The place is fairly new (it was just 8 months old when we stayed there) so you can see it has been taken care of and it feels fresh. The owner Shashika was very helpful, polite, and thoughtful. The food was also one of the best we had in Sri Lanka, prepared by Shashika and his mom. It was a valentine's day and we even got some presents 😁 If you are looking for a calm and peaceful place in Yala in the wild among animals this is the place to go.

Our stay at Animal View Point Yala was nothing short of magical! We live in Miami, Florida and this quite a wonderful change of pace for us. The treehouse room offered a unique and immersive experience with stunning views of nature. The hospitality was exceptional, and Shashika went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The highlight was undoubtedly the delectable Sri Lankan cuisine served – each meal was a burst of flavors, a true culinary delight prepared by Kusmawati. The proximity to Yala National Park allowed us to witness incredible wildlife, completing the perfect retreat. 10 out of 10 for an unforgettable and peaceful experience!

Animal View Point Yala provided an extraordinary opportunity for us, the combination of comfortable accommodations, knowledgeable staff, and amazing wildlife sightings made this trip unforgettable. It's close to the Yala national park and located in a perfect location to enjoy the nature with a lake. We stayed in a cozy, well-maintained tree house that made me feel at one with nature. The food was also awesome, consisted of a variety of local dishes , locally sourced. Staff was very helpful, friendly and they arranged us a good safari too. If you're considering a visit to Yala, do yourself a favor and choose Animal View Point Yala. Even it's new to business, this stay was a great experience compared to other hotels I have stayed before.

Amazing little nature walks in the proximity of the stay. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Best we had in Sri Lanka. Very new and proper infrastructure. Wish we could stay longer to fully immerse in the beautiful environment and jungle life.

Ideal place for nature lovers and astronomy lovers. Since there is no light or air pollution, can see the milky way and many more constellations. Environment is rich in bio diversity. Many birds, plants and animals endemic to sri lanka can be seen. Really nice staff and food. Rooms are very comfy. View is incredible. Overall experience is fabulous and unique.

We truly enjoyed our experience sleeping two nights at the tree house. The place is authentic and it’s just next to the border of Yala national park. For people who are looking for true Sri Lankan countryside experience near the jungle, this is the place for you! Excellent traditional Sri Lankan dishes cooked by their great chef complete your stay. The place can arrange great safari experience for you, including packed breakfast and having a private driver. If you are lucky enough your safari guide might be the first person who spotted the black leopard in Yala! We had his brother and he was also a great guide spotting many animals from crocodiles to elephants and smaller creatures of the park for us. He managed to find fresh leopard’s footprints, but this time we didn’t see a sight of wild cats. The owner is wonderful person who makes you feel like at home!

This hotel is close to the National Park Yala. So if you are looking for a calm accomodation in the wild, this is a perfect place. The owner is very helpful. After we returned from safari we had a delicious lunch cooled by owner’s mom.

Shashika is a fantastic host...kind, attentive, competent. He cares so deeply about the guest experience. The location offers stunning views. Walks by the lake at nighttime were a real treat, to see nightjars and elephants and countless others. The meals were exquisite, lovingly prepared by Shashika's mother and aunt. We will definitely be back. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. We are so keen to support this young, motivated entrepreneur who has 'got it right' when it comes to customer care. Thank you malli. You'll see us again many many times to come.
