Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
Place was run down. Room was dry, stained bed linen, stained metres, dirty toilet. Have seen very little attention to health and safety in rooms (wires were exposed next to the wall mounted fans). We were told that the Kitchen was closed (have however seen some other hotel guests having food in the restaurant)☹️

Great location, clean enough, when we arrived the markets were on across the road which was great. Host was very nice and helpful. Maybe not for everyone but you get what you pay for and we were happy overall.
Chilled place to stay. The Kataragama temple is across the road, literally! If your on pilgrimage this place is excellent.
Super vegetarian food too. Cheap and cheerful.
They have a man Friday called Raju. Ask by name, super helpful.
Our stay was great! The room was clean and comfortable, with good air con. The staff were so helpful and friendly, arranging a morning safari for us at a great price with a breakfast bag included too. Great location near to the national park, would highly recommend!
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.
I highly recommend this place to visit Kiriwehera as a clean and safe place
