“Very good homecooked rice & curry (because it was out of season there was no restaurant staff which turned out to be no problem whatsoever), charming owners, beautiful lake, nice balcony, good bed, big room, out of the beachbuzz and traffic of Hikkaduwa.”
“The hotel as well as the rooms are very nice. The view of the lake/jungle is beautiful! The rooms are clean and comfortable, though our room did not have A/C (but it did have a fan, which was enough to keep us comfortable!). The staff is very sweet and very friendly. And the restaurant food is very good! Also, we very much liked their dog :-)”
“The beautiful view over the lake on the private veranda, the tasteful villa with lovely antiques, the room where you can see and feel how much love and care has been put in. The great food, the caring staff, the hot shower and ready fantastic staff.”
“Friendly people with genuine care. So tasty Sri Lankan food. Great view of the lake from the garden. We spent few hours near the lake on that rock and can't explain how amazing that time was. Browny was an excellent companion to walk around.”
“A wonderful stay, the staff could not be more helpful and the place is stunning. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful setting this is the place. Wish we could have stayed longer ”
“Unique place with beautiful garden and lake, very friendly staff, delicious food: everything was super good. Definitely the best place in Hikkaduwa to relax and to stay in calm atmosphere and one of the best places I've ever visited.”

“Wonderful location by the lake, nice and clean room with balcony and a view to the lake. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and the staff was very kind and helpful. Can only recommend!”
“The owner and staff were very helpful and attentive to our needs. Room was incredibly spacious and clean. Super location as it was overlooking a beautiful lake, with opportunities to go canoeing for free. Food in the evening was really tasty.”
“We returned to Birdlake after visiting many years ago. The accommodation was just as we remember and Rhani and her staff were so kind and helpful. The rooms are clean and the breakfast is good. Wifi can be used in public areas. We are glad we returned as little has changed at Villa Birdlake. We thank Rhani and her team for making us so welcome.”
