Our stay was really amazing. The rooms were spacious and spotless, the pool was perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Galle Fort, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout our stay. Had reliable wifi throughout the property and locations is minutes off the beach. Will recommend to anyone. 10/10
Sıcak ve samimi güler yüzlü insanlar
Su hidrofor pompası gece çalışıyor ve çok ses yapıyor
Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, freundlich und modern eingerichtet. Das Personal ist sehr gastfreundlich und zuvorkommend. Es gab traditionelles Essen, was perfekt war. Ein Pool zum Abkühlen ist vorhanden sowie auch Parkplätze. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist passend. Wenn wir wieder nach Sri Lanka kommen, dann auch wieder in diesem schönen Hotel.
La proprete la gentillesse .lescrepas corrects
Le personnel fait ce qu il peut mais n a pas de formation et cela se voit bien. On arrose le gazon quand vous etes sur la chaise longue à la piscine. La chambre reste tel quelle .le lit pas refait. Pas de tv en chambre 3 alors que dans le descriptif il y a une tv
Très jolie déco, chambre spacieuse, jolie hôtel et employers très sympa
Humidité dans les chambre, pas de bar, service un peu long
The design is beautiful, sheets are lovely great pool super friendly and helpful staff
The manager was so helpful and friendly. We had such a lovely stay. The rooms were decorated to a good standard . We enjoyed swimming in the pool which was very well maintained . Some games were provided , we enjoyed playing darts and ping pong. We enjoyed the location, in walking distance to Thalpe beach where there was a natural swimming pool with rocks to break the intensity of the waves.
It was all good.
Близко к океану, бассейн, хороший персонал
Не всегда была возможность заказать еду в отеле. Уборка в номере по запросу. Шум от поездов - рядом железная дорога. В номере отсутствовал вентилятор
Schönes großes Zimmer mit geräumigem Badezimmer.
It is a small hotel, with very friendly staff. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the games room and that the hotel was in a quiet area. It is close to a railway track but the noise didn’t bother us at all. The rooms and dining area have a surf vibe which was nice. It was the first place I arrived to that I was relaxed and comfortable in straight away. It felt like a lot of thought went into the design of the hotel. The food was lovely too. We stayed 3 nights and would happily have stayed longer.
As it was in a quiet area you needed to get a tuk tuk most places but it was very easy and cheap to get tuk Tuks. We mainly ordered them on uber.
Тихое место, бассейн, близко к океану. Очень приятный персонал. Настольный теннис
Телевизор не работал, вентилятора в комнате не было. Уборка только по запросу. Не было зубной пасты и щеток
Good and clean property. Staff is very attentive, we got Sri Lankan meals during our stay with freshly caught fish & prawns. Enjoyed the stay very much.
Very nice rooms, comfortable beds, nice bathroom with separated shower (glass cover). The garden is beautiful and the atmosphere very cozy and calm. Good restaurant inside the hotel too. Definitely recommend!
Nice hosts and clean! Beach with sea turtles nearby! Hosts are happy to show you the turtles!
Stylish , comfortable and peaceful . Well kept pool and garden . Large and comfortable rooms with lovely bed / sheets. Slept very well . . The staff really take care of you . Great service. Afker cooks some quality food . The” lamprais” Found on his menu is a traditional dish that is very special . Delicious.

A lovely villa with an excellent pool! The true heart of this place is its amazing staff — people with big hearts who made my stay so special. I had wonderful days there. Great location, just 10 minutes from Unawatuna.
Die Zimmer waren sehr groß und gemütlich. Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Propere mooie en ruime kamer en badkamer. Zalig zwembad en lekker eten. De bbq is een aanrader! Het personeel is erg lief en behulpzaam. Wij zouden zo terug willen komen!

It's my second visit to this property. It's a very calm place and I liked the fact that it was not crowded. The staff were friendly.
1) Hotel was undergoing repairs - this was not advised when checking in. 2) The staff were very polite and helpful however, they need to be told that they cannot be yelling at the repairmen from the ground floor to the first floor when the guests are in the area. The guy managing the place did this while I was in the lobby. 3) The inability to get food or drink in the evenings/ night as there is no staff. - No milk provided for tea/coffee service in the room. The terms of the hotel in providing food and drink should be very clearly detailed when booking. This time I was told repeatedly that the policies of the hotel had changed so I was not able to cook some extras like the last time. 4) It's not a hotel I would go on a solo travel as there is no one on the premises at night.
Wir waren während der Nebensaison vor Ort. Daher hatten wir die komplette Anlage für uns. Die Anlage war sehr gepflegt sowie der Pool auch sauber. Jeden Morgen wurde uns auf Wunsch entweder Englisch Breakfast oder Sri Lanka Breakfast frisch zubereitet. Das Personal war super lieb. Die Zimmer waren sauber Es gibt Poolhandtücher
Es wurde viel saniert und renoviert (Nebensaison) Es ist sehr hellhörig. Keine dauerhaft besetzte Rezeption Kein Putzservice in 5 Tagen Aufenthalt Ingesamt 6 Liegen für alle Gäste
Beautiful place with a very clean, spacious room, good air conditioning, comfortable beds, and a lovely shower. There's a cozy open-plan living area and a garden with a beautiful pool. Two small shops around the corner for water, and the beach is a two-minute walk away.
The breakfast selection was limited, but then again, it was low season. It's a bit further from the two larger town centers, but easily accessible on foot or by tuk-tuk.
The food was very tasty. The location was not a deciding factor as I wanted to stay in the area. There is construction going on, so it's best to keep the guests advised of this. Overall it was a good and relaxing experience, Ravindu who was attending to us was very good. Will be back.
The WiFi was not working and did not work on both days. Furthermore, it's best to keep the guests advised well in advance about the operations of the villa so that everyone is on the same page. Eg: Extra charges for using the kitchen.
Breakfast was very nice. The location was perfect away from the hustle and the bustle yet close to Galle.

We rented then entire villa for 2 families. The internal and external property was ideal and the games area great for the kids.

Calm environment and friendly stuff ❤️
Really clean and modern place, good breakfast
Quiet place, beach is small but silent. You can swim safely, no waves!
Breakfast starts at 8.30, there is no possibility to get it earlier. Rooms need refreshment.
super clean, spacious, stylis, well equipped, this is far above the sri lankan average apartmant quality

The villa was very clean, tidy and comfortable.. Thanks to Douglas for his welcoming and Afkar for his delicious Sri Lankan food. We felt like at home as we could use the kitchen and the swimming pool at all times.
First of all, I want to note 3 things: First, the hospitality and friendliness of the villa staff, everything was great. Second, the excellent breakfasts and excellent cuisine, I express special thanks to Afkar. Third, the cleanliness and order in the kitchen, in the villa, in the pool and on the territory.
We had an amazing stay, would definitely recommend. The rooms are very clean and each room has a very beautiful bathroom. Each room is also equipped with a save, where you can put valuable things. The pool in the middle is the heart of the villa and has a good temperature. Also there was a table tennis table and other games. We had the opportunity to store things in the fridge and wash our clothes in the washing machine. The breakfast Afkar prepared for us offered a big variety. There was always fresh filtered water in the kitchen. Afkar and Douglas were always available if we had any questions. At the end we stayed one day longer because we loved it so much.
Breakfast various and good. Nice pool.
Not clean. Wi-fi and mobile internet not working. No cleaning during 4-night stay. Tv-s not working.
Comfortable rooms & washrooms, very clean. Love the vintage look and the interior. The pool was clean, table tennis & some games were there. We had a very comfortable stay at Southern Heritage on September. The place was very calm, comfortable, cozy. The breakfast was spectacular with Sri Lankan string hoppers, pol rotti & that was delicious. All the other facilities like WiFi, tea/ coffee making machines, cooling machines were there. Even you can cook yourself if you want. The place is amazing, safe & worth the price.
Nothing to complain about. Everything is great
Very nice and large villa with 5 guest rooms, exceptional breakfast (thanks to Afkar) and large pool. Friendly staff and lots of kitchen equipment await you Large beds and bathrooms Quiet place a bit off the beach area Our kids enjoyed the pool a lot Perfect stay for large group or family
The location is a bit far of the large supermarkets, also only 1 restaurant close by (Shanti Shanti) which had open that time (mid April). Some insects in the building and rooms (but only a few - so only minor issue)
Absolutely gorgeous. Beds super comfortable, very clean rooms and great bathrooms (showers were awesome) The kitchen is very well equipped - can do own cooking from scratch if you want too - blender, air fryer, microwave, oven and hobs all in good working order. There is also a washing machine and dishwasher. The beach at the end of the road is fab and has a protected area for little poems to swim… just head right a bit. Also a nice Italian restaurant (WB). The little shop/homestay at the end of the road is useful and they do great curries which we took away to the house.
The open air nature of the living area means it is very very hot… with only 2 fans this means it is hard to keep cool. No fans in the kitchen so gain, very hot. Also very difficult to keep flies away, which was a little annoying. Location is a little isolated.
Very spacious property Full freedom and the place to ourselves Comfortable and clean rooms Kitchen was well equipped
Superb stay in ideal location..shops all your essentials nearby plus added bonus of beautiful beaches nearby also..big shout for Afkar and Douglas who were always there to help!!! And main man Sampath who was always willing to go extra mile..Il definitely will be revisiting in near future..I highly recommend the Southern Heritage 🙏❤
