Aligama Cottage

Great location with rooms overlooking the lake, if you love nature and want peace & quiet, this is the place for you. The staff, Costa & Gnana are fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and Costa organised our safari to Wasgamua national park & a tuk tuk tour. Gnana is a very good cook and the food was very tasty.

The description of the facilities is misleading. There was no tea/coffee maker, fan or electric kettle in our rooms & the wi-fi only works in the main building and sometimes not at all. The air conditioning in one room was broken - we were offered another room with working air con but did not want it as we had specifically asked for the two rooms which are right in front of the lake. One of rooms was very damp. We feel Aligama could with some refurbishment and a little TLC to make it more comfortable.

Extrem ruhige Lage (das Cottage liegt recht abgelegen idyllisch ausserhalb der Dörfer an einem schönen See), sehr freundliches zuvorkommendes Personal, super leckeres einheimisches Essen.

Kein Wifi

Superbly situated 2 bedroom/2 bathroom cottage by very peaceful lake, ideal for birdwatching. Also very handy to visit Wasgamuwa N.P., about 15 minutes' drive away - the property arranged a local jeep and driver for us. Traditional village location, nice to wander around - easier to find in daylight! Kind local people cooked good food for us and took us on a most enjoyable special bird walk through the village and by the lake. Owner very helpful indeed via WApp. Take your own mosi net. We would definitely return.

We were perfectly happy with our cottage - this is not a grand hotel, it is a simple lakeside place in a village, but some visitors may have found the bathroom showing a few signs of persistent humidity!

Our rooms overlooked the Lagoon, which was amazing. So much nature, you could sit for hours by the Lagoon watching all the activity! Great location for going to the national park. Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was nice and plentiful. If you want fabulous scenery and peace and quiet, this is the place for you.

It could do with a few more staff to help give it the attention it deserves. Costa and Gnana do a great job, but could do with extra help. There was no WiFi as stated on booking.com.
