Proximity to Yala block 6
Nice pool
Coffee/tea and mini fridge
A/c was good
Some of the meals were very nice
Morning lake (bird watching) raft (not included in tariff)
Property not well maintained
Some items broken (soap dish) or not working at all eg hairdryer, tv and light in bathroom (but the last two were fixed after reporting them)
Curtains dirty.
Isolated location - not the property’s fault and the local town has very little to offer in the way of restaurants and conveniences - there is a bottle shop, though!
Food was hit and miss - one dinner was fantastic and the next was inadequate.
Service is uneven - the staff were friendly but intrusive.
The shower ran intermittently but then stopped altogether 😱

Wow, I wish we could have stayed longer!! Thank you so very much for making us feel like old friends as soon as we arrived at your little piece of paradise. From the service, rooms, pool, and facilities, everything was just perfect, and our children loved the games on offer in the main entrance. It is a perfect location to the national park and offers everything and more that you need, including delicious meals within their restaurant.
A special mention to Anne, who was so very helpful helping recommend a safari driver for us and then the morning of our safari packing a delicious packed breakfast for us with tea and coffee on our return.
Thanks, team Tranquil, for making us feel so very welcome and making us have wonderful memories of our stay in Yala.

The staff is wonderful. During our entire trip through Sri Lanka we haven't met any nicer people than here. Moreover, the food they offer you will not only fulfill your taste buds, it will also fill you for days to come. Lastly, they are in a brilliant location to provide safaris to Yala and are great at finding animals and explaining around the whole ecosystem.

Localisation idéale pour le safari dans le bloc VI du parc Yala.
Hôtel mal entretenu, pas propre et qui semble être laissé à l’abandon.
Les chiens dormaient sur les transats autour de la piscine.
Le nettoyage de la chambre ne semblait pas avoir été réalisé.

We arrived at the property later than expected but Anne was very welcoming and accommodating. The room was very clean and all the amenities required were available. Special mention for the mild clove scent in the room.

Nous avons adoré le séjour chez Anne!! C’était justement PARFAIT! La chambre, la literie, le petit déjeuner, la cuisine, l’ambiance, la piscine, l’accueil, l’endroit. Anne prend vraiment soin de ces clients! Allez y! On peut recommander le Tranquil Wild les yeux fermés!!
Merci encore Anne pour tout!!! Juste pour cet endroit, on reviendrait à Sri Lanka!
(Une recommandation à part: Laissez vous surprendre de la beauté et richesse du parc national Lunugamvehera qui est à 5mn! On avait fait la safari là, parfaitement organisé par Anne et des Éléphants etc. étaient bien au rendez-vous ! Surtout- on était les seul!)

La gentillesse de Anne, le tour en pirogue sur le lac proposé gratuitement par l’hôtel.
Les chiens errants qui viennent boire et faire leur besoins dans la piscine… la propreté des chambres et du restaurant est à revoir, je ne parle pas du bureau de la réception qui est pire… Rapport qualité prix non correcte, nous avons fait des séjours au même prix dans des endroits bien supérieurs… déçus.

Paradis i jungelen! Unike mennesker som driver stedet, du blir møtt med hjertevarme og får en følelse av å komme hjem. Å sitte i hagen og nyte utsikt av påfugler, apekatter og masse andre dyrelyder var nydelig og gav sjelefred.
Kort vei til Yala nasjonalpark, personalet ordnet med safari i en del av parken hvor det ikke var for mange jeeper. Fikk observere elefanter, krokodiller og mange andre dyr.

Die Unterkunft liegt perfekt für einen Besuch auf der Safari :)
Die Unterkunft ist sauber, die Zimmer entsprechen dem europäischen Standard. Sehr bequeme Betten und modern. Für eine Abkühlung dienst der Pool, der jeden Morgen von einem Mitarbeiter gesäubert wird.
Die Chefin und das ganze Team sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Auf der Anlage kann man gelegentlich Affen in den Bäumen beobachten.
Am Abend gab es ein sehr feines regionales Buffet. Mit verschiedenen Speisen, um den Touristen das Land kulinarisch näher zu bringen.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, wir würden sofort wieder kommen! Großes Lob an das ganze Team!

Although we arrived late, the staff prepared us dinner which was delicious... If you're staying at Tranquil Wild be sure to try the lake fish.
We did the village tour in the morning and went there with a tractor which added to the fun. We had some coffee and helapa (something else that you should try) in the rice paddy fields.... We're glad we stayed the morning to experience the village before we took of to our next destination.
Tranquil Wild arranges safaris to Lunugamvehera National Park which is another activity that you can do while staying here. Overall, Tranquil Wild is quite relaxing and an ideal place to disconnect from the rest of the world.
Would be nice to have bicycles if someone wants to ride around the village.. also the toilets need some maintenance and better cleaning.

Das Tranquil Wild liegt sehr abgelegen an einem See, an dem morgens eine Wasserbüffelherde vorbei zieht und Affen zum Frühstücken vorbei kommen. Es eignet sich ideal als Ausgangspunkt für eine Safari in den Lunugamvehera National Park (Yala Block VI). Dieser Teil des National Parks ist deutlich weniger frequentiert - wir waren der einzige Jeep und konnten ungestört die Natur genießen und eine Elefantenherde beim Fressen am Wasser beobachten. Im Zimmer hatten wir sehr warmes Wasser und das angebotene Essen war ebenfalls sehr gut. Amal hat unseren Aufenthalt zudem zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Zu meinem Geburtstag hat er einen Kuchen organisiert und uns als unser Fahrer ausfiel kurzerhand selbst bis nach Unawatuna gefahren. Ganz lieben Dank für diesen außergewöhnlichen Service! 💚
Das Anwesen ist sehr groß und bietet neben einem Pool viele Rückzugsmöglichkeiten, könnte aber ein wenig mehr Pflege gebrauchen. Bei den warmen Temperaturen wäre eine tägliche Zimmerreinigung wünschenswert, aber dies ist auf Anfrage sicherlich möglich.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel, the staff is amazing, Amal is a great cook and a lovely human being who even took us to the hospital when we needed. I recommend the lake fish and the vegetable omelet in the morning! And please don’t miss the night boat tour, it’s a gem

Everything exceeded my expectations from the moment I walked through the front gates to the minute I stepped out. Amal greeted us with a delicious welcome drink and showed us around to our rooms and the outside area. He arranged a safari for us even though we didn’t have much time left of the day and catered to our every request. We got the most amazing hotel food we’ve had our whole duration in Sri Lanka -especially the rice and curry we had for dinner was exceptional!! The rooms were so comfortable (had a great sleep that night) and the bathrooms were clean. The place has lots of wildlife -we saw many birds, buffalo’s and there’s a few friendly dogs on the property as well. Would definitely recommend and visit again, thanks so much to Hazel as well for making our stay so memorable!

Breakfast was good, staff was extremely friendly and helpful, they organized a driver to NP and a Guide with Car, also a driver to next destination for fair prise!
We had a room upgrade, best room during our 2weeks Sri Lanka, first accommodation with decent shower!! The pool was great with view of the herd of buffaloes at the waterhole.
Little tiny flies everywhere outside, flying around your face was really annoying
Not much to do around

Breakfast was an English cooked breakfast and very welcome after an early morning safari
Lovely location with a lovely walkway.

Swimming pool cloudy so didn’t feel comfortable to use

The hostess Anne was just fabulous. The staff was courteous and accommodating. The place is family friendly. The food was great. For breakfast you can choose between Srilankan and English. Reminds you of good quality home-style honest cooking with soul. All in all, a fabulous experience right in the middle of the wild.
