The family was really frendly. The owner took the time to drive is to the town to bye some srilankan spises and gifts. She made us srilankan tea and really tasty meals. We also took cooking class which was very fun for the whole family. The place is really nice decorated and the best bed. The room was climated and we could use the kitchen. We would come again and they have our recommendation.

The staff is really nice and friendly and the location is perfect, if you're looking to explore Galle Fort and its beautiful stores, coffees and restaurants. The room has a lot of space, and the bathroom/shower too. Very clean and comfortable. Totally recommend. The terrace is the perfect spot to see the sunset while you enjoy a nice cocktail or drink from the bar.

A really nice farm stay experience! The owner is extremely friendly, and chatting with them was so enjoyable—they made us feel right at home. What I loved most was the freedom here. The opening and closing times are very reasonable, which gave us plenty of flexibility to plan our days. Location-wise, it’s a winner: super close to the beach, and just a 7-8 minute drive to the city center. Overall, it’s highly recommended. The value for money is fantastic—definitely worth a 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.
