The room was absolutely wonderful! So clean and fresh, exactly what we needed after a long train journey. Couldn't be more happy with the room. The bed was super comfy, had one of my best night sleeps in that bed. The room had a lovely little patio too. The breakfast was really lovely too, plenty of good food to keep us going for ages. A special thanks to Shiwanka is needed as he was a really lovely host.

The guest house is owned and run by lovely family. They were very hospitable and ready to help. Location is great: close to railway and bus stations, quiet area, behind the Asiri hospital [convenient for PCR testing], walking distance to Galle Fort, short ride to Unawatuna beach. We had one of the best breakfasts in Sri lanka in this hotel, notably proper Italian coffee. Room was spacious, clean, with all facilities, huge balcony, TV, excellent wifi. We highly recommend this guest house if you would like to have a pleasant stay in Galle

    Train Boossa then Tuk Tuk to guest house worked well. Right on the beach with a lovely sea breeze and sunsets from local bar. Lovely family run property. Saman was friendly and extremely helpful and we did a tour with him which we enjoyed a lot.

    The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

    Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.

    We had a decent stay at the Blue Beach hotel. The staff was a little confused about our bookings and the category of room booked. They fixed the same after we told them so. The room was spacious with a good view, but we were expecting the hotel to be right on the beach, which it was not. The photos could have been more accurate.

    The location is right on the beach. You can see dolphins swimming early in the morning (around 7: am). Beds are comfortable and you can hear the waves of the Ocean from your Cabana.

    Amazing place, right on the beach. The rooms are on the first floor, and you can enjoy the view right from your terrace. The staff is very friendly, we were feeling like home. The food in the restaurant is very good, and also it is a perfect place to observe sunset. Rope swing is another funny attraction. Beach with sea turtles is a few minutes walking, very much recommended
