We had such a wonderful time at Art Yala! The house is modern, spotless, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The family made us feel right at home, and the dinner they prepared was one of the best we had during our trip. The rooms — especially the bathrooms — were spacious and beautifully designed. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Great accommodation in Tissa! The rooms are spacious and clean, and have a balcony with a beautiful view to rice fields. The pool is really nice. Great value for money. The owners helped organize the full day safari. Really great tour (we saw 2 leopards) with a guide that doesn’t follow the crowds and truly explores the park. The location is not super close to centre but they have bicycles we can use (just a 20min bike ride)

I will give this a 10/10 out of how much the owner provided for me. The view outside is amazing, just in front of the lake. So peaceful! So the room was okay. But the best thing for me was that the owner provided me a free tour around the place, watching sunset, crocodiles, bats and owls. He also took me to the atm, supermarket, and picked me up from the bus when arriving. Everything for free. And I can also recommend going with the safari that he is providing. That guide was also amazing, experienced, and affordable.

We had a fantastic time at Black Panther. Super nice host family made us feel home. Great food, great recommendations for the surrounding area, very warm people. This place is the best for a safari in Yala but also to discover the nearby lakes, temples and beautiful landscapes.

Where to start.. this stay really went straight to our hearts <3 From the second we arrived Madu and his crew took great care of my husband and I. We had half board but opted for lunch on the property as well. The lunch serving and evening BBQ was some of the best meals we had on the entire trip. We also did two safaris arranged by the property and this worked really well. Madu the "all around guy" was also our safari guide and all though he was new at the job at Yala Wild Hut, he was very vigilant and professional. He never left our side whenever outside the tents, I guess for service and safety and we never felt unsafe at any time. This whole experience of staying in the wild and getting to know these people and their story really touched us deeply. We are so grateful for this authentic experience!

Wow, such an amazing place. The guesthouse have the best location with the most beautiful view over the rice fields. It’s close to Yala and you can easily walk to the supermarket. The host is so nice and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. The room have everything you need and was really clean. They came with tea many times doing the day which we really enjoyed. We would love to come back another time.

Very nice location right next to the rice field. It is located a little bit outside of the city, but the city center is located in a walking distance (and there is actually nothing to see 🙂). Instead, you can sit outside in the garden and watch birds in the rice fields. You can even order some meals, and we got many cups of tea during our stay 🙂

Nice, quiet location, away from hustle and bustle of the city center. Owner Manju knows a lot about Sri Lanka, from his extensive experience as a tour guide. He can give great advice and helped us out at the moment our tuktuk broke down. Very good food. We booked a safari through the hotel, and it was a great experience. Good driver that knows how to find all the animals and really takes pride in finding them. We saw the leopard, elephants, elks, jackals, sloth bear and many more.

An absolutely stunning place to stay! We were surrounded by luscious greenery and spotted kingfishers and peacocks as we relaxed by the poolside. Our cabin was clean, spacious and comfortable and the breakfast and dinner were delicious. Amila and his family were so friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful - they arranged an excellent safari, took us to a local festival and sorted our transport to our next location.

Beautiful place to stay, really great rooms, view and pool. The staff were lovely (and especially their gorgeous dogs!) The food was also really really good here- they do need 1.5 hrs to prep and make food so I would recommend ordering in advance rather than waiting until you are hungry but it is very worth it as it was some of the best food we had all trip. Great location for getting to Yala too and we liked the company for Safari they booked for us.
