Darshi and Oshi were excellent hosts. From the minute I arrived it felt like home and Darshi made sure I had the best stay possible. Even though I only stayed for one night it was a very wholesome experience. I enjoyed our conversations a lot and Darshi cooked a delicious meal for me. Thank you for everything!

Taavetti is a small boutique style hotel but is actually newly refurbished in execllent quality. The place is very clean amd tidy and the room was excellent. Its quiet and the staff are excellent neat and well mannered. We were received in an excellent way especially after a 2 hour drive from colombo. We were offered fresh juice and a cool towel while checking in. Checking was straight forward and easy. The hotel has its own access to a beach and restairant. We mainly had breakfast there. Its a set menu breakfast that gives u a choice of english french and asian breakfasts. The location of the hotel is not where all the 5* hotels are but beaches are beautiful in most places and Taavetti has a nice stretch of beach with seating and umbrellas

Clean and cozy place directly at the beach with very friendly hosts. Our room didn't contain A/C but the fan was accurate for good sleep. Free sunbeds and hammocks available outside for the guests. Recommended !

Fab location. Indika and his team were super friendly and warm. We felt totally at home. We were at galle only a night but this was perfect. The room was clean and neat and so was the bathroom. The location was incredible. I've never been so close to the ocean. The cafe lunch fish and prawn curry was yum and reasonably priced. And the cafe is just lovely to sit and have a beer and watch the ocean waves just 10 feet away. It's just a 10 min ride to galle town and tuk tuk are super easy to get. Very happy with our decision to stay here. Will come again if ever in the area. Tip: if taking the coast train from colombo the station boosa is just 1km from the guest house rather than galle which is 7. So good to get off here. No worries it you get off at galle. It's like i said a ten min tuk tuk ride. Little tip: go early morning to galle and walk the empty streets and see morning slowly unfold in the Town and walk on the ocean walk boundary wall. It's beautiful.

Train Boossa then Tuk Tuk to guest house worked well. Right on the beach with a lovely sea breeze and sunsets from local bar. Lovely family run property. Saman was friendly and extremely helpful and we did a tour with him which we enjoyed a lot.

The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.

The location is right on the beach. You can see dolphins swimming early in the morning (around 7: am). Beds are comfortable and you can hear the waves of the Ocean from your Cabana.
