Tri by Amaya

Tri Koggala is a fantastic and quiet place in the middle of the jungle. The service is amazing! The hotel and surroundings are beautiful. 10 min drive to the beach by Tuk Tuk. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Hopefully we will be coming back. // Simon and Caroline

You sometimes find hotels that are just perfect and Tri by Koggala is surely one of them. From the entrance we understood that this is a very peaceful property that is away from the Noice and business of the towns. We were greeted with great smiles and everyone was so nice to us. I came with my wife to celebrate my birthday and the hotel staff was extra kind to allow us even early check-in. I had read from the reviews that the food was amazing and I was still surprised at how delicious the food was. Every bite was splendid and we will surely miss this food. We also went on a fabulous boat ride around the islands and the staff accompanied us were very good with their explanations. The next day morning was my birthday and the hotel staff had done an amazing decoration near the lake which allowed us to take some stunning birthday pictures. We took many pictures around the property and had the best birthday celebration possible. My wife accidentally broke a glass and we offered to pay for it but the staff was so nice to say no and allowed us to stay past our regular 11 checkout time as well just for us to enjoy the day a bit more. I am extremely delighted that I picked Tri by Koggala for my birthday and will surely visit this serene place again soon. It's a must visit place in Sri Lanka for the view and the hospitality.

The hidden gem in the Ceylon Cinnamon Country. Nestled in a lush Cinnamon plantation on the banks of a large water expanse of the Koggala stream was a treat for calming senses. Delicious food prepared then and there from lical produce. Tea with cinnamon powder sprinkle out of this world!

The staff at Tri Koggala treated us like royalty. I highly recommend staying here. It's a lovely oasis on one of the most beautiful lakes. The food was delicious, their boat ride was relaxing, and swimming in their pool was divine. Thank you!!!

Excellent place. Highly recommend. Good food, courtesy staff. Well maintain garden. Good room service. Nice architecture and impressive views all over the hotel site. Incredible catering to our various needs and a beautiful array of wildlife such as birds and small animals

Our stay at this small hotel near Koggala Lake was a mix of stunning natural beauty and several missed opportunities to deliver a premium experience. Pros: The location is truly unique, set directly on Koggala Lake in a completely secluded and peaceful environment. With only a few rooms, the hotel offers a quiet atmosphere with plenty of space at the infinity pool and good service from the staff. The views of Koggala Lake from both the room and the pool are breathtaking. The Sri Lankan breakfast was incredibly delicious and highly recommended – an absolute highlight of our stay! The entire staff was always very friendly and helpful. Cons: The staff experience was mixed. While many young employees brought enthusiasm to their roles, they appeared to be less experienced in providing hospitality service. Some spoke very good English, others were tough to understand but conversation was always possible. Despite staying for several days at a small hotel, the staff didn’t seem to know how long we were staying and asked multiple times the same questions, which made the overall management feel a bit disorganized. The staff at the pool were not intrusive, which was appreciated, but they were also very reserved. We often had to go actively to the bar to order, as poolside service was not proactive. The hotel is accessed via narrow paths, which can be challenging, though it is navigable with Google Maps. The coffee machine was broken throughout our 4-day stay and was not repaired, leaving no coffee options available. We read, that the coffee would have been very good and therefore this experience is disappointing. The selection of drinks was limited, with several items on the menu unavailable. Given the length of our stay, we felt that restocking should have been possible. The menu was very small, which is commendable for ensuring fresh dishes, but even within this limited selection, some items were some days unavailable. This was disappointing. Our room had poorly sealed doors, allowing wildlife to enter. (bugs, leeches, geckos, etc.) While we understand the natural setting, better sealing (especially on the entry and balcony doors) would enhance comfort. There was no minibar or tea/coffee-making facilities in the room, which is unexpected for a hotel in this price range. The rooms are very secluded and therefore not close to the main area and it is therefore not easy to get something on your own. Overall: The stunning location and serene atmosphere are the standout features of this hotel, along with the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. However, maintenance issues, limited dining and beverage options, and some outdated amenities detract from the overall experience. With more attention to detail and investment in facilities, this property could truly shine.
