Amazing
Posted on Feb 1, 2025
This hotel is really amazing. I enjoyed every single service they provide. The room is huge and clean. They have beautiful swimming pool. The price really affordable and it’s include either lunch or dinner.
The staffs are very friendly and helpful. SriLankan people just lovely.
The thing they could improve is the WIFI 😭 it’s super super slow.

Breakfast was great, was able to bring along prepacked breakfasts for my safari & check out. However, could be more efficient with housekeeping (i came back from my safari to a room that wasnt cleaned yet, which was disappointing). But the people are nice. Just be more efficient.

Not far from Yala Park, near Lake Tisser, the scenery is beautiful. The hotel is cost-effective, the dinner is rich, and they will pack breakfast for you if you get up early to go on safari.

Very close to Lake Tisser, the room is about 30 square meters, consistent with the pictures, a wildlife hotel, don't have too high expectations for furniture and facilities, there are some small creatures in it, it's normal, it's acceptable. When checking in, someone helped to carry the luggage to the room. The dinner was very rich, and the meal was included in the room booking. It was better than what we had eaten in the restaurant a few days ago, and the price-performance ratio was very high. The service during the meal was also good. Because we had to get up early to go to Yala Park the next day, the hotel packed a very rich breakfast.

Is there a power outage? The hair dryer is broken. The front desk said they would send it to me, but it didn't show up. The hotel includes dinner, but it doesn't start until 7:30. You can't sit in the restaurant even five minutes earlier.

Great
Posted on May 7, 2024
The location is near the Tisir Lake. Breakfast and dinner are included. The dinner buffet is good compared to other Sri Lankan food. The breakfast is packed, which is convenient for going to Yala. The sanitary conditions are average. There are mosquitoes, but it is convenient to take a shower. The room is not very bright. Overall, it can be chosen as a transition hotel.

It is a largish hotel. At one time about a hundred people eating in the dinning room. Manager himself was going around in the hall. Wonderful room. Wonderful service. Just one example. I was sitting in their lobby, going through my messages. A waiter came, and gave me a glass of juice. I would specially mention Susantha for his enthusiastic service.We have stayed in three hotels if this chain. All excellent. I

We had a dream of a holiday. We will be back here next year as a result of the excellent experience we had at Oak Ray Wild Yala. From the minute we arrived we felt welcome. All of this is thanks to the superb service offered by Mr Asanka and his front office team. Genuinely very kind and helpful people. Our room was clean and comfortable. A vast selection of foods are offered. Value for money. Highly recommend!
