Bilin Tree House

Very helpful staff, great ambience in the house we had to ourselves, including a nice garden and veranda. Breakfast was better than I'd expected. Beds were super comfortable.

A few mosquito coils or wall plugs might have helped, though beds had good mosquito nets.

L’établissement était sublime, très confort et le personnel était très gentil.

Rien du tout ! Tout était parfait

Hôtel a l'écart de la ville, loin de l'agitation, ça fait du bien. Personnel hyper gentil. Je recommande

Tout était parfait

Lovely boutique style hotel with many thoughtful touches. Rooms were spotless and very comfortable with large attractive balconies. The staff were very kind and friendly. The breakfast was great. The swimming pool was the nicest we've seen in Sri Lanka, surrounded by trees and birds.

Nothing - all great!

C’était parfait, beau et calme Le personnel est adorable. La chambre, la piscine le cadre général sont fabuleux. Le petit déjeuner est très bon et copieux. A 7mn en Tuk tuk des plages d’Unawatuna, idem pour le centre de Galle

Rien. Un petit plus avec body lotion et conditionner

Struttura pulita e personale cordiale

My family loved our visit! The managers were so kind and helpful. The setting is beautiful and peaceful and we enjoyed learning about some of the different plants in the garden and visiting birds and monkeys. The pool is amazing. Easy tuk tuk to town. Food was excellent. We stayed in the 3 bedroom house. The visit was perfect.

Lovely staff, great pool, really great spot. Big, clean rooms with big beds.

The staff was very friendly, the pool was amazing, the vibe was amazing

Far from the center

Het is een mooi verblijf, kleinschalig, ze reageren snel op mailtjes en de prijs kwaliteit verhouding is erg goed. De mensen zijn super vriendelijk en wij hebben heerlijk geslapen in het fijne bed, na een lange vlucht.

N.v.t.

Een heel mooi plekje waar je echt tot rust komt. En ruim huis met een mooie tuin waar je kan chillen en alles bij de hand hebt. De slaapkamers zijn lekker koel en de klamboe voorkomt muggen. Een mooi zwembad, niet zo’n blauwe bak maar veel aandacht voor stijl. Het ontbijt was grandioos. Je kon aangeven wat je wilde en ze maakten het voor je. De mensen zijn overal gastvrij in Sri Lanka en hier geen uitzondering. Niet pushen maar echt willen helpen. Een hele warme ervaring!

Echt mooi onderhouden, goed zwembad, vriendelijk personeel, lekker ontbijt.

Het ligt in een lelijk deel van de stad, alhoewel dit stukje echt als een oase voelt. Hoor je al heel vroeg de drukte van de stad.

Personal muy amables y pendientes de tus necesidades, la habitación muy cómoda.

La habitación al entrar olía un poco a humedad

Nos hôtes ont été exceptionnels avec nous, gentils, à l'écoute, toujours prêt à aider. Les chambres et la villa sont très belles, bien décorées et propres. Le jardin est très joliment aménagé. La piscine est top. Sans aucun doute une super adresse!

Serenely calm property. Tropical garden nicely manicured. Staff couldn’t do enough. No alcohol served, but staff happily went out to fetch cold beers. Close proximity to Galle Fort, a short TukTuk ride away. Has a sister hotel, Tartaruga on the nearby Unawatuna beach to which we had free and full access. Perfect combination for a day on the beach followed by exploration and dinner in the Fort. Can’t recommend this property highly enough. 🪷🕉️🙏🏻

Beautiful little hotel and setting Relaxing environment calming music played by the pool Staff so happy to help us they cooked evening meal on arrival. Lovely breakfasts every morning. They go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. Arranged a tuk tuk to take us into town and around the beaches. Highly recommend.

Territory, garden, pool, staff service and accommodation

Dies war eine meiner Lieblingsunterkünfte in Sri Lanka!!! Ruhig in einem Vorort gelegen, kleines Anwesen, aber liebevoll gestaltet und die reizendsten und aufmerksamsten Mitarbeiter. Mit den Tuktuk ( sehr lustige und zuverlässige Fahrer, die vom Hotel gebucht werden) in wenigen Minuten im Zentrum. Das Sri Lankesische Frühstück - einsame Spitze. Der Pool - tatsächlich einmal erfrischend und wunderschön gelegen. Wir waren, wie so oft in diesen Wochen, die einzigen Gäste aufgrund von vielen Stornierungen wegen des Krieges im Iran. Ich bin jedoch sicher, das sich auch bei Belegung aller vier Zimmer, hier wunderbar gekümmert wird! Vielen Dank nochmals an das ganze Team !

La gentillesse de tout le personnel qui était aux petits soins, la situation au calme La qualité des cuisiniers

Odeur d’humidité dans la chambre et climatisation bruyante.

Serene environment. Beautiful pool, excellent food, great location and easy to get a Tuk Tuk to Galle fort without all the noise. Staff were great and were extremely helpful in particular Indika ( who also helped to arrange a driver to our next destination), Madusha and Lahilu. Room was lovely. Shower was hot and appreciated the fridge and tea and coffee in the room. I particularly recommend their Sri Lankan curry with all the veggie side dishes for dinner. The best one we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Would definitely stay again.

У нас был дом с 3 спальнями, дом супер, прекрасная территория. Живет красивый варан), иногда выходит. Очень приветливый и радушный персонал, говорят на Английском и чуть чуть-чуть по Русски. Все чисто, завтрак вкусный и сытный, Если захотите приготовят Ланкийский обед и ужин, цена такая же как и в кафе, возможно даже дешевле. До пляжа далековато и грязный, ездили на тук туке на Джанго бич и в Уну, на туке 15 мин. Очень рекомендую!

L’hôtel est vraiment charmant et le jardin très bien entretenu. Piscine très agréable. Chambre spacieuse et très jolie. Le fort était accessible en à peine 5 min de tuk tuk (commandé facilement grâce à l’app Pick Me). L’équipe de l’hôtel était vraiment très gentille !

On aurait aimé pouvoir avoir de la cuisine sri lankaise proposée au petit déjeuner (nous n’avions pas demandé la veille si c’était possible).

Le plus bel hotel que nous ayons fait au Sri Lanka sans aucun doute Personnel plus-que-parfait!

Rien a dire

Clean room with good breakfast

Price, not cheap

Und hat vor allem das sehr nette Personal gefallen, die für alles Tipps und Lösungen hatten. Wir waren in dem Haus untergebracht, das sehr viel Charme hat und inmitten eines sehr gepflegten Gartens liegt. Die Lage ist sehr gut, nur ca. 5 min mit dem Tuktuk nach Galle Fort.

Lovely small hotel 10 minutes to Galle Fort. Beautiful pool and garden, v friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. Bird filled garden. Very good value for money too

Nothing

The property is beautiful set amongst a tropical garden, away from the bustle of the beach areas and the busy localities. It is still near to the beach around 10 minutes on a Tuk Tuk to the beach and around 5 minutes to the Galle fort.the best feature of the property were its people, we were served by 3 gentlemen who took every little care of us. They cooked delicious srilankan food for us after consulting with us, not set menus, they just found out what we liked and catered us accordingly. The finest were the Bilin curry, the dried fish and the spicy beef. Everything else was excellent as well. They took great care of us, and they themselves were great company to spend the time in the evening.

Le personnel est très accueillant et très disponible pour notre organisation de visite et de transport

What a lovely hotel, and lovely staff! We enjoyed every second of it. Would recommend this for sure

Bilin Tree House is an exceptional place to stay. It’s perfectly located being near to Fort Galle, yet in a beautiful and tranquil oasis away from the noise. The welcome from the whole team was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble, and you really felt cared for without ever being intrusive. The facilities are great, the rooms spacious, and the pool is great for a swim in between sightseeing. We ate there in the evenings and the food was perfectly cooked and plentiful. I have no hesitation in recommending it…it’s a special find!

Nothing

Great hotel, tranquil setting. Staff were really helpful and friendly.

Such a beautiful little oasis, rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff were so helpful and friendly.

Just a bit out of the town but only 10 min by tuk tuk

Everything! The caretakers were so so nice. Spacious and comfortable room , made us feel like home :) 100/10 !

Just the distance from the main galle market is 3.2 kms. So tuktuks were a pain to book after 7pm

A very tranquil stay! All the staff were incredibly friendly and accomodating and the breakfast was great.

Petit hotel de charme , tres belle chambre avec boiseries, trés jolie salle de bain, grande terrasse avec vue sur le patio, la piscine dans son écrin de verdure , et les jolis toits d'un quartier de Galle city. Un tres beau frangipanier surplombe la piscine. Un martin pécheur bleu étincellant y restait perché. Des singes fréquentent la vegetation tous les soirs. Le personnel est trés attentionné. Un des messieurs nous a arrangé un service de Laundry trés efficace a un tarif imbattable . Repas sur place disponibles er tres bons, petit dejeuner continental trés bon.

A 10 min de transport de Galle fort, loin de l'agitation touristique. Un havre de paix. C'était parfait pour nous. Assurément un de nos couos de coeur.

Everything! Beautiful room, linen, tranquil location, beautiful breakfasts & such lovely, helpful staff

EVERYTHING 🌟🫶💫 Bilin Tree House is this magical piece of colonial architectural paradise hidden away from the hustle and bustle. We were lucky enough to book the 3 bedroom apartment and it is incredible. The house over 200 years old beautifully maintained and the private garden was just out of this world. We had 4 children and we just absolutely loved everything about this place. The staff and manager are just the kindest, sincere humans… honestly if you can get a room here you are so lucky. It was only 5-8 minutes by tuk tuk to the fort and we loved being able to explore the fort and shops etc but come back to paradise

We had to leave 😭

The property was very nice and cozy. The pool was really nice. The taste and quantity of the food was very good. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

NA

We loved our stay at Bilin, it was all good. The staff are just lovely and incredibly accommodating. We ate in the restaurant on the first night of our stay and it was my favourite meal so far! The hotel, pool and grounds are tranquil and very well maintained and the beds are super comfy. While not for everyone, the location (a couple of k from Galle Fort) suited us perfectly, overall a lovely space to enjoy Galle - would highly recommend - thank you. 😊

Wir haben uns im Bilin Tree House sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal war super nett und hilfsbereit. Es gab ein tolles Frühstück. Die Anlage ist sehr schön gestaltet und die Zimmer laden zum Wohlfühlen ein. Man ist super schnell in der Innenstadt von Galle.

Alojamiento agradable, bonito y cómodo. Como tiene pocas habitaciones es muy tranquilo y acogedor. El jardín es precioso y la piscina increíble. Las habitaciones cómodas y espaciosas. Cama genial. Desayuno muy rico. Personal encantador y súper servicial. Ubicación ok, en Tuk Tuk estás a un paso de la playa. Muy recomendable!

Отзывчивый персонал, чисто, уютно, красивое место, качественное убранство отеля, угощают соками и свежим кокосом

Разве что комары вечером на террасе, но это не проблема отеля, они есть на острове, в номерах кстати фумигаторы стоят, ночью в номере не беспокоит

Everything, the place is very beautiful, their local breakfast is very tasty, the room is super comfortable, clean and spacious and the staff they are very nice, warm, helpful and welcoming. In terms of of position we like how quite it is and only view minutes to go to the galle center and 15mnt to unawatuna by tuktuk perfect position for us

None

地理位置远离闹市，身处大自然的感觉，碧林树屋如名字一般被各种植物和树木包围，清幽宁静，很适合放松心情。酒店员工热情好客，提供所有需要的服务。早餐很可口。总之，十分推荐。

就餐区域的除蚊设备能再有效一些就更好了

It is a small property with 7 bedrooms in total. Nice cosy feel. Staff were really really nice. Very attentive. The SL food was nice. Very comfortable rooms. We took the three bedroom option which is so sensible if u have one or two children. Wish more hotels had these kind of rooms.

Not close to the beach. The beach that is mentioned as walkable distance from the hotel is quite a bit aways. But they offer you the use of their sister hotel( towels and pool and lounge area) which is on the beach in Unawatuna. That was a real bonus. And if I had to nit pick-did not like the tea bags in the room. Not enough SL food options. Pool is in the shade so water was always a bit cold.

Super Lage um sowohl Galle als auch Unawatuna in nur 10 Minuten per Tuktuk zu erreichen. Die Anlage ist perfekt um sich zu erholen und die Zimmer waren sehr schön, ein sehr gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Die Ausstattung ist modern und komfortabel, Frühstück war toll und das Personal überaus nett. Wir kommen gerne wieder - vielen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft!

Nichts, alles war super

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, idyllisch und gemütlich. Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlicj und sehr hilfsbereit! In der Unterkunft gibt es nicht viele Zimmer daher ist es sehr gemütlich. Das Frühstück ist ebenfalls lecker.

Attentive and friendly staff. Spacious, nicely decorated rooms. Quaint property with character.

It was incredibly beautiful, a calm oasis surrounded by trees and flowers. The room was well equipped and clean, the pool was fantastic and we felt so comfortable and relaxed here.

We came with an infant and we had the best time.The staff are excellent especially lal. They provided is with comfort and care from the beginning. It was our anniversary and they went out of the way to make it memorable. Highly recommend.

Everything was just perfect

Das Bilin Tree House war unsere letzte Unterkunft auf unserer Rundreise durch Sri Lanka. Wir waren sehr zufrieden! Wir haben uns nicht zuletzt wegen der hervorragenden Sauberkeit und der besonderen Freundlichkeit des Personals ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr zuvorkommend. Uns konnte bei allen unserer Anliegen weitergeholfen werden. Unsere wirklich sehr positive Erfahrung in dieser Unterkunft hat uns den Abschied von Sri Lanka nicht leicht gemacht. Wir können das Bilin Tree House mit sehr gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

What can we say about the Bilin Tree House.. This is an amazing hotel, set away from the fort but with easy access to. The hotel grounds and pool are beautiful and the rooms immaculate and tastefully decorated. The staff were impeccable and couldn’t do enough for us. Big thanks for all your care and kindness. Madusha’s breakfasts were amazing and absolutely delicious, one of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka!! The kindness and care giving by Indika, Lal and Lahiru was really above and beyond our expectations. Thank you all so much for making the start of our Sri Lanka adventure so special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BILIN TREE HOUSE!!

Loved everthing about it. Didn't like having to leave

Great hospitality! Delicious breakfast ! Great Atmosphere !!

The staff was excellent and the facility is serene with the pool.

Would like to have some more items like tissue boxes, utensils etc.

Great value for money. The staff were wonderful and the rooms were clean and well kept. We staying in the villa, so were able to spread out and enjoy the space. The pool was lovely too. Highly recommend.

It was just too good :)

Lizards and spiders

Ontzettend vriendelijk personeel, ze kunnen werkelijk prima koken, we hebben in seafood restaurants gegeten maar bij the bilin tree was het eten veel beter. Grote kamer. Met koelkastje. Grote badkamer voldoende handdoeken. Lekker rustige omgeving en toch ben je binnen 10-15 min bij Fort Galle en ook op het strand

Nosotros alquilamos la villa de 6 personas, las dos habitaciones de matrimonio son perfectas. El personal es muy atento y siempre a disposición y gracias a que entrase el desayuno nos ha ahorrado tiempo y dinero.

La 3a habitación que tiene dos camas individuales se queda pequeña y no hay ningun mueble para dejar equipaje/ropa…

Die Schaukel auf der Terasse, der Pool, die Äffchen in den Bäumen/Palmen

The lovely pool area, quiet vibe and large rooms

La tranquilidad del lugar, el jardín y la piscina, el personal, la amplitud de la habitación. Es un buen lugar para descansar

Si buscas algo que esté cerca del fuerte, esta no es la opción. El baño (estuvimos en una habitación de la planta baja) tiene un olor a humedad que tumba... Tienen que conseguir ventilarlo...

Absolument tout ! Petit paradis loin de l’agitation de Galle Belle architecture, décoration de la chambre soignée, beau jardin avec piscine agréable, personnel aux petits soins, très bons petits déjeuners continental ou sri lankais, musique douce, ambiance sereine Avons également profité du restaurant Tartaruga qui appartient au même propriétaire et de sa plage avec transats

Wonderful set up, lovely and helpful staff, great triple room for a family.

Absolutely beautiful from the buildings to the landscaping and pool to the rooms. Only 4 rooms plus the separate house so it was always quiet and it felt like we had it to ourselves. The staff were so friendly and attentive, happy to help with whatever we needed and answer questions. We had a midnight flight on our last day and they very kindly let us have a late checkout and enjoy a perfect peaceful final day in Galle for our last day in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was delicious, rooms were huge and very comfortable. Could not recommend more, you must book!

Nothing

Highly recommended!

Nothing really

We are family of 2 small kids. The hotel super amazing and accommodating. They make you feel welcome and friendly especially to our kids. The food is amazing. I really love the greenery in the hotel.. really unique small boutique hotel.. highly recommended.

Het personeel was ontzettend vriendelijk, niets was teveel. Ging ook superlief met onze kinderen om. We hadden het vakantiehuis, wat enorm ruim was, met een erg mooie tuin erbij. Alles netjes, zowel binnen als buiten. Eten en ontbijt was ook top!

Niets.

Gorgeous colonial building filled with beautiful antiques and luxurious beds. We all slept so well! Staff were incredibly kind. Breakfast was delicious. We were really sad to leave but will hopefully be back one day soon!

Wow. We arrived and fell in love with this accomodation right away. From the front door, the very friendly Welcome, beautiful garden, restaurant, pool and the high standaard toom; we loved it. High standard in Guest satisfaction in a Very Human way. Flexible to adjust to your needs. Great interaction with kids. Hight Quality materials in the room.

NOTHING 🤩

Just amazing. The accomidation is very nice secluded in the trees. You feel like you are in your own little paradise! The pool is the best, nice and big and clean. Rooms are spacious and the bed above is the best voor (older) kids with there own little window and some cussion for chilling. We had some problems in the room but the staff helpef us right away. I think the people that work here make the hotel even better thats why it is worth the 10. Food is very good (you should have dinner there especially the curry!) Even the owner and his wife are very friendly. We met them just before we left. He is an amazing architect for coming up with this. Just perfect for us!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Bilin Tree House ! Le jardin et la piscine sont magnifiques et reposants ! Le personnel est charmant et accueillant. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux, le logement confortable . C’est à 5-10 minutes de Galle en tuk tuk et c’est très facile d’accès . Je recommande cet établissement !

L'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel. Le raffinement de la propriété et des chambres, la piscine, le lieu de restauration ouvert sur le jardin et la piscine. La qualité du dîner et du petit déjeuner.

This was the nicest place we stayed during our trip. The rooms are beautiful, the staff are wonderful and the breakfast is delicious. I cannot recommend this place more. We were very sorry to leave. The staff are the best part. So nice, welcoming and helpful. We took a cooking class there which was brilliant, we had so much fun.

It is perfect.

A Peaceful Getaway in a Stunning Treehouse Setting We had a truly memorable stay at Bilin Tree House. The architecture is absolutely amazing — thoughtfully designed to blend beautifully with nature, creating a sense of peace and harmony from the moment you arrive. We were warmly welcomed by three friendly staff members who looked after us throughout our stay. Their hospitality made us feel right at home, and we honestly wish we could have stayed longer. Our room on the first was spacious, clean, and very comfortable — ideal for a relaxing retreat. We highly recommend Bilin Tree House to anyone looking for a quiet and serene escape. A perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature!

That said, there isn’t much to do outside the property itself, so we recommend planning your days with outdoor activities. Visiting the Galle Dutch Fort or spending time at Unawatuna beach are great options to complement your stay at Bilin Tree House.

The location is just 5-8 minutes by tuk-tuk from the Galle Fort, but it also offers a sanctuary to escape the heat with its gorgeous cold pool. The staff are incredible. The tuk tuk driver, Lahiru, is the most helpful, smiley person; he dropped us off and picked us up on numerous occasions. He works for Bilin Tree House, so getting around is super easy. We stayed in the cottage, which is a 300-year-old original bungalow. It is lovely and quiet. The staff let us stay for the day at Bilin Tree house as our departure from the airport was midnight. They even brought us towels and cold iced water while we swam in the pool. We will definitely come back to stay again. This was our last night after 2 weeks in Sri Lanka, and we were very sad to leave.

Nothing. Everything was great.

It was a peaceful oasis from the moment we stepped through the door. Our hosts were warm, thoughtful, helpful and informative.
