Jetwing Kaduruketha
"This hotel is amazing! We loved it, the only thing to note is that it’s quite a journey from Ella (around 45 mins). I would suggest staying at Ella for 1 night or so and experiencing that, then visiting and unwinding here. The staff, food and room were all fantastic."
Kynrock Hotels & Resorts
"We had a wonderful time at this lovely hotel in Kataragama! The rooms facing the paddy field were absolutely stunning. The staff's warm welcome from the moment we arrived set the tone for a fantastic stay. They were incredibly flexible with our requests. Throughout our stay, every single staff member was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel at home. The food was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay in Kataragama."
Hotel Elaine
"Wonderful stay. Highly Recommended Value for money Clean and clam I ll going back again . Food was great and they have a good range of foods in the menu"
Grand Tamarind Lake
"Stay at this Hotel at your own risk, while accommodation was ok with all the ammenites like safe & wifi connection, clean & serviced thoroughly the food was awful and the resturant staff rude and disinterested in anything remotely resembling service, unless you were Indian. The location was certainly ok and we managed some lovely works outside the Hotel grounds. Pool area was fine but the pool itself was encrusted with dirt about 2ft below the waterline. In all with a good clean and some staff training this could once again be a lovely place to stay. We are surprised at the 4 star rating. In our view this Hotel should rate as three stars."
Kalu's Hideaway Udawalawe
"We stayed here for 2 nights during our wonderful tour of Sri Lanka. We had a very warm welcome,with a tradition of guests lighting a brass tower with the national bird on top which was a bit of fun for us tourists. We had kind and thoughtful service from Chamaga, Thushara and Ranidu throughout our visit,from delivering an iron to our room to serving us breakfast,beers at the pool and our evening meal after an afternoon of safari. We are delighted to say we actually met Kalu himself! Better known as Sri Lanka’s national treasure cricketer Romesh Kaluwitharana! My husband and I have not been cricket fans,however his beautiful collection of memorabilia was awesome,fully on display to any guest.He was also kind enough to show his vegetable garden and butterfly garden to us personally. All vegetable from the garden are used in the hotels menu. Chef Jayahal needs a special mention, he makes all items in the menu from British,American, oriental and Sri Lankan Dishes. All made fresh with lots of organic ingredients from the garden.The versatility of this chef is unbelievable,as they taste authentic, REALLY.We tried club sandwich, oriental noodles and the spring rolls were the best I’ve ever had, even in China! His omelettes were perfect for the English visitor and the Sri Lankan curry/ multiple side dishes are a must for any traveller.My husband said it was the best prawn cocktail he had ever tasted! Bravo Jayalal 👏🏼"
Gal Oya Heritage Retreat
"A boutique new hotel with natural-style rooms, very original and simple. Beautiful. The food was excellent. The service was excellent, and everyone was friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the bushwalk, boat safari, and jeep safari. We saw a huge herd of elephants, crocodiles, birds, and many other creatures. Our guide, Anuradha, was fantastic, spoke very good English, and had a wealth of knowledge about nature. We will remember this stay with gratitude."
Hantara Udawalawa
"Very quaint and secluded property very close to the safari park. Individual cabins were very spacious, great AC, private porch for sitting and the outdoor shower and bathroom was very cool! The staff were very friendly and accommodating as well. There is not much to do out in the wilderness but after a no day of safari it was nice to go to Hantara to relax."
Mandara Rosen Yala, Kataragama
"Whilst I’ve stayed at Mandara Rosen many times, I’ve honestly never taken the time to write a review. But this time, something felt different — and I thought it was time to finally pen my two cents. In the past, my experiences have always been lovely. The staff have been helpful, the rooms clean and well-kept, and the atmosphere calming — a perfect space to unwind after a day in Kataragama. The pool has always been a personal highlight, especially after being out in the hot sun during religious observances. It’s been a place I’ve recommended without hesitation. The food, too, has never disappointed. I remember the buffet spreads — generous, delicious, and satisfying in every sense. Something for everyone, and nothing to complain about. This time, however, was a shorter visit. I was in Kataragama briefly, with two things planned — lunch at the hotel, and arrangements for a day room so those of us traveling (a group of five) could freshen up before heading back to Colombo. I had called ahead and was informed that a day room would be provided for Rs. 15,000, which I agreed to. But once at the hotel, that offer was off the table. Instead, I was told I’d need to take two rooms — totaling Rs. 30,000 — just for a quick change and refresh. That felt unreasonable. In today’s context, where most travelers aren’t staying overnight and hotels are struggling to fill rooms, this seemed like a short-sighted way to recover costs — at the guest’s expense. I did have lunch at the restaurant, and once again the food was fantastic. Though it was à la carte this time (understandable given low occupancy), it was still flavorful and well prepared. The restaurant staff were kind and welcoming, and I appreciated their service. In the end, I went to another hotel that offered a day room at nearly one-fifth the price. A hotel of similar standard was also willing to offer one room at the same rate of Rs. 15,000, as initially promised here. Unfortunately, the only reason I didn’t go there was the distance — otherwise I would have. What saddens me is that instead of gaining business, Mandara Rosen lost it that day. All for the sake of an extra room rate. And that’s the only reason I’m giving this a 4-star rating — not for the hospitality, the setting, or the food, which remain excellent — but because it felt like the focus shifted from understanding the guest to maximizing the margin."
Mahoora - Udawalawe by Eco Team
"Highly recommended We spent two nights at Mahoora Tented Safari with a private tour guide. Solomon, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about nature and wildlife. Despite it being monsoon season, we were very lucky and got to see not only lots of animals but also elephants and babies. However, this should not be taken as a reflection on the quality of Mahoora Camp. The staff were extremely helpful and the food was excellent. We enjoyed every moment."

"The bathroom is not separated from wet and dry, you get what you pay for"
Funky Leopard Safari Lodge Bordering Yala National Park
"Located between Karatagama town and Yala National Park Karatagama gate, much quieter than other park gates. Essentially equipped room, clean and well maintained swimming pool. Breakfast and Dinner is decent and properly prepared. Staff is friendly and helpful."
Funky Leopard Safari Lodge Bordering Yala National Park
"We stayed one night, the operators that helped carrying the luggages are nice, but it is the only thing in this place. We requested a twin bed room and it was a double bedroom. After one hour talking about the difference between two beds and one double-bed io lo room, after showing them the pics published on line that the room had to be with 2 separated beds, the offered a hostel room with mould inside next to the AC! We asked for an immediate refund, but they refused and, always after one hour, they called a lady to separate the beds and put the right bedsheets in the same room of the beginning!!!…So it was only a problem to change the bed sheets and we argued and got angry for an unuseful hour. It is not finished! We booked a private safari tour with a private guide. At 05:15 am of the day after, 15 minutes before the departure , the operator guide came and said we had a sharing safari tour with another couple and no guide. When he saw that we were extremely disappointed, the guy asked if we booked for a private tour…He had no idea of the service we requested! When we came back from the shared Safari the receptionist, a gentleman with mustaches, did not trust us, we had a private safari tour with a private guide. We got really upset because we paid $40 more per person and we did not received what we asked. They did not care about this inconvenient and did not offer us any refund as an apology. We do not recommend this structure as they seemed to be cheaters and disorganized."
Jungle Paradise
"ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. This is the best place I have ever stayed. And I travel a lot. We stayed in villa 5 and it was exceptional. Very comfortable and clean. The food was amazing.

The location we right on a stunning jungle. I did not want to leave. Absolutely faultless stay. Would reccomend! 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "
Centauria Wild
"A lovely stay at this lovely hotel. Old style charm and wonderful srilankan hospitality. Immaculately clean with huge bedrooms and shower. Such friendly, polite and accommodating staff. Lovely menu with local and international food and nothing was too much of an ask in accommodating our palette and requests. Amazing service! Gorgeous grounds and gardens with amazing views to the lake and mountains beyond with beautiful birds and butterlies. A fabulous pool and slide for an excited child! A small hotel wiith tradition and authentic srilankan culture. Please visit them and experience with peace and tranquility and all the lovely things offered. Its not modern but thats thr charm for us. Ideal base for our safari only 5 mins away. So many members of staff and managers to mention who work round the clock. Highly recommend."

Ali Weta Safari Resort
"Very nice, very clean, very new, very friendly people and good Food. This is the Place where you want to stay After and before the Safari. Even we stayed a whole day longer just for relaxing and hanging out at the Pool. I can recommend this place and they are helpful. Manager speaks Perfect english,"
Mailagama Cinnamon Residence
"Visit was with my wife and my 6y old kid. It’s close to katharagama kiriwehara and the kovila. and it’s in the center between katharagama dewalaya and wedasitikanda. So either way is the best spot for both location visitors. Room is specious,super clean & cozy. noticed that the management concentrated even for small necessary details should include. We had Our dinner and Breakfast at an outstanding location, it was very simple and delicious. hats off to the chef and the staff. The Manager Inbaraj and the Staff are very friendly and kind. They have a beautifully maintained paddies and eco garden near the premises maintained under Mr Das expertise hands. Dear Mr Das and Mrs Indira thank you for having us it was one of the loveliest day we spent wish we had more time. Wish you all the very best and good luck.❤️"
Yala Safari Camping
"I was really looking forward to staying near the forest, but I almost didn't sleep a wink and froze to death. The mattress had a huge hole, and there were enormous rats running around everywhere. I was terrified all night. I went out at 2 AM to seek help from the hotel, but no one was there. I was terrified in the forest. It was very cold at night, and there were no blankets. I was so cold that I had to wrap myself in all my clothes. The hotel facilities were like those of a rural guesthouse, only suitable for backpackers, not for inexperienced travelers. It's also far from the city, more suitable for foreigners than Chinese tourists. The night was filled with terror; I spent a night in the rats and freezing cold—a truly unforgettable experience. For this price, this experience is absolutely terrible. One of the worst hotels ever, a very bad experience. A hotel that almost drove me to despair; I barely slept a wink all night."
The Den at Yala
"It was raining, so there were a lot of bugs at night. The host couple and the staff were very attentive and disinfected the room in advance. We arrived in the evening and had dinner on the spur of the moment. They even set up tables and chairs in the room. The breakfast was very rich, and there was a swing that the children loved. There were four defensive puppies who would guard downstairs and would not hurt anyone. It was safe and friendly."
