We had a very strange experience, we were welcomed very friendly, but everywhere we went there was a sense of controlling behavior and surveillance. The second day, 450 euros in cash was stolen from our room. We were away from the hotel all day and did not go to the room ourselves. Only when we arrived in the evening it was obvious that something has been searched through our belongings, as they were no longer in the same place. We called the police to have someone support us, because the owners claimed that no one else had been in the house and that there was no other key to the room. We filed a police report, our belongings were checked in front of the owners, but we did not see that the owners or the hotel rooms had been checked. The owner told us and the police that he was afraid that we would leave without paying, although we had planned to stay there for another night. In any case, we did not get our money back. Be careful and always take cash and valuables with you.

“Perfect homestay”
We stayed here for nearly a week. The room was comfy with a hot shower and good air con. It was great to have the space of the house eg with the kitchen and living areas to relax! Wifi was pretty reliable with speeds between 5 and 25mbsp depending on the time of day (and usage on the network!) Hosts were lovely and went that extra step, even lending us some traditional Sri Lankan clothes of there's to try for photos!

“Amazing family vibes”
The owners are lovely and make us feel like home in their beautiful house. The house is in a very quiet area, not far from the city center by bus. The bus stop is next to the house so it’s very easy, fast and cheap to go to the city. The breakfast is also very good! We will come back here without hesitation! 😊

“A warm, family-like stay with great hospitality, delicious breakfasts”
We had an amazing stay at Hiran and his wife’s guest house in Galle. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of their family. They gave us a very warm welcome and were always available to help with any questions or requests. They provided great advice on local transportation and recommended some must-see spots nearby. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast made with fresh produce from their garden—bananas, papaya, and a different Sri Lankan dish each day. We truly savored the food, and it was wonderful to chat with Hiran during breakfast about everything from travel tips to local life. We also had the pleasure of observing monkeys in the garden each day. As a lovely bonus, Hiran kindly drove us to the train station when we left. The guest house had excellent Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a spacious common area, and the option to use the kitchen—these little extras really made our stay special. The only thing to note is that the train passes quite close to the house, and it can be a bit loud at times. However, we were used to it, so it didn’t bother us at all. We highly recommend staying here if you’re in the area!

Hiran and his wife are extremely friendly and take excellent care of their guests. The breakfast is very tasty and they are happy to give tips on the surrounding area. There are monkeys to watch in the garden 😍 We would stay there again in a heartbeat ☺️

I had the most wonderful stay with this family. Hiren and his wife looked after me and were so welcoming. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and comfortable this is definitely the right place. It was my first stop in Sri Lanka and I couldn't have found a more welcoming spot. 🌟 Ps. I ate here for dinner and breakfast- I would highly reccomend it!
