Guest houses Rangala House

The view was incredible from the terrace. Staff were really lovely. Great walks from the door locally…we did two walks from the house and another day did a guided 20k knuckles hike which was tough but enjoyable. Property very clean and room was comfortable. Pool was lovely and garden beautiful.

One of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka - me and my partner were amazingly well looked after (we had the place to ourselves!) and the food was incredible. Amazing view. Wonderful team, very warm and friendly. Highly recommended!

We liked everything about the property! The location and view is amazing, the host and staff are communicative, helpful and obliging, the house itself with it’s beautiful garden has a unique style and charisma, the food is delicious. It is a truly remarkable stay that you won’t forget! (Make sure to stay at least 2 nights)

We were welcomed by Anthony who was a fantastic host who was interested in getting to know all of his guests. All the staff were extremely helpful and hospitable. View was fantastic from Rangala House and we were blessed with great weather and sunsets. Rangala staff organised for us to go trekking with their guide, Niro, who was very good and very knowledgable. Food and chefs were top notch - some of our best food in Sri Lanka! Cant wait to visit Anthony & Sam’s restaurant Kandyan in Bristol soon!!

I would recommend Rangala House to anyone, of any age. Take in the spectacular views on the terrace, while sipping a Rusty Duck - a delicious house cocktail made with arrack, Sri Lanka’s national liqueur. The rooms are wonderfully appointed - tasteful decor and lovely bathrooms, and our room had a balcony facing the jungle next to the house, full of chirping frogs enjoying the rain that provided a soporific background to fall asleep to at night (better than any ASMR). The staff were lovely and very thoughtful, helping us with all our requirements, and we loved getting to know Anthony, the charming owner. The pool is wonderful and surrounded by gorgeous flora and fauna crowned with those incredible views. The food is very good — tasty Sri Lankan curries that will leave you stuffed and ready to toddle off to bed after a nightcap. I felt truly relaxed and serene after my stay there. Hiking wise, there are spectacular walks from the House, but you can also pay a guide to take you trekking through the Knuckles mountains.

Rangala House is one of the best places we have ever stayed in. From when you walk through the door off the mountain road and are greeted by the owner and staff and see the breathtaking view from the balcony area, the high standard of accommodation and professionalism of the staff is very apparent. The interior is beautifully furnished, rooms very comfortable, the food is 5 star and the views and garden absolutely stunning. We also loved walking through the nearby tea plantations which the owner provides detail advice about. It was perfect and a credit to the vision of the owner.

What a special, special place! Despite only, regretfully, staying for one night, it was our favourite night of our whole 3 week trip to Sri Lanka. Unassuming from the roadside, once you step through the gates it’s a tropical paradise. The views are AMAZING- you could spend all day sat on the deck just staring out onto the horizon. The staff are the warmest most welcoming people, they are so so caring and just couldn’t be any nicer- we were so well looked after, especially when our taxi was late they came up with plans B and C to help us get to our next destination! We also enjoyed finding out about the history of Rangala from Anthony (the owner) and how they produce a lot of their own products on their 2 acres of land! They also have a restaurant in Bristol which, after tasting the food, we definitely will visit. The food was the best we ate during our whole stay. Who knew celery soup would be SO tasty and delicious?! Not to mention the Sri Lankan omelet we had for breakfast- it was incredible. The room was cosy and very comfortable, we loved listening to the animals before falling to sleep! You won’t regret your stay here. Thank you to Anthony and team for sharing your wonderful place with us.

The most amazing place, absolutely stunning setting with the most beautiful views. Mesmerising sunset. Wonderful hosts. We felt so at home and welcome. We had breakfast and dinners here, both of which were delicious. And so many wonderful walks to do locally. Thank you for an incredible stay!

Rangala House is a very special place. The setting is so peaceful and beautiful, with a panoramic view that changes almost every time you blink. The staff are wonderful. Amala will help you with whatever you need and there is always someone around to serve drinks and food and to chat to about the gorgeous surroundings. They organised an Ayurvedic massage for us with a local man which was wonderful. Anthony, the owner, is incredibly warm and welcoming and a joy to be around. The chefs deserve a very special mention. The food at Rangala House was probably the best we had throughout the month we spent in Sri Lanka. As two backpackers travelling on a budget, we are so happy we decided to splurge a little and stay here - it was worth every penny. Thank you all!
