Great stay, nice pool
Pros:

We had a great stay here and the kids loved the pool. The breakfast was delicious (egg hoppers, fruit, toast and tea/ coffee)

Cons:

To close the door you had to either lock it on the inside (locking out people on the outside) or lock it on the inside (locking people in). Our kids locked us in inadvertently and we had to climb out through the window!

Pros:

Mooi leuk verblijf, in een klein rustig straatje net buiten de drukte van Galle. Kngeveer 10/15 minuten lopen van fort Galle. Een tuktuk is makkelijker daarvoor. De mensen zijn er heel vriendelijk en helpen je overal bij. Heerlijke airco!

Peaceful location near Galle, in comfy well kept rooms.
Pros:

Great Sri Lankan breakfast, pool area was lovely and relaxing place after a day of wandering, Short walk to the beach. One of the best things was Gayan organised a morning river cruise for us to check out the local wildlife and then served late breakfast once we returned. Very easy to get to Hikkaduwa and Mirrissa as well as walking distance to Galle (about 25 mins). Peaceful location, No noise except for monkeys and birds.

Zie supra.
Pros:

De vriendelijkheid van de uitbaters en het gevarieerd ontbijt.

Cons:

De ligging.
Booking beschrijft de ligging als”in het stadscentrum”.
Klopt helemaal niet.
Er liggen ook geen restaurants op wandelafstand.

Pros:

I had such a wonderful stay here and truly enjoyed every moment. The location is perfect – close to beautiful beaches, the city, and all the main spots, yet still peaceful and quiet, which I really appreciated.

The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything. You immediately feel taken care of. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and one of the highlights of my stay.

The property itself is beautiful, with a lovely pool area where you can relax and unwind. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and well-equipped – air conditioning works perfectly, there is a fridge, and everything you need for a pleasant stay.

The bed was extremely comfortable, and the bedding always smelled fresh, which made it even more enjoyable. You can really feel the attention to detail and care.

I felt very happy and relaxed here, and it honestly felt like a little home away from home. I would definitely come back again very soon and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Pros:

Nous sommes restés 4 nuits. L'environnement y est très agréable. La piscine est grande avec cascade d'eau. Parfait pour se détendre en fin de journée ou se rafraîchir. Les petits déjeuners sont variés et bons. Les chambres sont confortables et climatisées. Le personnel est de bon conseil et gentils.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt! Die Unterkunft ist einfach super – besonders der Chef ist mega hilfsbereit, unglaublich freundlich und jederzeit ansprechbar.
Das gesamte Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und sorgt dafür, dass man sich direkt wohlfühlt. Schon bei der Ankunft wurden wir mit einem Willkommensdrink empfangen, was direkt einen positiven ersten Eindruck hinterlassen hat.
Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und komfortabel. Die Betten sind eher weich, was mir persönlich besonders gut gefallen hat.
Auch der Pool ist sehr schön und lädt zum Entspannen ein.
Insgesamt absolut empfehlenswert – wir kommen gerne wieder!

Pros:

La piscine est super. Si vous vous y prenez à l'avance, n'hésitez pas à manger sur place, c'est vraiment très bon.
L'accueil de cette famille est vraiment exceptionnel 😁 Mon meilleur hotel en un mois au Sei Lanka.

Cons:

C'est un peu loin du fort, mais comme il n'a pas grand intérêt, c'est pas très gênant.
Le bruit de la mosquée, le matin.

A peaceful and restful place to stay
Pros:

We loved our stay at Ging View Villa which is run by a lovely family and very helpful staff. Booked for 2 nights and stayed for 6. The setting is very quiet and peaceful. The room was large with a good shower and lovely balcony. The pool area was partly under trees so plenty of shade and we enjoyed watching the monkeys in the trees nearby. Breakfast was good, also the dinners we had, home cooked and tasty. Would highly recommend this guest house which is by the beach a few minutes by Tuc Tuc from Galle Fort. Pradeep was available with his Tuc Tuc to bring us wherever we wanted at a very good price.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was great

Einfach nur schön und entspannt.
Pros:

Etwa 2 Kilometer außerhalb des Zentrums sehr ruhig gelegen. Mit Bus problemlos alles in der Nähe zu erreichen. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter ermöglichen einen kurzweiligen Aufenthalt. Inklusive dem Pool alles sehr sauber gehalten. Schöne Zimmer und sehr sauberem Bad. Preis- Leistung absolut top. Und zu guter letzt: feines Frühstück!! Wir kommen gerne wieder.
