Very relaxing . Would recommend a few nights
Pros:

Hospitality was good , facilities amazing
Beautiful room with Air Con TV Netflix if wanted . Generous breakfast . Pool was small but perfect after a days sight-seeing.
10-15 min Tuk Tuk ride away from Galle forte . So if you don’t want to be in the middle of the tourist area this is a perfect place.
Thank you for a lovely visit

Cons:

Nothing - all
Good

Τίμια επιλογή για τα χρήματα που δίνεις. Ήσυχο, καθαρό, ευγενικός και εξυπηρετικός ιδιοκτήτης.

Goede rustige locatie in Galle
Pros:

Goede kamers, goede airco, leuk terras. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Niet meteen in het centrum maar vlot bereikbaar met de TukTuk (we hadden een rental), TukTuk kon ook veilig binnen staan. Rustig ook al is het toch dicht bij wat delen van de levendige stad.

Cons:

We kozen voor westers ontbijt maar dat was nogal beperkt, maar natuurlijk wel vergelijkbaar met andere accomodaties in Sri Lanka. Zwembad is nog kleiner dan het op de foto's lijkt, reken op 2x6m.

Un lugar tranquilo y fantástico para descansar
Pros:

Todo en general estaba genial, las instalaciones muy limpias, iguales que en las fotos. El personal muy amable y la ubicación aunque un poco alejada del Fuerte de Galle (unos 10 min en tuk tuk), permite una tranquilidad absoluta. La piscina maravillosa y limpia.

Cons:

No hay nada en concreto que no me agradase.

Come and see!
Pros:

The guesthouse is clean and esthetic and pleasent, the area is quiet and calm.
By tuktuk it's about 12-5 min to Galle Fort, 15 min to the Unawatuna beach - recommended.

I needed gluten free food and it was ok.

Cons:

Stay was too short :-)

Perfect for what we were looking for. One night before we headed home.
Pros:

Breakfast was amazing and hosts very attentive. Lovely room with balcony and a small pool to cool off in. Local wildlife included a family of monkeys !

Cons:

There isn't a lot in the neighborhood as it's residential, but very quiet and peaceful. Only about 15m tuk tuk ride into the Fort.

Exceptional
Pros:

We liked the house very much. Freshly remodeled. 4 bedrooms. One downstairs and 3 upstairs. The pool was clean. It was cleaned every 2 days. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. There is a washing machine, dishwasher.
Me and my friends really enjoyed our vacation. Recommend.
Ps. We also saw monkeys. They used to run past our house a lot. They were very cute and fluffy. They didn't bother us at all, but they were very interesting to watch.
