It was our very first night in Sri Lanka. As we arrived late, we just slipped into our beautiful and comfortable bed in the bedroom surrounded by antic furniture. Tomorrow morning we were just amazed by the garden's mango, jackfruit, coconut, beatiful flowers, peacocks in the tree. The host led us through their garden before the large and delicious home-made breakfast.

Saman and his family are amazing, it’s a beautiful place in front of the beach. They are so welcoming, treating us with candor, the room is so clean! The breakfast is delicious and big!! At night you sleep with the noise of the waves, during the day you can relax seeing the sea just in front of your room. The place is just 7’ away by car from the fort and the old city. We totally recommend to stay in this place!!

Indika, his wife and his crew made our stay with their friendliness and professional attitude unforgettable. We loved our room upstairs with a full view over the thundering ocean, the waves our lullaby. As we were there at the beginning of the rainy season, the sea took the beach, but only a few metres away was a big sandy beach that was lovely. But the best part was the common area, facing the ocean, where also the locals enjoyed spending time and having a drink. We ate every dinner and breakfast there and the food was fantastic. Thank you very much! Just to be clear, as someone mentioned before, don‘t expect luxury or you will get disappointed. We loved it very much!

The breakfast was absolutely delicious, the best we have had in Sri Lanka. We felt very well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed our experience of staying here. The balcony at the front is a fantastic place to sit and read in the evening.

The staff is really nice and friendly and the location is perfect, if you're looking to explore Galle Fort and its beautiful stores, coffees and restaurants. The room has a lot of space, and the bathroom/shower too. Very clean and comfortable. Totally recommend. The terrace is the perfect spot to see the sunset while you enjoy a nice cocktail or drink from the bar.

I had an excellent stay at this guest house. Its proximity to a major highway interchange made travel easy, yet the surrounding greenery provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The place was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was both delicious and affordable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this guest house for its convenience, cleanliness, tasty breakfast, and warm hospitality. I'll definitely return.

Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend

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.
