I have been very fortunate to stay at the Ging Oya Lodge on a number of occasions throughout the years. To put it lightly, it is, by far, one of the most charming and hospitable places. The architecture is subtle and very well blended with the jungle, the food is excellent, the rooms are comfortable and private, and the hospitality... More

I was traveling for three weeks in Srilanka. And stayed in many different places. And with no doubt I can say that Ging oya lodge was the best. I enjoyed staying here so much. Everything was perfect. The place (by the see, by the canals surounding jungles). Not far from the city and surrounding with friendly local peoples. The owners... More

This guesthouse is run by a Belgian couple. It is a very nice place to start your journey in Sri Lanka. The owners are very helpful and friendly. It is located outside of Negombo and is surrounded by a beautiful tropical garden. The breakfast is delicious. It was the best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka. The owner cooks a... More

Upon arrival we were welcomed by a very disorganized manager. Besides the fact that she acted rude towards our driver (a racist manner which was confirmed the following day by the owners’ behavior towards their staff), the management also did not offer the service to be expected from a 50 euro lodge. What we could not imagine was that it... More

Ging Oya Lodge is a place you feel at home immediately. Lovely pool and rooms but the best bit is the food. Leo cooking is so good and we will keep returning to this lovely lodge. Stayed last year for 5 nights and loved it, back this year for 2 nights. Went out early both morning which wasn’t a problem... More

Leo and Myrjam give also information... More

We spent the beginning and the end of our trip to Sri Lanka at the Ging Oya Lodge which is only a short taxi ride from the international airport. As soon as the taxi (arranged by the lodge) dropped us off we felt immediately at home with the warm welcome given by Leo, Myrjam and the dogs. The rooms are... More

This is my fifth visit to Sri Lanka and I have finally found the perfect place. A short trip from the airport to a peaceful paradise with beautiful gardens, an excellent pool, wonderful hosts and great food. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Our family (kids 6 & 9) stayed at the start and end of our holiday last winter. We all loved it. Leo and Myrjam are charming and interesting hosts who go out of their way to accommodate you. The location, hospitality and ambience were all spot on. Relaxing, friendly and unpretentious – all you need. We initially stayed as it... More
