Relaxing, Immaculate, comfortable and remote enough to give the sense of being in the trees whilst still being near the coast. The staff were amazing, the food extremely tasty and will certainly visit again. The bedrooms were spacious, bathroom lush with great water pressure.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The service was exceptional, and the highlight was definitely the Sri Lankan breakfast featuring the delicious coconut sambal – a definite must-try! The rooms were spacious, surrounded by lush greenery, and impeccably maintained. We particularly loved the large balcony where breakfast was served, offering a lovely touch of tranquility. The location, slightly outside the old fort, was perfect for us. The short tuk-tuk ride through the charming Sri Lankan streets added to the experience, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the local atmosphere and cool down in the breeze. While some reviews mentioned concerns about the hotel’s location, we found it to be a deliberate choice, offering a peaceful retreat away from the tourist crowds. Special mention goes to Kumudu, the owner, who was incredibly responsive. A simple text resulted in a tuk-tuk arriving within minutes, providing convenient transportation to and from the old fort. It was comforting to have a friendly face associated with the hotel for our travels. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to experience authentic Sri Lankan hospitality away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas.

The staff goes above and beyond: I had a family emergency and they helped me a lot, also outside of their working hours. They truly go the extra mile to make you feel at home and that I didn’t feel like I’m alone in this difficult situation. Sidesh is a great manager with a generous heart! The interior is beautiful and the breakfast is delicious! I highly recommend this accomodation!

This is an eco-hotel, beautiful, decorated with antique pieces and traditional furniture from srilanka. The hotel is surrounded by forest and we found many monkeys and exotic birds in the gardens. The room was huge and beautiful. Indika and his wife are exemplary hosts, very cordial and always willing to provide us the best stay. The hotel sells handicrafts from Sri Lanka and it was there that I bought my Christmas presents to bring to my country. Indika even took us to a local wood carver where we bought a wonderful wooden elephant, which reminds us at home of our fantastic journey through Sri Lanka . Indika has a tuk-tuk and took us to some beaches on the coast of Galle and to a fabulous Buddhist temple. Many thanks Mr Indika for your hospitality and concern to make our stay memorable.

    The location was superb, we could walk across to the Neptune Bastion, and also to the streets filled with cafe's restaurants, and small boutiques. The staff and the chef were superb and quick to respond to our expectations. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful especially the Sri Lankan cuisine, which the chef explained in great detail. It was like staying in our own home, and a luxury to come home to, after a hot day out in the sun.

    Everything about our four nights at Ginganga Lodge was exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The setting is beautiful and the attention to detail impressive. The staff are attentive without being in any way intrusive and the food, and the cocktails, were all delicious. We stayed in the Deluxe Suite which was just amazing. We took advantage of the tuktuk service into Galle and were always picked up promptly when we requested a return. We stayed in some superb places on our three week trip but this was the best.
