“Paradise on Earth!!!”
This resort has saved my faith in the beauty of Sri lanka. It is a little paradise on this island. to anyone who has an imagination, I heartily recommends it. The buildings and the workmanship of every detail is stunning in their beauty. It is located on the edge of the holy city of Kataragama and has its own access to the river , where you can cool down. the food is made from local vegetables and is wonderful. The Jungle welcomes you with a multitude of animals and the sounds of nature, which is everywhere. The character of the place is boho, and not for the fearful. Every day there are evening concerts on drums and possible dances. Everyone can participate. A wonderful, unusual place for relaxation and also a safari in Yala Park which the resort organizes. I fell in love with this place.

“Would stay there again!”
Felt like a special place with so many animals around, close to the river and really chill vibe Fernando, Roberto, Saman and others are most friendly and welcoming hosts Dinner and breakfast are great You can also easily organise a safari trip to Yala (national park is busy though!)

“Lovely place but rude behavior from the husband”
The place's magical and like no others one you'll see in srilanka. They created everything by theirs hands and you can tell how artistic and passionate they are. I got a really lovely surprise because I had booked a dorm and since they had no others customer they upgraded me in the wooden house that I highly recommend. In the morning you wake up with the squirrels playing around and monkey watching you.

“A cool place in pure nature”
I had a pleasant stay at Humbhaha. It is a must see place when you go to Kataragama. You can't stay any closer to nature than this hostel, waking up every morning to birdsongs or maybe even the racket of monkeys-grrr and of course not to mention the little animal sanctuary that the owner has. I can only recommend the place!

I definitly liked the vibe there. Gathering in the evening, drumming, having a beer. This was really great. I stayed in the treehut (bottom one), which I liked a lot, but it was right next to the communal area with music and drumming.
