⭐ An Unforgettable Stay at Farm Villa Resort! ⭐ I stayed at Farm Villa Resort for 3 nights and had a truly fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with fresh green coconuts – such a refreshing touch that set the tone for a relaxing getaway. 🌴 The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, always attentive and ready to help, which made us feel right at home. The rooms were very clean, and the overall environment was peaceful and well-maintained. The location is ideal, surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking beautiful paddy fields. The natural sounds of birds and wind made the stay even more soothing. 🐦🌾 One of the highlights was the huge swimming pool – perfect for cooling off and enjoying the tranquil surroundings. A special shoutout to Chef Appu, who served up the most delicious Sri Lankan rice and curry – full of authentic flavor and made with love! 🍛 The breakfasts were big and tasty, and every meal during our stay was exceptional – both in variety and quality. Definitely value for money! We also did a half-day Yala Safari, which was very well arranged and added a real adventure to our trip. 🐘🦚 Overall, this was a wonderful and memorable experience. I highly recommend Farm Villa Resort to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a nature-filled escape in Kataragama. 💚

    Kataragama itself is a temple town and that’s pretty much it. Other than that it’s a jumping off point for safari in yala and kumana. One day is more than enough for cultural/religious aspects. The Perahara (pageant) in July is fantastic. Be warned that it may not start till midnight and may need pre booked tickets. Also watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas around this time. The country side and the rural life as well as the wildlife is fantastic and authentic. Quite hot and sunny year round but dec to feb is more comfortable.

    I thought it was a different place to go for Safari. But, almost all vehicles come from Tissa for Safari pickup so it doesn't really matter if you book a room in Tissa or Katharagama for the Safari.

    Even though it is a religious hub that connects all the religions to a one place, I enjoyed the YALA Safari very much. Spotted all most all the animals from water birds to hundreds of peacocks, from mongoose to leopard and elephants.

    Could not see Perahara, we could not stay after 11.30pm.

    Could not see Perahara, we could not stay after 11.30pm. If our Hotel room was close Temple we would have come in time of Perahera. Could not enjoyed the journey, very disappointing since the Room was 2Km away from Kataragama Town and temple , no access to outside choice food , had to starve until we reached KataragamaTown. Food and items were sold at uncontrollerable price. For example-Perera and Sons - selling prices below Fish rolls- 150 Fried Rice - 750/- quantity very less than side plate and a small drum stick piece chicken with least flesh. Nestea - Rs 120/= Lunch - Rs 520/= very very small quantity. All bills are available with me as proof if necessary. Surprisingly to know a very reputed food caterers such as PERERA And Sons exploiting selling least quantity food at exorbitant prices compared to Colombo prices to Temple Pilgrims visitors, striving to exist due to economic crisis with no though and concerned to the Poor and needy. At a Pilgrimage area, such as Kataragama, the business rich, could have treated the mo have visitors in a compromise way, selling at reasonably low price or served as Dansal. Their were visitor sharing an incompletely served fried rice plate some were begging at the entrance. This is the way GOD FEARING PEOPLE behave in business concerns at Festival period . GOVMT need to do something valuable to address the needs of the Pilgrim visitors comming from all ends of the country Sri Lanka. Could not fulfill the needs we went to Kataragama due exorbitant accommodation and food price.

    We spend 2 nights in this very special hotel. The host is charismatic persone, it was a big pleasure to speak with him. He build the rooms around a three - the fantastic artwork. The hotel is close to the Yale park, many animals come but it is safe and quiet. The food was beter than excellent. The host organized for us 5 hrs safari in Yale park. One evening he showed us the prayers in Kateragama temples - fantastic. Last day he drove us to the bus station free of charge. We strongly recommend this hotel.

    The manager of the the hotel Inbaraj was great! He made sure we had everything we needed and together with his team, he provided a great experience - from the cinnamon plantation tour to sri lankan food we had not tried before the whole team did their best. The manager also organized a great safari trip to Yala national park. The room was very big and clean. The hotel is surrounded by rice fields and nature.
