Immersion complète dans la culture et la jungle du Sri Lanka
Pros:

L’emplacement était incroyable, vous êtes à moins de 10 min à pied du lion rock. La famille est très accueillant et serviables. Elle nous a réserver un safari à bon prix, qui était incroyable. Le mari a un tuktuk alors il est facile de réserver avec lui pour les matinée si vous voulez faire le lion rock ou l’autre randonnée matinale. C’était très paisible tranquille sans bruit dans la nature tout en étant à deux pas du downtown. Ce lieux est charmant, toutefois assez rustique. Il s’agit d’une expérience immersive à la culture Sri Lankaise.

Coupure d’électricité, mais bon ça dure deux minutes. Max

We had a great time at the sigiriya rock and enjoyed the wildlife there
Pros:

It was a great stay! We enjoyed being in the nature with monkeys on our terrasse. It was only a small path from the main road to the hostel. And it‘s very close to the sigiriya rock.

great lil lodge + a little reminder about elephant tourism
Pros:

close to all the restaurants & shops & easy to get to lions rock,, the family that runs the lodge are so kind, attentive & sweet! all the best to them:))

Cons:

DISCLAIMER - The following negative review is NOT related to the lodge. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the business & the accommodation that they provide,, this is just something that everyone who plans on visiting Sigiriya should know & be aware off. Again, this has nothing to do with the Gangula Eco Lodge or my experience there.

In the middle of town, across the road from the ATM & the BARISTA cafe are two captive elephants. The people who own these elephants use them to entertain & profit of tourists - letting people ride them, bathe them, pet them & take photos with them - all for a fee of course.

PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT OR CONDONE THIS.

These elephants are abused & show clear signs of distress, they are chained up & left on the side of the road for people to gawk at until the next customer arrives. It is common & public knowledge that it is extremely unethical & barbaric for elephants to live in these conditions. There are still no laws or regulations in place to protect captive elephants in Asia so tourists & travelers need to do their part by being aware & knowledgeable of the mistreatment these animals have to endure as well as not supporting the people & organizations who profit of it. Please do your research before visiting sanctuaries, orphanages or any organizations that claim to care for elephants, as they can be quite deceiving with their marketing & advertisements - if they’re legitimate & truly care for the elephants wellbeing then there is absolutely no way that you can pay to have a close up encounter with one. If you plan to pay for or partake in an any sort of personal encounter with an elephant, whether that be in Sri Lanka or anywhere else in Asia, just know that you are directly funding an industry that profits of the neglect, abuse & suffering of these animals & will continue to do so until they can’t anymore.

Erg vriendelijke mensen
Pros:

Erg vriendelijke mensen. Willen je met liefde 's ochtends wegbrengen naar de hike en vroeg om een banaan en kreeg nog een bordje watermeloen mee. Ook iets later uitchecken (in het laagseizoen) was geen enkel probleem. Toen ik in de middag terug kwam gaf ze aan dat ik nog netjes gebruik mocht maken van de douche, ze had de kamer speciaal nog even zo gelaten voor me.

Cons:

Helaas spreken ze niet zo goed engels waardoor ze me naar de verkeerde berg brachten. Check dat dus goed met de of ze het helemaal begrijpen. Kamer is wat gedateerd maar helemaal prima voor deze prijs.
De yoga foto is denk ik een random foto van gasten, volgens mij geen standaard activiteit.
