Hotels near Kataragama Temple

"This was the perfect place to stay for safaris to Yala National Park. We had a nice one bedroom cabin nestled in the woods. The staff was outstanding. Of course you need a security escort after dark. Which was easy. I called reception and security was at our cabin within minutes and escorted us to dinner and back to our cabin afterwards. They provide as much bottled water as you need. It was glass bottles and not plastic. Staff were super friendly. Must try the breakfast buffet on the 2nd floor. Amazing variety of different foods. Minutes to the park and you can arrange safaris at the hotel or on line like we did via Viator. A special shout out to the staff at the bar. Loved those guys. Our housekeeper, Ravindra, was excellent. Front desk, Sandu, was super nice and helped with everything we requested. Highly recommend this place. We don’t have small children but the families that did seemed to enjoy the large pool."

"The hotel was beautiful. The staff was incredible. We loved our time at Yala Jetwing."

"Room wasn’t very clean. The bath was dirty the bed sheets had holes in them and the rugs on the floor were very worn. Considering the cost. A bit of re- investment would not go a miss. "

"We knew this would be an adventure in the jungle without normal comforts but this was really disappointing. The tent were generally quite dirty but the main problem is the only toilet on the whole site is in your own tent and out tent smelt of sewage so badly we left after one night as we could not stand another night there. There were also a million insects including a giant millipede as the zips do not completely seal off tent. Then the bar was not operating as their licence has expired. The bbq we really looked forward to was also really poor as we were sat on our own away from main area and it was completely cold by the time it got to us although other guests sat in main food area said same thing. Food came one hour late and as no access to any other food on site (they have no cafe) and nearby town is far away it seems they have you trapped as the breakfast we paid 30 dollars for and ate on safari consisted of some fruit and white bread sandwiches which were not that tasty. I do not normally complain but for the cost of dinner and breakfast being very high and feeling quite trapped with options then this seemed poor. The staff were friendly as per normal but you need to be warned it is overpriced, poorly run and very rough experience for us as a family. "

"Staff was super friendly Rooms are okay for the price The property need a refresher "

"Great option for wanting to visit Yala. We stayed in the tent. Enough room For two people. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom and toilet were the inside tent. We were able to two safari on our one night stay. For our visit, we preferred the evening tour as seen a range of animals. MJ was a great guide Food was good, nice candle lit dinner and interesting night walk Included. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend. "

"This is fabulous hotel! Very picturesque, clean, modern and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The pool is a great size with a modern gym. We stayed here for easy acess to Yala national park which is only about 20 mins away. "

"The staff here could not be more helpful and friendly. I felt very welcomed and safe. The property sits on a lakefront with abundant wildlife. I enjoy photography and one of the staff kayaked me with my camera around the lake to take photographs of the wildlife. Like I said the service is unparalleled and the food is excellent. The staff is prompt and plans were followed up to the letter. It doesn’t get any better."

"Nice place, quiet and enjoyable "
