Positive: The Den at Yala is a true gem! This small, intimate hotel with only four rooms offers an incredibly personal and welcoming experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted so warmly by Gabriel, his wife, their children, the stuff, and even their friendly dogs – it genuinely felt like arriving at a home away from home. The hospitality was exceptional, making our stay truly memorable. If you're looking for a cozy and personal retreat near Yala, The Den is an absolute must.
Summary: The perfect place, must go! Can’t wait to come back

Positive: Definately book here. Everything was perfect. Friendly staff, great food and plenty of it, best accomodation we’ve had in Sri Lanka, beautiful attention to detail and idealic location so close to the Yala NP. Gabriel organised the safari for us with guides that he trusts and they did a great job. We saw a leopard, an elephant, toucans, monkeys, crocodiles, spotted deer and lots of birdlife. Can’t recommend booking this place highly enough.
Summary: Book here - no doubt about it

Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The whole property was perfect for our family of four. We have 2 young kids (2 and 5 years old), and they loved playing with the dogs, and running around in the large yard area. My son spent all his time catching frogs and lizards while my daughter chased him around. It was safe and fun for them to explore. We saw monkeys in the trees, and peacocks roaming around the property. The food was really delicious. Home cooked, healthy, and tasty. The owner was there during our stay and we enjoyed getting to know him. He has so much experience and knowledge about the area, and was very accommodating to us. I wish we could have stayed longer!
Negative: The only thing I would change would be to add a thicker comforter to the bedding. Although, I do think I discovered some extra blankets in one of the cabinets as we were checking out, and I'm sure had I asked for another blanket, something would have been provided. The team at The Den was very helpful!
Summary: Couldn't have been better!
