This place is amazing.
This place is amazing. We stay with our 3 young kids and the staff were so kind and attentive. All of the small details have been thought of and it’s a wonderful experience in nature. Lovely local Sri Lankan are served for each meal.Guest review byBrendanAustralia - 10
It definitely is an experience worth trying.
It definitely is an experience worth trying. The tree house has all the comforts you need but yet kept on the simple side. Don't expect much and you will get a lot. Nice food Bbq and big fire lit for you in the evening to give you a chance to relax and talk about your day activities. It was great to be left alone and the silence of the night. There were times you just felt that we were the only ones there and when you needed something the staff would magically appearGuest review byImranSaudi Arabia - 6.0

too many jeeps roaming around. 50% of the time we were searching for animals. at some occasions long long jams of jeeps trying to observe leopards and bears the park is beutiful but * jeeps number should be limited * we didnt see a leopard, saw elephants only once, saw a bear briefly only once - for 6 hours in the park we were disappointedGuest review bybenIsrael - 8.0

We visited Yala for two days (with two separate game drives - one evening and one morning one) and although we enjoyed the animals we observed, we did not have any sightings of leopards despite being the national park with the highest concentration in the world. But that is nature so we were just unlucky on those days. However, the most disappointing aspect of Yala was the sheer number of vehicles allowed into the park at one time. As soon as elephants or leopards are sighted, drivers communicate among themselves and vehicles all rush to the scene creating a massive traffic jams. This makes it feel very mass market and doesn’t seem very respectful of the wildlifeGuest review bySandraSwitzerland - 4.0
Terrible time. No wild animals as expected.
Terrible time. No wild animals as expected. Roads are all around the jungle which is pretty disturbing to the wild life. After all it is supposed to be a protected zone for wild life. Jeeps are crawling every corner of the territory. Amused to see all of that disturbing scenes in a wild life protected zone. It's like business zone. Poor animals.Guest review byAnonymousThailand - 10
I loved Yala.
I loved Yala. The number of different animals seen was slightly disappointing but apparently wash outs due to rain prevented us from accessing some internal roads. The sunrise and scenery were stunning. I would rate it as good value despite the lack of animals. The whole experience was wonderful.Guest review byElizabethAustralia

- From US$53.90 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very good - What previous guests thought, 168 reviewsWe completely enjoyed our stay at blue Sky Hotel Yala. The Manager was extremely kind and fullfilled all kind of wishes. So, he arranged a perfect fullday Safari to Yala for us. His Brother is a really good wildlife Ranger and not only made us see leopards, elefants and many more but also managed that we often could enjoy the animals for ourself because he knew a lot of beautiful secret spots. Also, the Manager easily arranged a transfer to our next Stop. We definetaly recommend everybody to stay at Blue Sky Hotel!Guest review byChristophSri Lanka
- From US$496.92 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.6Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 87 reviewsThe hotel was very well designed and the amenities were excellent. Specific call out to the main restaurant where we had great service from the staff & chef (Jerome) and delicious meals catered to our taste. Being in the forest, it was a lovely experience to walk around the compound and wake up to the sight of animals within the vicinity (e.g. monkeys or squirrels in the morning). Would highly recommend this resort for visitors looking to do a safari at Yala National Park.Guest review bySandraHong Kong
- From US$402.38 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,155 reviewsBeautiful hotel which borders the yala national park. We loved our stay here seeing all the wildlife roaming through the grounds of the hotel. We saw wild boar, crocodiles in the lake and water buffalo to name a few. The staff went over and above to organise us a safari at short notice which we were very grateful for and we were lucky enough to see a leopard. Wonderful buffet style breakfast and dinner which we stuffed ourselves on as the food was very tasty!Guest review byPoppy SellwoodUnited Kingdom
- From US$150 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.3Very good - What previous guests thought, 267 reviewsAttanayaka the hotel manager was exceptional! He was always willing to help and made our trip very easy. He organised our trip to the Yala National Park and went over and above for us on New Years. Chef Nuwan was excellent in making us food each night and providing us with a breakfast in the morning before our 5am safari. Pool is awesome as well and great location as it is a short walk from the beach.Guest review byTheodoreAustralia
