Perfect base for relaxation & tranquility prior yo a safari trip. The hosts & staff were unbelievably welcoming,friendly and went above & beyond to make our stay memorable, sadly it vwas only for one night. The setting is truly beautiful, the spice trail set in the grounds & visit to their cinnamon farm is a must. The hosts shared their knowledge & passion throughout . Dinner and lunch were plentiful, delicious,authentic freshly cooked Sri Lankan cuisine. We dined outside the beautiful surroundings of palm trees & lush countryside The bedrooms were well air conditioned & beds really comfortable. We travelled with teenagers & their needs were totally met & all slept like logs. The hosts organised our 5.30am safari & provided a lovely packed breakfast for us to take.

Enjoyed the stay in our own space! Amazing location with close proximity to all Kataragama main attractions. Situated right across a lake beside the main road. This place had the best spacious & clean rooms with comfortable bedding when it's compared with other options in Kataragama that's going at these similar rates. Managed by a humble local family and they treated us the best way possible. They even offered morning tea/coffee free of charge in the morning & gifted us some yummy mangoes from their own garden as well at our departure.. Got to know that they can arrange a safari as well if required & saw some great experiences shared by the previous gusts as well.. Parking available. Recommending the place to friends, families & couples who are seeking a peaceful stay :)

Kynrock Hotels & Resorts in Katharagama has captured our hearts! The food was absolutely divine - we couldn't get enough of the delicious meals! But what truly made our stay special was the staff's warm hospitality. They made us feel like family, not just guests. And the location? Perfect! Close to Yala National Park, they even helped us arrange an unforgettable safari experience. We also loved lounging by the swimming pool, a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. The gym facilities were a great bonus too! We felt so relaxed and rejuvenated during our stay. If you're looking for a home away from home in Katharagama, Kynrock Hotels & Resorts is the place to be. We can't wait to come back!

An Unforgettable Yala Safari Experience! Our recent stay was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the incredible guide and the amazing accommodation. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the beauty and wonder of Yala National Park. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystem, making the safari both educational and thrilling. His expertise allowed us to spot a wide variety of animals, including the leopard—a truly unforgettable highlight of the trip! His passion for the animals and the park was evident, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect retreat after an exciting day of exploring the park. This experience exceeded all our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure in Yala. Thank you to the team for making our trip so memorable.

Very friendly and helpful staff, good food in the restaurant, rooms were very clean. Perfect location to go on a safari in Yala. The hotel also organised a Safari for us. Prasad was the best guide and was so knowledgeable! He told us all about the wildlife in the park and did everything he could to make sure we get to see a Leopard! It was a great experience in the Lodge and on The safari with Prasad!

We arrived late, the staff was very welcoming, although the restaurant was closed, they still made dinner for us without hesitation and made our stay comfortable. The location was ideal for our "Safari" tour pick up.

It’s an excellent location bordering the park in a wilderness setting. Very clean accommodation. Basic but great food. We did a well organised evening safari through them and saw a lot of animals. Overall , excellent value for money property , perhaps the best “value” property we have experienced in Sri Lanka.

Amazing experience at Lake Front Yala Safari. The room was extremely comfortable and very clean but the best thing was the family that run this guesthouse, very kind and welcoming. The lady cooked a spectacular dinner, the best I have had since I'm in Sri Lanka, the daughter is a very smart girl who speaks very good English, she explained to me about the Sri Lankan culture and traditions of Kataragama. Last but not least I could book the safari through them at a very affordable price. I recommend this place 100%
