Hôtel près de Arbre sacré Bo, Kataragama, Kataragama

« The room was okay and what is too be expected with a tent.. some little creatures in the room but otherwise fine. »

« Seemed the best hotel in the area. Room big with a terrace leading to the very attractive large pool with the lake and a tree house to climb. Monkeys about who were fun to watch. Breakfast more to Asian tastes than mine but French toast, potato’s, fruit and breads available.It was very quiet during our stay with more staff than guests! Good choice for Yala but recommend the wild edge restaurant opposite in the evening for a drink. »

« Beautiful hotel, wonderful swimming pool! Very relaxing! »

« Great place to start your safari in Yala »

« Staff did'nt know english and also rude. For dinner initially they told us that only 2 items are available. Only after another guest who was sitting in the next table mentioned a menu then they brought the menu. Both food quality and service was poor »

« Worst Experience – This is Not Even a Hotel This place should not be listed as a hotel. It is located in the middle of nowhere, completely inaccessible by car. We had to walk a long distance on foot, during which we encountered wild animals — an extremely unsafe situation. Upon arrival, we were shocked to find that the entire facility was in a state of severe neglect. Mold was present everywhere — on the walls, ceilings, and even furniture. The conditions were absolutely unacceptable. We...

« The owners and staff went out of their way to ensure the stay was as comfortable as possible. Great location with real homely atmosphere. »

« A hidden gem! A beautiful, clean and comfortable cottage right in the middle of the forest, in the heart of nature. Lovely staff and service. They even arranged a last minute safari for me, which was worth it. The restaurant serves organic and fresh meals (veg only) and the view of the lake is spectacular! The host even took us for a walk around the areas and we saw some lovely birds. This place is worth every penny. Highly recommended. »

« Le séjour s’est passé merveilleusement bien ! Un personnel aux petits soins , très accueillant et efficace, des repas excellents et des chambres tout confort »

« Super exclusive base for safaries. Fantastic food from breakfast to lunch and dinner, very knowledgeable guides and great service overall. Would recommend to anyone looking for a premium experience in Yala. »

« The stay was amazing. From the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted by the owners of the property who showed exceptional hospitality. The room was really nice and clean with an amazing view of the surroundings. The food was 10/10 with a selection of both local and international options. The owners helped with arranging a jeep for the safari and were ready to help with any other requests. I would highly recommend staying at the property if you’re going for the Yala Jungle Safari. »

« Makini Bush Camp is an absolute gem in Yala! The stunning tented rooms are beautifully decorated and equipped with all the comforts you could wish for, including a refreshing plunge pool—perfect for cooling off after a walk in the bush. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable stay, accommodating a range of experiences, including a half-day safari inside the park and a delightful nature walk around the camp. Our guide, Mr. Koushalya, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate...

« The room was ok, with good views of the lake, but found lots of creepy crawlies and insects in our room one inside bed, and one inside of a folded towel, the food was not that brill, we ordered prawn curry but they gave us shrimps, with watery gravy, probably ok for the locals. »

« All in all, happy to stay here, just be prepared to do a lot of extra work to check-in. The location is incorrectly indicated on Facebook, TripAdvisor & hotels.com, and is 10km north of Tissa. Easily accessed by public transit if you've got the correct address. Make sure they know you're coming, as they were unaware I had made the reservation. If you can't find their phone #, try them on Facebook, or worst case scenario, go to to their Tile & Bathroom Shop, next to Sampath Bank... Don't...

« Les managers qui parlent français nous ont organisé un safari dans le parc Yala avec un chauffeur très compétant. Il y a une belle piscine au milieu d'un parc bien entretenu et il est agréable de d'année sur la terrasse de la chambre. Mais attention aux moustiques. Beaucoup de choix au dinner, mais service un peu lent, tout est fait à la demande. Nous avons apprécié nos deux nuits. »

« Bon accueil avec un verre de bienvenue Chambre spacieuse et propre avec une belle terrasse mais pas d eau chaude pour la douche Piscine mais un peu fraiche Très bon petit déjeuner en buffet »
