“A peaceful Gem in the Indian Ocean for unforgettable escape & experience.”
Just in front of the beach.. the first thing you see when you wake up in the morning s the Indian ocean. The Saman family were very friendly & helpful. The breakfast is very tastey, home-made with variety of dishes everyday. Very peacful atmosphere and the cute dog Kiki is a cherry on the top.. she s so lovely. Saman Gues house is just 15 mintues away from Galle Forte. Mr Saman has arranged everything for me including the island activities and pick ups. I would definitely come back again for Saman beach house.

“Amazing!”
Wow we loved Saman Guest House. Location beachfront was amazing, beautiful sunsets and a great place to relax. Accommodation was immaculate and had necessities, bed, air conditioner, private bathroom and fridge. A highlight was the breakfast, served different foods both mornings including hoppers, coconut roti, fresh fruit and more. Saman is a great host, friendly and keen to help. For dinner try Sadun Restaurant two doors down along the beach, fantastic seafood. Thanks for the recommendation Saman!

The view!!!! Can't get much better. The breakfast was amazing as well. The beach is very quiet and beautiful. There are also some beach bars right next to the hotel. The owners don't speak much english but are very nice and welcoming.

Fantastic family stay with amazing hospitality! We had a wonderful stay. The place was perfectly clean, and the host was incredibly helpful with everything we needed. Homemade Breakfast: The hostess prepared a different, delicious homemade breakfast every single morning. We rented a scooter directly from the host and used their laundry service (1000 LKR per 1 kg), which was very practical. There are three dogs guarding the property. We especially loved Kiki – she is so sweet and gentle, often sleeping on the mat right in front of our door. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine local experience!

“Excellent accomodation right on the beach and the best host.”
Superb location right on the beach with few sunbeds at the apartment so you can really enjoy and relax within the accomodation. Breakfast was also very good and the host and his wife couldn't be more helpful and kind - they helped us with everything, from recommendations, exchange to organizing our transfer to airport. We would definitely come back if we were to visit Srilanka again.
