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.

Absolutely loved my stay. Staff were amazing, the room was lovely, food was good - for breakfast the food was never ending! I got room service quite late at night and it was never too much trouble for staff. I only stayed one night but could have stayed for another couple of nights. Location is amazing - right inside the Fort so I walked around lots & they gave me some nice recommendations for lunch and dinner. Overall, a great experience if you want somewhere clean, friendly and quiet.

The villa/ hotel was exceptional. By far the best hotel we stayed in Sri lanka ( we were there for 12 days). Its our honeymoon, they prepared cake for us which was a nice gesture, the villa looks excellent, very central ( inside the fort). The room was super clean, again the cleanest we had in sri lanka. Prasad who was taking care of the villa is very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond keeping the clean for us The management team was also very friendly, mainly Nafhan the duty manager was amazing The best part of booking this villa is that its part of fort bazaar, so we were having breakfast there and could use their pool. Cant recommend this place enough

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.
