Beautiful hotel from the rooms to the common areas. Very friendly service, nice restaurant and incredible sunset from the pool. They also had a bonfire in the evening which was fun to watch. The BBQ was nice but 1 portion is enough for 2 people. Overall, very good value for money. Happy to have stayed for 1 night.

We have had a fantastic week at Rock Wild Yala. This is a small friendly hotel situated in the Sri Lankan Jungle. The rooms and grounds are clean and well appointed. The staff are attentive and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was astounding. The new chef produced some delicious dishes for dinner and our choices for breakfast were fully catered for. From our room we saw Peacocks, Hornbills, Monitor Lizards, Tufted Grey Langur (Monkey), Buffalo and a Mongoose. Plus other birds. We would fully recommend. Thanks

Udara was really friendly and helpful. The service he provided was amazing. He helped with the safari booking and made sure everything was arranged perfectly, so the tickets were booked in advance, and we didn't have to wait in line. The house was clean and comfortable and had a washing machine we could use.

    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 appear

    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 disappointed

    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 wildlife

    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.

    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.

    The national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long. Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

    Unbeatable location, right next to a beautiful secluded beach and only 15 minute drive from Yala national park. The hosts are fantastic and have created a very special place, we felt like guests rather than clients. The home cooked dinner was amazing (likely the best culinary experience we’ve had during hotel stays), and it’s very nice to be able to chat with other guests lodging at the resort. Hosts can also help arrange safaris (but you can book directly, if preferred). I loved it so much that we came back twice :) can only recommend!

    Very friendly staff and clean room! We stayed there for one night only as we wanted to visit the Yala National Park before heading to Ella. The hotel is located near to a beach which was quite busy and crowded with locals. There were many small shops/kiosks around the beach shore so do not expect privacy there. The hotel itself was good. The staff helped us with arranging a tour to the Yala National Park and were very helpful all around.
