Our stay was great! Everything went smoothly, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The breakfasts were varied. The place is quiet, and we had no disturbances at night. The shower room with an open roof was a unique experience. We highly recommend this place for its comfort and peaceful atmosphere!

Lovely location, clean room and helpful owner! I would really recommend the place. An escape from the busy city to a chill place directly at the beach. Relaxing sound of the ocean at night

We loved our stay here so much that we booked again for our return to Colombo stay. The staff were so lovely and enthusiastic and helpful. The villa is gorgeous, so small and intimate. Only 4 rooms so we basically had it to ourselves as it was nearing the end of season in late April. We had a free tuk tuk ride to Galle Fort and this way we met a wonderful driver who ended up being a large part of our travels and a friend for life ! We caught the train from Colombo Fort to Galle and the villa is only a 5 minute tuk tuk ride. . Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏

Aroshina and her family are very warm and welcoming. The room was clean and cosy. They also dropped me to the Galle Fort, or railway station or the local market, whenever needed. The food cooked by Aroshina was exquisite and gave insight into Sri Lankan cuisine. It is a great place for solo travelers.

This homestay is managed by a delightful Sri Lankan family. The room was spotless and conveniently close to the beach. We enjoyed some authentic Sri Lankan meals offered at a very reasonable price, especially the delicious Sri Lankan Chicken Curry. The owner and his wife were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They even arranged a jungle safari for us at a better price compared to what we found in Galle. Additionally, the owner has his own tuk-tuk and can take you around, which is quite convenient. Highly recommended place for a memorable stay!

    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.
