My family had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Farm Villa Resort. The staff were extremely helpful, kind, and cooperative, always ready to assist with a smile. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and had a beautiful view of the paddy fields — waking up to the sounds of birds was such a peaceful experience. 🐦🌾 We absolutely loved the Sri Lankan breakfast — so authentic and delicious! The food overall was just awesome, and we even enjoyed picking fresh mangoes straight from the garden — such a lovely touch! 🥭 The resort's large swimming pool was perfect for relaxing, and the overall environment was clean, serene, and beautifully maintained. A big thank you to the management for keeping the property and surroundings neat and inviting. The location is also ideal — very close to Yala National Park, and we had an unforgettable Yala Safari experience. We also visited the sacred Kiri Vehera Temple, which was just a short drive away. I truly felt like part of the Farm Villa Resort family, and I already look forward to visiting again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax, explore, and enjoy genuine Sri Lankan hospitality!

What Guests Said About Kataragama:

8.0

It is a holy place visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike.

It is a holy place visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike. Some Muslims also visit a mosque located in the sacred area. Buddhist usually visit the Kiri Vehera area first and then come to the Devale premises. There are circular roads to facilitate that sequence. Otherwise, one can walk to the Devale premises and then proceed to the Kiri Vehera premises. There are lot of boutiques selling various items including offerings for Devale. They are located in the town area. After that one has to cross a small bridge over the Menik River to enter the sacred area. Over the years both sides of the river have been re-organized for a better sequential experience.

Kataragama itself is a temple town and that’s pretty much it. Other than that it’s a jumping off point for safari in yala and kumana. One day is more than enough for cultural/religious aspects. The Perahara (pageant) in July is fantastic. Be warned that it may not start till midnight and may need pre booked tickets. Also watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas around this time. The country side and the rural life as well as the wildlife is fantastic and authentic. Quite hot and sunny year round but dec to feb is more comfortable.

I thought it was a different place to go for Safari. But, almost all vehicles come from Tissa for Safari pickup so it doesn't really matter if you book a room in Tissa or Katharagama for the Safari.

Cool and quirky accommodation, we loved the style. We were met with a welcome and tea by the kind host which was appreciated. The room, bed and bathroom were all spacious. No hot water but we've got used to tepid showers which are fine. The breakfast was lovely too! We stopped in Kataragama as we were heading to Udawalawe the next day, the town was an unexpected surprise. We visited one of the temples and the town is teeming with wildlife. Fabulous! I'd definitely come again if we visit Sri Lanka. Thank you.

I spent two nights at the Lavendish Tamarind Lifestyle hotel with my entire family. The hotel room is roomy and includes amenities such as swimming pools. The breakfast is excellent, offering a wide range of food options. Dulanjalee from the restaurant was exceptionally helpful. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the cleaning crew is diligent. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a tranquil stay near the Kataragama temple.

Large clean hotel rooms. Spacious bathroom. Hot water is running smoothly. A/C is new and working nicely. A ceiling fan is also available. Very comfortable bed (spring mattresses) and pillows. Convenient and quiet location - walking distance to Katharagama devalaya. 8 minutes drive to Kiriwehera temple. The hotel staff arranged a Yala safari tour for us within a short notice.
