Wonderful location. Rooms are well designed and comfortable. Closer to the beaches and if you are looking for a calm environment, this is an ideal place. Really worth for the price. Highly recommended.

The best accommodation I have stayed in my trip..Hospitality is very high and value for money.Room is very clean and big.There are two electric fans and no need for ac..Very close to railway and you should know that when you arrive. But it didn't bother me..the owners informed about it...

This place has an amazing location—right in front of a gorgeous, quiet beach with hardly anyone around, but tons of restaurants nearby. You’re literally steps from the sea, it doesn’t get better than that. Saman, the host, is super helpful and always ready to lend a hand. The breakfast is amazing.

We cannot enough stress how much we loved staying with at this hotel. Indika is a fantastic host, he cooks the best fish, and really makes you feel at home. The location is amazing and the whole family loved it. It is 4 inutes from a turtle farm, 4 minutes from elephant riding and 20 min from Galle and really fun surfing. It is really REALLY good value from money. Would def go back next time I come to Sri Lanka,

Perfect place. The cleanest we've seen for a month in Sri Lanka. It's sparkling clean. We booked for one night but extended and stayed for a week. Very comfortable two bedroom apartment with everything needed inside. Hot water, AC, fan, fully equipped kitchen with a really good kitchenware. We felt like home here. Galle fort and big supermarkets are in 25 min by walk or 5 min by tuk-tuk, not very close but the apartment surroundings are quiet, nice and worthy. And the owner is a very kind, helpful and friendly lady. Our best recommendations for this place.

If you want an authentic Sri Lankan experience, this is the place for you! Hosts are warm and very attractive, ready to share some stories with you! Tasty and abundant breakfast cooked on the spot, with a possibility to have dinner too, which is also very convenient! Room is basic, but has everything you need, there is a shared terrace where you can relax. I highly recommend this place as an alternative to escape Galle noise and crowds. Easy access to Galle Fort by tuktuk or bus.

    Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.
