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!

Wir verbrachten 2 Nächte zu in einer derTrigon Huts und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Es ist ein wahrer Juwel, die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet man kann seine Seele einfach baumeln lassen, entweder in der Sonne direkt am Strand oder auf einer der vielen schönen und schattigen Sitz- bzw. Liegemöglichkeiten im Schatten. Wärmstens zu empfehlen, wenn man nach Ruhe und Entspannung sucht.

The place was absolutely gorgeous—truly nothing negative to say. It struck the perfect balance between luxury and the warmth of home. The host, Jen, was proactive and incredibly responsive from the start, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The staff were exceptional, especially the villa manager, Ushan, who had an uncanny sense of when to be present and when to give us space. Even when not physically around, he ensured every request was met. The cook prepared amazing meals daily, and the entire property was spotless, with every amenity thoughtfully provided. We genuinely regretted only staying for four days—it simply wasn’t enough time in such a beautiful setting. We’re already planning to return. Bonus: it was unexpectedly fun spotting dragonflies around the property—just one of many charming touches.

Staying at Lakmali's place in Runakanda Forest is definitely one of my top 5 favorite places in Sri Lanka. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay there, especially with my mom, as it was her first time in Sri Lanka,and she absolutely loved every moment of it! The food was beyond incredible! Each meal was showcasing the rich and flavorful Sri Lankan cuisine. The peaceful and serene surroundings of the forest made it the perfect escape. It’s a truly tranquil place where we could relax, and the location was just ideal for enjoying authentic local experiences. We had the chance to pick tea just a short walk away from the cottage, a unique experience that we’ll never forget. We also had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people, and the warm hospitality made our stay feel special. My mom and I both agreed that it was a stay we’ll cherish forever. I can’t recommend Lakmali’s place highly enough for anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable experience in SL !

What a beautiful place. Light, airy with wonderful sea views. Nissanka and Damnika were stars. Always helpful and available. Great cooking. Easy walking everywhere. Will be back. Only slight downside was that the wifi was erratic which wasn’t great for working.

We had a great time at Tea House Villa. The place is very nice, in the middle on a jungle. The only downside is the way to get there is not very easy. You need a local driver to take you there - it's not very easy to get groceries or food. You need to plan this ahead. Other than that - the villa is very spacious and the pool was refreshing.

‏A Magical Stay in the Heart of Nature! ‏This place is absolutely stunning—right in the heart of nature, where you can truly breathe in peace and beauty with every moment. The atmosphere is calm, refreshing, and full of love. ‏Amir and Monika, the hosts, are simply amazing! They were in constant communication with us and responded quickly to anything we needed. Their kindness and hospitality made the experience even better. ‏Also, I have to mention—they have the best granola in the world! Seriously, don’t miss it. ‏Highly recommend this place if you’re looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

Pudubus hübsches, ganz modernes und komfortables Haus ist wirklich ein Juwel. Es ist neu gebaut, sehr schön mit Elementen im traditionellen Stil. Inneneinrichtung sehr geschmackvoll und alles sehr praktisch. Dadurch hat es eine ganz persönliche, individuelle Atmosphäre. Keine durchschnittliche Ferienbleibe, sondern man fühlt sich wie zu Hause. Alles ist durchdacht. Es gibt rein gar nichts auszusetzen. Kategorie: ideal. Gefallen hat uns außerdem die zauberhafte Umgebung. Das Haus steht inmitten eines großen landwirtschaftlichen Gartens. Es ist tatsächlich wie im Pardies und sehr ruhig. Pudubu und sein Bruder sind unglaublich nett und hilfreich, jederzeit ansprechbar und dabei diskret und unaufdringlich. Auch hier: ideale Gastgeber. Wir haben uns richtigehend angefreundet und werden sicher wieder dort wohnen, falls wir wieder nach Sri Lanka reisen. Was sicherlich der Fall sein dürfte bei solcher Gastfreundschaft. Wir haben dort auch oft gegessen. Auch das war exzellent.
