The place is quite nice, in nature, with no noise. The owner and the staff are really amazing. They took care of everything smoothly. They provided an awesome, sumptuous breakfast. It is a quiet, old residence, and the rooms are big and clean. Everything turned out amazing.

The room was very clean and comfortable so we felt it like home from the first time. Hosts were very friendly and kind and they did their best for us, especially their daughter who speaks very good English and she helped us even with the informations we needed about our transportation. We have to mention also that they made for us a special breakfast from Sri Lanka that we wanted to try. We highly recommend this hotel for vacations!

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.

We felt like home at Aroshina and her family’s beautiful home. The house is located in a nice and quiet area about 15 to 20 minutes walking distance to the fort. Aroshina colourfully decorated the house with lots of love and we really liked all the beautiful exotic flowers and plants. The rooms including separate bathrooms are very well equipped (cupboards, hangers for clothes, table, chairs, van) and super clean. Dinner (on demand) and breakfast was just extraordinary! We can only warmly recommend this accomodation and would come back at any time! Thank you dear Aroshina for making us feel that comfortable!

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.
