Unique experience- a must do once in a lifetime experience
Pros:

The treehouse was incredible, amazing architecture using natural resources. Super spacious with our own pool, rooftop balcony, outside bathroom. Lovely and quiet and the staff were super friendly, making dinner for us was a real treat. A unique experience that we’ve never experienced before.

Pros:

Personale gentile e accogliente, ci hanno preparato un’ottima cena e il giorno dopo nonostante non avessimo organizzato il safari direttamente con l’hotel ci hanno preparato la colazione al sacco.
Struttura stupenda completamente immersa nella natura, molto suggestiva.
Consiglio di arrivare di giorno per godersi al meglio la vista dalla camera e la piscina privata.

Cons:

Il bagno si trova completamente all’aperto ed è molto carino peccato però per la colonia di formiche presenti nel water

Pros:

Wow – this place was absolutely incredible!

We only stayed for one night as we needed somewhere to stay before our early morning safari. We specifically chose it because of its convenient location near the main safari entrance, allowing us to sleep in for as long as possible before our pickup.

What we didn't expect was just how special the accommodation itself would be. The property felt like a private oasis. The private pool was fantastic, the outdoor bathroom was such a unique touch, and the spacious bed and beautiful wooden interior created a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. Every detail made the stay feel truly exceptional.

The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. One of the highlights was seeing the various animals roaming around the property – they were all adorable and added even more charm to the experience.

Unfortunately, we arrived after having dinner elsewhere, so we didn't get the chance to try dinner at Mamba Yala. However, breakfast more than made up for it! We were served a delicious curry with roti, plenty of fresh fruit, and other tasty accompaniments. Since our safari finished later in the morning, the hosts were happy to serve breakfast afterwards, which made us feel very well looked after.

Overall, this was a superb experience and one of the most memorable places we stayed during our trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yala, whether you're heading on safari or simply looking for a unique and beautiful place to stay.

Pros:

Logement attypique : genre chalet sur pilotis avec point de vue dans les arbres, douche en extérieure et une petite piscine privée devant. Le personnel est aux petits soins, les excellents repas servis étaient variés en cuisine locale. Expérience à vivre.

Cons:

Sa situation excentrée et difficile d'accès pour une berline. Mais possibilité de demander au proprio une prise en charge avec son 4x4.

A peaceful, nature-filled stay with great food and a lovely atmosphere
Pros:

We had a great stay here and were even given a free upgrade, which was a really nice surprise. The location was amazing, right on the edge of the national park, so it felt very peaceful and surrounded by nature and birdlife. The home-cooked food was also a highlight.

Cons:

There wasn’t really anything we didn’t like during our stay. Overall everything was very comfortable and relaxed.

Helt suverænt, 5 stjerner
Pros:

Fuldstændig fantastisk sted at bo, husene er utroligt godt lavet med udsigtsplatform i trækronerne og en skøn privat pool. Bedst af alt er dog personalet, de tre gutter laver virkelig god mad og bossen Sampath vil gøre alt for du har det bedste ophold. Man kan sagtens vente med at booke safari, Sampaths ven Agi har en fin safari til Yala

Lovely location, but be aware of actual room expectations
Pros:

The location is fantastic and feels like a proper escape from the city.
The resident dogs are lovely, and we almost adopted them.
Having dinner included was a pleasant surprise.

Cons:

The photos of the accommodation do not give a proper indication of what to expect.
We booked a 'Deluxe Double Room with Balcony' and found ourselves staying in a treehouse (lovely views), but with a horrible stairway, leaking roof, and a bed that was at a slant. The staff seemed quite embarrassed by the state of this treehouse room.
