Nature Resort
4.1/55 Reviews
Fantastic Yala Safari and great little hotel! We had a great time staying here - and went on a great Jeep safari with Pasanna organised through the hotel. The whole family (2 teenage boys) were totally enthralled by the safari and would totally recommend Pasanna! We went on the full day safari (starting at 430am … totally worth the early start to be the first in the park!!) - which allowed a full day of immersion and a slightly more relaxed pace. (The half day safaris seemed much less relaxed…). Pasanna the driver/ guide has over 13 years experience in the park, had great 4wd drive skills, clearly knew all of the possible routes in the park - and was passionate about showing us all that was possible in the park! He was excellent at spotting hard to see animals! Note that all jeeps have to have 12-2 as rest time in the park …. We easily passed it having lunch and reading books- when the jeeps are not allowed to drive around) . We managed to see a great selection of animals including 2 leopards (which I hear is very rare), multiple families of elephants with their babies which we were able to watch for an extended period of time, water buffalo, deer, samba deer, mongoose, jackals, monkeys, peacocks, lots of amazing birds, crocodiles, monitors and bats. It truly felt like the jungle book. We got home tired, but truly satisfied with the experience! Definitely felt like it was value for money.
My Village
4.7/531 Reviews
We booked My Village as somewhere to stay near Yala National Park, however it turned out to be much more than a base for a safari trip. As soon as you enter the discreet entrance you are greeted with an upscale jungle sanctuary and a warm welcome from the polite and attentive staff. It is an experience rather than just a hotel with a cool, relaxed vibe, artistic touches and comfy nooks for reading or relaxing. The rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet with efficient air conditioning. We ate our meals at the hotel as there is not much choice nearby, but they were all delicious, plentiful and reasonably priced. The staff were really helpful, they organised our safari and our onward transport at reasonable cost. We particularly loved the packed breakfast we took on safari, in a My Village branded box. We loved our time there and recommended it highly.
Hotel  Whitehouse
4/50 Reviews
Single rooms are not recommended for single women to book. It is in a separate place on the top of the building. It is very lonely at night. The Google navigation deviation is 200 meters. It was led by a pair of local sisters and brothers. Later, grandpa added a little money to change to the second floor. The big room, thank you very much! When I went to Ella the next day, my grandpa patiently wrote a lot of directions, but my English was too bad, and I didn’t understand and misunderstood Grandpa’s meaning. I’m very sorry! The hostel is more than 20 minutes away from Tissa Lake. I saw a tree of egrets in the evening but it was a pity that I didn't see the sunset. The way back was a bit dark. It is not recommended for single women to go back too late! All in all this is a hostel worth staying at!
Oak Ray Wild Yala
4.2/544 Reviews
Arrived early and friendly staff facilitated with the first available room. Some serious upgrading is required to these rooms, I was given the standard numbers to call if I needed anything, that’s ok if there was a phone in the room! Bathroom was poorly with worn flex to hairdryer and shower door creaked as if it was about to fall off. Children were allowed to run around the pool area screaming long after restaurant was closed with no supervision. Restaurant staff were very helpful and friendly, food was ok but if the areas that you could see were this neglected what was the back of house be like?!
Hotel Tamarind Tree
4.3/530 Reviews
Originally it was just a temporary hotel booked for the Yala Wildlife Park, but it gave us a surprise. The hotel is not very big, typical Sri Lankan style. Our room is upstairs, and the pool and courtyard are downstairs. The toilet is very large. It is relatively clean because we have lived in Sri Lanka for so many days. We set off at 5 o'clock in the morning. The local brother had prepared breakfast in advance and packed very delicately. Once opened, it was even more pleasant: two sandwiches, An egg, two sausages, a box of juice, two pineapples carefully wrapped in plastic wrap, and a banana. Originally I only ordered three breakfasts, but when I saw my three-year-old Erbao, the hotel was very considerate. I also prepared a copy for her. Thank you very much. It’s not far from going to the safari park. It takes only 20 minutes. If there is any problem, the water pressure in the bathroom is unstable. Although the water is very large, it will be hot once it gets hot. It’s good to take a shower. In addition, the small bed is not provided with a quilt, just a thin sheet. The air conditioner is too cold and the remote control can’t be adjusted. I wake up several times at night.
La Safari Inn Tissamaharama
4.6/545 Reviews
We highly highly (!) recommend this place - as a hotel & safari tour. It’s a family owned hotel from the boss (the lady), her husband and son - they are always around and super supportive. I had regular contact with them before through WhatsApp. They organized for us the private whole day Yala safari tour (5am-6pm) for a great price (a MUST do which was fantastic with the Jeep driver Prisana - only do the tour with them see also below), and also taxi drivers for a great price). We had the big double room with A/C and warm water. It can be easily 4stars from a SouthEast-Asia standpoint. Rooms are a great size, bed is very comfy, bathroom is also great size. It’s very clean. The overall hotel looks really nice, in the middle of the jungle, with lots of birds etc around, nice veranda on the ground & second floor. Restaurant is also running by the family. Awesome food (best Kottu in Sri Lanka) and it was also cheap. You can spend there easily 2-3 days when you do 1-2 safari tours down there. Payment only in cash. I wouldn’t look for another hotel & safari tour! :) La Safari Inn Hotel organized for us the whole day safari tour with the Jeep driver Prisala (hope I write the name correct :)) which was fantastic. We had really the feeling that he tried to provide us the best experience we can get. We saw many many elephants incl groups of elephants, 2 leopards, many crocodiles, birds etc.) price was also good. Food was fantastic which was prepared by the hotel La Safari Inn. I would only book the tour with La Safari Inn if you are down there. You can also do half day tours. But we had the feeling that after lunch (there is a break from 12-2pm and nobody can drive through the park in that time) that you see many more animals incl elephants in the afternoon.
