Mailagama Cinnamon Residence, hotel in Kataragama

Mailagama Cinnamon Residence features free WiFi and views of mountain in Sellakataragama. Featuring a concierge service, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

We like the people, especially the manager Inbaraj, who is a great and kind man. He showed us the cinnamon plantations and explained how everything is used, he was so kind. We liked the dinner, the best chicken curry we tried so far in Sri Lanka, also there was a desert, we liked a lot. The room was clean, sanitized, everything was great, the view from our room was great. Mr. Inbaraj also treat us with the best papaya juice, coffee and the plantation harvests. We are so grateful and happy that we choose this place for our stay in Yala. The place is also near the Yala park, which was great as well.

V Cabanas & Yala Safari Place, hotel in Kataragama

Providing a garden, V Cabanas & Yala Safari Place features accommodations in Tissamaharama. This guest house provides free private parking, a 24-hour front desk, and free Wifi.

The property is a 10 minute walk from town. The staff are friendly. They drove us to the bus stop after our stay and made sure we got on the right bus. We got back from a Yala safari after checkout time so I was expecting to just grab our bags and go but they held off cleaning the bathroom in our room so that we could shower and use it after the safari if we needed. The room was big with AC and a mosquito net.

Tissa Rainbow Guest & Yala, hotel in Kataragama

Providing garden views, Tissa Rainbow Guest & Yala in Tissamaharama provides accommodations and a garden.

All the facilities were as advertised - air con worked well, hot water, mosquito net etc. Few ants wandering around the bathroom hich was no big deal. The place was clean, well managed and most improtantly the safari (full day) was excellent - one of the main reasons we booked here was the reviews on the Yala Safari that they organised. Great restaurant (Smokey Kitchen) about 10-15 minutes walk away.

    Good location to the yala park. Great host who arranged and guided us on an excellent safari trip where we were able to see a leopard and elephants from very closeby. We staid the full afternoon in the park and afterwards enjoyed an excellent dinner prepared by the host en his wife. Highly recommended.

    The host family is very nice. The young daughter speak a very good english and looks eager to train it and talk about their culture and traditions). The food I had was really good and they also greeted me with a fresh welcome juice. They let me help and Watch the dinner making and it was very pleasant. The rooms are big, very clean and Probably recently renewed (the a/c system seemed pretty new). The area is out of the city centre, but it is ist to get there in 20 minutes by walk.

    I loved the authenticity of the place and the people here. Chilled backpacker vibes. Roberto is a great host ensuring a very warm welcome to guests offering tea etc . Loved the rustic architecture , very much in tune to surrounding Nature complimented with the animals on site. Lodge is set by the river so you can go for a dip and cool down. And ample space for you to relax, read and do yoga.

    What a beautiful place! Lovely hosts, great food, such a relaxing vibe. Music in the evening, if you want: playing percussion together. You can book your safari from here, the driver we had was awesome, not rushing through the park, providing us with lots of information about all animals. One of the nicest resorts i have ever been to, defenitely a must see!

    Very kind and helpful family. Super clean and large room with working AC. Located about 15-20 minutes from town by foot. Only few restaurants/eateries around so better to buy food in town before coming to the homestay. The family can provide lunch/dinner upon request: the vegetable curries are very much recommended. Good local breakfast included. Nice view of the lake across the street. The family can help with booking a safari, though I had already made other arrangements.
