Eco-chic lodge in a beautiful natural setting.
The lodge is in a natural setting with fantastic views of a mountain. The bungalows are Eco-chic and set far apart for privacy with a separate sitting area and outdoor terrace.

The staff was extremely accommodating to our needs, the naturalists were great at their jobs, and the meals were of high quality. We stayed in five different places over eight days in Sri Lanka, and if we had it to do over again, we would have stayed at least three nights. This place is as much about the experience as the wildlife - it is not a commercialized atmosphere where the "wild" animals have been trained by tourism to tolerate tourists, and while we saw less, it still exceeded our expectations. Reminded me slightly of African safaris of 35 years ago - some wildlife, great gin and tonics, and few people. The only critique is that they really need some form of signage off the main road, especially since there is no cell service in the immediate vicinity (also a perk!) to call them when you get close.

This place is simply amazing. Normally the pictures only show the best bits in the best light but I can assure you it really lives up to its description. The property consists of 10/11 ‘bungalows’ sitting in their own little secluded plot surrounding a central lodge where the restaurant and pool are. The rooms are beautiful and large with doors onto a little terrace with your own piece of jungle to sit and enjoy. Just from here we spotted about a dozen species of butterfly, lots of birds including roosting peacocks, little skinks and a big monitor lizard mooching about. The bathroom is beautifully furnished and a little alfresco whilst still maintaining privacy. Solar hot water was the hottest of all the hotels on my 5 week trip and shower pressure was great. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is offered and is exceptional. They also offer a breakfast picnic with the boat safari and a picnic lunch with the jeep safari. Both amazing but I won’t say anymore and ruin the surprise! We went on both the safaris, we were the only boat on the lake save for a few fishermen setting their nets and saw loads of elephants and plenty of birds in a lovely peaceful setting. On the jeep safari, we were the first into the park, at 2pm and and I think the only tourists that day! Our guide Charlie was brilliant and so knowledgable with a great sense of humour, (well done on the coconut in one)! A great thanks to Sam as well who guided me up to the top of monkey mountain.

Wonderful experience in Sri Lankan wilderness
We had a lovely time at Gal Oya lodge. The whole team made us feel so welcome and it was a lovely place to take our 18month old daughter. The guided walks were a highlight as was the delicious food.

Lovely hotel for getting close to nature.
This is a lovely hotel well designed to blend into its natural surroundings. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the naturalists are amazing. Both the jeep and boat safaris were fantastic with great sightings of wild elephants, the opportunity to walk in the national park was a real bonus as was the chance to meet and walk with a tribal elder.

Personnel adorable. Aux petits soins pour nous. Un lieu qui ne manque d'aucun charme. Très regardant sur l'écologie. Tout est fait pour ne pas utiliser de ressources inutiles. Le chef fait une cuisine excellente. Seul petit regret de ne pas avoir pu faire le safari en bateau.

Nice private jungle hotel
This hotel is unique because of the position in the jungle. No phone and internet available. Be aware to take enough cash with you for paying safaris and food/drinks, because they charge a extra fee for using your card due to the absince of internet connectoin with the bank. We recommanded the boatsafari, despite being quite expensive, it is worth every dollar.
