    the attention to detail in the rooms, with their jungle-themed decor, added a special touch to my stay. the staff were incredibly helpful, attending to all my needs. the pool was a refreshing spot to relax after a day of exploring the surrounding national park. Waking up to the sounds of nature was truly a mesmerizing experience.

    the staff were incredibly welcoming and supportive, making our experience truly memorable. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, even offering to pick us up when our driver got lost. the rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the food was simply delicious. the location was incredible, surrounded by wildlife and immersed in the natural beauty of the area. We also enjoyed a well-organized safari, where our driver made sure we had the best sightings and patiently waited for us to take photos. it was an amazing experience, and we would definitely stay here again. Cons: Nothing, all good! 👍.

    My partner and I had a fantastic stay at Kele Yala! The hotel's location in the national park was ideal for our safari adventure. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness, providing excellent customer service. The room was modern, clean, and cozy, and the daily breakfast was amazing. The hotel's pool was a perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. A special mention to the manager for letting us use his phone as a hotspot for internet access. We highly recommend this hotel for a nature-filled getaway with exceptional hosts.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    Our stay at Kele Yala was absolutely amazing. The location was tucked away in a beautiful jungle setting, creating a unique and serene atmosphere. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a forest theme, and they were impeccably clean and comfortable. We enjoyed delicious meals in the open air dining room, surrounded by the vibrant colors of the jungle. One morning, we were delighted to witness purple sun birds sipping nectar from the flowers inside the dining room. It was truly a magical experience. The hotel manager, Eranga, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. He organized a fantastic safari to Yala National Park and made sure we had a knowledgeable and experienced driver. The highlight of our stay was the safari, where we encountered an incredible variety of wildlife, including a leopard, sloth bear, crocodiles. The hotel also had a lovely swimming pool and captivating gardens filled with diverse flora and fauna. The absence of Wi-Fi made Kele Yala even more peaceful. I highly recommend this hidden gem for a truly unforgettable experience.

    I had an amazing stay at a lovely little oasis just outside the national park. The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly. They even arranged a full day safari trip into the park for me. After a long day of exploring and searching for wildlife, relaxing by the pool was the perfect way to unwind. I also appreciated that the manager let me use his phone as a hotspot when I needed to get online. I highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

    We had an incredible stay at Kele Yala in the middle of nowhere. The rooms were beautifully decorated, the bathroom spacious, and everything was spotlessly clean. The staff went above and beyond, and the dinner we had was delicious with a complimentary dessert. The evening ambiance with the lit lamps around the rooms and pool was incredibly romantic. The highlight was the amazing safari organized by the owner, where we saw a leopard, sloth bear, crocodiles, and even a playful elephant. The perfect nature resort with all the luxury one could wish for!

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    We were amazed by the beautiful surroundings of Kele Yala. Being nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's wilderness truly made us feel like we were in the jungle. The rooms were comfortable and had all the creature comforts we needed. The Sri Lankan food served at the property was exceptional, and the staff even took the time to show us how it was cooked. The whole experience felt like a retreat, allowing us to disconnect from the world and immerse ourselves in nature. The swimming pool was a refreshing oasis in the heat, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. we would highly recommend Kele Yala for anyone wanting to visit Yala National Park.

    We had the most incredible stay at Kele Yala Villa! The location was absolutely stunning, nestled in the heart of nature. Our room was beautifully decorated and spacious, making us feel right at home. The highlight was definitely the friendly and attentive staff who took great care of us. The breakfast was delicious, and we enjoyed a delightful dinner as well. The pool on-site was a refreshing bonus after our safari adventure. Highly recommended for a truly exceptional experience!

    The rooms at this hotel were large and spacious, with comfortable beds and showers. the safari chic decor added a nice touch to the overall ambiance. the staff was friendly and accommodating, especially the server and chef at dinner who made sure we had a great variety of local dishes. the organized safari was well-structured, despite our unfortunate luck with the rain.

    The lack of WiFi was a downside, even though it could be seen as a way to disconnect. the breakfast on the safari was quite basic and bland, although all other meals at the hotel were excellent.
