We did not stay, came for a dinner. Before we even come, we asked the hotel manager if the food is good, because it was important. & the hotel manager David was like “have you seen our reviews for food” blah blah. He was so confident that their food is top level. But the food was BAD, extremely oily & we could have bought much better food at a 1/4 less price than the price they charged us. And the desserts were absolutely a DISASTER! The food were not made by a professional chef for sure. Specially the desserts- can someone make watalappan that bad? And that chocolate dessert was like an experiment done by a kid with chocolate! The ice cream scoop that was given with the dessert was taken from a melted & refrozen container, there were more ice than ice cream on that little scoop. The prices were extremely high for what we got. Overall, the food was disappointing in here, if you completely forget about food & go for views, the hotel has great views. But the road to the hotel is primitive too.

It’s a great place to stay.... Staff were friendly caring and pleasant. Breathtaking infinity pool with views of Koggala Lake. Stayed in a wonderful Villa with lake view and private plunge pool. We highly recommend the hotel for locals and foreigners. I would probably choose Tri next time as I have experience warm welcome from the staff, excellent service and pleasantness of hotel crew. I wish the best to the Tri team and thank you for the memories!

My wife, child, and I recently had the pleasure of vacationing at Tri, and we were absolutely delighted with our experience. The location itself is truly exceptional, offering breathtaking beauty and tranquility that allowed us to escape the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. The privacy we enjoyed was unmatched, providing us with a truly perfect getaway. I must commend the team at Tri for their extraordinary hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure that our vacation was nothing short of perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests truly impressed us. We are sincerely grateful to them for making our vacation an unforgettable experience. Overall, we highly recommend Tri to anyone seeking a superb vacation destination. From its stunning location to the remarkable level of hospitality provided by the team, it truly exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories in the future.

I recently had a wonderful stay at this fantastic hotel, and I can't say enough positive things about the food and the staff. The dining experience was truly exceptional, with a wide array of delicious dishes that catered to various tastes and dietary preferences. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and each meal was expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The staff in the hotel were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that every dining experience was memorable. In addition to the remarkable food, the hotel staff as a whole were outstanding, Specially Dilshan, from the moment we arrived, he was greeted us with warmth, professionalism and take care us very well. Also GM, Mr. Shevan went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, addressing any needs or concerns promptly and with a smile. Their genuine care and dedication to customer service truly made a difference. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of both the culinary experience and the exceptional staff. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and delightful stay.

Went here for lunch and to enjoy the view. Didn't stay. Food was amazing, some of the best we'd had in the area. The place itself is deep in the woods, and thus quiet and serene. The manager was very friendly and came over and chatted to us, telling us about the place. The rooms are mostly individual villas with their own space. And then there is the "water tower" which houses the cheaper rooms. That itself is still very beautiful. I would definitely come here in future to stay and enjoy the lake.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in this oasis of tranquility. The boutique hotel provided the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. Longing for a break from our busy lives, we found the ideal place to rest our minds and calm our hearts. The peaceful surroundings, filled with the delightful sounds of birdsong, and the lush greenery everywhere we looked created a serene atmosphere. The main infinity pool, with its 9-foot-deep end, exceeded our expectations. Fortunately, we had the entire pool to ourselves, adding to the enjoyment of our stay. The staff, marked by their extreme helpfulness and friendliness, always greeted us with warm smiles. Special kudos to Mr. Rob, the owner, whose dedication truly does justice to this splendid location. The daily maintenance of the garden and villas by the exceptional staff, including the polite and friendly Chanuka and Dilshan, made our experience even more enjoyable. Having visited numerous resorts, we can confidently say that this ranks among the best. We plan to return and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking rest, tranquility, and a sense of freedom.

Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. It’s all very well maintained. Really pretty. Cool pool. Beautiful views. There are monkeys and peacocks on their premises in the late afternoon/early evening. Be prepared to drive up a really steep and narrow road up and down to get to this place. It’s partially gravel road too. We made it there with a rented tuktuk. The food was a bit disappointing. Not very fresh and not even super tasty. But it was expensive as everything else there. Probably the most expensive place we stayed at on our trip. Was $250 per night for two people. We got lucky and got upgraded to a room that would’ve cost us two about $450 (direct view on the lake) because of the low business and many available rooms they had. That was great for us! Thanks Tri House Team!!

Beautiful secluded estate grounds. Breathtaking infinity pool with views of Koggala Lake. Stayed in a wonderful Villa with lake view and private plunge pool. Coffee in the morning with the sun rising over the lake, with peacocks, other colorful birds and monkeys everywhere starting their daily routine, is a very special memory for me to keep.

Tri Koggala is a beautiful property overlooking Koggala lake. Seperate villas of the property are built in a way to ensure the privacy of the guests. We could peacefully enjoy the nature without any disturbance. From security guard to general manager, everyone in the staff was so friendly. Especially Dilshan went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Food was on point. Looking forward to visiting the property again.

such an elegant boutique hotel and a perfect getaway to disconnect and reconnect with nature. The staff are so friendly, caring and supportive and they serve delicious food. Would really recommend it.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and relaxing. One of the most outstanding aspects of our stay was the way they acknowledged our anniversary. They generously upgraded our room, which added an extra layer of luxury to our visit. To top it off, they arranged a complimentary anniversary cake, which was a sweet and thoughtful gesture. General Manager Shane Vonhagt deserves special mention. He is not only a true professional but also incredibly friendly and always ready to assist with any request or inquiry. His personal touch made us feel like valued guests, and we can't thank him enough for his warmth and hospitality. The culinary experience at the hotel was another highlight. The meals served were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It was a culinary journey that delighted our taste buds and added to the overall relaxation of our stay. The entire staff at the hotel always had a smile on their faces and was extremely supportive. Their friendliness and attentiveness made us feel like we were in the hands of professionals who genuinely cared about our well-being and comfort. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Tri Koggala by Amaya is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have every visited. The views of the lake and the surrounding forest are amazing. I saw monkeys every day I was there as well as an incredible array of birds. I normally love listening to music but I had no need for music during my stay at Tri. The myriad sounds of nature were enough! The staff were all very pleasant and did everything to make my stay a 5 star experience. The food was fantastic too. There are many different areas where you can eat, so it's not everyone all crammed together in one restaurant with lots of noise. My favorite spot to eat was down by the lake...divine views and so peaceful with zero light pollution as there is very little development surrounding the hotel. Thank you for a fantastic stay. Loved every minute.

In my honest opinion I was expecting more. The property is located near a peaceful lake where there is no disturbances at all except you could hear the trains that passes nearby if you are out near the lobby area. I stayed in the Lake villa which was a quite huge spacious room with a lake view. The bathroom didn't have a door it was on the corner of the room but not very spacious. The rooms are not accessible for wheel chairs. Staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. There was no tea or coffee available inside the room. The air conditioning need to attended by staff as water was dropping during the night. Narrow road to get to the property. Food was tasty. We were even served off the set menu and got a delicious Nasi Goreng.

I want to express my deep appreciation to the entire Tri Koggala staff for their outstanding service during our two-day hotel stay. The staff's professionalism and delectable food truly made our experience exceptional. The room boasted a breathtaking view of the Koggala Lake, capturing both stunning sunrises and sunsets, while the private pool added an extra touch of luxury. We also had the pleasure of exploring nearby islands on a boat ride. If you're planning a trip to the southern region and seeking an eco-friendly hotel for your vacation, look no further than Tri Koggala.

While I was looking forward to providing a 5-star review, I feel it is imperative to convey some specific feedback to the senior management for potential enhancements at your esteemed venue. Room Preparedness: Upon our arrival, several aspects indicated that our Villa was not thoroughly prepped. Notably: a) The presence of a WiFi router intended for a different room, suggesting a mix-up in room preparations. b) Provision of mosquito repellent coils with a broken stand, compounded by the absence of a matchbox for ignition. c) An insufficient supply of only two toilet paper rolls for a two-night stay for myself and my fiancée, considering the challenges in accessing room service within its limited operational hours. Pool Hygiene: The pool, while aesthetically pleasing, presented notable hygiene concerns: a) It appeared uncleaned prior to our arrival, evidenced by a considerable amount of toilet paper both floating and adhering to the pool's drain. b) A significant issue arose with a land monitor lizard, which entered our pool covered in mud. This incident, along with the staff's nonchalant response, raises serious questions about the pool's cleaning regimen and the necessity for a more robust and effective cleaning process. Management Policies: a) The resort's policy of not providing tea and coffee sachets in the rooms, in favor of preparing fresh batches on request, proved inconvenient due to the restaurant's limited operational hours. This policy, particularly in light of the room pricing, seems counterintuitive and restrictive. b) The bar pricing for additional alcohol shots appears disproportionate and unjustifiably high compared to the standard drink prices, raising questions about the pricing strategy. Inconsistent Breakfast Service: There was a notable inconsistency in the breakfast service. Ordering the same meal (Eggs Benedict) resulted in different accompaniments on consecutive days. This inconsistency extended to my fiancée's order, where she did not receive her fruit platter on one occasion. Room Cleaning Protocol: The cleaning of my parents' Lake Villa without explicit consent, particularly in the absence of a door sign requesting cleaning, suggests a need for more stringent protocols and respect for guest privacy. Communication Regarding Amenities: The welcome note mentioned facilities such as a spa and library, but these were inaccessible due to ongoing renovations, a fact not communicated to us beforehand. This lack of information denotes an area for improvement in guest communication.

As I came into the hotel, sitting at reception being welcomed by the infinity plunge pool with koggala lake, I just knew that I’ll have a great time. As thee weren’t too many people around the time I went (just before peak season), they had upgraded me to one of their villas overlooking koggala lake. The room wasn’t too far from reception and pool which I felt comfortable with. I also loved the boat ride around koggala and could see that it had been architecturally designed to blend into its surroundings. The positives: Surrounded by nature, safe, good service, beautiful views from the room and plunge pool, peacocks meandering, free boat ride, loved exploring the Cinnamon island, massage in room was amazing too. Location was great too - 20-30 minutes away from Marissa, unawatuna, Galle Room for improvement: The room should have a table and chair - it had a sun bed to lounge in, but when we order room service it’s difficult to eat it on the sunbed. Western style food (high tea, breakfast) wasn’t the best but I could see they are trying. Overall the staff had provided really good service and they are friendly and calm. I really enjoyed my stay here as a bit of a splurge as the last leg of my travels

This is one of the best boutique hotels in Sri Lanka that you can go to. Its a lovely 11 villa property, around a 2 hour drive from Colombo. There is a beautiful view from around the hotel, most appreciated from the pool deck. Its serene and tranquil, and a treat to walk around the hotel for a nature-lover. The food is personalized and amazing, and there are many delectable and home-made specialties novel to this hotel, their buffalo-milk cheesecake and king coconut jelly are two of many. The standout feature amongst all would be the service of this hotel. The Manager Mr. Shane personally looks into everything and is very accommodative. The guest relations officer Miss Roshani is extremely kind and courteous. Thanks to all the other staff - Harsha, Dileesha, Dilshan, Chamod and everyone else, for their ever friendly and cooperative approach. If you are looking for a boutique type hotel not too far from colombo, do not hesitate to go ahead and visit the Tri Koggala, you wouldn’t regret it.

One of the best hotels I‘ve been to. The service was incredible! Everyone there is so nice and helpful. The rooms are clean ans the food was very good. There are also various options for vegan or allergy-specific food. As it was my friends birthday I asked for some candles and decoration and they even organised a cake, balloons, festoons and party hats. An amazing experience that I highly recommend to everyone.

Thank you for the memorable accommodation and assistance provided throughout the day. We had a great time together and highly appreciated the arrangements made by your team. We will definitely recommend this great place to our friends and family. Looking forward to be back for our next gathering. Cheers!! Thank you Tri Koggala by Amaya.

A beautiful boutique hotel with a calm and quiet environment. One of the best places to get away from the busy Colombo. The staff is very friendly, caring and supportive. The food is yummy… Villas are very spacious and elegant. They have a steam room and a spa as well. If you wish, you can go for a boat ride in the Koggala lake too. Would love to visit again… 🤗

Located in a 6-acre environment in the middle of Sri Lanka's largest natural lake, Koggala Lake, Tree is the realization of a concept that arose two decades ago in this beautiful environment for its owner, British national Robert Drummond..😍 Award-winning architect Raefer Wallis was hired to create a hotel that is strengthened by an all-round sustainable philosophy. 📝 Tri Koggala

Tri by Amaya is all about surrounding your self with the wonders of the beautiful koggalla lake while unwinding from the hectic work life. We stayed at the lake villa with the private pool and it was everything we had hoped for. The staff led by Gajendra is amazing and made our stay special. Pro tip - if your a couple visiting and if the weather permits, see if staff can arrange your breakfast at the Pier - Your welcome!!

We went for a lunch today, and food was fabulous & tasty, served with sufficient portions. The view and location of the hotel is so nice and perfect making us want to go back again. The environment was so calm and quite full with natural habitat. The manager, F&B manager and all other staff were very friendly and helped us in every mean, we totally loved the superb hospitality we received. Highly recommended to both locals and foreigners. And we would definitely go for a stay next time in this wonderful hotel. Highly satisfied with its service.

Really bad food quality & options!!! Except for the views, everything else was a total chaos. Before we came we spoke to the hotel Manager David and he was so confident food was top notch. But from the first meal we had food was nothing but a disaster. Tasteless/made with wrong ingredients or just that they don’t know how to make the dish!! Felt like the food wasn’t even been made by a professional chef. Nothing in the menu was upto even basic standards that you can pick up off a decent street restaurant! Room had no basic amenities like tea/coffee and we were asked to go to the restaurant everytime we wanted one. Staff was polite but they were quite new and not trained too well, had little knowledge on the content of the menus. Room service is only available till 8. One room had a stinking smell over night from the washroom and eventually they refunded us the room rate. Such a horrible experience! We came with such high hopes after seeing the ratings but as of recently turns out the hotel management has changed and quality is so poor overall!

Customer care beyond our expectations. Stunning view for perfect holiday. Thank you team Tri who made our wedding anniversary special.

this is the best mind relaxing place in Sri Lanka you can also enjoy breathtaking views of koggala lake. Staff nice friendly do know very well about hospitable. I received a villa with a private pool. The room was clean and comfortable.

The food was really good,the location as well. Infinity pool is amazing. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room is really wonderful with the view, very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting downsouth.

We spend 1 night in this hotel which is a piece of paradise. the staff all very kind and friendly, from the management to the gardeners. Always greeting and smiling. Chanuka from From Office was in contact with us via WhatsApp since before our arrival just to make sure everything was going well. Also during the stay and even after departure to confirm that we arrive safely to our destination. That's a very nice detail with your guest. The room is big and with an amazing view. Spotless. We were not expecting much about the food, since we knew it is a very small hotel and considering the situation in the country (not many tourist due to crisis) we were expecting only basic items available... however the full menu (which has a big variety) was available and the food was very tasty. It is the perfect place to relax and disconnect. Definitely I would recommend it and for sure will repeat if we go back to Sri Lanka. All the best to all the staff. Dani and Marta ✨
