Amazing hotel, with the best bathroom we ever had in Sri Lanka. Comfortable bed. Perfect location, in the fort, close to so many restaurants and shops. Even if you are right in the center, the room was super quiet. A/C and ceiling fan, very useful. Would definitely recommend!

It was an amazing stay, biggest thanks to the owner Kumudu and his staff. The location of the property is great - everything is easy reachable by tuk tuk - the Galle center, great beaches, restaurants and so on. We really loved our superior deluxe room with jungle view, we even saw monkeys up close from our terrace! Room had an amazing outdoor shower which we loved very much, room was very spacious and equipped with everything that you might need like the shampoo, shower gel, soap, hairdryer, high quality mosquito net, tea kettle etc. We also loved traditional Sri Lankan breakfast every morning. Overall it was a very peaceful, relaxing stay with a beautiful surroundings and a feeling like you are staying in the middle of a jungle. Thank you once again Kumudu, our biggest recommendations to stay in Ceylon Olive Galle when in Sri Lanka.

Ginganga Lodge

Hotel in Galle

X
Xavier
From

Tucked away from the hum of the main road, Ginganga Lodge is not merely a retreat—it is an immersion into the poetry of Sri Lanka’s forest. Here, nature composes its own symphony; the rustling leaves, the chatter of squirrels, and the call of distant birds weave an atmosphere both tranquil and alive. Dappled light filters through the trees, casting ever-changing patterns upon exquisitely curated interiors, where every element seems chosen with a deliberate, almost intuitive sense of harmony. From the moment you arrive, a warmth envelops you—not just from the tropical air but from the staff, who welcome you with the kind of attentiveness that feels more familial than formal. They hear your car long before you reach the entrance, waiting to greet you as though you are returning home. This level of care extends through every facet of the lodge, most notably in the details: the artistry with which the fruit at breakfast is cut, the thoughtful placement of a single, perfect flower, the way each piece of furniture seems to belong to both time and place. The rooms are sanctuaries of refinement—spacious, tastefully adorned, and seamlessly integrated with their surroundings. The bathroom, a masterpiece in itself, features an outdoor shower where one bathes under a canopy of leaves, enveloped in the intoxicating scent of the forest. It is the kind of space that makes departure a reluctant affair, for leaving Ginganga Lodge is not just leaving a hotel; it is stepping away from an experience, a feeling, a reverie made real. For those who seek beauty, serenity, and a place where nature and design exist in perfect dialogue, Ginganga Lodge is nothing short of extraordinary.

    The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

    If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

    The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

    We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

    Probably one of my favourite accomodations while in Sri Lanka. The WIFI was excellent (router in room) the shower was great and hot. The room was big and clean. It is outside of Galle, but its so peaceful, you more or less have a private beach. The room was great, the view from the room was amazing, I enjoyed sitting on the balcony and just soaking it all up There are loads of good restaurants just a few minutes walk. The family are very kind and have the most genuine smiles. I would 100% stay here again if I am back in Sri Lanka

    The property is perfectly located right in the heart of Galle. It’s exactly 1km from Galle Fort and very close to Unawatuna and Dewata beach. The property which is a house over 100 years old has been meticulously newly decorated. The rooms and the toilets were stunning and functional. Honestly I didn’t feel I was I. Galle as the house is massive with sprawling gardens a nice pool. The food and the attentive staff made my visit perfect. Sri Lankan food is highly recommended

    Wonderfully located within the fort. Its a stones throw away from the lighthouse, many restaurants, and is next to a small swimming beach. The hotel itself is really beautiful, very nice rooms and the best pillows in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was excellent and a lovely way to start the day eating in the courtyard. The staff are super friendly and work hard to ensure a comfortable stay. Thank you to Andrew and the team and we hope to see you again

    Indika is a passionate owner and manager, who serves his customers with great care in this, his personally own created, guesthouse. This is not a chic boutique hotel, but a small, simple and personal ‘home’, coming as a reasonably low cost, perfect for backpackers who would enjoy basically ‘sleeping on top of the waves’. You will not be closer to the beautiful waters of Sri Lanka. Food, service, WiFi, beds are excellent!

    Great location within Galle Fort, has beautiful decor, including a lovely bookshelf. Side note: I recommend having meals at the Church Street Social restaurant that's really close to the hotel. I enjoyed their Rice & Curry out of all the rice and curries I've had in Sri Lanka.
