What a fantastic trip - Gorgeous villa, staff, and stay! We just returned from a truly memorable trip to the Lake Koggala House. Our group of 4 couples arrived after Christmas to celebrate our friends’ wedding and New Year’s festivities. The villa exceeded our already high expectations. What a treat! It is even more beautiful and immaculate than the photos. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and beautifully designed. There are many sitting areas including a spacious air-conditioned movie room/ living room. The views are amazing! Big windows, bedroom terraces, and open spaces allow guests to see plenty of scenery. We’ve stayed in some lovely places, but this house blew us away. The pool overlooks the lake and a sprawling, well-kept garden. There are float toys and relaxing places to sun bathe. The villa team (Vijitha, Chef Ranga, Chandra, etc.) worked hard to ensure our comfort, safety, and fun. Their warmth made us feel like family. From the start, communication with the House Manager, Emma, was fast, easy, professional, pleasant, and informative. We felt at ease booking the house despite the busy Christmas and New Year holiday season. Emma sent tons of helpful information about the accommodation, area, and villa team. Thanks to her help, we were well-prepared for a streamlined arrival. Emma even graciously helped one guest who needed a sudden change of drivers during a pre-arrival trip. This happened right around Christmas, yet Emma was able to provide a new driver to pick-up our friend who was staying 4 hours away in Yala National Park. Thank you, Emma! Emma was also on-hand to answer any questions via text or email. What world-class hospitality! Laundry, yoga, and massage service is available. We also enjoyed a lovely boat ride around the lake visiting various sites. BIG thank you to Chef Ranga who created incredible meals! Wow – each dish was a culinary delight. We loved gathering around the open dining area over one of Chef Ranga’s gourmet meals. He made everything from a Sri Lankan breakfast to homemade pizzas to savory meat-veggie hand pies to a whole decadent seafood dinner. We were beyond spoiled by his food and attention. Vijitha was also key in helping organize our stay. He coordinated our arrival with our drivers as the house is tucked back within the lake area. Vijitha was always there to assist with anything that needed to be done. The ladies (Chandra and another lovely lady) took care of the cleaning and laundry. They couldn't have been nicer or more eager to help. One day before we realized it, they even grabbed our heavy shopping bags as we ran inside from an afternoon rain! The whole team provided 5-star hospitality!! The Koggala Lake House offers fantastic value-for-money. We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend others to stay. Thank you again to the villa team!

With a group of 6 internet entrepreneurs we worked from this villa for a week. The villa looks better in real live then on the photo's on airbnb. We were taken really good care of by Ranga and his team. What we liked was that they took initiative when making us food and drinks. This really made the whole experience that much more special! Internet connection is good for Sri Lanka and was enough for us working from our laptops. Pool is big and nice temperature. We will not forget the friendly and helpful staff and wish them all the best in the future! Peter and the rest of the Dutchies :)

Truly a relaxing place. Rangas cooking is better then most of the places outside. Could easily be a repeat place

We had a wonderful 3-night stay. The pool, living and dining area areas are lush and open, and the views of Koggala lake are beautiful. The pool is the perfect temperature, the wifi is pretty strong in the main area (a bit weaker in the bedrooms) and two floors of living space makes it great for a big group. The beds are pretty firm and overall comfortable, and special touches around the property like bluetooth speakers for us to listen to our own music were appreciated. Ranga was fantastic - showed us Sri Lankan culture, accommodated special meal requests and cooked us some of the best food we've had on our trip to date. It can get a big buggy in the evening, but as long as you have bug spray and the citronella candles the hosts provide, you'll be completely comfortable. Booking and communication with the hosts was easy and quick. We loved our vacation here.
