We were welcomed by the host who was so friendly & professional. We arrived earlier than check in as our flight was at an earlier time but the hotel were great & offered us breakfast whilst they prepared the room…it was ready for us 3 hours prior to check in which was perfect as we were tired from our long travel. We had a little frog in the room when we arrived but the staff came quickly as soon as we told them & they removed it carefully. Everything was perfect during our stay, the facilities, the staff, the food…it was all so lovely. We loved that we could see monkey’s jumping from tree to tree around the property & big lizards roam around the grounds occasionally which was very cool! Yoga mats are kept on a rack by the pool, which you can use freely when you wish…nice touch! The price of the food in the hotel was a little more expensive than other places in Sri Lanka but actually was very reasonable price for the quality of it. We were celebrating our anniversary & the hotel went the extra mile to make our stay special. We had a private dinner in the sky bar and had the burger & tuna dishes. The burger was one of the best burgers i have ever had, so delicious! We also visited the spa & enjoyed our time there with massage/ facial/ herbal bath looking out to the sea, so wonderful. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, I hope we can visit again in the future! :-)

Had an amazing experience staying at Ginganga lodge with family (including a toddler and elderly parents) for 3 nights. The owner and staff were exceptional, courteous, helpful and very professional. They accommodated all our requests (eg: early morning tea, afternoon tea to room, storing some fruits and things for kid in fridge). They were also thoughtful with being umbrellas when it rained, assisting parents when needed and also coming to accompany us in the night from parking lot. The lodge itself met our expectations to the fullest. Rooms were cosy, beds were comfortable. Unique experience with the outdoor bathrooms and showers. The lodge is a nature lovers paradise and the architecture blends in so well with the surroundings. Very tastefully decorated. We booked including breakfast and each day it was a delight to have freshly prepared delicious food (traditional Sri Lankan style or western style and both options were great). The pool is also so serene, perfect temperature, clean and kid and us enjoyed the nice dip and swim the the pool early morning. We also requested a river boat ride and the owner arranged it in easily and we enjoyed all the experiences a lot. The place is well maintained, offers a unique experience and great value for money.

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.
