Sri Lanka: soggiorni in baite

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und die Gastgeber sehr zuvorkommend& nett. Pubudu war sehr gut erreichbar & hat uns spontan einen Tuk Tuk Driver organisiert zur Abholung vom Bahnhof , mit dem wir dann auch die Umgebung erkundet haben! Dies würden wir auch empfehlen - Mr. Gamage war unfassbar nett, hat uns super viel gezeigt und erklärt& uns am nächsten Tag auch wieder zum Bahnhof gebracht. Würden wir jedem empfehlen, der wie wir , nur eine Nacht dort verbringt , das Angebot zu nutzen. Der Ausflug mit Mr. Gamage war für uns ein absolutes Highlight!

Dana was an amazing host! Very nice & helpful! He had the place and the hot tub nice and warm ready for us to use upon arrival. Definitely would recommend

What an amazing place. It’s a rustic and well-designed A frame hut. Cozy, warm (with the log-burner) and *what a view* especially from the hot tub. Yes, it’s isolated, and the last bit of the journey is a walk up a steep hill, but it’s worth it. And Dana and his team will help with your luggage. And anything else you need. It is high and you may find yourself in or above the clouds. The air is a bit thinner, and outside the room humidity is high so things might feel damp. But that’s nature ;) Big thanks to Praba too, for cooking us bespoke dinner and breakfasts, and delivering beer to the door as well. And for the tasting tour of her kitchen garden. Overall, a fantastic place to unwind, enjoy the scenery and escape city life.

Diese Unterkunft war unser absolutes Highlight in jeglicher Hinsicht. Nicht nur, dass sie unsere hohen Erwartungen bei weitem Übertroffen hat, auch der Gastgeber Duminda, genannt Dudu ist ein ganz besonderer Mensch. Die Chemie hat von Anfang an gestimmt. Dudu ist ein äußert empathischer zuvorkommender Mensch, war allzeit zur Stelle und konnte uns viele wertvolle Tipps geben. Die vielen Tipps und Informationen zu Land und Leuten sowie zur Historie Sri Lankas waren äußert profund und wertvoll. Er fuhr uns täglich mit seinem Tuk Tuk wohin wir wollten und holte uns auch wieder ab. Auch bei einer Erkrankung zeigte er sich absolut fürsorglich empfohl uns die besten Ärzte und Apotheken und fuhr uns sogar zu einer ayurvedischen Professorin um Medikamte gegen Dengue-Fieber zu besorgen. Das Ambiente der Cabanas ist sehr geschmackvoll umgeben von einem wundervollen Garten der wie ein Biotop wirkt. Wir konnten allerlei Tiere und Pflanzen beobachten, die wir zu vor noch nie gesehen haben.

Amazing cabine with a stunning view to the rock. Peter was really attentive and helpful. Many thanks to Sumit for the help and to raja for the transport!

Staying in this amazing treehouse was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Completely open to the surrounding nature, we could hear the sounds of the wildlife throughout the night — from birds to insects to mammals — and it was fascinating to notice how the sounds changed as the night went on. It really felt like being cut off from the outside world, in the best possible way. The host was very welcoming and gave us great recommendations for local activities and places to eat. A magical stay in the heart of nature!

Staying at Monsoon Eco Lodge was a great experience for the tranquility, beautiful garden, very nice accommodation and the great food we had for breakfast and sometimes for diner. Wishy will do her outmost to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We’ll also greatly miss the beautiful view in the rice fields ! Thanks for everything !

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in dieser idyllischen Unterkunft mit Meerblick. Es war der perfekte Ort, um zur Ruhe zu kommen und die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Von hier aus sind die traumhaften Strände von Trincomalee mit einem eigenen Tuk Tuk oder Roller in nur 15-25 Minuten erreichbar. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der kulinarische Genuss: Gegen einen kleinen Aufpreis kann man Frühstück, Mittag- oder Abendessen bestellen, das entweder von Saman selbst oder seinem Koch zubereitet wird. Es war mit Abstand das beste Essen, das wir während unserer Reise in Sri Lanka genießen durften – unglaublich lecker und in riesigen Portionen! Die Unterkunft selbst ist noch sehr neu und in einwandfreiem Zustand. Saman war jederzeit erreichbar, äußerst freundlich und begrüßte uns mit einem erfrischenden Willkommensdrink. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können diese Unterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

Very nice family and great room

We booked with Malika because we wanted an authentic home stay experience in a quiet, rural setting and we found exactly this and more! From the moment we were handed a delicious, ice-cold, homemade lemonade on arrival, Malika made us feel like part of her family. Our 3 days with her were some of the best of our trip. The cabana is beautiful and rustic but still very comfortable with good facilities. There's no AC but we slept really well under the mosquito net and fan. The location is great - 3 mins walk to the beach (it's not safe to swim there) and in a quiet corner of Panama village. We spent our days walking on the beach and exploring the friendly village. Our evenings were spent chatting with Malika in her kitchen as she prepared the most delicious rice and curry dinners. Malika also arranged a safari for us to Kumana national park. We invited her and her family to join us and it was a very special day out Thank you for everything Malika! We had the best time & we'll miss u

Staying at Maheera’s Airbnb in Ahangama was an unforgettable experience. Tucked away in a quiet village, the home is surrounded by nature — peaceful, with only the sound of birds chirping, and even the occasional peacock sighting — yet just a few minutes from the beach. What truly made our stay special was Maheera and his wonderful family. Their warmth and hospitality were unmatched. Maheera checked in on us every day and helped with everything we needed, making sure we were always comfortable. His mum and dad greeted us with big smiles and waves every time we left or returned, which made us feel like part of their family. It wasn’t just a place to stay — it felt like home. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, nature, and heartfelt hospitality

Wow, this place is incredible. The hospitality of the hosts is second to none, with delicious breakfasts of traditional food and fresh fruit delivered every morning. The bungalow is quite spacious, very tropical and located only 5 minute walk from the stunning Goyambokka Beach. There is also a scooter that can be rented for a mere 2,500 Ruppees a day, meaning that it is easy to explore the area on your terms. You cannot find anything close to this quality for such a low price. We cannot recommend highly enough

Schöner und moderner Bungalow in einer coolen Restaurantanlage. Bungalow war sehr sauber mit einwandfreien Badezimmer. Man hat eine kleine Terrasse mit kleinem grünen Garten als Abgrenzung zum anliegenden Restaurant. Das Restaurant ist auch super, nette Leute, gutes Essen, außerdem ein co-working Space, eine Eisdiele und viel Platz zum entspannen. Was man wissen sollte ist, das im Restaurant natürlich Musik läuft. Ich persönlich fand die Musik sehr gut und nicht störend. Die Lage kann nicht besser sein, alles in direkter Umgebung fußläufig erreichbar… Strand, Supermarkt, ATM, etliche Cafés und Restaurants. Ich hatte sehr gute und entspannte 4 Nächte dort.

Great location on top of a hill. In the middle between 2 main beaches. Great location a bit more quiet than in the main road. Host was very friendly

Outstanding experience: Anton welcomed us with freshly squeezed watermelon juice, our big suite was perfectly clean and very nicely decorated with his unique photos. The beds were super comfortable, the A/C was doing a good job to cool us down and the shower was working fine also. Anton even accompanied us to the poperty’s lake and helped me to spot some of Sri Lanka’s colorful birds. But the best was yet to come: The next day, Anton guided us on a private tour to Wilpattu NP that I will always remember. Thanks to his patience and passion for wildlife we saw a sloth bear, two leopards, one of them drinking from the lake for quite a long time, lots of colorful birds, monkeys and much more. Besides he provided the safari jeep with a very good driver and prepared delicious home cooked meals for very reasonable prices. We will never forget this wonderful experience and can only highly recommend him and his place!

Magical place! Highly recommended! You'll be living right in the jungle. Listen to the singing of birds. See the starry sky at night. You will see monkeys, peacocks, chipmunks, etc. as close as possible in natural conditions. Finding this place is not easy, but in reality it is very close to Wijaya beach, with a natural pool, in which there are no waves and you can safely swim, by the way, sometimes even with huge turtles.
