This is such a special place to stay! We saw loads of wildlife around the property and out on the Safari. We booked two jungle family rooms for our family of 4 and they were spacious, clean and comfortable. The food was decent, drinks were yummy, and the service was great. They don't play music at the pool or restaurants and so you become attuned to all of the nature sounds around you. It's a wonderful place and great value!

the rooms were spacious, the food was delicious, the staff was wonderful...the experience of "glamping" in the national park surrounded by nature and no walls was quite exciting. The safari was fun, the food provided was great, and we had a BBQ night which exceeded our expectations.

We visited Yala for two days (with two separate game drives - one evening and one morning one) and although we enjoyed the animals we observed, we did not have any sightings of leopards despite being the national park with the highest concentration in the world. But that is nature so we were just unlucky on those days. However, the most disappointing aspect of Yala was the sheer number of vehicles allowed into the park at one time. As soon as elephants or leopards are sighted, drivers communicate among themselves and vehicles all rush to the scene creating a massive traffic jams. This makes it feel very mass market and doesn’t seem very respectful of the wildlife

Terrible time. No wild animals as expected.
Terrible time. No wild animals as expected. Roads are all around the jungle which is pretty disturbing to the wild life. After all it is supposed to be a protected zone for wild life. Jeeps are crawling every corner of the territory. Amused to see all of that disturbing scenes in a wild life protected zone. It's like business zone. Poor animals.AAnonymousThailand - 10Scored 10
I loved Yala.
I loved Yala. The number of different animals seen was slightly disappointing but apparently wash outs due to rain prevented us from accessing some internal roads. The sunrise and scenery were stunning. I would rate it as good value despite the lack of animals. The whole experience was wonderful.ElizabethAustralia - 6.0Scored 6.0

The national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long. Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

The hike in the nature reserve was amazing, we saw lots of amazing animals and landscapes. Were lucky and we were able to meet the tiger as well. It is important to note that the trip should take drinks and food, the hotel staff where we were did not tell us the length of the trip and did not make sure to let us know that we should take care of ourselves. Of course we were smarter and brought with us the necessary equipment .. But there were those next to us who did not and that was unfortunate

We stayed at Laya Beach resort which was very beautiful and was very close to our safari's which made our stay even better. The beach, however, was too rough to swim which was a little disappointing.

- 9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 1 reviewAll! The whole place is arranged perfectly in nature among the trees so you have complete privacy of your stay! Although property is in the jungle, roads are accessible to any vehicle and in a good condition. Safari park is 9 minutes far from hotel so there was no need to get up early in the morning to go to safari entrance. That is the main benefit staying here that I recommend. Their safari was also exceptional, we saw two leopards. Pasindu was really helpful and always available to ask anything about stay and safari.MatildaUnited Kingdom
- From $61.42 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 247 reviewsWe had a fantastic time at Mahoora Tented Safari Camp Yala. The atmosphere at camp was great and our tent deserved the title “glamping” in every sense of the word as they were more luxurious than most hotels all while being in the middle of nature. The safari experience with senior naturalist Asela was incredible as well. Asela guided us to the best spots at Yala National Park and explained everything in great detail with his outstanding wealth of knowledge. We would come back anytime!AAnonymousGermany
- From $45 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 61 reviewsAmazing location. So peaceful after being in the more busy parts of the south coast! A bit isolated (but thats what makes it so beautiful) so if you dont have your own transport make sure to take what you need so you dont have to go 15km back to the town centre. Ask the owner about watching the sunset on the sand dunes. Hotel also organised our morning safari tour which was seamless & provided all meals at cost which were delicious and reasonably pricedElizaAustralia

Despite camping, the rooms seems like a good hotel with large comfortable room. We stayed one night only, 2 could have been better for the safari and enjoy more the hotel. It was during our honeymoon and they made sure everything was pretty special. Special attention from food and beverage manager who seemed to be running the whole place, making sure everything worked out
Hugo HenriquePortugal - From $140 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 172 reviewsVery friendly staff and clean room! We stayed there for one night only as we wanted to visit the Yala National Park before heading to Ella. The hotel is located near to a beach which was quite busy and crowded with locals. There were many small shops/kiosks around the beach shore so do not expect privacy there. The hotel itself was good. The staff helped us with arranging a tour to the Yala National Park and were very helpful all around.
