We had an amazing stay at this villa in Yala, thanks to our wonderful host Udara! He went above and beyond to make our trip special. Udara helped us book our safari, provided fresh fruit, and even delivered takeaway breakfast early in the morning. He also allowed us to check out a few hours late, which was incredibly convenient. The villa itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a spacious AC room and laundry facilities - a must-have when traveling. And, we fell in love with the adorable cat! Highly recommend this place, especially if you're planning a safari in Yala. Udara's kindness and hospitality make it truly special.

It was a great experience in the wild of Yala! The minute we arrived at the place, we received an exceptional welcoming reception. The place is quite but with beautiful animal sounding. Every staff was so friendly.

We spent two nights in this little resort at a lonely beach right next to Yala NP. We just wanted to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. You can stroll along the long beach, collect shells and watch the sea birds. The owner Hansa and his assistant and cook made us feel very comfortable and served us delicious meals and great breakfasts with big fruit plates, once even the Sri Lankan style breakfast. The curries and the fish dishes were outstanding and very tasty! It was a three-course meal every evening cooked just for us! The price for these meals was absolutely okay for us. Hansa is a very knowledgeable person who can tell you a lot of interesting things about life in Sri Lanka if you ask him. We especially enjoyed sleeping outside on the big porch where there are three beds to relax in during day and night. The unforgettable highlight of our stay, however, was watching an elephant at about four o’clock in the morning, eating some leaves from his favorite tree next to the main house and then passing silently by the veranda where we were breathless (and a little nervous) onlookers!

It sounds like a wonderful place to stay, especially for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the biodiversity and scenic landscapes near Yala National Park. Staying at Podi Hoona Eco Bush Camp would likely provide a peaceful and eco-friendly experience, allowing guests to appreciate the natural surroundings and perhaps spot some of the local wildlife, including geckos, in their natural habitat. Highly recommended for anyone who looks for a wonderful wildlife experience….

The room was very clean and big, with AC. Near to Yala national park. Very quiet at night, with a nice atmosphere and good options to have dinner by walk. The host, Malinga, was very kind: ready to counsel us and take us to great places. He offers a taxi service, so is a good option to go there from your previous location or go with him to your next destination in your trip.

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
