Everything was great and we enjoyed staying in this hotel. We lived in a big comfortable room on the 3rd floor with air conditioner , fridge and a big balcony with amazing view! The owner Buddika was very friendly and helpful. He managed to arrange a great safari for us in Yala national park for next day at a good price even though we arrived late. And safari exceeded our expectations, during exciting trip we watched elephants, crocodiles, varan, peacocks, buffalos, dears and even a leopard very close that is a great luck and also made wonderful pictures. In addition I would like to mention excellent service and hospitality. Buddika picked our luggage up, arranged a dinner for us in the restaurant, presented welcome drinks and always helped to solve all questions.

A secluded space, away from the noise and hustle. This resort has a unique vibe and atmosphere created by its owner Nando. The houses are beautifully decorated, you feel like in the outerworld there! There are a lot of domestic animals running around even some pet monkeys. There is a good place for yoga and meditation on the bank of the river as well. Will deffently come back again!

Awesome stay close to the one entrance to Yala. The owners helped us organize a full day safari with packed breakfast bags and lunch. Very friendly people working here! Rooms are comfortable with nice beds and well working AC. It feels like living in the jungle with monkeys often spotted in the trees around the hotel.

Location was good if you want to be a little outside of the town, quiet with animals and farmers around. The room was nice for the price. Bring your own blanket if you come here though, it was none. Staff and food was great.

Whioe experience is amazing. The facilities are wonderful, very tidy and clean. We visited the spice garden. The staff is incredible. They organized the safari for us, with pickup and dropoff at their hotel. The food is the best we tasted in Sri Lanka. They impressed us with buffalo yogurt and honey for dessert. For finish, they provided us the taxi to our next destination. Highly recommend them.

Enjoyed the stay in our own space! Amazing location with close proximity to all Kataragama main attractions. Situated right across a lake beside the main road. This place had the best spacious & clean rooms with comfortable bedding when it's compared with other options in Kataragama that's going at these similar rates. Managed by a humble local family and they treated us the best way possible. They even offered morning tea/coffee free of charge in the morning & gifted us some yummy mangoes from their own garden as well at our departure.. Got to know that they can arrange a safari as well if required & saw some great experiences shared by the previous gusts as well.. Parking available. Recommending the place to friends, families & couples who are seeking a peaceful stay :)
