Located on the top of a hill, surrounded by tropical forest, with a great view of the ocean. Ahangama beaches, restaurants, clubs are within 15 minutes drive. The hotel staff are very nice, helpful and available H24. The food was awesome, with many tasty local dishes, I enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner.

Galle as a city can be quite hectic, so this property kind of is the type of place you need to relax and cool down. Elegant, spacious room and a shared pool surrounded by a beautiful garden with huge trees providing much needed shade. On top of that, fantastic host and staff :)

Beautifully renovated building in the historic Fort area, helpful friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. The hotel surprises with nice little details, like coffee ready for you outside your room in the morning or an excellent home made ice tea as a welcome drink. It is worth staying over night within the Fort as the area is showing its magic at sunset and early in the morning.

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
