A Hidden Gem in Yala! We had an unforgettable stay at The Wardens House, a secluded and luxurious hideaway near Yala National Park. With only four beautifully designed rooms, the hotel offers an unmatched sense of privacy and personalized service. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive, making us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. Our guide Kelum was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and culture of Sri Lanka, and passionate about sharing it with us. The safaris were not only exciting but also deeply enriching. The culinary experience was another highlight. Every day we were offered a fresh and diverse menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The drink selection was also great with carefully curated drinks. If you're looking for tranquility, high-level hospitality, and a deep connection to nature, The Wardens House is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return one day!

This property is located in a lovely atmosphere with a lake in sight and a couple of kilometers away from center of the Kataragama city which was convenient. The room was comfortable, air-conditioned and equipped with adequate amenities. Both the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. I was able to explore local attractions in Kataragama including the Kiri Vehera Temple, Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Dewalaya and Wadasiti Kanda during the Esala Festival while staying here. The property is managed by a friendly and hospitable family who were quick to accommodate any requests.

I had the pleasure of staying at Farm Villa Resort in Katharagama for two nights, and it was a wonderful and memorable experience from start to finish! 🌿 From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm and heartfelt. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything. Special mention to the front office team – truly a gem in hospitality! The room was spacious, the bathroom was very big, and the overall comfort . The clean and inviting swimming pool was perfect for cooling off and relaxing in the serene atmosphere. What makes Farm Villa Resort truly special is its beautiful location surrounded by nature. The resort is set amidst lush paddy fields, and there's a charming little lake flowing through the property, creating a peaceful, scenic environment ideal for rest and reflection. I enjoyed walking through the paddy fields, listening to the birds in the mornings, and even got to pick fresh fruits from the garden! 🍌🌾 It's also conveniently located – just a short walk to the sacred Kirivehera and Katharagama Dewalaya, making it perfect for both pilgrims and nature lovers.One of the biggest highlights was the full-day Yala Safari arranged by the hotel – an absolutely amazing adventure! 🐘🦁 We saw incredible wildlife, and everything was perfectly organized with a knowledgeable guide.The food was another standout. The traditional Sri Lankan dinner was flavorful and authentic, clearly made with care and love. The breakfast offered plenty of variety, and every meal was beautifully presented. The dining team was attentive and courteous, adding to the overall great experience.In summary, Farm Villa Resort offers far more than just a place to stay – it's a place to connect with nature, enjoy delicious food, and experience genuine Sri Lankan hospitality. Whether you're visiting for relaxation, a spiritual trip, or adventure, this resort has it all.

A well deserved 10/10. The Den at Yala is a beautiful property with lots of character. The rooms were so clean and spacious. The location is superb close to national park entrance especially if early morning start. Surrounded by nature so you feel when you arrive relaxed. The meals were delicious. Gabrielle and Sanjana the couple who own and run the property were super friendly organised a safari for us. They made our family trip to Sri Lanka very special. Huge thank you from the Hogan family.

Lovely little property with a wonderful owner who was always on hand to make sure everything was ok. The outside inside bathroom was a highlight. The food she cooked was excellent and lots of it! They also organised everything for our full safari trip to Yala with a great and safe guide and organised a breakfast to go hamper for the journey which was fabulous.

I had the most enchanting stay at this place, nestled in lush greenery and surrounded by lovely birds. The tree house truly felt like a fairytale escape! The mud houses (with mosquito‑netted beds, which are much needed!) and hammocks swaying among the branches, offered a cozy, magical vibe. The charming family who runs the lodge welcomed me like one of their own, and the little ones’ cheerful greetings in the morning were absolutely heartwarming. :) They went above and beyond—arranging safari adventures at great value, fixing anything I needed, and even going shopping in heavy rain to make me a homemade dinner when I arrived late and hungry. If you’re seeking a warm, authentic, and storybook-like experience in the heart of Sri Lanka’s nature, this is the place to be!
