A beautiful and peaceful place with exceptional hospitality, perfect for exploring the area, surfing, and feeling genuin
Pros:

I stayed a little over a week and used the villa as a perfect base to explore the surrounding areas, including Weligama and Hiriketiya. I also went surfing in Galle, which was ideal thanks to the very beginner-friendly waves and the wonderfully open, fun, and welcoming local surf community. The team at the villa is exceptional and genuinely goes far beyond expectations. They are consistently warm, attentive, and proactive, helping to organise scooters, tuk-tuks, or taxis whenever needed, and sharing thoughtful local tips that make everything feel effortless and well cared for. Breakfast was excellent and varied, with beautifully prepared options including delicate, typical Sri Lankan dishes. The rooms are very spacious, well equipped, and offer beautiful morning views, making sunrise a daily highlight. The property itself is thoughtfully designed and slightly tucked away, creating a rare sense of peace and calm while remaining close to beaches and town, so getting around is easy.

Cons:

nothing

À recommander sans problème si vous aimez la nature.
Pros:

À 15 min de Tuk Tuk de la ville de Galle mais dans la nature. Face à la piscine à débordement… les rizières et un spectacle toute la journée de passage d’oiseaux, de paons.
Le logement est très propre.les chambres et salle de bains spacieuses. Meilleur petit dej du séjour. On aura pu y rester plus que 3 jours.

Cons:

Un tout petit peu cher

Beautiful property in the peace and quite of nature
Pros:

Place is lovely - clean and spacious rooms. The staff are exceptional! Pawan, the manager and the Chef went out of their way to serve us. The location is in the middle of paddy fields in a quiet place, views are overlooking a huge field. Very peaceful area and close access to Galle (7,5km) and Unawatuna. Easy to get pickme if you don't have own transport. Breakfast was very delicious, the chef is very talented, lunch and dinner also available on request.

Cons:

Cannot think of anything. Please note there is no lift in the property and only one room on the ground floor.

L’hôtel est vraiment superbe, très bien situé, tout étanikel et parfait dans l’ensemble. Ce n’est pas une critique, mai
Pros:

Le lieu est magnifique, très propre et parfaitement entretenu. Le personnel est adorable,vraiment au top.Tout est nikel!

Cependant,j'ai trouvé le prix un peu excessif par rapport à d'autres hôtels que nous avons faits durant notre séjour,qui étaient tout aussi bien.Le WC mériterait aussi un petit ajustement car il bouge un peu.En dehors de ça l'expérience reste agréable, mais le rapport de qualité prix pourrait être amélioré.

Prachtig boutique hotel.
Pros:

het uitzicht is echt fenomenaal vanuit de infinity pool. Kamers erg ruim en mooi ingericht. Warme douche!

Cons:

Niet zo veel. We wisten dat het 20 minuten per tuk tuk naar Galle was en dat hadden we er graag voor over.

Clean, spacious & comfortable
Pros:

Gorgeous hotel, if we were staying in high season I'm sure it would be great. Upon arrival, we asked if we could get some lunch, we were told no chef which wasn't a problem, the owner made us sandwiches. There didn't seem to be a chef the whole time with the owner making us breakfast each day. Rooms are spacious & comfortable, and everything is clean also. Pool is lovely looking over fields. Location is slightly out the way of Galle about 20 minutes but ubers aren't too much of a problem - just don't get tuk tuks on the side of the road to bring you back as they will charge a lot.

Cons:

Bathroom light broke on the second night of our stay which couldn't be fixed until we left.. Found to be the only guests, so there seemed to be construction going on which made the electricity & wifi temperamental.

Exceptional
Pros:

A beautiful villa set on a lovely quiet road overlooking rice fields. The interior design and architecture is outstanding! Rooms are huge and there's a separate toilet and shower!
Smart Tv in the room...we thoroughly (and sadly!) enjoyed catching up on some Netflix! The guys can help you arrange a bike, or Pick Me works well, as does Uber Eats if you're lazy like us and want an afternoon snack! The guys here are all very hardworking and friendly, but especially Pawan. If hes not physically there, he can be contacted on Whatsapp.
We fancied a beer with dinner and one of the guys drove into Galle to pick some up for us! I highly recommended this hotel and thought it was exceptional value for money!

Poor Service!
Pros:

The rooms are nice, clean and spacious. The outside and pool area is also lovely.

Cons:

Very disappointed with our stay, this was the last place we stayed in Sri Lanka and one of the more expensive hotels yet the hospitality and service was by far the worst we experienced. Not once did they offer to book Tuktuks or taxis for us to get into Galle or to the airport (every other accommodation we stayed at offered help with this and ensured we were able to get around easily). Everything seemed too much of an effort for them. The food we ordered for dinner was different to what it said on the menu and we were therefore unable to eat, and instead of apologising and offering something else, they insisted that there was nothing wrong with it and my girlfriend went to bed hungry. We were also told we could pay on card but the card machine wasn’t working which caused a huge issue. Lastly we received a rude phone call from the owner regarding the issue with the card machine and the food which was incredibly unprofessional and he wasn’t even present. The staff at the Quale didn’t seem to know what they were doing or how to run a hotel properly. The hotel and room itself might have looked nice but that’s about it. If you value decent service, avoid!
