It’s an excellent location bordering the park in a wilderness setting. Very clean accommodation. Basic but great food. We did a well organised evening safari through them and saw a lot of animals. Overall , excellent value for money property , perhaps the best “value” property we have experienced in Sri Lanka.
Little bit more furniture in the common areas would have been perfect.
7.0
It has a cool vibe and it’s really close to the national park. There is a lot of space around and the staff is really accommodating.
When we were there the hostel was quite empty and it’s in the middle of no where.
6.0
Very inflexible with breakfast options. Had to leave for a safari at 4h45 and requested one of standard breakfast from the menu of $2-$4: wasn't possible to take away, to eat before I left and not even to have it prepared the day before; the only option available was the safari breakfast for $8 and that could be arranged at any time. Kitchen and bathroom were pretty dirty too.

As a woman traveller, my experience with the staff was commendable. They were very kind, helpful, respectful & attentive. I felt very much at ease. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful which came with the package and I took the liberty of ordering lunch and dinner for a very nominal price. Planning to revisit with my family next time. Thank you Funky Leopard for making my stay an exceptional experience!!!

I highly recommend Funky Leopard safari hostel! We had a 1 night stay and we loved it. The environment was really peaceful and very relaxing. The accommodation is basic but very clean, the rooms and the bathroom facilities are well maintained. During our stay, we ordered a few extra meals and the food was delicious. The hospitality of the staff members was amazing. They all were very flexible with our requirements and very friendly. Our highlight was the time spent around the campfire . We would definitely recommend this place and stay here again.

I was warmly welcomed on arrival and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Very clean and nice location and close to the Katagamuwa Yala entrance where we did the safari with ease. Breakfast was delicious. Very much value for money for the price I have paid. I can recommend this to anyone who is looking to explore Yala with a tight budget
For me, everything was perfect

The food was great and the safari was exceptional. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Excellent Wifi Connection. The jeep drivers drove very attentively and showed us every possible animal including tiny birds. The Naturalist we hired for the safari was a great guy and informative. The safari jeep was reasonably priced and had good value for money.

7.1
The hostel itself is really nice: nice rooms with AC, super confortables beds, beautiful bathroom and nice balcony to chill and enjoy the view.
Also excellent food for breakfast and dinner. I recommend this place for people coming around Yala in groups or couple.
A bit far away from town but we knew when we booked.
No towels for rental.
Not that good for solo travelers.
We arrived during low season so no really good services for guests.
A lot of miscommunications with the staff but still will come back.
7.9
Location is good but scary, we were in Mid of a Jungle with no one else in the property except us.
Staff is good but they are not available in this property and stay far away in a camp.
we were supposed to stay for 2 nights but left in 1 night.
