This was hands down our favourite stay during our entire Sri Lanka trip! - Very new and clean rooms, nicely furnished - Fully stocked kitchen available at any time of the day, VERY CLEAN! - Great interior design, beautiful and spacious bathrooms - Clean and cozy pool - PERFECT customer service. There’s a person at another building within the property at all times ready to help you with everything. One day after a long day of sightseeing we were welcomed with freshly gathered coconuts straight from the tree next to the pool! Jeewa was always a nice and welcoming face to see when coming back to the property :) - Great contact with the property owner, both via WhattsApp and occasional visits in the property. The owner made some good travel recommendations and was very interested in our wellbeing - Veeery tasty breakfasts offering a wide selection of fruits, spreads and different local cuisine options everyday - The place feels like you are staying at your own home but still offering all benefits you get at a hotel - Good location (not in the middle of the touristy area, but still within walking distance to the fort, beach and residential areas of Galle

The communication and service from booking till the very of our stay, including from the live-in caretaker Sujee, was flawless!

This is an amazing place, starting from the location, in the middle of the jungle, following with the facilities, furniture and attention to the details.

    This is a small hotel with three rooms. The staff here takes good care of the guests. Don't expect a fully functional reception desk. It is more like an upscale homestay. Having said that, i must add that this bungalow has been lovingly restored, it is aesthetically pleasing and there is a touch of personalised care in everything. Best place to stay inside the galle fort.

    This was my second visit and it was even better than last year. Ginganga Lodge is quite exceptional with 6 beautifully designed suites in the midst of idyllic tropical gardens and surrounded by nature. It is the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of Galle city yet it is just a short tuk tuk ride away. The restaurant offers well presented delicious meals and the staff are always friendly and attentive. A thoroughly enjoyable finale to our visit to Sri Lanka

    This charming colonial-style hotel in Galle offers a fantastic location just a short stroll from the historic center of town.

    The hotel is in the middle of the mangrove jugle by the side of a large and beautiful Lagoon. Our cottage/cabin/room was on the top of it. Outside was so green and we had a private pool under the room and at the bank of the lagoon! T/he night was full moon and the nature was surreal. The staff were so nce to us, breakfast was complimentary and has been served at the floating restaurant! Lovely experience!

    The Lodge is situated away from the noise of Galle down little winding lanes and next to the river. Our room (half of a bungalow) was comfortable and attractively furnished and very quiet. We loved watching the shy, purple faced langurs in the tree from the open bathroom. Staff were kind and helpful and catered for my dietary needs. The pool was lovely and the food good. The owner took us into town and collected us whenever we wanted, by tuk tuk, which took about 15 mins.

    We stayed in the hotel for 1 night which is ideally located to visit the fortress / old town. The entrance to the hotel leads through a small garden which feels like a little oasis in the middle of the heat of Galle. The hotel itself is designed and decorated with a lot of style. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they even surprised us with a free room upgrade upon arrival which was lovely. The charming room with a balcony was very clean and cozy. We recommend when staying at Galle.
