All meals were just amazing. The service was so good, they always greeted us with a smile. There was a communication barrier everywhere we went in Sri Lanka but not here. They understood what we wanted and how we wanted it.

    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.

    The hotel is situated in the proximity of Yala national park (free pick-up by safari jeep available). The hotel lobby and dining area is very nice. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Food was delicious. The a la card selection is limited but we got some delicious choices - the kids especially praised the chicken soup and noodles. Also my chicken curry was great. They also offer breakfast packages (to take them on safari) but we opted for classical dine-in breakfast and we were not dissapointed.

    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.

    A very beautiful, very stylish, still cosy hotel. Some of the rooms even suitable for groups up to eight. And the jewel: Appu and his wife and grandson. Caretaker and cooks of delicious Sri Lankan cuisine. Nice pool. Close to the Yala entrance. We very much enjoyed our safari with the smart and experienced driver, also organised by the hotel.

    An amazing hotel in the middle of Yala national park. The room was beautiful and very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Booked two safaris and a walking tour through the hotel which were excellent. As well as one evening an elephant venturing into the hotel grounds!
