Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Koggala Lake

Our stay here was comfortable and pleasant. The host was so kind and generous. Harshani even went out of her way to prepare breakfast and lunch for us which was delicious and homely. We felt right at home at the stay. The stay is 4mins walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The host was very responsive and the stay looks just like in the pictures -clean. Highly recommend this stay!

Awesome place. The host is very helpful and can organize anything you need like scooter etc. nice location just off the main road. Bed comfortable and the AC works well. Really great experience

Staying with Nalaka and his family was truly one of the best experiences we’ve had on our trip. From the very first moment, we didn’t just feel welcome, we felt like we were visiting old friends. They have such big hearts and were always there with a smile, a kind word, or a helping hand. The place itself was even more beautiful than the photos. Everything was super clean, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. But what made our stay unforgettable was the way Nalaka and his family treated us. We had so many lovely conversations, and it always felt like they genuinely cared about us and our experience. He also cooked for us a few times, and the food was honestly some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. So if you’re looking for a real, honest, and heartwarming Sri Lankan experience, not just a place to sleep, but a place to connect, then you should definitely book this Airbnb. We’ll always remember this stay, and we’re so grateful we got to meet Nalaka and his wonderful family.

Unser Aufenthalt in den Banana Leaf Apartments war einfach fantastisch! Die Unterkunft ist ruhig gelegen und umgeben von wunderschöner Natur. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, stilvoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Ein riesengrosses Dankeschön geht an Amila. Er war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer für uns da, wenn wir Fragen oder Wünsche hatten. Seine Herzlichkeit und Gastfreundschaft haben unseren Aufenthalt wirklich besonders gemacht. Man spürt, dass ihm das Wohl seiner Gäste am Herzen liegt. Auch ein grosses Dankeschön an Hannah für die liebevolle Kommunikation und Organisation! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können diesen Ort wärmstens empfehlen.

We had a great time at Joanne’s place. The house is centrally located with all good restaurants, supermarket, currency exchange stores and local market being just a stone’s throw away from the house. Joanne is extremely responsive and is very friendly. The folks down at the ice cream parlor are warm too. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to anybody who is looking to explore Ahangama!

Отличное жилье! Отдыхали с друзьями, было очень комфортно. Просторные комнаты, большое общее помещение, где комфортно проводить вечера. Отличная локация, всего в 5ти минутах езды, до центра Унаватуна. Очень чистое жилье. Было все необходимое, в том числе кухня и стиральная машинка. Невероятный вид на сад из номера и общей зоны, очень красиво. Наблюдали за обезьянками спешащими куда-то утром и вечером, видимо ходили на работу) Нас не беспокоили, как и мы их) Мы в восторге! Спасибо хозяину за отзывчивость и такое приятное время-провождение на Шри-Ланке!

nice enclosed private space, Thuruni was very clear and easy to communicate with. She also aided with anything extra you may need. the space has everything you need and can tell it's extremely well though through. there is a little bit of building work which they did point out but this is due to low season

Logement super sympa, juste en face de la mer on s’endort avec le bruit des vagues.

We (family of four with young kids) came across this house and loved it, but it didn’t have a bed for our one year old daughter, so we sent Vic a message and he went out of his way to find one. Great start! When we got there, the house was even better than the pictures give away: private villa on the quiet outskirts of Ahangama, but a five minute tuk tuk ride will get you to the town’s centre where all the restaurants and such are. Modern bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, nice kitchen and living room, beautiful pool, huge patio with a roof over it, monkeys in the trees in the morning etc. etc. I contacted Vic several times during our stay and always got quick replies with great advice - places to eat, tuk tuk drivers, surf coach and places to see. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again myself some day!

Great place, especially the pool, AC and fans. Well located within short walking distance of Ahangama main street. Close to Rolling Pin (200m), which is a great bakery - can recommend the croissants and brownies. Also close to O Yummy, a restaurant serving fabulous Lebanese food, including delivery at a small extra cost (300LKR) - beats Uber Eats. Also convenient to both Pilates studios in Ahangama, being Pura Pilates and Ulu Pilates. With all of these amenities close, it is still private, quiet and well set up with very helpful host, including his family helping out. The pool is an absolute bonus when you get hot ‘n sweaty and the hot water to rinse after is lovely. Would recommend without hesitation for a great stay in Ahangama, or on the South Coast generally.

Kindest host. Very accommodating and always responsive and helpful.

We loved our stay! The garden and pool were terrific, the staff was very nice and the Place was super clean!

Lahiru and his family were amazing hosts and so kind to us! They moved over our bags from their other property (shady cottage) while we were away for the day and even came to help us when we ran out of gas on our bike. They were so friendly and we felt right at home. It’s a beautiful peaceful location that is still close to ahanagama and kabalana beach which has lots of restaurants, surfing, bars. You can rent a bike so you can get around easily. Thank you for everything you did for our stay! :)

Really beautiful villa, great attention to design detail. Service was friendly and helpful and we can recommend the home cooking. The food was delicious!

Herausragende Unterkunft, wir haben mit 5 Personen drei Nächte verbracht. Das Haus ist in sehr gutem Zustand, sehr große und schöne Zimmer. Wohn- und Essbereich großzügig, modern und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sehr freundliches Team, Frühstück nach Wahl, gut und frisch zubereitet. WLAN, Klimaanlage, TV, Boombox und Geräte neu und funktionstüchtig. Bäder sehr schön und geräumig. Pool und Garten sehr gepflegt und groß, Meer- und Strandzugang. Insgesamt eine besondere Villa die den Preis wert ist. Vielen Dank ans Team und die Vermieter!

Words cannot even describe how amazing our stay was. Dilan, his mom and his brother made us feel right at home and so friendly to be around. It was their personalities and their open hearts that made our stay extra special. One morning I asked Dilans brother to make us a dhal curry to go with our string hoppers and it was delicious. He was kind enough to make sure we were well taken care of, as if we were their own. The place itself was spacious, comfortable and just simply beautiful. Most of all, it was so peaceful and we loved their kitty cats and their dog Shane. You can see that the brothers put a lot of love and thought into the space that they build and it’s so beautiful to see their hard work put into it for us to stay, appreciate and enjoy. Overall, we loved our stay and will be back next year, while recommending them to everyone.

We stayed at Sanjayas place for four nights. The family was super kind and helped us with local advice such as restaurants and must-sees close by. They arranged transport to the house and again when we left. Their hospitality was warm and made us feel welcome. We would definitly recommend this place to others.

Very nice stay with this lovely family! They are very loving and truely cared about me. They made some food and shared it. Everything what I needed was there. Would highly recommend as a homestay.

Wir waren einen Monat im Mango House. Die Unterkunft befindet sich im Erdgeschoss mit Garten, der Gastgeber Chanuka wohnt mit seiner Familie darüber. Wir haben uns von Anfang an willkommen und wohl gefühlt, die Familie ist sehr herzlich, gastfreundlich und immer für Fragen und Anliegen offen. Sie haben uns auch zum traditionellen Neujahrs-Frühstück eingeladen, ebenso haben wir einmal gemeinsam gekocht, was eine tolle Erfahrung war. Die Wohnung bietet alles was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt, ist sauber und die Betten sind sehr bequem. Die Lage ist perfekt gelegen, um mit dem Tuktuk schnell in Galle Fort beziehungsweise Unawatuna Beach zu sein. Ebenso hatten wir es als Medizinstudentinnen für unser Praktikum nicht weit bis zum Karapitiya Teaching Hospital. Wir können einen Aufenthalt bei Chanuka und seiner Familie nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Great apartment, had all the basic necessities! The host and family were so incredibly helpful! Gave us a number for a great tuck tuck driver, warned us about the rambunctious monkeys that like to stop by, tried to keep us up to date on the power outages and more. It’s a lovely little jungle villa, with that being said, jungle = lots of bugs, there’s no way around it. Just don’t leave any open food out and that will help lessen the bug situation. Also, mirissa beach (great spot for restaurants and beach days) is a bit too far to walk, so I’d recommend getting a scooter or a bike and the host has a person for that too!! All around, would stay again if we come back to Sri Lanka! Host and family were so so so helpful and friendly!

We experienced excellent hospitality from Mr Nihal and his wife during our very short stay at Galle. The apartment was exactly as advertised, spacious, squeaky clean and all listed amenities functional. Bed was comfortable and air conditioning in the room was a plus to beat the humid Galle weather. The area was quiet, peaceful and a short tuk tuk ride away from the Fort. The hosts were extremely helpful when we had trouble figuring out the shower and they also provided us with tea and snacks before our early morning check-out. We truly appreciate their kindness and thoughtfulness towards their guests. Highly recommend this stay at Galle.

Very worth for the price! Easy to walk to nearby beaches and cafes. Definitely hard to sleep in at all since the road gets quite loud with busses honking. The house is next to the forest/jungle so there are many small bugs like ants in the bathroom and sometimes the bedroom but it’s not so bad, just something to be aware of. The power went out a few times during our stay but apparently that’s pretty normal for this region especially if it is raining. Overall would still recommend for good location and price. Padma was able to do our laundry as well for a small fee

The old chilli house really did feel like a home from home. In a great location Kris and his family were very warm and welcoming. Kris is a natural host and had contacts for anything we wanted to do. From Tuk Tuk and Scooter rides when needed to his amazing knowledge of the area. We were so lucky to experience this little slice of paradise. The old chilli house has beautiful rooms, with attention to small, homey details. Do not hesitate to book, it’s a popular airbnb for a reason!

Tolle Unterkunft in Weligama, es war alles sauber und so wie auf den Bildern! :)
