A peaceful lakeside stay with stunning views and accommodating hosts where I felt completely safe as a solo traveler.

Ravil and his family were fantastic hosts, warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The apartment is very spacious, featuring a beautiful outdoor terrace, a pool which is cleaned daily and a balcony overlooking the lake. The setting is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, with truly stunning sunrises and sunsets that make the experience even more special. I was working during my stay and the WiFi was fast and reliable. You can expect a calm and comfortable stay here. As a solo female traveller, I felt completely safe throughout my visit.

This place is truly amazing

The price is very reasonable, yet the facilities feel luxurious. Our room had a beautiful panoramic lake view, which made the stay even more special. The property is run by a lovely family who are incredibly attentive and helpful. The owner and his son were both very friendly, and they went above and beyond to support us during our stay. The room is spacious, clean, and well equipped, with a separate small kitchen and dining area, which was very convenient. They also offer activities like kayaking and catamaran boat safaris definitely worth trying! The environment is calm and peaceful, and the sunrise in the morning was absolutely stunning. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay!

Perfect stay!

Wonderful apartment with a truly breathtaking lake view. The area is safe, quiet and residential, surrounded by greenery, ideal for relaxing walks. In about a 10-minute walk, you can easily reach the beach and the shops. Ravil and his sons were extremely kind, welcoming, and always available. The pool is perfect for cooling off on hot days and makes the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended — we would definitely come back!

A good place for a quiet rest

Villa is amazing and looks exactly like on pictures. Everything was pretty clean, the room has a sunny terrace. The kitchenette has all necessary for cooking. Ravil and his family were impressively kind and helped us with every question. We’d like to come back :)

We spent just one night in this apartment. It’s nicely located at the lake with an amazing view and own platform in the water. In addition, the pool was nice to cool down.

Gorgeous place with spectacular lake views

This place was a real hidden gem. The room was comfy and had good lighting, bed was nice and comfortable. The balcony is amazing! It has the best view of the lake, large and airy with windows all the way around. Would recommend to anyone wanting some quiet but still close to everything

Quiet life on Rathgama Lake.

What a beautiful, quiet place right on the water. Ravi and his family are so nice, the villa is spacious, clean with a private kitchen. You can hire a 2 seater kayak at a very good rate. It's a ten minute walk to the main road. It's a little piece of heaven. Fully recommend. Beautiful breakfast on the last morning as well. Thank you for some top draw hospitality Ravi.
