Rathna Holiday Resort

We had a wonderful stay at Rathna Holiday Resort in Kataragama. The location is excellent—just a few minutes' walk to Kataragama Town and the Kataragama Dewalaya. There are restaurants nearby, and Detagamuwa Wewa is also within walking distance, making it very convenient to explore the area. The hotel is close to the main road, so it is easy to access while still offering a peaceful and beautiful setting. The room location was lovely, and the service was very good throughout our stay. A special thanks to the young manager at the property for his friendly hospitality and excellent service. He made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Rathna Holiday Resort to anyone visiting Kataragama. We will definitely be back on our next visit!

Initially the care taker wanted to retain the ID document till checkout, which is illegal. I told him he can take a copy of it or note down the details, but he has no authority to retain it and then he was silent on it. Obviously, people needs it with them while moving around, especially to visit Yala National Park. In Sri Lanka there were many instances of misuse of ID documents by criminals and there was a gov directive not to share even colored scanned ID documents with anyone except authorized gov legal enforcement authorities. Only legal enforcement / immigration authorities have the right to retain; that too under legal violations. So caretaker need to be trained in the limitations on their rights. And obviously owner has to take the blame. Bedsheets were given only on request. No toiletries were given, we managed as we usually carry with us. Care takers need to be trained to be polite and courteous to the customers. Once the owner improves the lapses, it will be a very good accommodation - no doubt on this.
