Kalla Bongo is a peaceful oasis just outside the hustle of Hikkaduwa. The serene environment, combined with comfortable and clean accommodations, makes it a great choice for a relaxing getaway. The food was excellent, especially breakfast, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. However, the pool could be cleaner, and the location, while beautiful, requires a short trip to get to the main beach area.

Kalla Bongo offers a serene escape on the lake while still being just a short tuk-tuk ride from the beach. The lake view rooms are clean and comfortable, complemented by a fantastic dining experience. However, the remote location may not be ideal for those wanting immediate beach access. Overall, it's great value for the price, especially for those in search of tranquility.

Staying at Kalla Bongo Lake Resort was a delightful experience, set in a serene location by the lake which was perfect for relaxation.

Kalla Bongo is a charming hotel with a beautiful lakeside setting, perfect for relaxation. The views at sunset are truly memorable, and the staff, particularly Melvin and Chandana, are attentive and kind. However, the stay had its quirks, such as the lack of phones in the rooms and some noise disturbances due to dogs and nearby parties. Overall, it's a peaceful place that I'd recommend for a short getaway.

During my stay at this resort, I experienced a mix of good and bad aspects. The tranquility of the grounds and beautiful views were a highlight, providing a perfect escape from the busy surroundings. However, the initial impression was dampened by poor service attention and some cleanliness issues in communal areas. While the dining experience was decent, it didn't quite live up to my expectations for a resort.
