Remote location in the middle of the jungle, rooms are separate little houses linked by forest paths. Loved being surrounded by all the nature, vegetarian dinner was delicious.

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!

The Den at Yala is a true gem! This small, intimate hotel with only four rooms offers an incredibly personal and welcoming experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted so warmly by Gabriel, his wife, their children, the stuff, and even their friendly dogs – it genuinely felt like arriving at a home away from home. The hospitality was exceptional, making our stay truly memorable. If you're looking for a cozy and personal retreat near Yala, The Den is an absolute must.

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!

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%
