Hotel in Galle

The villa is an architectural pearl. The owner and her team do everything to make you feel comfortable. If you expect sound-proof rooms, thick sink-in carpets or whiskey-tasting: this is definitely not your accommodation. If you can appreciate nice, home-made (organic) food, being part of local nature and culture, well-equipped rooms (fan, no a/c) this hide-away could enrich body, soul and positive feelings about Sri Lanka.

A little slice of paradise – Sergeant House Boutique Villa Staying at Sergeant House felt like entering a private oasis where every detail is designed for peace, beauty, and complete relaxation. The lush garden is a dream – full of tropical plants, elegant stone paths, and the soothing sound of nature. Monkeys leap playfully between the trees, colorful koi swim lazily in the pond alongside gentle turtles, and the entire atmosphere is one of balance and serenity. The pool is simply perfect – crystal clear and surrounded by greenery that gives you the feeling of being deep in nature, yet with all the comfort of a boutique retreat. The rooms are beautifully decorated, combining elegance with tradition, and offer total privacy and comfort. Breakfast and meals at the restaurant are a delight – fresh, flavorful, and served in a tranquil setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer each time. The staff are kind, discreet, and attentive, always ready to help with a genuine smile. Sergeant House isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to breathe deeply, to slow down, and to feel genuinely at home in the most beautiful way. Whatever I write feels too little – this place is an experience in itself.

The staff is absolutely incredible, always available and caring with a smile. The location of the premise is stunning, right on the ocean with direct access to a beautiful beach, while remaining private. Breakfast and food in general is 5 stars. The room is very big and clean. The bed is the most comfortable I've tried in a hotel. We had a massage in the hotel and it is recommended. Internet is was extraordinarily fast and reliable for remote workers. We just left Mosvold and we already want to return!

It really felt like going back in time; beautifully decorated by Geoffrey Bawa giving the typical tropical movement vibe. Very tranquil place, the garden is stunning, breakfast delicious and you have the luxury of the swimming pool and just a 5 minute walk away also the quiet beach. The train running through the garden only every once in a while makes it extra special. The noise never bothered me while I am a light sleeper (as of midnight until +/- 05:00 the train doesn't pas by anymore anyway). There are many guests who have been coming back for years. That already says enough. The staff is incredibly friendly. Absolutely loved it here, thank you for this special experience and truly hope to come back in the future!

The property was calm and clean - walking barefoot throughout was so relaxing. The food was delicious and the yoga was well managed and great. But I would recommend it most because of the family staff running it were amazing in all the details from organizing a beautiful stay and attention to additional details.

This remains one of the most loveable hotels in Sri lanka. Bentota is not quite as trendy as it was because of the motoway south - but that means boutique hotels in south Bentota such as this one are often excellent value.

We had a pool room and it didn’t disappoint. The pool was bigger than expected with gorgeous views - worth the extra money. The whole room was nicely finished and really comfortable, with lots of space. Location is good - It’s around 800 LKR to get into Unawatuna (about 5 minutes max) and 1000 LKR to get into Galle (15 minutes max). The staff were so lovely too, really made the trip enjoyable - for $25 you can also get an hour long full body massage in your room, a really nice touch.

Sergeant House is a beautiful boutique hotel in a lovely renovated historic (colonial style) building. With its own private beach across the road and just minutes away from bustling Unawatuna, the location is excellent. The hotel is set back from the road in lush tropical grounds - road noise was not a problem at all. Chathuri is a wonderful host, so helpful with every request, and the staff are all great. The rooms are lovely - really spacious and beautifully appointed. Highly recommended.
