Oruwa Turtle Beach Villa

The rooms were excellent. Large and clean.

Nothing really

Très belle plage. Staff au petits soins

Mooie grote schone kamers. Ligging direct aan een magisch mooi strand! Heel vriendelijk personeel en heerlijk eten! Het ligt direct naast de. Turtle hatchery.

Sehr nettes Personal, individuelle Betreuung, top Lage😊

Ee really loved the place, beautifull, sany, hidden beach! Rooms are brand new, super style! Tom yam soup my favorit!!! Great stuff! The owner took us by his privet car to see the turtles birth!! What an amazing experience!!! Thanks

Perfekte Unterkunft für entspannte Strandtage, man kann direkt vor dem Haus baden gehen, die Küche des im Haus befindlichen Restaurants ist super! Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und quasi neu eingerichtet. Am Haus gibt es freie Sonnenliegen und Hängematten sowie weitere Sitzmöglichkeiten mit tollem Blick auf das Meer

The location feels like paradise to me – a vast, clean, beautiful empty beach surrounded by palm trees and a few rocks. In the morning a few fishermen and some people pass by, but later the beach is practically yours. The house has large rooms, especially the upstairs one. The bed is very comfortable and the room has everything I needed: AC, a refrigerator, wardrobe, warm lighting, balcony, and Wi-Fi. The space is very fresh and nicely designed. They were finishing a few small interior details while we were there. You can step straight from your room onto the beach. The staff are very calm, respectful, and helpful. The restaurant food is excellent, much better than in other places around. We especially liked the mango curry prawns. We had a campfire at night, swam a lot, and enjoyed one of the most pleasant beach stays I’ve ever had (I’ve visited more than 70 countries so far).

WiFi upstairs works only on the balcony.

Fantastic location on an idealic beach. Best seafood of the trip. I would highly recommend staying here and visiting the excellent turtle hatchery next door.

Потрясающая вилла, находится на берегу, чистейший пляж, несколько лежаков, кафе. Хозяин и работники очень приветливые, во всем помогали, решали все вопросы (адаптор для зарядного устройства, пляжное полотенце, трансферы, экскурсии). Сама вилла очень новая, свежий ремонт. Жить - одно удовольствие!

Loved the location. Beautiful beach. Next door to turtle conservation centre. The room was clean, spacious, had a nice bathroom and even a bath. There are just 3 rooms, 2 are upstairs with balcony and one ground floor (if you need ground floor room advise to message hotel). Great breakfast. We even got a tap on the door when a turtle came up to lay it's eggs at night.

Menu limited, but food we had was nice. We didn't always get what we were expecting. Nearest alternative restaurant 20 minutes walk along beach or tuk tuk ride might not suit everyone, though we liked the uncommercialised lsetting, peace and quiet

What a beautiful located find, right on the beech. Room spacious and clean and only 3 rooms in total so was lovely and quiet. We got to release sea turtles and help the local fisherman with boat and catch. Great stay. Staff all friendly

La habitación está genial, limpia, no le falta de nada. Vistas de la playa desde la cama. Con una playa al lado espectacular. El personal fue muy amable y atento.

La comida fue un poco regular. No era producto fresco. Sin sabor..

The room was really clean and had all the necessary facilities. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Location was definitely a red flag. It was in the middle of nowhere. Didn’t feel safe at all. The villa is still under construction and only one room is ready to be occupied so there are no other guests. No other houses or restaurants along the beach front either. Just trees and jungle.

Super Lage am Sandstrand, direkt neben Schildkröten-Rettungsstation, Blick vom Bett direkt ins Meer, kleiner Garten mi Liegen und Hängematten, Essen gut aber etwas zu teuer

Spacious room, close to the beach, very hearty and good breakfasts. ​We ended our 2-week trip at this villa, staying at different places for 1-2 nights, so we have something to compare it to. Unfortunately, this villa doesn't come out on top. All our previous hosts were incredibly kind, helpful, and went out of their way to assist us even after we had checked out. We mentioned needing a taxi to the airport here, but they didn't know the price and didn't offer a solution for two days. As a result, our airport transfer was arranged by the host we had stayed with before. However, I should mention that we only met the owner of this villa on the day we were leaving, so maybe things would have been different if he had been there. ​The downsides: ants in the bed. Since it was the end of our vacation, we didn't want to find another place or move, so we just put up with it. ​Perhaps they should consider putting some kind of film on the glass door so the room isn't visible from the street. Right now, the door looks like a shop window, which isn't very cozy. ​The ocean view is very beautiful, but we had to keep the curtains drawn all the time because people were constantly walking by and staff were cleaning right in front of the windows. ​Maybe if this had been our first place, our impression would have been different. We didn't want to lower the rating too much, it's just that all our previous hosts in Sri Lanka were incredibly kind, smiling, and helped us with everything. We'd want to return to those places, but not here.

Very comfortable place being right by the ocean with a pretty beach and a monastry to explore. Staff is very kind and helpful. Food is great having a restaurant to the room :-) The center of Kosgoda is close by to eat and buy local products.

Fantastic location on the beach. Situated next door to the turtle conservation centre. We were able to release baby turtles. The host arranged our mangrove safari and our transport to our next destination. Breakfast was good and we ate on the beach.

Nothing to complain about.

Right on the beach You can watch the fishermen at work every morning The staff are absolutely amazing and the villa clean and modern really couldn’t ask for or more

Nothing

Great stay right on the beach if you are looking for a relaxed stay away from the crowd. There is nothing to do here and that is the whole point. The food and staff is really good here.

While making the payment I made a mistake while converting usd to LKR. Instead of 0.4 USD as balance, I paid for 4 USD in LKR and when I realized my mistake I asked for the money back. The staff surely knew this but didn't say anything and later was blabbering in his language . Though I understood that he was not happy as he expected that money as his tip and later had to give it back. The thing that I felt bad about in this whole experience was not pointing out my mistake earlier and then blabbering in frustration. They already charge 10% service charge for everything and then expecting a huge tip is not fair

Oruwa Turtle Beach Me and my 2 kids spent the most wonderful 6 days in this amazing place! I can’t find words to express how happy and tranquil our stay was. The room is very cozy and spacious (even for 3) and has everything necessary for a comfortable holiday (fridge, kettle, hair dryer, etc), wifi was working well (although we also had a tourist SIM from Dialog). Thilina and his team are just amazingly wonderful! When my son got burnt from the sun, they brought freshly cut aloe leaves. The room was cleaned every 2 days, towels changed when necessary. They organized an amazing birthday party for my daughter, with wonderfully decorated room, cake, candles, flowers, fireworks and releasing baby turtles into the ocean. It will be a long-lasting memory for my daughter and for all of us! The location of the hotel is perfect for introverts and those tired of the crazy whirls of big cities. Beautiful beach line with fine sand and palm trees is a real “Bounty Beach”, definitely one of my favorites in Sri-Lanka (and we saw many beaches from Bentota to Tangalla). You can actually swim here, not just jump in the waves. A trip to a boat safari in Bentota and a trip to Galle are highly recommended. A supermarket is located 1 km away from the hotel, we walked there. There are also Turtle Hatcheries in that area, one is located right next to Oruwa Villa- Galbokka Sea Turtle Conservation project. If lucky, you can see turtles coming from the ocean to the sea shore at night to lay eggs in sand at night. Other than that there isn’t much around except the beauty of the nature. I cried when we were leaving this place. It felt like home, really. Thank you, guys! We will miss you(

Really enjoyed my stay here, and even saw a turtle come to shore late at night to lay eggs. Lovely staff, and really comfortable bed! I will return!!

An amazing place with amazing staff. You’re basically facing the ocean and you can hear waves throughout your whole stay. Best place to be

Location by the beach right next to a sea turtle Hatchery, slightly remote, excellent home cooked local food, the dhal was my favourite, the staff was amazing and even notified us when a turtle came to the beach at night. It’s clean, spacious and comfortable. The owner puts a lot of effort into providing the best possible service.

The room doesn’t have a vent so condensation builds up overnight

Great Location, just at the beach!

A well built, maintained and equipped room, on a stunning private beach, 100ft from the ocean - a real gem! Spacious room with bath, shower, fridge, electric kettle. Very nice, friendly owner and helpful team.  Generous breakfast, varied daily.  What could you want more?

A few minute issues, as the room is almost perfect: Curtain (of the huge window facing the ocean) difficult to open and close.  Also, would have appreciated a curtain or opacity in the window of the bathroom, as could be seen from outside. For some, the sound of the ocean waves may be too noisy at night?

Perfect nice & clean place basically right on the beach, with good restaurant and Turtle rescue center in the neighborhood. In the end we received nice gift from the collective. Recommended !
