Jetwing Kaduruketha
9.5 (68 reviews)

Jetwing Kaduruketha ★★★★★

📍 Wellawaya, Moneragala

"As with all the Jetwings we stayed at in Sri Lanka, the service was excellent and attentive. We enjoyed the food, the pool, and the massages in the spa were amazing. Thank you!"

Gal Oya Lodge
9.5 (41 reviews)

Gal Oya Lodge ★★★★

📍 893M+3P, Moneragala

"We stayed in the Villa as group of 4 friends and it was perfect. Great privacy and a lovely plunge pool to cool off during the heat of the day. Worth noting one room has a large double bed and the other two singles, but the staff (who were amazing btw) added an extra single bed for us. Unfortunately we only stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed the villa so much we only did one main activity, the boat safari which was really unique. Loved “bird island”!! We also did an evening walk to the small lake close by for a sundowner which was a lot of fun too! The food was good and the main lodge in the evening was buzzing which made for a great atmosphere. There were a few families staying at the same time who also seemed to be having a great time so the place definitely has a mix of guests staying. Big thumbs up from us."

Kynrock Hotels & Resorts
8.7 (25 reviews)

Kynrock Hotels & Resorts ★★★★★

📍 Paranakanda road, Arama Patumaga, Kataragama

"My wife & I stayed at the Kynrock Hotel & Resorts in Kataragama on 14th February during our bi-annual visit to Kataragama. We had a wonderful time at this lovely hotel, Kynrook in Kataragama. I was told that the hotel had started during August 2025. When you entered the hotel, it looks like a classical American hotel. When you enter first you will see classic swimming pool. We came on time and the staff's warm welcome made us feel at home. The room was ready when we arrived. We were on the 3rd floor, and the room is fairly larger than I expected. Rooms were clean, spacious, and had lot of space. It has all the amenities we needed. There are plenty of plug points in the room which would be useful for different work simultaneously. I was highly impressed with architectural design of the room. The price is very reasonable. The rooms facing a large paddy field were very beautiful and the lobby for each room is facing the paddy field. The room service was excellent. The food was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay in Kataragama. When I go to Kataragam next, I will never stay at any other hotel other than Kynrock. Prof. Sarath Peiris"

Grand Tamarind Lake

Grand Tamarind Lake ★★★★

📍 Kandasuridugama Raja Mawatha, Kataragama

"This hotel was absolutely incredible! The view of the lake was breathtaking, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. They made sure our rooms were clean and neat, which was perfect since we were only there for a night. It was such a lovely place, and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!"

Jungle Paradise
9.5 (41 reviews)

Jungle Paradise ★★★

📍 Walawegama Road 2066 1/2, Ekamuthugama, Usweliara, Moneragala

"Hotel Jungle Paradise is a beautiful hotel set in a stunning environment. Our room was in a separate cottage, where we had a large bathroom, beds with mosquito nets, and a terrace with seating. The hotel offers an outdoor pool and a restaurant that serves espresso. Its location in nature provides perfect tranquility for rest and relaxation. An added advantage is its proximity to Udawalawa National Park."

Wild Glamping Gal Oya - Thema Collection
9.4 (43 reviews)

Wild Glamping Gal Oya - Thema Collection ★★★

📍 Wild Glamping Gal Oya, Rathugala Rathugala/Wellassa/Galgamuwa/Iginiyagala, Moneragala

"Fabulous, calm, eco-friendly place. The 'tents' are under permanent shelters with shower rooms and AC. Food is grown on site and the meals are amazing, especially the fish curry. We got up early for a 90 minute tour of the ground spotting birds and butterflies with the naturalist guide who was very knowledgeable. Incredible boat ride on the reservoir to see stunning birds and a swimming wild elephant, with snacks and tea provided by the hotel. We were only there for 1 night but it was unforgettable."

Centauria Wild
8.7 (56 reviews)

Centauria Wild ★★★★

📍 CVP5+WQJ, Katupilagama, Moneragala

"Clean, large and spacious room with bathroom. Large swimming pool with a slide. Hotel staff is helpful and friendly. Only negative experience in meals. Meals were not yummy."

Mandara Rosen Yala, Kataragama
7.8 (48 reviews)

Mandara Rosen Yala, Kataragama ★★★★

📍 Mandara Rosen, No.57, Detagamuwa, Kataragama

"We stayed there for one night 2nd - 3rd Feb. Room is spacious but not as clean as expected for a Mandara standard. It was just ok. The staff are very helpful & friendly. The dinner buffet was also so so. Nothing great. Buffet breakfast spread is good."

Big Game - Yala By Eco Team
8.2 (89 reviews)

Big Game - Yala By Eco Team ★★★

📍 Yala National Park, Moneragala

"It was a magical travel experience. It was nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the campsite. The jeep was bumpy for more than ten minutes and I almost felt sold. After arriving, I discovered a new world. In addition, we didn't eat. Although the taste of BBQ was average, When you are eating, you will be accompanied by many small animals when you lower your head. When you raise your head, you will see the starry sky, which is very atmospheric."

Leopard Safaris Yala Hotels in Moneragala

Leopard Safaris Yala

"This is a lovely lodge where you stay in tented accomodation. The camp has a real safari feel to it. The food was really good and all meals and drinks are included. Also included is an afternoon and morning drive for each night that you stay. The Yala National Park is split into two blocks as far as the safari from this camp is concerned. While the camp is close to the park one of the blocks is a bit of a drive from the camp, the other is much closer. The closer one is a nicer and quieter. You will probably get chance to do both blocks. This is not Africa but you will see lots of elephants, monkeys, mongoose, deer, birds and crocodiles. Sadly we did not see any leopards or sloth bears. All meals are taken outside (weather permitting) and it is very atmospheric at night. We had a really good BBQ one night. They set the tables up in different spots around the camp which is nice. The bar is open before dinner but closes early so it is off to bed once dinner is finished. Meals are at set times and everyone eats together so it is very sociable. The tented rooms are great and have everything you need. The bathroom has an outside shower. There is also a small pool to relax around. We stayed for 2 nights which I would recommend as if you only stay one night it can be a bit of a rush and you do not get much time in the camp. Some other guests who only stayed for one night commented on this. However 2 nights is probably just about the right of time. Would recommend."

"We are a family of 4 adults and stayed here for one night having travelled down rom Ella. We loved it and really appreciated the swimming pool to cool down. This is brilliant value, close to the park entrance, tastefully decorated, great food and helpful staff who organised the safari for us. Would recommend."

Governor's Camp Udawalawe Hotels in Moneragala

Governor's Camp Udawalawe

"There’s something truly special about kayaking on the lake at Governor's Camp Udawalawe as the sun goes down. The water is so calm, and the sky fills with stunning colors, creating this peaceful atmosphere where it feels like the world slows down just for me. Gliding across the lake, I felt a deep connection to nature, totally immersed in the moment. And the experience doesn’t stop there—the food here is amazing! Every meal is packed with authentic Sri Lankan flavors that fit perfectly with the wilderness vibe. The staff are so friendly and attentive, making me feel completely at home. From sunset kayaking to delicious meals and the warm hospitality, my time at Governor's Camp Udawalawe was unforgettable."

Lavendish Okrin Hotel Hotels in Moneragala

Lavendish Okrin Hotel

"Peaceful location and outstanding service. We booked two double rooms but were thoughtfully upgraded to spacious family rooms to accommodate a large arriving group — and we were never disturbed. Each room was large, spotless, and comfortable, with two double beds and an efficient AC. We were also granted an early check-in even though official time is 14:00. We requested vegetarian rice-and-curry for lunch since we were visiting the Kataragama Maha Devalaya in te evening — the meal was wholesome, home-cooked and delicious. Lunch was à la carte; breakfast and dinner were buffet-style and well presented. Driver quarters are available (first-come, first-served). The staff were friendly and courteous throughout. Special thanks to Ms. Anusha in the restaurant for her helpful, refreshingly positive attitude. Overall — a very pleasant stay; highly recommended."

"I’m really glad I came to Mahorra Safari Camp, I love the setting and the feel of being in the country but with luxury. The staff are very attentive and kind, food is excellent and the nature walks have been great. Solomons is a fantastic nature guide, it was great going into the local park where I was shown a great range of birdlife as well as elephant and deer. A great experience! Thank you Solomons and everyone at the camp."

Ella Nine Peaks Hotels in Moneragala

Ella Nine Peaks

"For starters, it's nowhere near ella , ella or the nearest town, which is wallawaya, is a good half-hour to 45-min drive . If you have your vehicle, it's fine... if not, there isn't anything close by , absolutely nothing . The property is nice , rooms are good, air-conditioning was not great , not maintained, I guess ... overall location is good. However service sucks big time, with inedible food that is dished out with arrogance , take it or leave it attitude, the person who called him self the chef doubles as a room cleaner, pool cleaner, and makes him self too comfortable, randomly comes in and sits on the sofa etc.. This person does not know how to cook. We were served watery bbq meat, cold sausages for breakfast , and absolute garbage ! Sadly, there isn't anything around the corner, even if you're hungry. Left frustrated and hungry with kids ! There are 3 staff members to manage two properties in the same compound . Basics like cutlery always locked up , each time we requested something there were always reasons given . the two ladies tried their best to fulfil , but sadly, service and food way below par. Dont be fooled by the extensive menu online - for the same to be cooked by a so-called chef who doesn't know the difference between a potatoe or an onion Linen , towels not changed either for a 2 night 3 day stay . No privacy , there is always somebody watching you on the camera's"

Jetwing Kaduruketha ★★★★★
"We had a calm and pleasant stay at Jetwing Kaduruketha. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Deshan, the butler assigned to us was very supportive and attentive to all our needs. We enjoyed the views of the paddy fields and the mountains. It was a great village experience to our 4yrs old son. He had the chance to experience some village toys/games, see a tree house, a river, paddy fields, a farm, scarecrows etc. Overall it was a very good stay for us."

Gal Oya Lodge ★★★★
"07/04/2026 (04th of July 2026) We had the best experience here at Galoya Lodge. Loved the greenary, wildlife, the plentiful food and the very friendly and knowledegable staff. Your Manager was so good, he knew everything about the animals and vegetation here. We did enjoy having early morning walks to the closest Rathugama (?) Wewa where I was able to experience the most enchanting, calm and quiet village life with cattle, water birds, lotuses in the wewa (tank). We thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride at Senanayake Samudraya. It was such a lovely experience having got the chance to watch many wild elephants, water bird habitats & beautiful sunsets! We would definitely share this lovely experience with our family & friends and encourage them to visit this beautiful place.

"We stayed here only for one night. Our welcome was fabulous - cold Towels and a lovely drink after a long journey. Gernot was very helpful with everything we needed, organising our jeep to the safari the next morning, and our dinner for that night. The whole place was very clean, and everyone very friendly. We highly recommend a stay here to feel right in the jungle and immerse yourself!"

Centauria Wild ★★★★
"We had a short but enjoyable stay at the Centauria Wild Resort and had a wonderful lakeside view. The hotel is ideally positioned for Jeep Safari in Udawalawe National Park and to visit the Elephant Transit home. We really enjoyed the buffet breakfast which offered lots of choices. The Service was excellent. Staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. A Special mention to our cheerful barman Lalitha who served our drinks and the hotel manager Damitha who sorted out a late checkout for us."
