We stayed at Kalla Bongo for one night on our way from Colombo airport to Yala National Park. 5 minutes after arriving we were wishing we could stay for more than a night. I booked the stay on my own and as we were trying to find the hotel down a dirt path which seemed to lead nowhere everyone was... More

My famly (2 adults 2 children aged 5 & 9) recently stayed at Kalla Bongo, in two adjacent comfortable 'pool rooms' on the first floor, for three days at the end of our two weeek self-made tour around Sri Lanka. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The setting of the place on the lakeside is beautiful, with fantastic view from the... More

It was a relaxing experience and we took a risk as we didn't know much about the place. However, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the property. The view is excellent and its a very quiet place. The food is more suited to a western traveler but you can always speak to the staff and get dishes which... More

Kalla bongo was a very comfortable place to stay with our 2 young children. We had 2 rooms beside each other next to the pool which was old but serviced us well.

Although arriving late, Melvin, the owner, was there to welcome us and personally show us to our room, which was cool and comfortable. The setting of this hotel is stunning, overlooking the lagoon and provides... More

Just gutted that we could spend more time there. Melvin the owner was at the reception when we arrived late at night. Not something you... More

We were supposed to stay there 3 nights but 1 was enough... The place is absolutely gorgeous and seemed so quiet. But around 1am loads of dogs started barking until the early morning and we couldn't sleep. We hadn't had such a horrible night in ages. We asked to check out the next morning and they were fine about it... More

We spent the last three nights of our round trip at Kalla Bongo. Located at a beautiful lake, around 2km from Hikkaduwa centre, this is a very peaceful and relaxing place, surrounded by nature. We liked the pool a lot, as it offered a great view on the lake and was never crowded during our stay. The service was excellent.... More
