    Property had a great design, very environmentally friendly integrated with nature. Staff and food were main highlights - absolutely great service and very flexible with the menu. Attention to detail and guest preferences was also brilliant.

    I liked the design and the materials used both in the interior and exterior. Really beautiful. Thankful for the organized safari to Yala and our guide Appu, thanks to whom we saw all kinds of animals and even a leopard - far away sleeping in a tree. Thank you very much for the breakfast packet for the road. However, if you don't go to Yala, you may find a gorgeous bouquet of creatures in your room. For example, a small frog and a lizard.

    We had a great stay in Ranakeliya lodge. We stayed in a tent which felt like we were still in the park. Everything had a great taste for design and was very clean. The breakfast was just lovely and cherry on the top! Highly recommended

    - The manager Goshi was a brilliant host. - Lovely bathroom with a walk-in shower. - The design of the property means it is very peaceful. - The Sri Lankan dinner was delicious, especially the string hoppers.

    The room was lovely, with a comfortable bed and really nice toiletries provided. Staff were friendly but it was quite busy so sometimes they're distracted sorting something else. The location is fantastic. We saw an elephant at the lake and lots of other wildlife. The pool area was comfortable and I liked how they had designed it around the trees.

    A wonderfully designed oasis of luxury just outside Yala National Park. From the minute we arrived we were treated like royalty. Whilst there we had some of the most delicious food and they went above and beyond to make it really special with a ceremonial bonfire, cake to celebrate our honeymoon and a range of activities available at a moments notice. We took the safari with Wild Culture too which we would recommend. The property is also keen to avoid reusable plastic which is brilliant.

    Calm, quiet and relaxing place. The staff were friendly and helped us with every request we made. It was in a less touristy place which we preferred. The room was big and very comfortable. Good hot water shower and other facilities too. They provided us with a lovely breakfast at 5- 5.30am everyday to take on our morning safari tours which was great. We really enjoyed our stay at Rock Wild, a lovely boutique hotel.
