Lodges in Kataragama

An ideal place for those who love nature, peace and quiet. Nearby is a lake where you can see buffalo and all kinds of birds. Very nice place. Very helpful and friendly hosts. Unforgettable safari. I highly recommend.

I have been to Sri Lanka three or four times, and when I come, I mostly stay in places connected with nature. Really, this place is very beautiful, and no matter how hot it was, it didn't feel like it inside this room. Here is a place of amazing beauty combined with a real jungle-like environment. I highly recommend this place to anyone. This is the place that provided the best service at the lowest price among the places I have visited in Sri Lanka. The staff was very close to us and provided good service. I highly recommend it as the only place that gave the best service for the lowest price.

It’s in the middle of nature, very calm and peaceful with only the sound of birds to hear. The best thing was the family. The hostel owner is super nice and helpful with any kind of little problem or question! I would 100% recommend it, I have rarely experienced such kindness without wanting anything in return! Also his little girl is the cutest!!

The room is quite spacious. It's the biggest room we've stayed in the whole Sri Lanka trip. The staff were very friendly. They helped us to prepare the other morning's breakfast package for the Safari tour. We left for the Safari at 5:30a, our breakfast had been there ready. It's at the end of a small village road, and there's a pond in front of the hotel. It's quiet.

Very nice and equipped tents! One of the best showers in Sri Lanka. We felt like close to the nature. The beds were very comfortable. The food was super delicious and the Safari that we booked with them was very nice. We asked them to leave 30minutes earlier and they managed to do so. Our Safari guide Oshan was very nice and put a lot of effort into our experience and showed a lot of different animals.

Our three-night stay at Koragaha Lodge, the hidden gem of Yala, was nothing short of enchanting. As a young couple on a quest to explore Sri Lanka's big five at Yala National Park, we found the perfect haven that seamlessly combines rural charm with modern comforts. The rooms at Koragaha Lodge are spacious, clean, and adorned with authentic Sri Lankan touches, offering a cozy retreat after each day's adventures. The outdoor terrace, a hidden gem in itself, provided a perfect spot to unwind and connect with nature. The hotel's amenities, both indoors and outdoors, are superb, catering to every traveler's needs. The on-site restaurant and pool added to the overall charm of the place. What sets Koragaha Lodge apart is its commitment to authentic experiences. Under Damien's guidance, a knowledgeable staff member, we embarked on a thrilling safari at Yala National Park. The hotel also organized a pottery session at a local's home, a cooking class for traditional Sri Lankan cuisine, and a relaxing massage session. However, the true highlight of our stay was the exceptional staff. Praveen, the general manager, and the entire team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Instances like arranging unexpected laundry services and personally driving us to a distant restaurant showcased their unparalleled dedication. In conclusion, Koragaha Lodge is a rare find that delivers a captivating blend of comfort, authenticity, and unparalleled service. For those seeking a memorable escape in the heart of Yala, this boutique retreat truly stands out as an epitome of excellence.

The room was very clean and big, with AC. Near to Yala national park. Very quiet at night, with a nice atmosphere and good options to have dinner by walk. The host, Malinga, was very kind: ready to counsel us and take us to great places. He offers a taxi service, so is a good option to go there from your previous location or go with him to your next destination in your trip.

Everything was perfect. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I definitely recommend them to cook to u, they make delicious food, I thank them again and again, I’m glad we stayed with u 🥰🙏🏼

Fabulous luxury lodges with very large covered decks set in a very peaceful rural setting close to Yala and close to the beach. A very calming, tranquil place to stay. The bed is huge and extremely comfortable.. The bathroom is as large as many hotel rooms in itself and the additional outside cold shower is a very unusual touch. (And the indoor shower is excellent, too.) The lodges are arranged to enhance privacy and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The roof top swimming pool has a beautiful view over the sea and the food is excellent. Monkeys sometimes visit the grounds, as do a few cows and even occasionally an elephant - though not when we were there. A wide variety of birds surround you in the trees. The manager arranged an excellent half day safari to Yala for us with a very knowledgeable guide.

Relaxed place to stay , comfortable bed , big size room with a divider glass in the shower to not wet the toilet .
