We had a really lovely stay at Machcha! Rooms were lovely and the gardens surrounding after beautiful. Very quiet and our hosts were so kind and friendly. Breakfast was very good too!

Nothing, it was a wonderful stay!

Great location, next to Roy’s Villa so I was able to take part in activities there as a solo traveller. Host was fabulous and made delicious breakfasts. Highly recommend.

I had a fantastic stay! The place was super clean and spacious, with a great hot shower. They even let my friend from next door join me for a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast, free of charge, which was a lovely touch. I really enjoyed relaxing in the hammock, and the staff were incredibly polite and welcoming. The garden was beautifully maintained, creating a peaceful atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Plus, they provided free transport to the bus stop, which was incredibly convenient. Highly recommended!

Loved staying at machcha lodge! The host is so nice and makes lovely breakfast with eggs, fresh fruits, smoothies, coffee/tea and toast. It’s also a minute walk from Roys Villa where you can enjoy the pool, family diners and all activities. My pickup taxi was at 6:00, so the host made a lovely breakfast at 5:30 and the people from Roy’s gave me a snack for on the way. Such nice people and a great start of my holiday!!

Machcha Lodge was one of our favorite stays in Sri Lanka. Kamal was the kindest, most generous host and was eager to help with anything we needed. Our family of 4 took both of the rooms. The rooms were clean, and the outside garden was lovely to sit in in the morning. Kamal made us a beautiful breakfast that we ate outside in the garden every morning. It was fun eating breakfast while watching the fantastic birds and peacocks in the garden! The wifi was a bit spotty, but that seems to be a common problem in Sri Lanka and not specifically with this property. We rented scooters through Kamal, and that was awesome because it allowed us to explore the village and towns around independently. One of the main pluses of Machcha Lodge is that it is next door to Roy's Villa - a fun backpackers place that organizes lots of fun group activities, cooking classes, safaris, hikes - and we were able to join on their activities, use the pool and have some of our meals there.

The only downside of the Machcha Lodge is that it is a little secluded (besides being next door to Roy's, which is a destination by itself). But we solved it easily by renting scooters - with those, everything was 10 minutes away!
