Lakeview Villa, Koggala Lake, Ahangama, Galle

TomaszRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The Lakeview Villa is a stunning, secluded (despite being not so far away from the closest town) property. Garden is extremely well kept, the interior is well thought out giving the building soul which other more modern villas usually lack. I could spend days marveling the view from the pool. The staff are kind and welcoming. Lesley is a great host, responsive at all times. And my favorite part of the stay - Sonali’s cooking - she is a master of her craft and treated us to dishes leaps and bounds ahead of anything else we ate on the island. The food itself is worth the visit to the house. Do not hesitate to book this property!

Amazing Stay – Highly Recommended! We had a fantastic time at this villa! The property was clean, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described in the listing.

Very accommodating and he catered to our requirement without a hesitation and Thari was so helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a perfect holiday experience!

Royal Stay Antique Villa by the Beach Ahangama 8P

GalRating, 5 stars2 months ago

I stayed with 2 friends for a 6 day surf vacation. The house worked great for us. Very well located near the Sion surf point, near many restaurants and coffee shops, very specious and well equipped. DD was pleased and proactive and helped us feel at home. We will return there as soon as we can. Highly recommended.

Galawatta Beach Cabana Siri 2

PetraRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful cabana on the beach where the turtles swim. The terrace and bathroom are both very spacious. For the beach days, there’s a garden for guests only with sunbeds and a shower. The whole family is very friendly and the food is delicious. You can rent snorkels, which was great. Would definitely recommend this place.

Family-Friendly Apartment – Nature Stay for 2+2

JackRating, 5 stars1 month ago

After staying in 30+ Airbnbs over the past 3 years, we can easily say Nuwan’s place is the best. We loved having coffee on the private balconies (there are 2, 1 facing rice fields & the other the lake) while watching buffalo, toucans, peacocks & monkeys (who don’t bother you!). The space is HUGE, with plenty of areas to work. The air con is strong in the bedrooms, & they provide filtered water, so no need to buy plastic. Cleaning & washing are excellent. The location is epic, surrounded by stunning scenery, yet only 15 mins from the best beach(!) in Sri Lanka—Silent Beach. There are cooking utensils, veggies from the garden, & it’s 10 mins to town, but you can also order food from them (which we genuinely think is the best restaurant in Tangalle!). Finally, Nuwan, Piyumi, their funny, smart daughter Emly, & the grandparents are the kindest people—from rescuing baby peacocks to helping us tailor clothes, to watching fireflies. Just book it! We miss everyone + the dogs so much already.

Cottage by the Lake (5 mins from the beach)

MahimaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Staying at this incredible wooden cottage on Koggala Lake was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel incredibly welcome and at home — their warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for the entire stay. A special shoutout to Yohan, whose help and attentiveness were simply amazing and made everything even more seamless. The cottage itself is beautifully constructed, giving off a fantastic homely vibe with stunning views of the lake. The team even torched the gardens for us in the evening, creating a magical, serene atmosphere. The pool was always clean, inviting, and accessible — a perfect spot to unwind whenever we wanted. All our basic needs were thoughtfully and thoroughly taken care of, making the entire experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and genuine hospitality, this place is an absolute gem. Can’t recommend it enough!

Budget River Retreat

TiagoRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Madu’s place was fantastic—peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing stay. The house is fully private, with its own kitchen and bathroom, offering great comfort and independence. The host, Madu, is incredibly communicative and helpful. Whether you have questions or need assistance, he’s always reachable, either in person or via phone. One thing to keep in mind: if you want to be close to the city center, it’s about a 20–30 minute walk, as the house is situated near the second river up north. However, this also means you get to enjoy a quiet, secluded space with almost no neighbours. (bonus: you get to see some fireflies at night) If you have a scooter, getting around won’t be an issue at all!

Shady Home Ahangama

FreyaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Lahiru and his family were amazing hosts and so kind to us! They moved over our bags from their other property (shady cottage) while we were away for the day and even came to help us when we ran out of gas on our bike. They were so friendly and we felt right at home. It’s a beautiful peaceful location that is still close to ahanagama and kabalana beach which has lots of restaurants, surfing, bars. You can rent a bike so you can get around easily. Thank you for everything you did for our stay! :)
