The property had a beautiful setting and the pool was lovely. The breakfast was really nice and the hosts made us something different every day. The best thing about our stay were the hosts. The family were so hospitable, kind, and were happy to help us with everything we needed. They arranged tuktuks and a safari at good prices. I even left my e-reader in the property when I left and they got it to me at my next location. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay at Gangadiya Lodge! Heshan and his brother made sure we had everything we needed. From arranging an elephant safari to just driving us to where we needed to be in their Tuktuk, nothing was ever a problem!

Location is very serene but a little out of the way for walking anywhere, but the tuk tuk availability ensures you can always get to wherever you want or need to be.

Comfortable basic stay, delicious breakfast, excellent service from the owners- no ask was too much! Definitely use them for tour recommendations and planning!!!

Such a beautiful, quiet, clean property. The food was superb, the pool was great, but the family were the best part - cooking dinner and breakfast, arranging our elephant safari, suggesting restaurants and booking transport for us. Thanks guys!

Lack of hot showers (but note we did not ask the host to rectify as we were often out very early in the morning).

Beautiful breakfast and the hosts were very accommodating and lovely. The room was clean and basic but sufficient for our needs. We didn't try the pool as we were busy, but it looked inviting. They support you with tuk tuks and local food recommendations which were good..

The staff at gangadiya lodge were amazing! Always ready to help us in anything we needed. They also gave great recommendations for activities we could do around the area and arranged transportation for us! Breakfast and dinner were also very tasty :)

Wi-Fi didn’t work which wouldn’t usually bother us but the ESim we chose also didn’t have signal. Was not recommended to walk into town at night due to the wildlife so needed tuktuks each way but they were not expensive.

We liked the pool. We had early morning trips out so the hotel arranged for takeaway breakfast which was really tasty and very traditional breakfast. Close to sigirya rock. Beds were comfortable and room was clean with mosquito nets and aircon. Good location for the jeep safaris that are on offer.

The lighting in the room is bright white/blue which makes it less nice to stay there.

Really friendly hosts. It was raining the first night and they immediately texted us if we wanted to have dinner there.

We loved our stay here. The family looked after us so well, especially the twin brothers and their friend, organising everything from our delicious breakfasts to our safari and tuk tuk rides into town. We loved the meals and the view of the jungle canopy from our family room. We can't thank them enough for their hospitality.

The rooms could be refreshed a little.

Very helpful staff, very good breakfast, ans on time. Location has a jungle feel, we loved it.

A bit strange light in the room, that’s all.

Lovely family owning this place- it’s like a home stay. Two brothers who are very helpful to arrange trips and transport. Really delicious food cooked by the mother in the family. Peaceful setting with nice pool. Can really recommend!

We loved our home stay. It was exceptionally clean, the breakfast was substantial and very tasty and it was so peaceful. Our hosts couldn't have been more accommodating. Their sons are lovely and drove us in their own tuk tuk to anywhere we wanted to go (for a fair price). We would love to stay again ☺️

The Family is very welcoming, friendly and will help you with all your issues. They can drive you with their Tuktuk, serve great breakfast and help organize activities in the area Like a elephant Safari

We felt so welcome in the family! They were very helpful and friendly. We felt like home our first few days in Sri Lanka. I would recommend this to everyone.

Wifi was patchy. Would be great to have towel change / rubbish empty if staying for more than 3 nights. Would be fantastic to provide a filtered water bottle refill station - this would cut down on plastic waste in a wonderful natural environment and save you from buying water bottles for guests breakfasts.

Wonderful helpful friendly family - couldn’t ask for more. They helped organise safari, onward transfers, provided a tuk tuk service (at a cost) and recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Clean rooms. Good pool. Amazing generous breakfast. Wonderful hospitable people.
