Good Karma Villa

The people where so friendly and helpful

Just the smell some time

What a lovely place to stay. Set in beautiful tropical gardens, it was such a treat to wake up each morning to the sounds of birds and monkeys in the trees. The villa feels very private and is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. A special thank you to Mr Shirley, who arranged a fantastic river safari for us. We were lucky enough to spot a baby crocodile, which was a real highlight. When we returned, a romantic dinner had been arranged for us, which was a lovely surprise. We also enjoyed a relaxing head massage - just what we needed. What we loved most was that the villa gives you a real feel for Sri Lankan life, away from the large tourist hotels. The food was excellent, but it was the staff who made our stay so memorable. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and nothing was ever too much trouble. And finally, a special mention to the villa dogs, the resident Dalmatians, who quickly became our friend. We'll miss them both!

I stayed for just one night and immediately wished I had planned to stay longer. One night simply isn't enough to fully appreciate the setting and beauty of this wonderful villa. The food was a real surprise and exceeded my expectations. However, what truly makes this place special is the staff. The care, attention, and genuine hospitality they provide ensure that you feel completely looked after throughout your stay. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I wandered out of the villa for a walk and was rewarded with a true slice of Sri Lankan life, far removed from the tourist trails and large resort hotels. It was wonderful to experience the local culture and surroundings in such an authentic way. This is a place where you can truly switch off, unwind, and enjoy exceptional service in a beautiful setting. I would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend staying for more than one night to fully experience everything it has to offer.

Wonderful Authentic Sri Lankan charm and beautiful tropical gardens. I had a great massage whilst listening to the birds in the background and was so lucky I saw two visiting monkeys. Complimentary tuk tuk to beach was great. Shirley the manager arranged a wonderful meal for us on both evenings and used spices from the garden. He explained all of the ingredients. They organised a meditation lesson for us at the Villa and we had a personal blessing from a Buddhist Monk. Our room overlooked the pool and beautiful gardens. We loved the setting of the villa and would recommend to anyone that appreciates true sri lankan hospitality at its best. recommend using their airport transfer - a knowledgeable driver and a very safe and modern vehicle - something we found hard to find in Sri Lanka. THANK YOU - we will be back.

Nothing - wished we had stayed earlier in our stay in Sri Lanka.
