The property was beautiful, the people who worked there helpful and attentive, and the owners wonderful. They booked a safari for me, and the dinner was very good. It is remote, but that is what I was looking for. Serenity and beautiful views

Well, I liked almost all of the said facilities and we were on a pilgrimage and the stay was for a single night. We got all what we expected and the clean and dry toilet/ bathroom was excepcional. We all agreed on that. I recoment the property to any group who seeks basic amaneties for a calm pilgrimage.

Awesome cabins!! You can tell, Fernando put so much thought and work in it! Sitting together, playing drums every evening and connect with people is something we really have missed during our Sri Lanka stay everywhere else. The community is great and very welcoming. We’ll come again!

We had a fantastic stay, with our Family. Every detail this place is so well thought out not only functionally but also aesthetically. Such beautiful Old traditional Clay rooms and surroundings. The staff is super friendly and helpful and what was also super appreciated was that everything is included. We had 3 delicious meals served, plenty of drinks and the safari experience was amazing. We saw Elephant, leopards, crocodiles, bear and many other wild animals. If you are going to Yala National Park this must be the place to stay - we are quite sure that no other places beat this.

Katagamuwa Rest is a great place to stay—calm, clean, and definitely high value for the money. The host, Asanka, is very friendly and polite, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the added kitchen facility was very convenient.

    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.
