Pros:

Consigliamo questa struttura meravigliosa a chiunque voglia vivere una vera autentica avventura nella natura.
Un’oasi sperduta nel nulla, gestita da ragazzi davvero accoglienti e gentilissimi e disponibili.
La struttura è composta da poche case sull’albero tutte curate nei minimi dettagli e con ognuna una piscina privata.
Abbiamo cenato nella struttura in quanto essendo in una zona protetta la sera dopo un certo orario non si può uscire fuori dall’aerea circostante. La cena era davvero buonissima.
Lo staff ci ha aiutato anche con la prenotazione del safari al parco nazionale, sono stati molto gentili.
Per il safari ci è stata anche preparata una colazione al sacco.
Questa struttura merita davvero di essere vissuta in quanto un’avventura.
Il bagno esterno è stato poi una chicca e la piscina privata immersa nell nulla uno spettacolo.

Pros:

Tolles Baumhaus, tolle Lage (ja liegt abseits aber das war uns bewusst) - und wirklich super nettes Personal und Leute, die uns auch alles gezeigt haben - Empfehlung wer auf Einsamkeit, Baumhaus und Jungel steht.

Heerlijk, rust, ontspannen en uniek verblijf!
Pros:

De rust, prachtige unieke locatie in de middle of nowhere. Heerlijk prive zwembad er bij waar je lekker kan ontspannen. Ook de medewerkers zijn heel aardig en zorgen goed voor je. We kregen zelfs lunch en diner.

Cons:

Een tip is om ergens haakjes te maken om kleren op te hangen en in de kamer een spiegel zou fijn zijn.

The most peaceful stay ever
Pros:

Such an immersive experience. The most incredible and friendly staff. As a female solo traveller, I felt safe. Very private and relaxing. Close to Yala for safari.

Cons:

Some of the sheets / towels were stained. But everything looked clean though.

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.
