Very nice lodge with a nice safari
Pros:

Très sympathiques tentes, joli restaurant, bon service et excellent safari

Cons:

Prévoir les bouchons d'oreilles pour dormir, ce n'est pas leur faute mais c'est globalement très bruyant la nuit

Dormire nella natura 🌟
Pros:

Bellissimo posto in mezzo alla natura, tende spaziose e con tutti i comfort. É stato molto bello svegliarsi con il cinguettio degli uccellini.
Dormire in queste tende é una esperienza che consiglio a tutti.
Infinity pool dove rilassarsi 😎 dopo il safari, mia figlia l’ha adorata!
Location comoda per safari a Yala.
Consiglio anche il ristorante del resort, bella colazione e buona cena. L’aperitivo nel giardino di fronte al lago intorno al fuoco é stato un plus.
Staff super! Grazie a tutti i bei ragazzi delresort, e le vostre divise sono bellissime!

Cons:

Tenete sempre le tende chiuse e la sera meglio luci spente così non attirate gli insetti!
Nella tenda ad agosto ha fatto parecchio caldo, ma l’aria condizionata ha aiutato 😁

Do yourself a favour and stay here in Yala!
Pros:

We have had the most spectacular stay here, I wish we could have stayed weeks! The location is stunning with incredible lake views from the room and the pool/restaurant. The staff here are truly incredible - every single person from the welcome to the restaurant to the night housekeeping are so lovely and will help you with whatever you need. They even organised a cake and candles for my birthday :)
The restaurant will even cook off menu items which was a treat! The fish and chicken Sri Lankan curries were a highlight.
We also had a foot massage from Nishanth the spa therapist and it was incredible, when we come back we will be booking deep tissue massages with him!!!
This property is so at one with the surrounding environment and animals and we really appreciated all the little environmentally friendly touches like the lack of plastic!

Cons:

Nothing at all.

Not eco
Cons:

After spending an hour in the swimming pool with my children &grand children watching the young monkeys jumping from the trees into a pond . The stupid security guard decided to start shooting at them with a rifle . Apart from being extremely dangerous it’s a disgraceful you call yourself an eco resort.

Great peaceful nature lodge
Pros:

Our stay at the villa in Flameback Eco Lodge was an incredible experience surrounded by nature. The villa is spacious, beautifully designed, and blends perfectly with the natural environment. Waking up to the sounds of birds and the peaceful lake view made with the small pool feel truly relaxing, staff were friendly and also arranged private Yala Safari for us.

Cons:

Nothing

Romantisch, Informativ zu kurz da es wirklich besonders schön dort war.
Pros:

Wunderschöne exclusive Zeltbehausungen in zauberhafter Natur auf einer Landzunge am See gelegen. Das Personal war zauberhaft und nach einer Führung durch einen Vogelkundler auf dem Resort Gabriele Willer es einen leckeren Begrüßungsdrink. Das Dinner war romantisch auf der überdachten Restaurantterasse mit Blick auf den See. Das Frühstück konnten wir am Vorabend aussuchen und wir bekamen sehr leckere regionale Speisen für uns weniger Scharf gewürzt.
Der Nationalpark für die Safari‘s ist auch nur 45 Minuten entfernt.

Pros:

We had a brilliant time at Flameback Eco Lodge.
The suite we had booked was absolutely stunning - a huge tent with great facilities and lots of nice touches.
The staff were the stand out aspect of the stay - they were so attentive, accommodating and helpful, arranging packed lunches for us ahead of our 5.30am safari departure and checking in on us to ensure we were enjoying our stay. We were celebrating a very special occasion while there and the team went above and beyond to make it feel extremely special - big thanks to Saduni, Isuru, Tharuka and Dimuthu in particular!
Also the grounds of the property are really beautiful, right by the lake with lots of local birds and relatively quick and easy to get to Yala for safari

Cons:

Nothing!

Enjoyable stay in comfortable “glamping” style tent
Pros:

We stayed in the honeymoon tent. It was a romantic vibe and the view out over the water and private pool were lovely. The restaurant was very good. Great breakfast. Evening cocktails by the fire pit also a lovely touch.

Cons:

It was hard to see very well as the lighting was quite dim. I guess it’s hard in a tent.

Een onvergetelijke ervaring en aanrader!
Pros:

Dit was echt een top verblijf. Door de verschillende reviews waren we niet zeker, maar gelukkig hebben we ons hier niet door laten afleiden. Wij hebben echt geen ene opmerking op dit hotel. Het hotel ligt dicht bij de bewoonde wereld maar heeft echt een Out of Afrika gevoel. Wij hebben geen last gehad van geluid. Alles was super schoon. De massage was fantastisch en het personeel doet zo ongelooflijk zijn best om het je naar de zin te maken. De ontvangst cocktail wordt voor het avondeten geserveerd in de tuin bij een vuur en is mega romantisch. Het eten is ook erg lekker en voor Tharuka was geen moeite teveel.
De safari geboekt bij het hotel was ook uitmuntend
Als we langer hadden kunnen blijven dan hadden we dat zeker gedaan.

Cons:

Als we dan een puntje van kritiek moeten verzinnen dan is het dat de verlichting in de luxe tent wat beter kan. Maar heeft ook zn charme.
