Bihara and his family are super friendly hosts. They did everything that we felt comfortable. Bihara was always reachable via Whatsapp and answered quickly if we had questions. The room was great, big with a comfy bed, great working AC, even hot shower and a big table with chair. Perfect for people like us who had to work. It has a kettle and free coffee and tea in the room as well as in the kitchen. There is a separate kitchen just for the guests. The living room is huge and has very big tables where you eat breakfast. The breakfast was delicious and we got every morning something different. Another plus is the fast internet connection (fibre optic), which we appreciated because of working. There was also a dedicated parking space for our own TukTuk.

Perfect location if you want to have sea and beach a few meters away. Saman and his family were really friendly and helpful and took good care of us. Prepared delicious breakfast to start the day. Room was very clean, had a roof fan, A/C, and hot water. Beach chairs outside, as well as outside shower to wash the sea salt off 😄

Our stay at this hotel was fantastic! The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help. Even after we checked out, they kindly stored our luggage so we could explore Galle without any hassle. Their hospitality truly stood out and made our experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Indika’s beach villa felt like a home away from home. Our room was great, directly overlooking the sea which was wonderful to wake up to. The food was delicious and authentic, and Indika was an amazing host who made us feel like family. We’ve made friends for life! Highly recommend this beautiful beach side paradise!

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.
