Lovely property in quiet surrounding. It’s feels like being in a house. It’s a small and very personal hotel. Our bedroom was big and had a lovely balcony looking over the pool. The pool is wonderful, we swam late in the evening. The staff is welcoming and kind. Everything was perfect.

Best place in all Sri Lanka. House totally on the beach, sound of the sea with you and stunning view. Felt great the whole stay. I also suggest to eat at the restaurant there, fresh fish just picked from the sea and great atmosphere. Totally recommended!

Best place ive been in 4 weeks of travel in sri lanka. You get your own little house next to the hosts, the room is very clean and spacious. You get a smart tv and mini fridge too. The hosts are a family that live next to you. They washed some of my clothes and made me the best breakfast ive had. Honestly one of the most genuine people ive met. I wish I could have stayed longer, I really didnt want to leave. If I come back to galle, I’ll make sure to book this place again

    Huge comfortable room in stylish building. Large pool surrounded by frangipani trees and dipped into by the resident kingfisher. Small guest house in quiet location with great garden. Hosts and staff delightful and very helpful. Tuk tuks and excellent informed drivers available - helped us with train ticket buying and sending mail. Enjoyed the call to prayer from nearby mosque.

    This guest house was in a great location, just 5 mins walk away from the train and bus stations and 10 mins walk to the fort. Clean and very comfortable - great air con and a quiet location. The host was friendly & helpful and we enjoyed a lovely homemade breakfast each day. Great value. The shared bathroom is only shared between 2 rooms so never an issue & right outside the room. Thoroughly recommend to others.

    The room was super nice, quiet, and with the air conditioning always comfortably cool. Ravi, the host, takes very good care of his guests and makes you feel very welcome. Breakfast is served on the balcony with a lovely view and includes a wide variety of fresh fruits, tea, toast and so much more. The guest house is perfectly located as it's close to everything you could want and need. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't recommend the guest house enough.

    In the heart of Galle, but on a very quiet street. I actually stayed in the next door guesthouse. Nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. Definitely have breakfast, it’s delicious and pretty substantial. The host and staff are all very charming and super helpful. I’ll stay again next time I’m in town.
