“Lovely place”
Warm welcome from the owner. The family room is convenient for a family with young children. All beds are in the same room. Very clean place. The owner is a great cook. We had breakfast and dinner booked with her. She cooked everything with love as it was for her own family.

“Absolutely amazing!”
Amazing! We absolutely loved our stay here and we would definitely book again. The apartment was very spacious and clean with a hot shower with decent water pressure, comfy bed, a/c, kettle/fridge/cooking facilities etc. The family who run this homestay are SO kind and welcoming, we felt so comfortable during our whole stay. It is a little out of Galle centre so you will need tuktuks back and forth, but there are restaurants close by. It’s set in a lovely village, we saw lots of birds, squirrels & monkeys from our balcony! A true gem in Galle, I couldn’t recommend this place more if I tried!

Nilusha was very helpful during and beyond my stay as well! She recommended easy bus routes and locations for me throughout. Her place was spacious, clean, and well-ventilated. She also prepares homecooked meals for a price, and the dinner she made for me was excellent! She treated me like a family member, and I felt at home throughout my time. ❤️ The stay is located about 10ish mins by tuk from all the main attractions. It is in a lovely residential area and felt safe and peaceful, away from the hustle-bustle. To note for future guests - the room I booked was on the first floor, so you may have to climb a flight of stairs. Personally, I did NOT have a problem, but for older guests, it might be an issue. Just something to keep in mind :)

“Amazing stay! Lovely owner, beautiful spacious room!”
Amazing stay, the owner is so lovely, received a pot of tea on arrival which was great, she provides a laundry service, our room was very big with a small kitchenette and a large fridge, warm shower and multiple fans/aircon. The bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. We highly recommend this stay and would definitely stay again.

I felt the warmth of family here, and I truly wish I had more time to stay. The host took care of me like a mother, and when I lost my bag on the way to Galle, Kasuni also helped me like an elder sister. I really enjoyed the time I spent with them — chatting, cooking, and just being together. I’ve now returned home safely. Thank you for everything. Next time, I’ll bring my sister with me to visit you too!I will miss you:)

“Loved it”
Really enjoyed my one night stay, apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped, host was really friendly. 20 min walk into town via a path by the railway track. Wish I could have stayed longer.
