    Nothing

    We loved everything about our stay. The treehouse was something we will never forget, you’re literally 1/2 an hour into the jungle, the staff simply couldn’t do enough and the food was top notch and in abundance. Our dinner cooked on bbq in a survivor setting was next level amazing. We highly recommend anyone to stay for the full 5 star jungle experience. One thing that’s not stated it there’s a plunge pool!

    Our stay at Leopard Nest Yala was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a seamless check-in experience. The luxurious tents provided the perfect balance of comfort and nature, featuring spacious interiors, elegant decor, and all the modern amenities we needed. The guided safari was an absolute highlight—exploring Yala National Park in a 4x4 Toyota Hilux with expert guides gave us incredible wildlife sightings, including elephants and the elusive leopard. The staff's knowledge and passion for conservation made the experience even more enriching. Dining at Leopard Nest was another unforgettable aspect. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared with fresh, locally inspired flavors, served in the heart of nature. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re looking for an adventure that combines luxury with the thrill of the wild, Leopard Nest Yala is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

    Great authentic jungle experience, the candlelit bbq dinner was a highlight. They catered very well for me as a vegetarian, providing an amazing platter of freshly grilled veggies. Lasan and his team were excellent hosts and made sure we felt comfortable. They also arranged a great safari for us.

    After reading some reviews I was a bit scared about our stay at Leopard Nest. Fortunately unnecessarily. I think the owner of this hotel took all the comments to heart. 1. Right after we arrived the owner explained us everything, especially how to stay safe in the jungle, it was very valuable. We also received a whats up contact in case of any questions or needs. The contact was great and very fast 2. There were at least 4 people from the staff from early morning till late evening. 3. My internet from Sri Lankan mobile has a perfect signal, although I do not expect it in a jungle. There is wi fi at the reception, but I did not check it. 4. Breakfast and dinner are served, everything was delicious and so much that we could not eat it all. The dinner consisted of four courses appetizer, soup, grill and desserts. It was very nice in the middle of the jungle where only torches illuminated us. 5. There is bottled water in the room, and for dinner, if you want something else to drink, you can order it. 6. Additionally, because you have to go on safari very early in the morning, coffee and tea were waiting for us before we left, and we were given a tourist fridge full of sandwiches, eggs, fruit, cookies and water to take on safari. 7. Although the safari was organized by another company, the owner of the hotel asked us for contact to the driver to make sure everything would be on time. 8. The staff is very friendly, and everyone speaks very good English. 9. The air conditioning in the huts works very well. 10. When choosing this hotel, you have to remember that these are jungle huts and not a 5-star luxury hotel, you are close to nature here and in your room you can meet a small friendly lizard, this is an adventure and you have to be ready for it. 10.

    We booked a safari through the hotel. Although the driver skilled as a driver, he did not add to the experience as a guide. He only pointed to the various animals without offering any details or information and was always in a hurry to move on. When we saw an animal he stopped only for a few seconds to take a picture and did not stay longer for us to observe and enjoy the animals. We had an excellent driver in another safari in minneriya so the difference was striking

    The hotel is really nice and very clean for it being in the jungle. The rooms are small because its a tree house so take a small backpack with you for the night there. Staff are very friendly and accommodating and the barbecue dinner was excellent! Tasty and very nice ambience

    The drive from the pick up point to the jungle can be a bit bumpy and uncomfortable, but that is something to be expected considering the location of the hotel. There were some miscommunications and misunderstanding regarding the room type that was booked, but these issues were quickly resolved and dealt with by Gayan.

    The hotel is located deep in the jungles of Yala. If you're stayign here, chances are that it's for their leopard safari. We went on the safari shortly after checking in and it was a phenomenal experience. We weren't lucky enough to spot the leopards, but they say its a 50:50 chance of spotting one. We did, however, spot many other wild animals - crocodiles, elephants, water buffalos, deers, anteaters and many more. The hotel was as comfortable as it gets considering you are in the middle of the jungle, and the jungle barbecue dinner was spectacular. The hotel offers many more activities, and we opted for the morning lake-side walk with breakfast which was another highlight of our stay here, and afternoon fishing which was a lot of fun too. A special shout out to Gayan and his team for making our stay extremely comfortable and making sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were great and the small jacuzzi pool was fun to use as well. Highly recommended to anyone planning a trip to Yala for a jungle safari looking to stay in the jungle.
