OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Exceptional View, Exceptional food and amazing staff. From the start of the journey they were supportive in finding the location. The location is situated in such a beautiful area that gives the true Sri Lankan taste. Well maintained and clean place. Manager was great all the staff were incredibly friendly and supportive for us. They went beyond for services for the price we paid. My family would visit this place forever. Decided that this is our place of stay for the rest of trips to katharagama
Stayed in Mar 2025
Our three-night stay at Mailagama Cinnamon Residence was a delightful and perfectly situated experience for exploring Yala National Park. Raj, the manager, truly made our visit special. He was incredibly helpful, arranging two full-day safaris with an excellent driver and comfortable 4x4 jeep, and even gave us a fascinating tour of the property's cinnamon plantation. The residence's proximity to a quieter entrance of Yala's Block 1, just 30 minutes away, was a significant advantage. Each morning, they thoughtfully prepared delicious and plentiful breakfast and lunch packs, ensuring we were well-fed for our early safari starts. Our top-floor room was spacious, comfortable, and offered stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. With amenities like air conditioning and a TV, it was a relaxing haven after a day of wildlife spotting. Dinners were Sri Lankan food like string hoppers and kottu roti. We highly recommend Mailagama Cinnamon Residence for its outstanding hospitality and ideal location for a Yala safari.
A wonderful hotel, located in a beautiful place, where in the morning you can only hear birdsong. Wonderful staff, very helpful and very nice. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and very plentiful, made to order for guests, with fresh products. The hotel manager showed us around the plantation, among others, cinnamon, and also treated us to fruits growing on the plantation. I hope there are more places like this.
The accommodation is very nice. In the middle of the rice fields. It is fantastic. The rooms are very nice, big and have very comfortable beds. The food is always freshly prepared and is really delicious. Requests of all kinds were always fulfilled. We had half board and would do it again next time. We got a very nice tour of our own spice garden and were shown how they make cinnamon here as well. We also booked a full day safari in the Yala National Park and it was a very nice experience. The entrance to the park is not very far. We took our jeep about 30 minutes. Unfortunately we only stayed two nights, but would have certainly lasted a bit longer. Thanks to the team for this wonderful stay and a special thanks to the really great manager who guided us through the great facility.
Book at least two nights!
The property is surrounded by idyllic rice fields and is wonderfully quiet. The room was very clean and comfortable. The food was first class and typical Sri Lankan. The manager showed us the local cinnamon production (definitely try the cinnamon tea!) and the spice garden and helped us organize all the activities (safari in both national parks, temple ceremony, transport, etc.). Our stay was really nice and we were every wish read and fulfilled. We were lucky to be able to extend our stay spontaneously. Therefore, the recommendation to everyone: book at least two nights, because one night is clearly not enough in this dream location!
When asked by the hosts, what can be improved, we have not yet come up with an answer!
Very cool, I chose this place based on reviews next to the park, we took it for one day, the next day we went on a safari, which was also organized in this hotel, I asked them in advance. They prepared breakfast and packed it for the trip. The safari was comfortable. They took care of everything, even organized a laundry when I asked to have time before departure. I am very glad that I chose this hotel, it is a pity that we were in a hurry and stayed only for one night. Thank you for your hospitality, a wonderful hotel, beautiful flowers on the territory, very well maintained, good kind workers, a glowing smiling hostess. And the fields are very beautiful.
