Guest Reviews

• Aloka (9/5): - Very friendly staff. Very close to the town.clean and tidy property. No comments
• Prasad (8/5): -
• Lashan (9/5): -
• Amitha (6/5): -
• Susana (9/5): - We reccommend staying here! These are standard rooms well located both for Safari at Yala but also to experience an authentic Pooja cerimony at the Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Devalaya. The hosts were very nice and accommodated all of our requests - we enjoyed our experience!
• Mithun (10/5): - Well maintained the property and very helpful staff.
• Dominique (10/5): Ich kann diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen! - Sehr sehr sauber und unglaublich zuvorkommendes und bemühtes Personal! Die Safari, die wir über die Unterkunft buchten, hat uns nicht gefallen. Wenig Input und eher nur ein Herumgefahre. Dafür können die Hotelbetreiber nichts - die waren super!
• Abilash (7/5): Definitely worth the price. - Very nice staff and we were well looked after. They are always watching the gate and rooms so I felt super safe keeping my luggages there. Had a mini frog come in the bathroom despite doors being closed, walls were super thin. Wasn't aware of this but it's an additional cost for the AC.
• Geethika (10/5): -
• Wilhelm (10/5): - Die Unterkunft ist so wie ich es Brauche. Freudliche und hilfsbereite Menschen, ein großzügiges Zimmer, großes Bad, Ventilator oder Klimaanlage, Mückennetze, zwei Stühle und ein Tischchen vor der Türe. Überdache Esstische, Wasserkocher, Waschmaschine...........! Die Ausstattung ist schlicht, super sauber und alles vorhanden was gebraucht wird wenn man unterwegs ist. Hier komme ich geŕne wieder her. - - -

• ramona consuela (10/5): -
• olivia (9/5): Amazing host and a great stay for safari! - Accommodation was clean and comfortable. In an excellent location for Yala safari tour. The host was amazing and so kind - he really made our night there! There was a sheet on the bed but nothing to sleep under? I wonder if it was due to how hot it was but would have been good to have the option. Just be aware that this area is great as a stop for Yala safari but there is not much in the town area - regardless of where you stay.

• yoshi (10/5): - 事前のメッセージのやり取りも丁寧で、到着後も早目に部屋を用意してくれたり、紅茶をいれてくれたりした。お祭りのときに行ったので帰りのバスを心配していたが、早朝バスターミナルまで送ってもらえたので、とても助かった。

Er hat uns eine Jeep Fahrer für die Safari besorgt. Vor der Abholung um 5:30 hat er uns sogar Tee aufs Zimmer gebracht. Er half uns sogar bei unserem TukTuk, da wir Probleme damit hatten. Unterkunft hatte gute Ausstattung. Ventilator war etwas schwach.
• Koralage (6/5): - Overall, we had a pleasant stay. While the room was slightly compact and the absence of air conditioning made it a bit warm, especially at night, the space was clean and manageable. There was also a slight noise from the fan during the night, which affected our sleep a little. However, the kindness and helpfulness of the owner truly stood out and made our experience much better. We appreciate the warm hospitality!

• Sintujan (9/5): Very clean property. Hospitable and helpful property owner. - The property owner and his staff were extremely helpful and hospitable. The property was very clean and maintained well. Tea was served as requested. Good location that is quite close to main attractions in Katragama town including main temple complex, sella katragama town, and the Wedasitikanda mountain (aka "Elumalai").
• Padma Gnanapriya (10/5): - I stayed one night at Sunshine Guest House this week and had a great experience. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff and the owner were very friendly and helpful. They provided private parking, drinking water, and all the necessary things. The location is also very convenient – it’s close to Kataragama Maha Devalaya, just a 15–20 minute walk. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!
• Sixtine (9/5): - Very simple rooms but clean. Very welcoming and great service.

• nuwan (10/5): - Sunshine Guest House in Kataragama is a peaceful and comfortable retreat, perfect for both pilgrims and travelers. The rooms are clean and well maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. Located close to the sacred Kataragama temple, it's a convenient and quiet place to relax after a day of sightseeing. With its warm hospitality and affordable rates, Sunshine Guest House offers great value for anyone visiting this spiritual town.
• Balasingam (10/5): -
• Dayarathna (8/5): -
• Morahenpita (7/5): Clean, convenient, affordable place to explore Katharagama. - Good place to stay and worship Katharagama. Rooms were large, with average facilities. The beds and pillows aren't the most comfortable. Would have been great if the pillows were more comfortable. Place is clean, staff helpful. They don't serve food, but you can order from a nearby house through them. Located close to Katharagama dewalaya and kiri wehera, so it is convenient not having to travel a long distance. pillows
• Ellie (10/5): The best stay for Kataragama and Yala safari. Would recommend to anyone - I would give 6 stars if I could! Clean guest house with great location for both Kataragama town and Yala. Both owner and staff are friendly, arranging safari tour (which was cheaper than other places), tuktuks as well as helping me get a bus home. Nothing was too small to ask and the owner went above and beyond. Incredible value for money. Nothing!

• Ancilla (10/5): - The owners are very nice persons and I felt very comfortable staying there! It was calm and everything was clean.
• Ainharan (10/5): Delightful, thanks to a cozy, spotless room and Janaka's exceptional hospitality! - I had a wonderful stay at this property! The room was small but perfect for my needs, and the place was spotlessly clean and very well-kept. What truly made this stay special was the host, Janaka. His warmth and care shone through in everything he did, whether it was keeping the place tidy (no surprise, as he’s ex-Army and knows what cleanliness means!), offering me tea without charging (I am a tea lover and might have taken advantage of his kindness with a few extra cups!), or going out of his way to arrange transport and have friendly chats to make us feel at home. Janaka’s hospitality makes this place truly unique. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling solo like me or with family! Maybe room could be slightly big but then again, it doesnt matter as I just wated a place to sleep
• Miyu (10/5): Best hospitality - Hospitality from the owner and staff. Place was clean, comfy and safe. We have been offered tea morning and afternoon. You have all the facilities at this place. We would visit here again. None

• rosie (10/5): Great stay - The hosts here are amazing, friendly and helpful. We stayed here to do Yala national park and even when we had to leave at 5:45 for our tour, the hosts still got up early to have coffee ready for us before hand. The rooms are comfy and spacious. Thanks so much :)
