The owners, very nice family! The room was big, quiet, beautiful terase in front. We eat with the owner very good food too.

I was offered tea upon my arrival by a very friendly and welcoming lady, whom I presume was managing the rooms, and an elderly aunty!! The accommodation is VERY basic, no frills like a tiled bathroom, etc. but it was spotlessly clean, and the bed, white linen, pillows, and room were comfortable and spacious. There was a small fridge, fan and air conditioner - what a bonus!! ???Due to the rain, coupled with the hot and humid conditions, there were lots of mosquitoes, so I needed the fan, mosquito net, and aircon to keep the mozzies at bay. There was a lovely large veranda (with a beautiful hammock) that opened onto a green but muddy garden due to the recent rain! I enjoyed sitting on the veranda and relaxed in the afternoon, while I waited for my room to be made up (my room had been given to another guest who had booked in just before me??) The bathroom was just cement finishes with, no tiles. It had a large walk-in shower, hand basin, and toilet, with a mirror and basin light. No soap or shampoo was provided. Luckily, I had packed travel shower gel and shampoo, so I was sorted ?? I left the property at 5 am. for my Yala safari, so NO breakfast, tea, or coffee were offered. For the price paid, I could not complain, and I had a decent night's rest in the air-conditioned room.??

Exceptional

A well designed room for the guests and very spacious. The host is sooo kind and caring you. Thanks for sharing the time??? If you are searching for a real quiet place, go there… With Metta?

The terrace outside the room was a nice place to sit and relax. The room itself is a bit dark with unpainted concrete walls, but very clean. Small fridge in the room. Location was quite central.

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.

We loved our short time at Kataragama Homestay, the hosts and their children were very sweet and welcoming and we felt well looked after there. The accomodation itself is great, with a nice spacious bed, clean shower, and a beautiful patio surrounded by plants. The breakfast in the morning was also very tasty. We left one night early because the safari we had booked was sadly cancelled due to the rain, but I wish we could have stayed for longer. An absolutely ideal homestay!

Lovely friendly family, a bit wary and shy in the beginning but soon at ease. Good sense of humour, universal, despite language differences. Beautiful garden with spacious room. The Grandmother made me some different food to try with each breakfast, very tasty. Nice quiet location, easy walk into town and bus station.

Kataragama Homestay is a really nice and very clean place. It is very good decorated with some chairs outside to chill. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom big and clean. Breakfast was delicious and staff really nice and welcoming!

Looks really nice, very hot and welcomed air con and fan.Family attentive and most of all a very large comfortable bed with fresh white sheets

Great homestay, basic but spotlessly clean, firm comfortable bed, mosquito net, Aircon and fan. Good communications throughout and family friendly and helpful. Quiet and peaceful, a little way from the holy site but easily walkable, plenty of tuctucs around if needed. Great value for money.

The guestrooms are separated from the house, so you have all the privacy. The rooms are basic but very beautiful and authentic - I really loved the room, the supercomfy bed and pillow. Srilankan breakfast is prepared on wood and was really good. The lady Karunawathi is very sweet. I was so happy I could use their bicycle (for free). I went all over Kataragama, probably I did more than 50km by footbike! For me it's the best way of discovering a place.

The room had a nice style, bed was big and comfy and bathroom was also spacious and stylish

I stayed here for one night to go to Yala Nationalpark. I felt very welcome and the room was great. The bathroom is very spacious and the family was so warm-hearted and helped me with everything. The local breakfast was delicious.

Very nice family! They talked with us and recommended a great local place to eat. Rooms were beautiful and very clean. Great value for money. Definitely recommend this!

- good stay in Katharagama, basically a family home with a nice garden -the room is air-insulated from outside, which is quite rare among hotels in SL. No need to run the AC continuously as it keeps cool all night -lovely breakfast in the garden area
