Wow, wow, wow! This hotel is one of the best hotels I've ever been in my life. The room was amazing, the food was excellent, and the stuff were really friendly and nice. Vassa the owner is kind, and doing a great job running this place. I want also to mention Upul, one of the stuff members, he was so friendly and kind, and helped us with everything we needed. He really got in to our hearts.

Our stay was nothing short of exceptional, with every detail meticulously taken care of. The administrative staff, especially Sasini, was incredibly helpful and courteous, coordinating with us from the very beginning to ensure a seamless experience. The entire support staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. They booked our Yala safari, provided us with excellent snacks, and arranged a fantastic driver for the safari, ensuring we had the best experience exploring the wilderness. For anyone looking to indulge in luxury while being surrounded by nature, Lowin Yala is the ideal choice. Highly recommended!

Wonderful location with much greenery around the property and a small store nearby for snacks drinks and other little bits. We had a great stay with Udara and his family being so hospitable and even decorating the place for our son's birthday and helping us find a cake. The hosts prepared us an amazing dinner, actually it was one of our highlight meals for our trip! Breakfast was nicely packed for us for our safari. We loved this place and would absolutely stay again.

This place is amazing.

This place is amazing. We stay with our 3 young kids and the staff were so kind and attentive. All of the small details have been thought of and it’s a wonderful experience in nature. Lovely local Sri Lankan are served for each meal.

It definitely is an experience worth trying.

It definitely is an experience worth trying. The tree house has all the comforts you need but yet kept on the simple side. Don't expect much and you will get a lot. Nice food Bbq and big fire lit for you in the evening to give you a chance to relax and talk about your day activities. It was great to be left alone and the silence of the night. There were times you just felt that we were the only ones there and when you needed something the staff would magically appear

too many jeeps roaming around. 50% of the time we were searching for animals. at some occasions long long jams of jeeps trying to observe leopards and bears the park is beutiful but * jeeps number should be limited * we didnt see a leopard, saw elephants only once, saw a bear briefly only once - for 6 hours in the park we were disappointed

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.

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.

This is a beautiful hotel located 10 minute drive from Yala National Park. The rooms are modern, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. There is also a smart tv which was handy to have when it was raining heavily outside. The food was so delicious - we loved every meal we had. The pool area is so clean and well kept - we enjoyed some margaritas whilst relaxing in the sun. Highly recommend this hotel. The staff were super attentive and kind. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at Allure. From the moment we arrived, Ishan and the team really looked after us. The rooms and hotel in general are absolutely gorgeous. Huge comfy beds, lovely big bathrooms and private little pool areas. The location is great for visiting Yala National Park. It is really peaceful right by beautiful lake - we saw an amazing sunset from the rooftop one evening. It's one of the most memorable places we've ever stayed.

I had a wonderful experience at Tribe. Every staff member I encountered, from the head of F&B Bandara, Akram Hasha to our ranger dinesh and the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help! The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. Food was exceptional and fitted in our requests promptly. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Yala.

Great location, very close to Yala National Park and due to its location wild animals can roam freely near to the hotel, which is great if you love nature. Staff at the hotel are incredibly friendly and helpful. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are a very good size. Water pressure was also very good! I would definitely stay here again.
