Leopard Safaris Yala

Leopard Safaris Yala

📍 Yala National Park, Katagamuwa Road, Kataragama
★★★★ 9.6 (41 reviews)

"You really do get the feeling of being in the bush here, yet you have the luxuries like aircon, showers and a pool to cool off in. The food they serve is clearly sourced locally, very fresh and made on camp. Don't expect 5 star resort choice rather home quality food which we loved, especially the Buffalo curd for breakfast. They take you on safari in their own vehicles and their guides(all university trained naturalists of various types) do know their stuff. We didn't see Leopards but plenty of others did, our bad luck. We did 2 safaris, others did more which clearly increases your chances of seeing them. It is dusty, hot and bumpy but if we enjoyed it and we are in our 60's its not that hard work"

"The following is a version after sorting out and rewriting the text you provided: --- The natural environment is indeed good, but the service quality is seriously not up to par. This so-called "wild luxury hotel" is only "wild" but not "luxurious". The waiter's response speed is extremely slow, and it is impossible to find someone, and even the basic accommodation needs cannot be met. There was no quilt on the bed. I contacted the hotel at night to ask for a quilt, but I couldn't find anyone at all. Mosquito nets were not provided (although the hotel pictures showed that there were some), which resulted in many mosquito bites when sleeping at night. The catering service is also very bad. Due to insufficient staff, the speed of serving meals is extremely slow, and it takes three hours to wait for a meal. What's worse is that there is a hole in the tent. I don't know what animal ran in and gnawed my bag. There are also obvious contradictions about booking a hotel. When booking, the hotel clearly stated that a tent can only accommodate two people at most, and no extra beds are allowed, even for children. Therefore, the two adults and two children were forced to book two tents. However, after arriving at the hotel, we found that the tent space was very large and could accommodate more people. The hotel even took the initiative to propose an extra bed. This makes me unable to understand why extra beds were not allowed before. When dining in the evening, we found that there were six tables of people dining including us (when we asked during the day, we learned that the hotel only had six tents), which indicates that the hotel may have overbooked. In general, this hotel has many problems, unprofessional service, and chaotic management. Thank you to Ctrip customer service for coordinating, contacting and comforting all night, and providing corresponding compensation. But such a hotel obviously needs agents to strengthen supervision and improvement."

Mandara Rosen Yala, Kataragama

📍 Mandara Rosen, No.57, Detagamuwa, Kataragama
★★★★ 7.8 (48 reviews)

"Came to Kataragama to see the Yala National Park and a couple of temples. While the safari in the national park was worth every minute we spent there, and Kataragama was interesting, even fascinating, this resort was ultimately disappointing, despite its clear potential and interesting if dated architecture. The service was below average, the atmosphere neither here nor there, the room big and comfortable, but old, which makes it hard to keep and feel clean. Value was ok, while the food was good, the alcohol choice was very poor and substandard. The internet was frustratingly slow and the power went off at least 3 times."

"Our stay at Hotel Kynrock was truly a dream come true for my family. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us like their own family, making us feel so welcome and loved. After a long day at the Yala Safari, relaxing in the pool was pure happiness. This place is a little piece of heaven in Kataragama. If you are traveling with your loved ones, this is a must visit hotel."

Leopard Safaris Yala ★★★★
"We had such a great experience in Leopard Safaris Yala. We stayed in a beautiful lodge deep in the lush greenery and felt the sense of adventure the minute we arrived. The staff were really accommodating and really well organised. The morning drives and watching the sunrise were sublime! Each meal was a veritable feast of colour and flavour. It was a fantastic experience!!"

"The service is very good and the environment is average. It's just a big tent. If you want to stay in hotel facilities, don't stay. There is no hot water, no toiletries, and there will be invasion by flying insects and small geckos. It's an experience of being close to nature."

Mandara Rosen Yala, Kataragama ★★★★
"We stayed at this property for 2 nights, and unfortunately, the experience was far below expectations for a 4-star hotel. The hotel didn’t seem busy, yet basic services were poorly managed. On our second day, we left the room in the morning and returned around 6 PM, only to find housekeeping still cleaning. After a long day of sightseeing, this was extremely inconvenient. The pool towel policy was another issue. We were told towels could not be taken to the room and had to be used only at the pool. Since the weather was cold, we had to walk back to our room in wet clothes, which is unreasonable and could lead to guests getting sick. Breakfast was the worst among the four properties we stayed at during our trip. Flies were on the fruit, food was cold, and staff seemed more interested in enjoying breakfast themselves than serving guests. The live station appeared to be exclusively for staff—when guests were present, no chef was available, but as soon as staff arrived, the chef started cooking for them. It felt more like a staff cafeteria than a guest dining area. Management needs to take these issues seriously. While we didn’t expect luxury, basic etiquette, hygiene, and professionalism should be standard for a 4-star property."
