The property was well maintained and managed well from all aspects. The staff was very helpful especially mr. Inbarajah. They also helped us cook our own vegetarian food at a separate place near dining area.

Featuring quiet street views, Humbhaha jungle yala nature eco resort in Kataragama provides accommodations, free bikes, a garden, barbecue facilities, and a shared lounge.

Very unique place with such a great alternative vibe!! Built with very much love, a lot of cute animals, main facilities were clean. Owner has a misty vibe and plays music with his drums in the evening, the other man was a beam of sunshine and very nice. Buffet was really nice and they were accomodating of my celiacs disease too. Safari was good, too, short way from there into Yala. Nice breakfast.

    Good location to the yala park. Great host who arranged and guided us on an excellent safari trip where we were able to see a leopard and elephants from very closeby. We staid the full afternoon in the park and afterwards enjoyed an excellent dinner prepared by the host en his wife. Highly recommended.

    The host family is very nice. The young daughter speak a very good english and looks eager to train it and talk about their culture and traditions). The food I had was really good and they also greeted me with a fresh welcome juice. They let me help and Watch the dinner making and it was very pleasant. The rooms are big, very clean and Probably recently renewed (the a/c system seemed pretty new). The area is out of the city centre, but it is ist to get there in 20 minutes by walk.

    I loved the authenticity of the place and the people here. Chilled backpacker vibes. Roberto is a great host ensuring a very warm welcome to guests offering tea etc . Loved the rustic architecture , very much in tune to surrounding Nature complimented with the animals on site. Lodge is set by the river so you can go for a dip and cool down. And ample space for you to relax, read and do yoga.

    What a beautiful place! Lovely hosts, great food, such a relaxing vibe. Music in the evening, if you want: playing percussion together. You can book your safari from here, the driver we had was awesome, not rushing through the park, providing us with lots of information about all animals. One of the nicest resorts i have ever been to, defenitely a must see!

    Very kind and helpful family. Super clean and large room with working AC. Located about 15-20 minutes from town by foot. Only few restaurants/eateries around so better to buy food in town before coming to the homestay. The family can provide lunch/dinner upon request: the vegetable curries are very much recommended. Good local breakfast included. Nice view of the lake across the street. The family can help with booking a safari, though I had already made other arrangements.
