The room was clean, big and you have AC. The host is very friendly and he helped us book a safari trip to Yalla National Park, which was amazing. Also, you can see monkeys near the villa and they are not agresive.

Exceptional View, Exceptional food and amazing staff. From the start of the journey they were supportive in finding the location. The location is situated in such a beautiful area that gives the true Sri Lankan taste. Well maintained and clean place. Manager was great all the staff were incredibly friendly and supportive for us. They went beyond for services for the price we paid. My family would visit this place forever. Decided that this is our place of stay for the rest of trips to katharagama

The hosts were very welcoming when I arrived in the night- there was a really nice juice on arrival and the daughter Nithya was helpful in recommending places to visit in Kataragama and in organising a safari in Yala. Meals were great (including take away breakfast during safari), everything was clean and there was AC in the bedroom. There’s also a bicycle to use to get around in. Would highly recommend a night here if you plan to explore Yala national park.
