This hotel has a nice swimming pool and a very friendly staff that did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms are spacious and clean, but very basic. There is a (noisy) AC and the beds were clean and had nice sheets. My biggest problem was the bathroom, which was not dirty, but the infrastructure was horrible: damp smell, moldy walls with fungus and a bare concrete floor which also showed black stains. I would not go near the shower or sink and I only used the (clean) toilet. This room is simply unfinished and needs tiles to give it a clean feel. I would urge the staff to do something about this. It completely ruined the hotel for me.

Brilliant hotel - Staff and owner are so friendly and welcoming. Hotel has a restaurant that serves delicious food and there is a beautiful swimming pool. My room had AC and a mosquito net. The hotel is also only a 3 min walk to the nearest town. 10/10 would recommend

The place is very nice.. small place but with very friendly host and staff. Their rooms are good. The pillows are excellent. The dip in their swimming pool is very relaxing. They try their best to make yummy food to your taste and liking.

We stayed one night in this great place after enjoying the safari. The swimming pool is beautiful, just surrounded by trees, bushes and flowers. The rooms are massive and are well equiped with fans and A/C. All the beds have mosquito nets. We had dinner, lunch and breakfast there and even though the menu is simple, the quality of the food is amazing. The staff was always very friendly and looking after us at all times. A very nice and enjoyable stay.

Great hotel with family feeling. Spacious rooms, friendly staff, good swimming pool. Excellent choice when visiting the Yala park and want to stay overnight. We were four friends staying in Feb and all of us were satisfied. The food was good.

Stayed at The Great Yala Hotel for just 1 night. The very large room with a large balcony, a large swimming pool. The food at the restaurant was good too, including the friendly staff it will make me stay here again when I do visit Yala and / or Bundala.

Très grande chambre avec terrasse et vue sur la piscine. Petit hôtel très sympa avec un personnel aux petits soins. Nous y avons souper les 2 soirs et fort bien mangé. (Choix de repas varié:Sri lankais ou autre). Endroit calme pour se reposer après une Journée safari/visite.
