The owner is so nice and helpful. And he cooks well too. Dinner and breakfast are so delicious. We can have food under the tree, chill and peaceful.

I have been to Sri Lanka three or four times, and when I come, I mostly stay in places connected with nature. Really, this place is very beautiful, and no matter how hot it was, it didn't feel like it inside this room. Here is a place of amazing beauty combined with a real jungle-like environment. I highly recommend this place to anyone. This is the place that provided the best service at the lowest price among the places I have visited in Sri Lanka. The staff was very close to us and provided good service. I highly recommend it as the only place that gave the best service for the lowest price.

Our three-night stay at Koragaha Lodge, the hidden gem of Yala, was nothing short of enchanting. As a young couple on a quest to explore Sri Lanka's big five at Yala National Park, we found the perfect haven that seamlessly combines rural charm with modern comforts. The rooms at Koragaha Lodge are spacious, clean, and adorned with authentic Sri Lankan touches, offering a cozy retreat after each day's adventures. The outdoor terrace, a hidden gem in itself, provided a perfect spot to unwind and connect with nature. The hotel's amenities, both indoors and outdoors, are superb, catering to every traveler's needs. The on-site restaurant and pool added to the overall charm of the place. What sets Koragaha Lodge apart is its commitment to authentic experiences. Under Damien's guidance, a knowledgeable staff member, we embarked on a thrilling safari at Yala National Park. The hotel also organized a pottery session at a local's home, a cooking class for traditional Sri Lankan cuisine, and a relaxing massage session. However, the true highlight of our stay was the exceptional staff. Praveen, the general manager, and the entire team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Instances like arranging unexpected laundry services and personally driving us to a distant restaurant showcased their unparalleled dedication. In conclusion, Koragaha Lodge is a rare find that delivers a captivating blend of comfort, authenticity, and unparalleled service. For those seeking a memorable escape in the heart of Yala, this boutique retreat truly stands out as an epitome of excellence.

We had an amazing stay! The team was incredibly accommodating and generous—surprising us with a free upgrade and always ready to help, even with last-minute requests like organizing a safari and a fishing trip. The food was delicious, and Jula, who manages the house, was both precise and friendly. Dimuthu and his family were attentive and always willing to go the extra mile to meet our needs. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and well-organized getaway.

The room is quite spacious. It's the biggest room we've stayed in the whole Sri Lanka trip. The staff were very friendly. They helped us to prepare the other morning's breakfast package for the Safari tour. We left for the Safari at 5:30a, our breakfast had been there ready. It's at the end of a small village road, and there's a pond in front of the hotel. It's quiet.

The staff was perfect, I can only say that the experience was perfect. We were there for a night to attend a safari. We asked the staff a day before, he managed to do it, they book online ticket for us so it’s was faster than the other jeeps. The dinner and the breakfast under the tree is amazing and beautiful ! If you want to live a real safari experience this is the lodge ! We are two French people and we can guarantee that the tent is clean, AC helps a lot and the shower is beautiful 😍 Thanks again for your kindness !

The perfect place for an authentic safari glamping experience - sitting out under the stars at night and listening to the sounds of nature. The lodge is run by a lovely family who are friendly and professional. They also cook delicious food so I highly recommend having a candlelit dinner at the lodge!

Beautiful, comfy and spacious safari tent. Lovely outdoor area with a real safari feel. Amazing food served under the stars each night. We went on a safari organised by Ranakeliya lodge and owner Thisara joined us which was a pleasure and great experience. 100% recommended this place

We stayed in the tented lodge for one night. The lodge is amazing. It is beautifully built, very clean with mosquito nets on every entrance and window. The open air bathroom rounded up the glamping experience. There is electricity and even wifi in the tents. We booked two safaris and one starlight BBQ. The safari organisation went smooth and the guides were really good. The dinner was outstanding and one of our highlights of the whole vacation. The owners are super friendly. Would definately recommend!

Everything is fantastic! We stayed here for two nights while going on safari in Yala with the all inclusive package. The staff at the Lodge were wonderful, and gave us everything we needed. The meals were delicious with lots of different menu options to choose from. The room was clean and comfortable with good aircon. The pool was also great. The perfect place to stay in Yala!

This lovely lodge was like your own little house. It was near to the owners house so you felt safe but had a lovely rustic feel with lots of nature surrounding you. Very clean and good size bed. Air conditioning was great. Family and owner were extremely friendly and welcoming. They cooked amazing authentic food. The bbq under the stars was a fabulous touch. Great proximity to Yala National park for a safari. The lodge arranged everything.
