Very near the entrance of the safari. They have packed breakfast for taking to the safari if your jeep departs in the early morning.

The hotel is very clean, staffs are helpful. It is located in the jungle so it might be hard to get there. They only have vegetarian choices on their menu.

Avoid this hotel. The rooms don't have the basic amenities you need and the environment is extremely simple. To be honest, I can understand the price in Yala. But the sheets and quilt were dirty, and my skin was allergic when I woke up the next day. If you are going to Yala, choose another hotel, don't book this one!

It is a real forest cabin, each of which is a separate building with plenty of privacy. The hotel has only 5 rooms in total and is located directly in the forest with beautiful scenery. Birds, lizards, chameleons, you can encounter them at any time in the pristine environment. The hotel is right in the national park. To check in, you need to be picked up by the hotel staff in an off-road vehicle. It only takes half an hour to get to the park entrance for safari. It is the first choice for those who like nature but cannot accept camping, but not recommended for those who have requirements for facilities. The minor flaw is that the shower water is relatively small and the facilities are relatively old. The breakfast is very rich and prepared with great care.

The entrance of the hotel is right next to Yala National Park. Contact the hotel in advance before arriving and they will arrange a jeep to pick you up. The whole service is in place. The hotel is located in Homecoming Park. The natural landscape is very good, but the facilities are definitely not comparable to those of a five-star hotel, but it is still a very good stay experience. Dinner can be ordered in the room. When you are done eating, you only need to ring the bell and a staff member will come over to clear away the dishes, which is very considerate. Ask the hotel to help book a safari for the next day. We charter a car for two people, a 6-seater jeep. The driver is also very experienced. We saw elephants, buns, bears and a lot of sika deer. We were very lucky. This experience is very good, I will recommend it to my friends who are coming to Sri Lanka~

This is a cottage in a national park.
The service is particularly noteworthy.
I forgot my bug spray, so I asked for some, and they sold it to me for $10.
I thought it was expensive, but I bought it because I was tired, but I was senile and accidentally gave them 3,000 yen in Japanese yen.
I asked for a refund later, but they lied and said they didn't get it.
The staff kept asking for tips every time after that, and it was annoying, so I ignored them, and they got mad and smashed my suitcase.
I stayed at other places in Sri Lanka, but this one staff member at this place was the worst.
Also, I didn't like the rice at all.
The jambalaya in particular had a miraculous taste, with the sauce and rice not matching at all. Please try it.

The hotel is located within the forest, offering a wilderness stay experience. Access to Yarra Park is easy. We arrived at the hotel at night. We needed to call the hotel in advance to enter the hotel, and someone would drive a special car to pick us up. The road leading into the hotel is bumpy and there are no street lights, but you can see some animals such as buffaloes. The reception staff provided good service and breakfast was packed for $6. The hotel consists of 5 single-storey villas. The facilities are old, damp and there are some ants in the room. Friends who love cleanliness, please be careful.

This camp hotel is right next to Yala Park. You need to change the hotel's off-road vehicle to enter. Because we arrived late at night, the way out turned into a night safari. We encountered countless hares and even had sex with An elephant met on a narrow road. The driver was very experienced. The room is relatively clean. There is a lake opposite, where countless birds and lizards live. It is a very interesting experience to fall asleep with the peacocks singing at night.
