Offered an extraordinary safari experience, where we were treated to captivating sights of elephants, diverse bird species, and a spectrum of wildlife. The night became magical with a delightful dinner by the warm glow of the fire, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The hospitality exceeded our expectations, making us feel truly welcomed. The food was a delicious journey into Sri Lankan traditions, leaving us with a lasting and delightful experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a blend of wildlife adventure, heartwarming hospitality, and mouthwatering traditional cuisine.

Lovely villa located just next to Yala National park, which makes it very convenient for the Safari. The hosts were beyond kind, they helped us with everything and answered all our questions. The food was delicious, we couldn’t recommend it more. The villa was extremely clean and in the garden and surroundings you can easily spot a lot of animals (there is a river at a walkable distance with crocodiles!- a mini Yala ☺️

Very nice and equipped tents! One of the best showers in Sri Lanka. We felt like close to the nature. The beds were very comfortable. The food was super delicious and the Safari that we booked with them was very nice. We asked them to leave 30minutes earlier and they managed to do so. Our Safari guide Oshan was very nice and put a lot of effort into our experience and showed a lot of different animals.

It sounds like a wonderful place to stay, especially for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the biodiversity and scenic landscapes near Yala National Park. Staying at Podi Hoona Eco Bush Camp would likely provide a peaceful and eco-friendly experience, allowing guests to appreciate the natural surroundings and perhaps spot some of the local wildlife, including geckos, in their natural habitat.

The room was very clean and big, with AC. Near to Yala national park. Very quiet at night, with a nice atmosphere and good options to have dinner by walk. The host, Malinga, was very kind: ready to counsel us and take us to great places. He offers a taxi service, so is a good option to go there from your previous location or go with him to your next destination in your trip.

We had the most magnificent stay at Hilton Yala. Everything was perfect. You could really see that the hotel was newly built, everything in the room was perfect and designed to perfection and the rooms are very spacious. The personal was also super helpful and very friendly and catered all of our wishes. We even had the chance to see an elephant only a few meters away while we were laying on the pool and he entered the property which was amazing! Would definitely go back immeadiately.

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
