There was no hot water on the , the room was not cleaned properly at arrival, the Duvet cover was torn. The staff was extremely friendly and the place is beautiful. They acknowledged the cleaning and did it immediately and apologised which is truly appreciated. But honestly for a 4 star rating its bad - the bath fixtures were not in good shape.

“Just the best!”
Amazing location, with a great safari organised by the hotel. The cocktails were the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka, and the pool was so tranquil and peaceful. We felt safe at all times, with the occasional lizard walking past our room. We were also lucky enough to see an Asian water monitor, bats flying around, and even a crocodile it was truly an amazing experience. A massive thank you to Upul (10/10), who made our stay very special and provided the best hospitality anyone could ask for and more, bringing us plenty of laughs and delightful moments. I would highly recommend Wild Culture Yala, and we hope to come back one day!

“We were very happy with both our accommodation and safari experience. 👍”
The safari tour they arranged for us was amazing — we even saw a leopard. The hotel is very close to the park entrance, so it was very easy to get there. The dinner was especially amazing. Our room was very spacious, and the hotel’s design was modern and beautiful.

“Relaxing stay”
Lovely setting, relaxing, nice pool and pool area with plenty of lounge chairs. Rooms were very spacious with nice views to open green spaces. Loved the landscaped garden, the big pond with fish and lilies. The staff were so friendly and helpful particularly Upul who was very attentive, helpful and welcoming not just with us but very noticeably with the other guests as well. Dinner was delicious!!! Thank you!!

“Stunning, luxurious hotel with everything you could need very close to Yala National Park safaris”
Nicest hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Facilities are incredible - stunning pool, basketball, mini golf, archery and rifle shooting. Best room we had in Sri Lanka, gorgeous bathroom and very comfortable bed. Food and drink were great too - special shoutout to Dushan’s cocktails! Staff are absolutely wonderful, organised our safari and were very attentive throughout. Particular shoutout to Upul who helped us with everything throughout our stay. Will definitely come back if we return to Sri Lanka and will recommend it to all our friends.
