🌾 Warm Hospitality Like No Other! I’ve rarely been welcomed so warmly in a hotel — from the moment we arrived at Farm Villa Resort, we felt right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making our stay truly special. 🛏️ Comfort Meets Elegance Our room was spacious with exquisite linen and spotless amenities. We enjoyed a delicious and generous breakfast that set the tone for each day. 📍 Perfect Location Located close to Kataragama Devalaya and Kiri Vehera, it’s ideal for pilgrims and explorers alike. A short drive took us to the Yala Sanctuary and the sacred Situlpawwa Rock Temple. 🦁 Yala Safari Adventure The team helped us arrange an unforgettable Yala Safari tour, where we spotted wild elephants, leopards, and colorful birdlife — a highlight of our trip! 🌅 Evening Paddy Walk & Nature Bliss Our evenings were magical — a walk through the golden paddy fields, listening to tranquil nature sounds under a glowing sky. Pure serenity. 💚 Without a doubt, if I visit Kataragama again, Farm Villa Resort will be my #1 choice. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, comfort, and adventure!

    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.

    I spent two nights at the Lavendish Tamarind Lifestyle hotel with my entire family. The hotel room is roomy and includes amenities such as swimming pools. The breakfast is excellent, offering a wide range of food options. Dulanjalee from the restaurant was exceptionally helpful. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the cleaning crew is diligent. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a tranquil stay near the Kataragama temple.

    Plesant stay at Kataragama .. Centrally Located , Clean and Spacious rooms and excellent customer service.. The Kataragama temple is few hundred meters away from the hotel and walkable while the Sella Kataragama is 10 mins drive away from the hotel. The care Taker Raju, really helped us and was willing to go the extra mile to meet the customer needs. Really enjoyed our stay and will highly recommend the hotels for families visiting Kataragama.
