We had a really wonderful stay at Silver Rail. The room was very big and very comfortable. The family who runs it was so welcoming, they offered us tea and a delicious breakfast. They even showed us how to make the pancakes we loved so that we can try to make them at home later 😋The location was good, we could walk to the Fort everyday. Thank you so much for your hospitality! :)

We spent two nights at this lovely guest house and had an amazing experience. The location is perfect — right by the sea and in a very quiet area, far from the noise of the city, which made our stay even more relaxing. Direct access to the beach. The hosts were incredibly kind, helpful and attentive throughout our visit. They made us feel very welcome and at home. Breakfast was a real highlight: generous, varied and prepared with great care. Every morning we enjoyed a delicious and beautifully arranged meal — a perfect start to the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful seaside getaway with warm hospitality and excellent service. We would definitely come back!

My friend and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Deltora Villa and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality by the owners. Throughout our stay, the owners provided us with exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our visit was perfect. They were incredibly attentive to our needs and ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The accommodation itself was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, providing the perfect backdrop for our adventures in the area. But it was the exceptional service provided by the owners that truly made our stay unforgettable. I cannot recommend Deltora Villa highly enough to fellow travelers, especially friends looking for a memorable getaway. Thank you to the owners for an incredible experience – we can't wait to return!

    Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.

    Indiko and Shadow (the dog) are great hosts. Indiko takes good care of you and likes to tell you more about his live and living at the beach near Galle. Galle is 10 minutes by tuktuk. The food in the homestay is great.
