Could not fault this place - truly exceptional!

You cannot go to Sri Lanka and not stay in Rangala House - it is a MUST visit! The property is hidden away in the Knuckles Range and really offers a get away of the best kind. Immersed in beautiful Sri Lankan countryside, I could have stayed here forever. The staff were exceptional and we were incredibly well looked-after for the duration of our visit. They went above and beyond to made sure we were comfortable, that we had everything we needed and I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The food was also incredible and some of the best we ate while in Sri Lanka. It is prepared in front of you over the course of the day and both lunch and dinner were a real feast. What a beautiful place to come and unwind, relax and bask in the very best of what Sri Lanka has to offer.

Authentic, welcoming, unique.

Most amazing location and the view. Anthony and the staff were one big family who look after me. Pool has no chlorine and has been clean with the 21 century technology. Food was great. I was lucky because I was the only guest that night. Thank you everyone. 👍🙏

My wife and I spent two nights here, but as soon as we arrived, we wished we had stayed longer. This is honestly one of our favourite places that we have ever stayed. The location is stunning and it has the most incredible view. Amila, Laurence, Ruwan, were all incredibly friendly and made the experience even more special. And the owners, Sam and Anthony, made you feel right at home :) We can't wait to come back and stay even longer next time!

This is a very special place. The setting and the views are spectacular. And the team that work here are so warm and really care that you have an amazing time. Thank you Rangala House!

Our dilemma, to keep this place secret or say just how good it was and risk not being able to find a vacancy again (?) But it really was excellent and the whole team there deserve recognition. We treated ourselves to a 3 day stay and ended up booking another night, which almost says it all😀. We loved the setting, welcoming hosts and staff, the pool, the lovely walks and not least the superb food. A lovely relaxed place with the perfect balance of attentiveness but giving guests space too. Oh and loads and loads of bird life visible from the comfort of the terrace. We sincerely hope to be back.

What a place. The highlight of our fortnight trip to Sri Lanka! The view from the room and restaurant patio is beyond exceptional - you can happily stare for hours it is that good. Far better than Ella, for example. The food here is so good - all freshly prepared and to your taste (western or sri lankan and spice levels editable). No doubt some of the best meals we had in sri lanka. Beautiful swimming pool - nice and clean. Amazing, very homely lounge, with an open fireplace that the staff lit for us while we enjoyed the sofas and the many, many books. We felt totally at ease here. Rangala House put us in touch with a freelance guide, Niro, who was amazing and took us on a 7 hour trek in the Knuckles range, which was again, a total highlight. If you are looking for something smaller and independent, there are 3 well written walk guides that you can take yourself from the hotel. The rooms are comfortable and clean and have been left in keeping as a tea planter’s living quarters. This place is a must - any drive you have to do from wherever else is on your itinerary is totally, totally worth it. Total peace and tranquility with the best view of all time, lovely service and delicious, fresh food.

An amazing location set on the side of the hill overlooking the tea plantations on the edge of Rangala. If you want to get away from tourist areas and right out into the Sri Lankan countryside up in the hills, Rangala House is hard to beat. Despite this off the beaten track location, the kitchen provides amazing home cooked food of freshly cooked authentic Sri Lankan cooking. Thank you to Anthony and the whole team for giving us a truly memorable stay.

I don’t think words can explain how truly remarkable Rangala House is. It’s just extraordinary. I’ve been lucky enough to stay in some epic places in my time but this place is magical. The moment you enter, the hospitality is on another level. You are greeted so warmly and from then on, you are a treated unbelievably well throughout. Rangala House is a place of excellence - the property, views, staff, hospitality, service, food - I don’t think I’ve ever spent a whole day in any property just staring at the beauty of the surroundings from sunrise to sunset, but here I did. The manager and house staff are the kindest people and you feel totally looked after at every moment. The food is the best I’ve had in a long time anywhere in the world and the chefs rhubarb cake is firmly on my list of the most delicious deserts I’ve eaten. The organisation of every need is seamless - taxis, guides, lunches, dinners etc. It safe to say, I hope to be back again one day.

Everything about Rangale House is just amazing. The view from the balcony and room was so beautiful, the staff was welcoming and warm, the room was cozy and comfortable and the home made food is just delicious. We also went one a small hike around the tea plantages recommended by the manager. We would come back any day

We can't express enough how much we enjoyed this stay in Sri Lanka. The breakfasts and dinners were exceptional, and the views from the terrace where we dined were truly extraordinary. The owner and the staff were accommodating and professional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The hikes in the tea plantations, recommended by the owner, were spectacular and expertly described. Our hike in the Knuckles Forest Reserve was equally astonishing, and we were captivated by its unique beauty. Without a doubt, this was our most memorable stay in Sri Lanka.

Everything about Rangala House is wonderful. The location is stunning. We visited in quiet season so had the house to ourselves. The staff are truly lovely and made us the most delicious meals with many ingredients from their own livestock and gardens. The room was large with beautiful views and pool was lovely. They organised our transport and guide for trekking in the Knuckles Mountains and provided us with a packed lunch. Now all we need to do is visit their restaurant, The Kandyan, in Bristol in England because if the food there is anywhere near as good as it was at Rangala House we are in for a treat.
