  Wonderful relaxing time for our family here at the villa. The staff were always kind and considerate and helpful with local arrangements (e.g. Tuk Tuk etc). The Chef! What can you say less than excellent throughout. We wish you all well in the new year.

  We had a wonderful stay at Pooja Kanda and definitely wish to stay longer. The food was delicious (especially the pastas) and the animals we saw for example the peacock were amazing. We loved every minute of it. Eventually we had to go and we were devastated. Thank you so much for our amazing time here at Pooja Kanda. PS the cricket matches were the best.

  We want to thank the staff and the house for the great time we had together! The service they gave us was 100% perfect. We fell in love with the pool, the bbq, and the pond. Hopefully we will return.

• March 30th, 2019 - April 12th, 2019

  We have had the best two weeks in this haven that is Villa Pooja Kanda. Thank you to Loku, Sunanda, Gunnasingh and Kevindu for making it so easy for us to relax and for us to spot monitor lizards and monkeys in the garden.

  We have all greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful serene place. The staff have been quite exceptional - going above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one. We will all have very lovely memories of our time spent here and hope that perhaps that one day we may return again with our extended family. Love and best wishes to everyone.

• February 17th, 2019 - February 21st, 2019

  Thank you for everything. We have been very impressed by the standing of this house. We enjoyed the service and the very good food home made by a very good chef. Everybody was very nice and our stay was memorable.

  Stephanie M, France

• February 9th, 2019 - February 16th, 2019

  This is a tough to describe the happiness the staff and accommodations of Pooja Kanda provided to our group of 10 Frenchies. Thank you for your welcome - as cheerful and pleasant as the house. We now carry memories with each room. Your service with constant smiles has made our stay magical, within the lush nature of Sri Lanka. Thanks to you, our thirties are not something we dread but something we wish lasted forever. For that, chances are we will be back sooner than expected. We hope we can somehow repay you for your kindness, which is not a common feeling when leaving a more regular guesthouse or luxurious hotel, Pooja Kanda has it all.

  Constance C, France

• February 2nd, 2019 - February 9th, 2019

  We had a beautiful week at this villa. Beautiful surroundings and charming building. There were five of us so each one of us had our own room. It was very hard to choose our “favourite” room so we gave up since each one of them have there own charm. The staff were great, the food also delicious. For us, Sri Lanka has proven to be a country worth visiting several times. Hope to come back soon, thank you to the entire team.

  Jessica S, Singapore

• January 12th, 2019 - January 27th, 2019

  Such a wonderful place. All the staff made it even more wonderful. I loved the time gathering together with my family who I have missed. Now we are together, I never want to let go. Thank you all so much for everything - you all made it memorable.

  Shane D, Australia

• December 22nd, 2018 - January 5th, 2019

  This was a special holiday for us to all be together as a family. It was everything we hoped for. The villa is lovely and the staff exceptional. Every part of the two weeks will be wonderfully remembered by us. Amazing holiday and great to be together in such a wonderful setting. The staff and the villa were amazing and we couldn't have asked for much more. Cant wait to return to Sri Lanka again and crack the surfing. What an epic holiday, in such an amazing villa.

  Jane D, United Kingdom

• December 1st, 2018 - December 9th, 2018

  What a wonderful week we have had a Villa Pooja Kanda. A heaven of peace and tranquility which has allowed us plenty of relaxation. Thank you so much to all wonderful staff who have looked after us during our stay. Nothing has been too much trouble, every request met with a smile and "yes of course." Chef Sunanda has prepared some wonderful food for us and coped admirably when a few additional friends turned up. The twins (15 months) received so much attention from all the staff. We are first time visitors to Sri Lanka but I have no doubt we'll be back to explore more wildly and enjoy the hospitality of these wonderful people. I am a great aunt to the above twins and have had a wonderful week with these darling boys the rest of my lovely family. I cannot believe how amazing all the staff have been at the villa. We have loved it all and thank you all so much for making our stay so perfect. They will come back and I will be with them.

  Emily M, Switzerland

• November 3rd, 2018 - November 11th, 2018

  Thank you all for the most wonderful week of rest and relaxation. I cant think of a better place anywhere in the world to while away a few days and escape the trials of every day life. Not even a famous victory for England down the road in Galle would tempt us from this paradise. The wildlife was spectacular, with birds galore (including peacocks), monkey's, mongoose and giant lizards keeping us entertained. The staff made our stay. Every day they made sure we did not want nor worry for a thing and when the children got too much, it was no trouble to take them off us for a few minutes of playtime. The food altogether too good. We shall return no doubt. Its only a matter of time.

  Robert C, Hong Kong

• October 25th, 2018 - October 28th, 2018

  A huge thank you to allthe staff at Pooja Kanda for their excellent care and attention to detail. We had a most memorable, enjoyable week and you have truly spoilt us! After touring Sri Lanka for the first week of our holiday it was lovely to be welcomed by the Pooja Kanda team! Thank you all for all the relaxing time we spent at the villa and also for the excellent and friendly service that you provided. We have made many special memories during our stay and would love to visit in the future.

  Thank you everyone at Pooja Kanda. We had a wonderful stay here. Perfect after a tour of Sri Lanka. Relaxing with delicious food and amazing service from all the staff. A real treat. We will return without a doubt.

  Alan T, United Kingdom

• July 23rd, 2018 - July 26th, 2018

  As a chef and travel blogger, I get to visit a lot of exotic places around the world, but i've never seen a villa with so much natural charm and character. Living and swimming in the jungle tree tops with nature's smells, sounds and colours made this experience INCREDIBLE! The staff are super friendly and accommodating to all our needs. Our talented chef created amazing meals both local and traditional. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting a different experience. Thank you for an memorable experience.

  Joel M, Australia

• July 14th, 2018 - July 16th, 2018

  Thank you so much for such a warm welcome, heartwarming food and a lovely stay. We will never forget the delicious food and the magic moment of seeing the peacocks on the day they hatched! But most of all, thank you for taking care of our family with your excellent, attentive and friendly service - what a gem you have! We've loved this special place.

  Scott S, Australia

• July 7th, 2018 - July 14th, 2018

  To all at Pooja Kanda, we are a family of six from Australia, dad and mum and 4 kids. Spent a week traveling through Sri Lanka and this has been by far the most memorable experience for us. Aside from the magnificent house, Sunanda, Chaminda, Sunil, Apoo and "Anaconda" have made our stay unforgettable. From the many trips to the market with Chef Sunanda, and the resulting feast that you created for us, the cricketing experience that Chaminda shared, the many "Milo" drinks and tequila cocktails sunil whipped up for us, Apoo's amazing tricks with the vape and karate moves and of course Anaconda's quiet, ever present charm. Not forgetting the arduous task the lovely ladies had of tendering to the copious amounts of washing we deposited each day. Rob and Loku, you have impeccable standards and we could not have asked for a more welcoming, attentive, discreet and humble group of people to look after our every need during our stay. Thanks for joining us for dinner on Saturday night, we enjoyed it.

  Scott S, Australia

• June 27th, 2018 - July 4th, 2018

  OMG what a beautiful place! Pooja Kanda exceeded our expectations - the grounds, pool, rooms, all gorgeous and staff were fabulous too. A family of 4 - divorced mum and dad (yes strange) and 2 young sons 23 & 21 - a holiday from Australia and we couldn't have asked for anything more. What a sensational place for a well earned week of relaxing, eating, drinking and the World Cup.

  Sandra B, Australia

• June 17th, 2018 - June 20th, 2018

  We - a group of a dozen, spent an amazing time at Pooja kanda from 17th to the 20th June. The lovely bungalow lived up to it's expectations completely. The super clean rooms, the public areas, the pool, the garden - everything was up to the mark. The staff were always willing and pleasant and catered to our every need and request. A big thank you from all of us for making our stay so enjoyable. We take back warm memories of a gracious country and gracious people.

  Cherian R, India

• May 4th, 2018 - May 6th, 2018

  As a group who live in Sri Lanka, we have stayed at many villas here. This has been our best experience - a lovely villa which is great but also well trained charming and highly efficient staff. Something that is unusual here. A big thanks to the team who looked after us.

  Izabella K, Sri Lanka

• April 7th, 2018 - April 14th, 2018

  To all the team at Pooja Kanda, what a wonderful week we have had. The villa is absolutely beautiful, in its stunning surroundings – we’ve loved keeping our eyes out for the beautiful wildlife we can spot. But the week has been made even more special by how we have been looked after by the villa staff. A special and a huge thank you to Rob and Loku who went above and beyond by taking us to the Doctor in Galle twice and staying with us the whole time. Loku you are a wonderful woman. Thank you again.

  Lizzie and Dan C, Singapore

• March 24th, 2018 - March 29th, 2018

  Thank you for a fabulous stay at this wonderful villa in a fantastic country. The staff were brilliant, very accommodating to our 6 adults and 8 cousins under 10. Fish curry, hoppers and dhal for breakfast, great barbecues and all with a smile. We had a great trip out to the beach, swimming with turtles and loving the rope swing. We will be back. Oh and some great England v Sri Lanka cricket games on the front lawn – with tea and gin and tonic breaks!

  Ben W, United Kingdom

• February 3rd, 2018 - February 10th, 2018

  Thank you for a wonderful stay at Villa Pooja Kanda. We had a fun filled holiday with our 3 grandchildren and enjoyed every minute. We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to come back another year. The staff have been attentive and kind and nothing has been too much trouble. Loku has catered to all our requests for transport, where to go and has made us feel extremely welcome - we cannot thank her enough.

  Fred L, United Kingdom

• January 24th, 2018 - February 3rd, 2018

  Thank you so much for making our holiday one of the most memorable holidays my family and I have ever had. We enjoyed the physical surroundings of the villa, the comfort you afforded us, the incredibly delicious pool, and our outings. I will treasure the memory of our time here forever. We arrived as tired weary strangers and we leave as rested rejuvenated friends.

  Mary Jo M, Indonesia

• January 14th, 2018 - January 21st, 2018

  A huge thank you to all of the team at Villa Pooja Kanda - we have been so spoilt here. Chef Sunanda, Chaminda, Sunil and Yasiru not only looked after our two girls brilliantly - they became the best of friends. The birthday party with all of their (staffs) children and grandchildren for Beatrice, our four year old, has a particular highlight and an memory we will cherish. Chef Sunanda has hidden skills as a pasty chef - not just an amazing cake but a table groaning with wonderful treats. A brilliant week - thank you all!

  Sarah C, Singapore

• December 30th, 2017 - January 6th, 2018

  We had a wonderful week in the villa. Enjoyed the pool, the sights around here - particularly the tea plantation, the lake trip including the spice island and trips to the wonderful beaches nearby. It has been a perfect base for relaxing and the staff have been great. Our special thanks to Sunil who is always smiling and friendly and to chef Sunanda whose food is absolutely amazing. I wish I could stay longer (age 7) I liked swimming in the sea with turtles on my last day.

  Colin A, United Kingdom

• December 23rd, 2017 - December 30th, 2017

  We had the most wonderful stay at Pooja Kanda. The house is perfect and works so well for a mix of age groups - I wish we were staying longer. All of the staff are so lovely and couldn't be more helpful. Always smiling and ready for a game of cricket or bird, monkey, peacock and fruit bat watching. The food has been amazing and we are all feeling very healthy. Special mention to Sunil and Sunanda but everyone else has been wonderful too. We loved the lovely smiley washing lady who has washed copious amounts of laundry and still smiling. Thank you.

  Jayne E, United Kingdom

• December 15th, 2017 - December 23rd, 2017

  We have absolutely loved our week at villa Pooja Kanda. It is the perfect place and in the perfect spot. More than that - the staff cant be faulted.

  Winifred C, Australia

• December 7th, 2017 - December 14th, 2017

  Thank you all so much for such a wonderful week. The manager was constantly smiling, always helpful and looked after our every need. I am not sure when he went to sleep! So - and I think I write for all the guests, he deserves special mention for his excellent service. Everything has been fantastic, such a memorable week for all of us. Fantastic food from Sunanda and exceptional service from Sunil and his team. Thank you for such as amazing week. We have both relaxed and felt so at home. We will remember our week and cannot wait to return.

I am so grateful to all the staff for all their many efforts daily to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

  Pooja Kanda was the last stop in out holiday, we couldn't have chosen it better! The service was superb! The staff was so respectable and sympathetic and always aimed to servce us the best way. The food was outstandingly delicious, every meal was one to look forward to! The rooms were very comfortable were always very clean and tidy. The villa really felt like home. We were very appreciative to have experienced this wonderful, joyful environment, and we surely hope to return to this paradise. Sri Lanka is definitely a place to cherish and Pooja Kanda was certainly one of the highlights of our trip.

  Francisco Xavier A, Sri Lanka

• April 2nd, 2017 - April 9th, 2017

  We all had a lovely time at Pooja Kanda Villa. The food was absolutely delicious! The beach was lovely and we swam with gigantic turtles! We went to a turtle aquarian and the baby turtles were really cute! We also went on a boat trip and the islands were fantastic! The staff were really kind and we loved coming here. One of the best family holidays we have ever had. The staff at the villa were so attentive and looked after our every need. The food prepared by the Chef was out of this world, the best curries we have ever eaten! Such a great experience for a young family and a wonderful half way port between the UK and Australia to catch up with family. We wouldn't hesitate in returning to Pooja Kanda and we look forward to one day seeing you all again.

  Gayan H, Sri Lanka

• January 28th, 2017 - February 4th, 2017

  A fabulous place for family from London and Singapore to meet up for a special family holiday together - out of this world in so many ways - far from our normal lives in such a beautiful place with such friendly and efficient people looking after us, and delicious food to eat - chef Sunanda did us proud with a fantastic barbecue last night! We have all loved the pool, the monkeys, the dames on the lawn, the trips to Galle, Koggala Lake and the bike ride, as well as the time to do nothing. Thank you to everyone here for looking after us so brilliantly.

  Sarah H, United Kingdom

• December 23rd, 2016 - January 3rd, 2017

  What a wonderful time we had here at Pooja Kanda. It truly is a paradise here. The welcome and care of all the staff have been outstanding. We have had an unforgettable Christmas and New Year with amazing food and hospitality. It has been a wonderful reunion for our international family in magical Sri Lanka. Thank you so much. What a wonderful place! Not only is Villa Pooja Kanda breathtakingly beautiful, but the people who work here couldn't be kinder. They really made our stay extra special! I hope we come back one day! The extra effort that was out into the Christmas and New Years decoration really gave our holiday another element of wonder. Thank you. Great start to 2017!

  Roderick N, Australia

• December 7th, 2016 - December 21st, 2016

  My second visit to Pooja Kanda and I couldn't wait to get back here. I loved that everything was the same - the monks chanting, and bread cart tunes, the monkies, kingfishers, and tiny birds. This time we discovered the peacocks. Go for a walk early morning or late afternoon (or tuk tuk). Turn right out of the gate, and keep walking straight through the villages, until you come to the paddy fields on your left....... about 20 minutes. There you will see beautiful peacocks and peahens. This place fills me with such joy. Thank you everyone for helping to make our stay here a paradise moment. Will miss the amazing feasts prepared for us by Chef Sunanda every day, and the lovely Villa staff.

  Charmaine A, Australia

• November 20th, 2016 - November 27th, 2016

  We had a lovely stay. The staff were attentive and always ready to help with a smile. We especially enjoyed the amazing meals prepared by Chef Sunanda. He shared his secret curry paste and even prepared extra portions for us to take home. Special thanks to Loku and Rob for helping arrange our numerous daily excursions - our first every visit to Sri Lanka was made even more special thanks to everyone at Villa Pooja Kanda. I will highly recommend my friends who plan to visit Sri Lanka - a wonderful country with beautiful people!

  Carolyn T, Singapore

• October 24th, 2016 - November 3rd, 2016

  A very big THANK YOU to all the attentive considerate, smily staff who have made our stay very special.

• December 30th, 2015 - January 2nd, 2016

  Totally amazing experience. Awesome staff, delicious food, lovely environment. The facility is magnificent. Like living luxurious with a djungle feeling monkies schreeching around the corner. I would suggest anybody visiting Sri Lanka to rent Pooja Kanda a couple of nights. All the best recommendations.

  Lotta S, Sweden

• December 16th, 2015 - December 30th, 2015

  This second Sri Lankan holiday is easily of of our very best holidays ever! Thank you very much!! Pooja kanda is a luxurious villa in a beautiful setting. It is very well run by the whole team, supervised by Loku, who were all incredibility obliging, attentive and caring. A lot of effort was put into (apart from so many other things) making Pooja Kanda uninviting for mosquitoes which was much appreciated!! Sunanda and team prepared wonderful, delicious meals. His culinary skills included a memorable X'mas barbecue which included a parrot fish we caught!! Sunil added to the charm of the villa by being rather endearing, cheerful character. Monty (what we decided to call the resident monitor lizard) added to our enjoyment by just appearing on the lawn. We do miss him when he doesn't appear. A special thank you to the security guards who kept us safe. Laundry came back beautifully folded, thanks to Gilmda. Somalata was very special too!
