Vi havde en mega hyggeligt ophold, og facilititerne var helt i top.
Pros:

Værelset var helt genialt, kæmpestort og rar seng. Poolen er fantastisk og personalet var utroligt imødekommende.

Cons:

Køkkenet lavede et par retter, der ikke helt spillede, og den frokost vi fik med på safari var rimelig kedelig.

Maravillosa estancia en wild culture yala
Pros:

Una experiencia absolutamente maravillosa en Wild Culture Yala. ❤️

El hotel es pequeño, y precisamente eso es parte de su magia: permite una atención mucho más íntima, cercana y personalizada. Desde que llegamos hasta que nos fuimos, todo estuvo cuidado al mínimo detalle.

Queremos hacer una mención muy especial a UPul, por su excelente atención, su amabilidad y por estar pendiente de nosotros en todo momento. Hizo que nuestra estancia fuera todavía más especial. ✨

El entorno es simplemente único, rodeado de naturaleza y con una paz increíble. Las habitaciones son preciosas y comodísimas, y despertar con esas enormes cristaleras frente a la cama, viendo amanecer completamente rodeados de naturaleza, es una experiencia difícil de explicar. 🌿☀️

Y la comida… ¡un auténtico espectáculo! Todo fresco, exquisito y preparado con muchísimo mimo.

Vinimos pensando quedarnos una sola noche y, nada más llegar, ampliamos la estancia una noche más porque nos dimos cuenta de que queríamos disfrutarlo con calma. Y fue, sin duda, una de las mejores decisiones del viaje.

Wild Culture Yala nos encantó. ❤️ Un lugar precioso, especial y de esos que se quedan en el recuerdo. ¡Volveríamos sin pensarlo!

Cons:

Todo fue perfecto

Pros:

A gorgeous hotel with an amazing pool and hospitality. The best part of our stay by far was the night walk with Shehan, who is a naturalist and conservationist, who has immense knowledge about all of the wildlife on the property and in yala! He showed us all the various beautiful birds and animals around the hotel grounds with so much passion and enthusiasm, it was truly the highlight of our whole yala trip. Worth staying at this hotel just for the night walk with Shehan!

Absolutely perfect!
Pros:

We originally booked just one night as a base for our safari, but after arriving we decided to extend our stay for another night. We simply didn't want to leave!

The room was beautiful, very comfortable, and tastefully designed. The entire property is surrounded by nature and has such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The whole place radiates a wonderful sense of calm, making it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the moment. We loved seeing wildlife right around the hotel and spotted peacocks, squirrels, and monitor lizards just by walking around the property, which made our stay even more special.

The location is perfect for visiting Yala National Park, and the food was a real highlight. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, and full of flavor.

Don’t miss the homemade coconut ice cream – it is amazing!

The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Upul, who made our stay even more enjoyable with his kindness and warm hospitality.

We truly enjoyed every moment here and would highly recommend Wild Culture Yala to anyone visiting the area. We would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

Honestly, we couldn't find anything we didn't like. Everything was wonderful.

Pros:

Great location near the entrance to Yala National Park. Lovely large grounds and nice pool area. Staff were very attentive. We did a nighttime safari through the garden guided by one of the staff and saw many sleeping birds and a crocodile just outside the fence, which was a highlight of our stay

Cons:

WiFi and food were both slightly hit and miss. Room was a little gloomy. Both the safe and the kettle in our room didn’t work on arrival, but both were swiftly replaced.

Great jungle relax
Pros:

The breakfast was unreal. This was by far the best breakfast we have ever had, it was actually too big for the kids to finish.

The staff is amazing and will go far and beyond to satisfy any need, they took us on a night walk and even showed us the crocodiles next to the hotel in the river.

The food was very higj standard, and the pool perfect to have lazy days with a beautiful rice field in the background and nice sunset.

The kids liked the basketball court and shooting rifle to pass the time.

Cons:

The food, although very high standard, was maybe priced a bit high, especially after adding all the hidde charges.

Food quality was amazing.

Jeg anbefaler alle som vurderer å komme til Yala å bo her. Det er det fineste oppholdet vi har hatt med så utrolig hygge
Pros:

Vi elsket absolutt alt! Fra det store bassenget med nydelig utsikt utover åkeren, til det luksuriøse og rene rommet med myk og god seng, og ikke minst de utrolig hyggelige og gode ansatte som tok vare på oss under hele oppholdet! Vi har bodd flere steder i Sri Lanka og dette er vårt favorittsted! Maten er også helt fantastisk, ville anbefalt australsk biff til middag -det er noe av det beste vi har smakt😊 Vi dro på safari som hotellet ordnet, og det var også en fantastisk opplevelse. Anbefaler virkelig å bo her!

Tusen takk til Upul som gjorde oppholdet vårt fantastisk! Han passet på at vi hadde det bra og ordnet alt -en utrolig hyggelig mann med god sans for humor! Tusen takk til Shehan også, som guidet oss gjennom en nydelig tur rundt hotellet for å vise det lokale dyrelivet som er her. Det var så gøy å se for det var mange forskjellige dyrearter, og ekstra kjekt å se krokodille! Shehan hadde mye kunnskap om de forskjellige dyreartene og forklarte det til oss på en gøy og forståelig måte. Han passer perfekt som guide for safaritur til Yala, noe som passer med studiene han holder på med nå😊

Cons:

Ingenting. Alt var helt perfekt!

The perfect birthday stay
Pros:

We stayed here over my birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The staff went above and beyond to make it special, decorating our room with balloons and flowers, singing me happy birthday and giving me a cake after dinner. Aside from this, the safaris that the hotel organised for us were incredible, and the hotel itself is beautiful. The swimming pool is stunning, the rooms are gorgeous and the location is perfect. The food was also absolutely delicious, and the breakfast offering is beyond generous!

Cons:

Nothing, it was all perfect.
