Un endroit exceptionnel pour conclure votre tour du Sri Lanka
Pros:

Le cadre est fabuleux car isolé
Les singes vous réveilleront peut être le matin pour votre plus grand plaisir
Oiseaux, lucioles et écureuils seront aussi de la partie
La décoration des chambres et de la salle ouverte de restauration sont superbe avec beaucoup de goût
Le personnel est très attentif et au petit soin. Nous recommandons le poisson grillé qui a été un des meilleurs repas de notre séjour
Les repas par ailleurs ont tous été excellent à des prix raisonnables
La piscine et les bains de soleil sont très agréables
Si vous aimez les chiens, Shiva et Roxy seront friands de vos caresses mais vous laisseront tranquilles si cela ne vous intéresse pas

Cons:

Rien… tout est parfait
Rester qu’une seule nuit serait une grave erreur

Fantastisch verblijf in Galle!
Pros:

Je wordt ontvangen op een fantastische locatie met een zéér hartelijk welkom. Het hotel voelt direct als thuiskomen. Ook de kamers zijn mooi ingericht en voorzien van alle comfort. We kwamen toe voor inchecktijd, maar toch werd er tijdelijk een kamer voorzien tot onze kamer beschikbaar was. Het personeel is ten alle tijde beschikbaar om jou een fijne tijd te bezorgen. Een prachtige afsluiter van onze reis doorheen Sri Lanka.

What a wonderful oasis of calm. The pool was beautiful, the food amazing and the communal areas so relaxing.
We were disappointed to only have one night here.
The staff were so welcoming and helpful it felt we were treated like royalty.
The monkeys in the garden were an added bonus

Een heerlijke ervaring gehad waar we nog lange tijd aan terug zullen denken!
Pros:

Echt alles! Dit is een verstopt pareltje wat boven onze verwachtingen was. Alles was tot in de kleinste details geregeld. We waren hier twee nachten maar het voelde als een maand. Echt fantastisch!

What a find - forget the rest.
Pros:

Oh, I hate to think that this wonderful place will become too popular and that I may not be able to stay again! However, it is without a doubt the most memorable hotel that we have ever stayed at. Tucked away in the jungle just outside Galle, it is an astonishing place - small, beautifully thought out and incredibly friendly. The owner (Indika) and his team cannot do enough for you, and the desire to please is entirely genuine. It is not some effort at doing it right, it is totally successful. Indika has a greats ense of style, whilst keeping the place functiinal, down to the last detail. The lovely rooms have outside (and very private) bathrooms. They are air-conditioned and also have fans over the beds. The pool is surrounded by trees and there are lizards and monkeys to keep you entertained. The food was the best we have had in Sri Lanka over the past two weeks, and that is saying something considering how good it has been generally. The photos do not really do it justice. Just leave room for us next time we come! 😉

Cons:

Leaving after three days. That made all three of us quite sad. There is no fridge in the room, but there is none in the bar which can be used by guests.

Top accommodation very close to Galle
Pros:

Prachtig kleinschalig hotel , gelegen midden in de natuur, waar je de aapjes en varanen in hun natuurlijke habitat kan bewonderen. Heel stijlvolle inrichting van de kamers en de eetruimte . De kamers liggen verspreid op het domein zodat je veel privacy hebt , en een relaxt verblijf. Heel lekker ontbijt en diner en ontzettend vriendelijke medewerkers . Dit behoort absoluut bij de beste accommodaties waar we ooit geweest zijn

Cons:

Helemaal niets

Traumhafte Dschungel-Lodge mit außergewöhnlicher Tierwelt direkt vor der Tür
Pros:

Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft inmitten des angrenzenden Dschungels. Die gesamte Anlage ist traumhaft gelegen und bietet ein ganz besonderes Naturerlebnis. So kommt es vor, dass man direkt vom Bungalow aus Affen in den Bäumen beobachten kann, und auch Warane statten gelegentlich einen Besuch ab – absolut außergewöhnlich!

Die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet und die offenen Badezimmer unter freiem Himmel verleihen dem Aufenthalt ein ganz besonderes Flair. Das Personal war während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit.

Auch das Essen hat uns sehr überzeugt. Ein weiteres Highlight ist die direkte Lage am Fluss. Von hier aus kann eine Bootssafari gestartet werden, die wir nur empfehlen können und die für uns ein echtes Erlebnis war.

Insgesamt eine außergewöhnliche Unterkunft, die wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen können.

A Peaceful Oasis with Style in the Jungle.
Pros:

This is a tropical oasis tucked into the jungle away from the maddening crowds. It’s quiet, artsy, delicious food, great staff. Make sure you have the Sri Lankan breakfast at least once. I’m

Cons:

You do have to get a tuk tuk or car to travel back & forth to the Fort. But we found restaurants closer to us & also used the resort as a great place to rest.

Paradise
Pros:

We booked the Deluxe Suite Rice Paddy, and it was one of the best stays we have ever experienced. The room was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and exceptionally spacious. Although the narrow access road through the neighborhood might give a different first impression, the property itself is a tranquil oasis nestled beside a branch of the Gin Ganga, surrounded by lush greenery and abundant wildlife.
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food and beverages were outstanding, offering excellent value for money, with generous portions and delicious flavors. After 12 years in service, maintaining a 9.9 rating on Booking.com speaks volumes about the quality and consistency of the experience. Highly recommended and LGBTQ-friendly.

Cons:

None

Beautiful boutique style lodge, very peaceful with great staff!

A fantastic stay at Ginganga Lodge. The riverside setting is peaceful and beautiful, offering the perfect place to relax while still being close to local attractions and Galle. The staff were incredibly welcoming with owner Indika helping out each day, the food was excellent, and the accommodation was lovely and well maintained. A wonderful retreat and one we would happily recommend.
