Nothing!

The property was beautiful. Great location, amazing pool, living areas, inside and out. At the bottom of the garden there was a tree house overlooking a stunning lake - we spent the evenings here enjoying the wildlife and spotting crocodiles! Our host was exceptional. Anusha and her family tended to our every need, very polite, friendly and welcoming. They prepared our food for breakfast lunch and dinner, organised our safari, our travel and everything we needed for our stay. We highly recommend. We will most definitely be back in the future. Thank you!

We were warned by the host on arrival, that the floor is polished concrete and can be exceedingly slippery. You do need to take care. There were not as many beds as expected (2 doubles and 2 singles only). We had a bed added, but it did not then have a mosquito net, which was definitely needed in this place.

Beautiful eco-style property. Lots of comfortable places to relax and beautiful features. Large, well maintained outdoor pool, plenty of outdoor space and a stunning treehouse platform which overlooks the lake. Lots of bird life to be seen. Spacious comfortable bedrooms. Although the living areas of the house are open to the outside, and there are bugs, especially in the evening, the insect control seemed very good and these were not especially troublesome. The highlight was the host Anousha and her family, who welcomed us in to their new year celebrations and could not have done more for us, including serving up 2 delicious meals. Thank you.

What a fantastic stay, wish we had longer. Stunning property, all questions answered promptly from the owner who was very helpful. Wonderful family who look after the property too. Nothing too much trouble, excellent food etc. we were so well looked after. This was our favourite place of our Sri Lanka trip. A crocodile made an appearance in the night, which was a highlight

This is incredibly perfect place for a family that is managing by super nice family (thank you so much Anusha for all your kindness). The villa is cozy and has everything you need, the rooms are very comfortable and pool is amazing. The villa is located near the pound where you can watch different birds and even alligators. We were not much disturbed by insect and reptilians but at the same time you are in the centre of nature. The managing family is happy to provide you with breakfast, lunch and dinner for a very good price, we enjoyed it a lot. Definitely would come back

Our stay at Neem Tree House was nothing short of exceptional! Anousha and her family could not have done more to make our one night stay as comfortable as possible. We enjoyed the delicious bbq which included a whole grilled fish and chicken as well as the breakfast they prepared for us once we came back from safari. Location is near to Yala national park and she organised safari for the following morning and a jeep collected us from the accommodation. The facilities were amazing and we had a wonderful stay we will remember. Thank you!

Everything was fabulous.

Beautifully designed villa, very comfortable stylish rooms, open verandah lounge brings you close to wildlife, refreshing pool, a tree house overlooking a lake with crocodiles and stunning birds, and super friendly hospitable staff. Everything was amazing, and you get the whole place to yourself.

Beware that there are lots of insects at night because it’s a very open type of house. Not as private as we would have liked, the staff lives next door and they often come and check how you are doing with their little kid. However, They are very sweet!

You have the whole property to yourself. The Pool is actually not cold at all! The whole property is very pretty and spacious and the staff are very sweet and attentive!

Beautiful property, newly renovated. Super comfortable beds. Nice private pool. Tree house over the lake to just sit and watch the nature. Staff could not have done more for us

It is an 11 hour flight and long road trip from our home! Because if it was closer we’d visit a couple of long weekends a year and the fact I’d only booked 2 nights.

The house far exceeded expectations in every way. The photographs don’t do it justice. It is fairly isolated but certainly not remote, but I guess if you don’t have a driver or your own transport it might be difficult to get anywhere. The staff were lovely and the food they prepared was delicious home cooked Sri Lankan cuisine. We loved that in the area around the house there was lots of wildlife and even more if you went to platform at end of garden overlooking the lake.

Our stay at the Neem Tree House was definitely a perfect getaway! The team was fantastic, very accommodating and prepared some great food during our stay. The property is 20 minutes from the National park and arrangements can be done through the property. There is a lake close by where you can spot many alligators and a tree house where you can spend hours enjoying a bon fire. Will definitely visit again!

Beautiful property with a fantastic tree house to wildlife spot, a perfect setting.

My son struggled with how open the property was to nature and wildlife, but we knew this before coming and that it would be tricky for a very indoorsy child! Importantly, the bedrooms were fine with fans and nets, we didn't get any bites.

It's a lovely villa with a lakeside location, pleasant pool to cool off in, great food and wonderful service.

Stayed in August 2024

A few frogs in the bathrooms which were very cute but the kids weren’t impressed :)

The house was roomy and very cool, loved the decor and the views over the pool and gardens. The pool was lovely and the staff were so helpful. Loved the meal we were cooked that evening - so much food and great value for money.

We had the whole property to ourselves during our stay. It’s a beautiful house, with a traditional charm, surrounded by nature. The food was delicious!

We were the only guests which suited us, but could feel remote to others

Gorgeous villa, felt homely but luxurious at the same time

Mosquitoes, but can’t do to much to prevent it as right in the wild . Would suggest putting aircon unit in centre room as a safe cool space for everyone to sit

Location great for wildlife and close to yala . Staff super friendly and great food at very reasonable price , so good we at there every night . No need to go out .

Lots of mosquitoes so bring DEET (to be expected in the tropics). The property is catered but doesn’t have a drinks license, so you need to buy your own. Having said that, the owner did arrange for drinks to be delivered on the first night.

Incredibly friendly staff. Beautiful property. The kids loved the pool and enjoyed spotting the frogs and lizards darting around the place. They even found a snake (harmless) and spied a crocodile that lives by the lake. Lots of fireflies at night too so it felt magical. Great food too!

Hosts were very attentive, and the food they cooked for us was super delicious.

Due to the location and type of house it will have animals coming and going, but that’s not a problem for most people coming to Yala.

The people were lovely and the house was very spacious and very well decorated. The house blends greatly with the nature. It’s a good location to go to Yala National Park. Perfect for large groups.

Beautiful, we had the entire villa which included private pool and huge garden at the lake. Many birds and other animals. House has a great architecture with many open spaces. Family is wonderful and they cook delicious. Note that there is nothing around where you can walk to, so dont count on going anywhere ( anyway you dont really need to as everything is taken care of)

Mosquitos!! But of course this has nothing to do with the villa it self :)

It’s a very well maintained villa. It’s surrounded by the greenery. The view from the pool is just fantastic where you find many animals roaming around you will feel right in the middle of a small forest. The hosts were very friendly. The food was delicious.

Everything is wonderful but be prepared to have some insect visitors; this is inside the jungle and we intrude their space

The convenient access to Yala National park. The landscape is marvelous and good for medication and full of Zen. The food is amazingly good and the price is even bette, the spices added is subtle with good flavor. Our chef bought fish from the local fish market at 6:00 am. The style of food preparation is excellent. Manager Mr . Samdamal and his family provided a very welcoming environment. Highly recommend to give it a try. Remember to try the fish. Sooooo yumyyyyy
