Cheap hotels in Yala

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.

Excellent and quiet location, delicious food and friendly service

Very pleasant and accommodating

Well maintained facility, food is excellent.

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. Highly recommended for anyone who looks for a wonderful wildlife experience….

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.

Priyantha and his family gave us an experience we will never forget.The family was extremely friendly and hospitable and Priyantha and his son,Hansa,went above and beyond with their care for us. Communication after booking was excellent. As the location is off the main road and up a challenging but fun dirt track we were met at Yoda lake and followed Hansa to the accommodation,which is located 10 yards from the perimeter of Yala National park. As we were driving our rented Tuktuk,Priyantha and Hansa kindly drove us back to the local town and main roads at the end of our stay. We stayed 4 nights in an authentic mud house which is set in a wonderfully designed woodland setting.Rooms are very private,extremely peaceful and away from all the tourists. Priyantha provided plenty of excellent healthy food as and when you wanted it,you will not go hungry here.A fire was set for us to sit round every evening with the host providing authentic live music after dinner.Three of the healthiest and friendliest dogs belong to the family and will gladly lead you on the many walks available from the property. We saw an abundance of wildlife on the local walks,monkeys,deer,eagles,crocodiles to name but a few.Priyantha kindly took us traditional rod fishing,net fishing,to a secret beach where we were the only two people and were lucky enough to see an elephant very close to the beach in addition to a visit to a local monastery and local temple which had a unique twist.A full day safari tour was also organised by Priyantha with his very experienced and friendly driver,at a very reasonable price.We simply cannot recommend Yala wild house and farm high enough if your willing to embrace an experience never to be forgotten. Thank you Priyantha,Hansa,Loki,driver and family,you all went above and beyond to provide us with the most amazing experience.

Nice rooms, big beds, air-conditioning, balcony with an amazing view to the forest

We love the tents! Is actually a very juce experience to add to the safari, to sleep in the national park, you a pretty close to block 1. The staff were amazing, very professional, friendly and nice. The food, we tried the food a la Carte too. They also clean your room and tidy up it every morning.
