Farm Villa Resort is a true gem in Kataragama — a fantastic resort in a lovely location, surrounded by peaceful countryside and just a short drive from Yala National Park. The villas are modern, extremely spacious, and well-equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and all essential amenities. We especially loved the beautiful swimming pool that overlooks the serene fields — the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. The Sri Lankan rice and curry lunch was one of the best we've ever had — absolutely delicious and full of flavor! Every meal we had was fresh and satisfying. What made our stay truly special was the incredibly friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome and cared for from start to finish. This resort offers true value for money, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone planning a stay in Kataragama. We will definitely return!

The whole property was perfect for our family of four. We have 2 young kids (2 and 5 years old), and they loved playing with the dogs, and running around in the large yard area. My son spent all his time catching frogs and lizards while my daughter chased him around. It was safe and fun for them to explore. We saw monkeys in the trees, and peacocks roaming around the property. The food was really delicious. Home cooked, healthy, and tasty. The owner was there during our stay and we enjoyed getting to know him. He has so much experience and knowledge about the area, and was very accommodating to us. I wish we could have stayed longer!

    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%

Breakfast was delicious. Very much value for money for the price I have paid. I can recommend this to anyone who is looking to explore Yala with a tight budget
