Glimra eco lodge

“Aanrader!”

The stay is in the middle of nature, it’s beautiful and lush green. There are many animals around and you can see the lodge, very nice. You can go on the lake with a fisherman to see various animals, like birds, water buffalos, and elephants. The hospitality is very good, and the food is delicious! You’re also taken into the local life if you want, you can go to the market and cook together. Roshani and her husband are very kind. It’s truly an experience! It’s an eco‑lodge, so animals can come inside, the Wi‑Fi isn’t great, and the shower is cold, but that’s no problem because it’s very hot.

“Geweldig!”

The lodge sits in a truly unique lakeside spot, and we even went on a lovely boat safari with a local fisherman. Roshani and her husband are incredibly kind and passionate, having built a beautiful lodge. It was an amazing experience you have to have when you’re in Sri Lanka. The only downside was that there was no extra lamp in the hut, and of course there’s no hot water since it’s a back‑to‑basic eco‑lodge, so that’s something to keep in mind before booking.

The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, and the hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The area is very quiet and calm. We went kayaking for two days and it was amazing, and the food was very delicious. Thanks for the great space! All is good.

“Geweldig, aanrader!”

A beautiful location with an incredibly kind and hospitable owner who cooks wonderfully. This place is a must‑visit if you’re in Sri Lanka! It’s a unique spot by a nice body of water with a beautifully built cottage. There’s a nice story behind how this place was set up. Also, definitely go out on the water with a fishing boat! Nothing! Completely back to basics and it was fantastic!

“A memorable stay in the jungle.”

A hidden gem! This tiny, simple lodge is perfect for those who want to connect with nature and experience personal Sri‑Lankan hospitality. My wife and I stayed there for two nights and loved it. The location is amazing— the property sits in a sparsely populated area next to the National Park, so you feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle. Our room was literally meters from a beautiful lake that attracts many birds, peacocks, and a few monkeys. Early in the morning you can hear the jungle waking up with all its intensity—such a lovely experience. I had a nice swim at the lake, and the water was pleasant. Roshani, the young owner, was super friendly and helpful. She treated us like guests at a friend’s place instead of a hotel. When my wife felt ill with the flu, Roshani sent her husband to buy her medicine and was always checking on her. She arranged a tuk‑tuk to the National Park and a Jeep ride inside the park. Her homemade food was delicious—among the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. If you stay here, I highly recommend the lake safari. Roshani arranged it for us and it was super affordable. A local fisherman in a canoe picked us up early in the morning and took us for an hour and a half ride around the lake. We saw many types of birds, and while we didn’t see any wild elephants, they told us it’s not uncommon to spot them bathing. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay, but keep in mind this is a very simple, austere lodge. There’s no wifi or luxury of any kind, but that’s kind of the point! Everything was great!
