Yala Oga Reach Hotel

We came to Lanka from Dubai and came to Oga Reach Hotel on the second day..oga reach hotel is an excellent hotel. Excellent service The room was very spacious, clean, and equipped with all the amenities we needed. Breakfast was delicious and had many choices; It was a very extensive buffet spread. The people at reception were very helpful not only at check in and check out but also with directions to places. The location is excellent - the hotel is located near a central lake.. The chef was a young man named Kaweesha who prepared delicious food for us, a very active young man. The rice and curry was delicious and the fried rice was delicious .. I will recommend to friends and will definitely stay again if I visit Kataragama again"

Nice and calm place. We loved the location. Our room were facing the beautiful lake. Room size was good and amenities including AC were perfect. Friendly staff. Special thank to the chef for preparing delicious Sri Lankan dishes in the original Sri Lankan way. We had rice and curry for diner and string hoppers for the breakfast. Meals were awesome. Location was good too since we got easy access to Yala NP safari. Would love to recommend for somebody visiting Yala NP or Katharagama sacred city.

I am really sorry for giving this review. However, I thought to do this because of the experience that we had with toddlers. - we booked a double deluxe room and a triple room. - when we arrived, they didn't know that there is a booking or what we booked. - There were no computers or reception staff. - A very young staff member noted what we said on a note book and took us to the rooms. - we were given two double rooms. Not a triple room. - we asked for a triple room. We then got shown another room. - it had an old plywood piece bed as the second single bed. (Please see the photo) - the bathroom was smelly , it smelt of urine. - they just swept the floor and gave the keys - the hotel has some overhead tanks . They overflow and wet the whole balcony. This have rotten the balcony support. Hence, you will either get wet or the balcony will come off. Please check the photos - the rooms had many insects. Yellow and red spotted millipedes, cockroaches , mosquitoes and loads of ants swarming over everything. Both todlars hads somany bites despite of the insect repellent sprays. Please check photos. - the toilet takes more than 30 minutes to fill between flushes. This means that we had to share number two's. - the hot water stops intermittently. There is no one in the hotel to ask at times, except to the two security guards. - this is located about 30 minutes from the town. However, you have to walk 15 minutes to the road to stop a tuck tuck but there are very few that you can stop. You have to get phone numbers and call. The prices very 300-600 rupees. - they don't have a food menu. Everything is verbal . They kept saying that they only have very little items. You can get very basic food at top prices. - we wanted to wash some clothes. The staff said that we can leave the clothes with them, when the people from the laundry come they will tell the price. What actually happened was , they took the clothes, washed it and gave a big bill we also had to pay a tuck-tuck driver. - when this was challenged, some identified himself as a manager told that they would have charged more than two times. When we asked why we were not given the prices before, the answer was an apology. Please view the photo for the charges. - there is no TV in the room - the lake next to the hotel has crocodiles in it. - there is nothing to see near by. You have to book a vehicle to go anywhere - the hotel never told us that we have to leave the keys to clean the rooms. When we did find out, we still had to ask for toilet tissue, some coffee sachets and everything. As a result, we left one day earlier. We did meet the general manager the day before. He was apologetic and ask to send an email with the details to him. I don't think this hotel gives a service that justified the charges

Hotel Oga Reach situated by the lake Yodakandiya Tissamaharama offers stunning views . Hotel staff is friendly and food is good . The spacious rooms with quality bedding and a great view added to the experience. The pool is also very nice and has an excellent view… The prompt resolution of issues despite limited staff was commendable. However, the bathroom drain problem and the initial delay in assistance were minor inconveniences. My overall positive experience and the quick problem-solving showcased the hotel's potential. My suggestion for improvements in staffing and readiness during arrivals would undoubtedly enhance the quality further. Overall, My stay at Hotel Oga Reach seemed to be enjoyable despite some minor hiccups.

Great Hotel with Great food and an amazing view. Highly recommended for Vacations with a peaceful environment and the best view. Lake view Room is highly recommended. They provide safari facilities to visit yala on request

The best stay ever. The environment was pleasant and welcoming. Overall, I had a great experience with the Oga Reach, staff was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect. Would definitely stay there again.
