    The place was amazing, the tents where luxurious and offered anything you might need. Dinner was an experience of its own, outside with view to the night sky. Complementary walks, night walk to explore the nature and of course the safari, all amazing!!! Excellent choice!!!

    The hotel was stunning, the room was large with a/c and beautiful view towards the pool and beyond. All the staff were immaculate, so friendly and courteous to us. They cook our meals to order, so fresh and delicious. They even prepared a packed breakfast for our early morning safari and waited with us till our jeep arrived. Absolutely recommended this beauty. Thank you.

    The location was convenient for a safari, it took around 30/45mins to drive to the closest gate. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and greeted us with fresh juices. The outdoor aesthetics of the pool area surrounded by cabins was nice and there was plenty of sunbeds around the pool. Despite appearances, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the area was quiet.

    We stayed in the tented lodge for one night. The lodge is amazing. It is beautifully built, very clean with mosquito nets on every entrance and window. The open air bathroom rounded up the glamping experience. There is electricity and even wifi in the tents. We booked two safaris and one starlight BBQ. The safari organisation went smooth and the guides were really good. The dinner was outstanding and one of our highlights of the whole vacation. The owners are super friendly. Would definately recommend!

    The lodge is really nice and well aligned with nature - beautiful view from the rock just beside of the main building. Very quite - just nature sounds. There is also a small and warm temperatured pool that invites to relax after a safari day in the yala national park. The staff is really friendly and supportive - always smiling. We really liked it here.

    Have never seen alive trees inside room. Had feeling that I live in camping but with all modern appliances and city comfort. Very friendly and helpful stuff and manager, who made our stay more comfortable than we expected! Recommend to get complimentary round trip first to see places around. Take a walk to sand dunes on sunset, visit Kirinda beach and town and ask to rent Yala safari from hotel only!

    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!

    This lovely lodge was like your own little house. It was near to the owners house so you felt safe but had a lovely rustic feel with lots of nature surrounding you. Very clean and good size bed. Air conditioning was great. Family and owner were extremely friendly and welcoming. They cooked amazing authentic food. The bbq under the stars was a fabulous touch. Great proximity to Yala National park for a safari. The lodge arranged everything.
