Great lodge close to Yala National park. Quiet, clean, big rooms. We also liked the food in the restaurant. The staff is nice and helpful and the best for me is that they rescued some dogs and cats from the streets and were taking care of them until they could find someone to adopt them. We had 3 cute puppies running around the restaurant area and had a lot of joy playing with them.

I didn’t realize breakfast was not included in my reservation and I ended up paying 10$ pp/day for it when I settled the bill (total 40$). We had one breakfast to go on a Safari day and another one in the restaurant. Okay it was my mistake but I found it overpriced for we we’ve got and for Sri Lanka. Price for dinner was okay (12$) for the quality of the food we got.

The lodges are very tastfully designed, spacious and comfortable. Pretty bug-free which is great work as we know it is not easy to do in the wild. The whole hotel site is actually very beautiful and really part of nature. The staff is very friendly and really tried to accomodate in keeping the dogs away. The pool is clean and at good temperature and they were good in online communication and helped arrange a pick-up from our previous hotel and a safari. Safari itself wasn’t great, extremely busy (much better experience in Wilpattu) but ofcourse nothing to blame the hotel here. Their menu contains both eastern and western options and on a safari morning they packed our breakfast, which was great!

The staff did their best trying to keep them away, but… for people afraid of dogs (like me), you will definitely feel tense all the time as there are a lot of them (and cats) on hotel property. Allergy-wise it remained tricky until the end as even on the last day I got served the things i’m allergic to (and had been communicating about for 3 days). For a hotel with this price, I would expect a bit more carefulness. Wifi does not work, but we had an e-sim so for us it wasn’t really a problem. Honestly, if they get these things managed- this place has the potential to rise to a 9 very quickly!

Our stay at koragaha lodge was perfect. They organised several safaris for us and went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable time with a brilliant guide and driver. The rooms and whole setting was beautiful and so well thought out. Praveen and his team offer an outstanding level of service which we haven’t encountered elsewhere at this level. My sister required gluten free meals and they made dishes especially for her dietary requirements with no hassle. Thank you for the most amazing couple of days!

The only downside is that the restaurant only offers three course set menus which are a little pricey if you aren’t a big eater.

Great location very close to Yala National Park. We went on on a fantastic safari organised through Koragaha with a local naturalist (Damian) who was incredibly knowledgeable and made the safari that much better. Koragaha is set In beautiful surroundings and puts you at the heart of nature. We could lay in the pool and watch birds and monitor lizards. The staff are attentive and very friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are their own separate bungalow so you have lots of space with your own private veranda. Beautifully decorated, very comfortable with the most amazing bathroom and bed. Would highly recommend Koragaha Lodge and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

We loved it - but be prepared for the friendly cats and dogs at dinner! We’d also recommend having enough cash with you for your stay.

Koragaha Lodge in Yala Park was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Hadley and his team made us feel incredibly welcome. The lodge itself was beautiful, with luxurious, clean rooms and stunning grounds full of life. One of the highlights was arriving to see a troop of monkeys feasting on mangoes right from the trees - a wonderful start to our stay. Wildlife was abundant, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the various birds and animals while relaxing by the pool. We also booked a full-day safari through the hotel, which turned out to be perfect. The jeep and driver were excellent, and we opted to have a naturalist (Sami) join us - a choice we’d highly recommend. His expertise was invaluable, as he spotted animals we never would have seen on our own and shared fascinating insights throughout the day. We felt incredibly lucky to witness two leopards, including one on the hunt, which led to some amazing photos and videos. The culinary experience was another highlight, with the lodge’s chef providing delicious meals throughout our two-night stay. The only regret was not staying longer! Koragaha Lodge is truly a gem, combining luxury with an intimate connection to nature. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Yala.

A beautifully designed property, situated in a rural area with a lovely big well kept garden. Fantastic nature walks nearby and lots of fauna and Birds. The lodge in itself is very large with a big bathroom, nice hot water, also the spiced shower gel gives you a refreshing fragrant feeling. The bedroom with a large bed was a blessing , air-conditioned room and nice big sliding doors overlooking the seating area on the patio and garden. The GeneralManager Mr. Praveen is very attentive, accommodating, knowledgeable and a pleasant well spoken person, which made sure that all his guests felt totally comfortable. A 5 star director. A very cosy peaceful place .

The swimming pool wasn’t very clear, food was average could have been better but wasn’t bad. Would have appreciated some other different items on the menu, like large soups or large salads and specials of the day. Staff need to be more on the ball, most of the times they were just hanging around, our room was not cleaned in 4 days. We had to ask for our room to be swept. Felt as if they would do things only if they get tipped ! That’s not a 5 star attitude .. we always tip in the end if service would have been good.

This has been my favourite hotel in Sri Lanka so far. The lodges are beautifully designed. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The bed was so comfortable. Praveen was extremely welcoming and helpful to us during the stay. We organised the Yala National Park Safari through the hotel in advance of our visit and it was 90USD per person (the hotel also arranged a naturist to join us on the safari and I really would recommend doing so as it gave great insight to the animals we encountered). The food was excellent. The staff were extremely accommodating to dietary requirements and were able to provide a vegan dinner. They prepared a vegetable kottu, coconut curry and dhal and it was soooo delicious. My partner also got grilled chicken and said it was the nicest meal of the trip! Could not recommend Koragaha Lodge more.

Nothing - everything was great!

The staff here was incredibly accommodating, they even offered us a late check-out without us needing to ask, which worked out perfectly since we had a morning safari. The room was modern and comfortable, and the pool was a great spot for a refreshing swim. They helped us arrange the safari and thoughtfully prepared breakfast in a bag for us to take along. We also had dinner there, which was delicious. Just a note: the prices for dinner and breakfast were a bit high ($12 and $10 respectively), considering the local cost of living, but it’s understandable since it’s a remote area. Overall, we loved it and highly recommend it. It’s the perfect spot for an unforgettable safari experience!

We had a great two-night stay at the lodge, close to the Yala national park entrance and perfect for a safari stop. The Lodge site itself is stunning and full of wildlife, we had a wonderful time sat outside our lodge spotting an array of birds and lizards. The breakfast and dinners at the lodge were delicious, cooked to order from a varied menu of western and local Sri Lankan cuisines. Praveen at the lodge helpfully sorted and booked our safari day for us with an experienced driver and knowledgeable naturalist. We had an amazing time exploring the park in the open sided jeep, and although we didn’t spot any leopards or sloth bears we saw just about everything else and got a great view of some elephants in a lagoon without any other safari traffic. We really recommend staying with them if you’re planning on an authentic safari trip to Yala!

We would have liked to have had our room serviced given the price as we had to ask for clean cups and toilet papers. That being said, it didn’t bother us too much as we were only there for a couple nights.

Nested in a peaceful beautiful jungle landscape. Very warm and caring welcome from the manager with personal touch and wonderful walk together to the ancient rock monastery and rice plantation. No crowds of tourists, but stunning real jungle and wild nature. We had the chance to taste typical Sri Lanka food, that was delicious. Thank you!🙏 We are happy of the choice we made versus hotels in Yala and highly recommend this charming lodge.

We got more than we expected, nothing disappointed us.
