Owin Rose Yala Safari Hotel

Perfect hotel if you are coming for a safari in Yala. The room was basic but clean, with good a/c. The swimming pool is great and very welcome after a hot day in the park. This is exceptional value for money.

The rooms and staff are wonderful! They also arrange safaris for you, so it's very convenient.

The hotel was spotless, the beds were very comfortable, they had a pool, great area, lovely owners who even gave us a free upgrade. The family pre organised the safari for us and it was AMAZING, no messing around. We had our own private driver and jeep as nobody else had booked on, pick up to and from the hotel, plus free bottled water each. Our driver kasun was amazing we saw absolutely everything a leapord, water buffalo’s, peacocks, iguanas, storks, crocodiles, baby crocs, monkeys and a huge family of elephants babies included. He was very knowledgeable told us about every animal gave us binoculars and he was a very safe and skilled driver. One of our favourite experiences in Sri Lanka

Everything was great

Location is great. The room has a balcony overlooking some rice fields. Beds was comfortable, room spacious. The owner dropped us at the bus station for free which was nice.

The moment we walked into reception, before I took my pack off, they wanted us to book their safari. They only seemed interested for us to book their safari to the point where I had to ask them to stop pressuring us. The hotel is under construction. The resturant was closed and rubble in the garden. The hot water had a unpleasant odour.
