host made us feel incredibly welcomed. The property is located just beside a large lake so you can go explore during the day. We went for a morning safari that was arranged by the property host which we loved! When it comes to the food: An amazing Sri Lankan breakfast which we couldn’t even finish. We also opened for 2 dinners made by them and these were restaurant quality meals that we just didn’t expect! Definitely ask for your dinner to be served there, you will not regret! (Sorry I wasn’t able to take better pictures:) )

We loved the accommodation, with a beautiful terrace at the front overlooking nature and the sunset. The owner was helpful in arranging a safari and for advising restaurants in the neighbourhood for take away (so we could it with the beautiful view). The sanitaire was clean.

The lodge was really clean and excellent size with good air conditioning. The hotel organised a great safari and transfer to next destination. They communicated well prior to arrival re safari options. Food made to order was lovely.

Brilliant location not far from Yala national park. Lodges are nicely spaced out to enjoy a peaceful stay. Praveen was excellent and gave us lots of tips, including how to cook some Sri Lankan food. Make sure you spend an evening walking to the nearby lake to enjoy all the wildlife. We had a great time and wish we'd stayed longer.

Everything is fantastic! We stayed here for two nights while going on safari in Yala with the all inclusive package. The staff at the Lodge were wonderful, and gave us everything we needed. The meals were delicious with lots of different menu options to choose from. The room was clean and comfortable with good aircon. The pool was also great. The perfect place to stay in Yala!

The garden is really nice and quiet. Especially in the morning I enjoyed my coffee on the terrace while watching the peacocks dancing in the field next to the garden. The host arranged a Safari to Lunugamvehera National Park for us, which is really recommended if you want to do a Safari without masses of tourists. We just saw 3 other jeeps and our guide took distance to the animals.

The lodge is a stone throw away from the entrance to the National Park. It is located next to a pretty lake with plenty of birds, monkeys and buffalo herds. Of course we did a safari with an excellent nature guide, seeing an abundance of bird species, plenty of elephants, monkeys, deer and crocodiles. We also made pleasant walks along the lake and through the woods and countryside past the lake. It has a refreshing swimming pool.

Luxury and comfortable lodge in a quiet environment. Staff was friendly and food was delicious! Rooms were spacious and very clean. Well maintained new lodge. Bbq night under the stars is a must try. They arrange Safari to yala at a reasonable price. Worth for money.

Appu and his family were the most gracious hosts. The food was great and the lodging was very comfortable. It was very close to the National Park, and they were able to arrange the safari for us. The area was very peaceful and serene. The property itself is actually quite nice. There's a hammock to relax, a swimming pool, and other amenities. All-in-all, I'm very glad I was able to stay here!
