Ursula, German owner was great 70+ lady! Beautiful cliff-location, views & noise of the waves Building is great Super pool&garden Good cooking

Bit remote, bad road to entry Albeit old/outdated furniture, very clean No AC We liked but some may not appreciate presence of some 6 dogs

When you want to stay around Tangalle to visit the beautiful Goyambokka beach (8 min walk) and Silent beach (15 min walk) this Villa is situated in the best location! It can get really hot and humid in Tangalle, but since the Villa Lucky Star is situated on top of a rock the wind is always blowing and this makes staying here very comfortable. No problems with flies and mosquitos as a bonus. The rooms of the villa are classic and of good size. The room was cleaned daily. The bed was super comfy with a good working ceiling fan and light musquito net. It is great falling asleep and waking up with the sound of breaking waves. The saltwater pool was big and had a nice temperature. The pool was in great condition and cleaned every day. Next to the pool is a little grass area with some hammocks and sun beds overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Despite the romantic setting of the villa, there were some personal downsides. The breakfast offered is included but very basic and not diverse, different from what we experienced in the rest of Sri Lanka. Other breakfast options are, however, offered at additional cost (a.o.pancakes, extra egg, fruit juice). This felt a little cheap. Another example that put us off is that a simple bottle of water cost twice as much as in a local shop. This did not felt very welcomming. It would have been more friendly and sustainable if a water dispencer was in place. Dinner offered was only non-spicy "sri lankan" or simple "western" food. Great if you don't like spicy food, otherwise eat out in one of the nearby local restaurants. If you book a room in this Villa, expect European hospitality.

What a fantastic stay we had! Our room was spacious and cleaned quickly and efficiently each morning. The breakfast outside in the cabana with the wind blowing was superb! Our room had an outdoor daybed, hammock, bathtub, shower, toilet, table etc and we used it all each day. We also asked if we could rent a scooter and they had it brought to the villa for a very fair price. The grounds and pool all were just wonderful. The location is perfect nestled between two fantastic beaches that are just a few minutes walk away. Lisa who manages the villa is extremely personable and helpful and the other staff were very pleasant as well. I had a fever one night and Lisa brought me tea and checked my wellbeing a few times. All around great stay! I’d highly recommend Lucky Star!

The place was stunningly beautiful. It is perched atop a bluff overlooking the ocean. The rooms balcony gave us privacy with a perfect view of the sunrise. The bed was comfortable and even though it is hot out we felt the fan gave us plenty of breeze to sleep comfortably. Lisa, the manager and her entire staff were kind and accommodating. The saltwater pool was so relaxing with the perfect temperature of water. The hammocks and lounge chairs were comfortable. The food was delicious, although not as spicy as most Sri Lankan food. Even the morning coffee was plentiful and delicious. There are two beaches within walking distance. One is very close and the other a bit farther. Even with rough waves we were able to swim at one. And all of this with the sounds of the ocean breaking on the rocks.

I wish there was an option for spicy food.

Beautiful location with amazing views, we had the place to ourselves and the staff were very helpful with whatever we needed. It was quiet at night and we booked the suite on the roof top which was great for late night drinks and cards under the stars. Excellent choice of beaches within walking distance and the evening meals were simple yet delicious. We couldn’t have asked for more.

The staff was super friendly and the stunning ocean view was usually only available in 5 star exclusive hotels. The location of the hotel is close to two beautiful beaches. Due to the monsoon influence, it was not suitable to swim in the sea. Enjoying the view in the hammock at the hotel was my favorite time of the stay. The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was great, we enjoyed our stay very much.

We spent four relaxing days at Villa Lucky Star. The resort is peaceful and well kept. We had a beautiful room on the first floor with a large balcony overlooking the lush garden, the salt water pool and ocean. The room was cleaned daily. Although there were other guests we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Loved breakfast which was just perfect, fresh fruit, egg, toast, jams and coffee. All the staff are very attentive and they served us an earlier breakfast on our last day as we had to leave early. From the garden it's a 10 min walk to Silent beach. This is a really cool walk on the rocks looking at the waves splashing over. Otherwise you can walk the other direction to Goyambokka beach. Great value for money!

After a month traveling in north & central Sri Lanka we headed to the beach. Villa Lucky Star was the perfect guesthouse for us. It is not a fancy place; there is nothing fussy, coldly upscale, or overdone about it. It is just the perfect place for an easy-going beach holiday. Our room (#8) was on the 2nd floor. It was simple, clean, & pleasant, with a large comfortable bed, a cooling cement floor, a long rack for hanging clothing, a table & 2 chairs, 2 bedside tables, a ceiling fan, and best of all, a balcony with the most tranquil, beautiful view over lush gardens, swaying palm trees, a rocky outcrop, gorgeous sea, and a pretty pool. Honestly, it was a movie-perfect view. On the balcony were chairs, table & a cushioned bench. The bed had a net but we didn’t use it as the breeze kept the mosquitoes away. We kept the balcony door open & screen door locked at night. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves & waking to the distant call of peacocks: Nothing could have been more perfect. The shower had plenty of hot water & the shower lip & curtain kept the rest of the bathroom from getting wet. The salt-water pool was refreshing & great to laze about in the late afternoon. VLS is located between 2 beaches: Goyambokka Beach is an easy walk & is a wide, lovely beach with a few simple restaurants for cold drinks. Silent Beach is also beautiful but longer to walk to. Eat on the patio or in a covered pavilion looking out over the sea. Excellent food. Breakfast included a pot of tea or coffee, yogurt w/honey & cereal sprinkles, juice, eggs, toast, & a pretty fruit platter. We highly recommend the Prawns in Coconut (comes with 5 or 6 small dishes) for dinner. Refrigerator & honor system for cold drinks at night. The manager, Lisa, & her team (especially Tisolet) were absolutely The Best: thoughtful, kind, & helpful. Villa Lucky Star is for people who want a lovely, calm, relaxing place to stay.

We loved staying at Villa Lucky Star, and if (when!) we get back to Tangalle we will happily stay there again. The only improvement I can think of would be having a screen in one of the 2 large windows in the room we had. You could then leave the window open at night to let in even more of that lovely sea-breeze.

The service from Lisa and staff. Location is fabulous with awesome beaches within a short walk. We’d planned to eat out at the nearby restaurants and bars but found ourselves eating in for all 5 nights and enjoying our own (6) company and the grounds of this small hotel.

Nothing. Be aware it’s at end of a rough lane with no AC. But I had 5 of the best nights sleep on our 3 week tour and the sound of the waves is a beautiful soundtrack to lull you to sleep.

I had a lovely peaceful stay here. The staff are very kind. Breakfast was good. Dinner was very good and i ate in at the Villa every night. I enjoyed spending time on the room balcony and in the garden by the pool. The sea breeze was lovely.
