Super aardige man die je met alles wil helpen.

Great expérience. The host took care of us as a mother would.
Meilleure expérience de guest house pendant notre voyage au Sri Lanka. En plus d'avoir une très belle maison décorée avec soin et très confortable, nos hôtes ont été plus qu'accueillants : visites, snorkeling et déplacements en tuk tuk... nous regrettons juste de ne pas avoir pu rester longtemps

Helpful owners, taranga and nandana, were charming and provided a simple delicious breakfast. Location is north of Galle. Easy to get a Tuk Tuk into Galle. Loved the flowers casacading over the stairs and balconies
Nearby Galle is very quiet in the evening. I was with a teenager for whom nearby Unawatuna was more suited - we would base ourselves closer to that location in future.
Sehr nette Gastgeber, hilfsbereit und sehr zuvorkommend. Man konnte sich Tipps für seinen Aufenthalt in Galle holen. Die Lage in der Nähe des Strandes war auch sehr gut. Nach Galle hinein waren es ca. 10 min mit dem Tuk tuk (Parkplätze vorhanden). Ich kann die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und würde wieder hier übernachten. Die Zimmer sind sehr komfortabel und das Bett bietet einen guten Schlafcomfort.
Emplacement un peu excentré donc au calme, proche de la mer et accès rapide à Galle en tuktuk. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et serviables, nous avons passé un très bon séjour.
Rien, tout s’est bien passé
Very kind host family! Excellent breakfast, the host drove us to Fort Galle and the train station. He was super helpful in many things. The place is close to a beach about 100 meters. Part of it is a bit rocky, but if you walk along, it is more swimmable.
Nothing really negative, but they are in the process of renovating some things, so there might be some noise from workers, but they are adding more improvements to the place, like a pool and such, so in a couple of months it will be even better.
Hébergement au top un peu en retrait de la ville et proche de la mer loin des touristes Le propriétaire se fera un plaisir de vous emmener avec son tuktuk en ville ou même sur la plage aux tortues avec la panoplie masque et tuba pour les observer au plus près Une famille très accueillant et agréable Merci
Le TOP
Todo fue maravilloso. El trato de los dueños, la habitación, la localización... Os lo recomiendo muchísimo 💚
Felt like part of the family. The wonderful owner gave me a ride into town, I left me luggage there after checkout and when I retired to collect, his wife made me tea and cookies even when I checked out. Very clean rooms, beautiful balcony.
I did get locked out one night and had to burn the rope that was locking the gate to get in haha so just make sure to let the owner know if you will be late.
l'accueil ,la disponibilité des hôtes ,la vue mer et le délicieux rice and curry cuisiné maison . petit déjeuner sur la terrasse . vue sur végétation tropicale .
juste un peu loin du centre mais facile en bus et/ou tuk tuk . un peu de bruit sur la terrasse cause circulation main road
Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires. On nous a proposé de laver notre linge gratuitement. On a pu louer un scooter en très bon état qu'on nous a apporté à l'hôtel. La chambre est grande et très propre, avec une bouilloire. Eau chaude qui fonctionne très bien. Petit déjeuner : 2 œufs, toasts, et une belle assiette de fruits, thé, café. La situation nous allait bien car nous circulions en scooter. Il y a un supermarché typiquement local à 500 m qui vaut vraiment le détour 👍: idéal pour acheter des épices pas chers.
Le grand lit était constitué de 2 matelas de 90 cm, et pas tellement confortables (on sentait les ressorts...).
It’s a lovely private accommodation, close by the beach. Owner’s family is so friendly, talkative & anytime available to help with food, laundry, transportation, travel tips…
It’s not really within walking distance from the city fortress but the owner was happy to get us there in his tuk-tuk.
Jätteskön säng, vänliga ägare.
Nos gustó mucho la estancia porque también nos gusta el trato con el ambiente y las personas locales. La familia ha sido muy amable con nosotros, hemos desayunado y cenado en el alojamiento también. La habitación estaba limpia, ordenada y con lo necesario. El alojamiento no está en el centro, pero da a la carretera general y hay mucho transporte que te lleva tanto a las playas del norte como hacia la zona del Forte.
Very friendly and helpful hosts.
非常不错,老板一家人特别好,帮我们解决了一些问题
可以增加一个衣服挂架
A very nice village style two storied home stay with lots of tress inside the premises. Hosts (uncle-aunty) were very nice, served us with English breakfast with fruits and was reasonably charged.
We spent 3 nights at Lahiru Villa and it was magnificent. The homestay is managed by a family, who are genuinely good people - they care of all of your needs and are very friendly and approachable. They also cooked delicious food for us. The room was very comfortable and clean. The location is also easily accessible to all parts of Galle and nearby areas.
La camera è spaziosa, pulita e con aria condizionata. Colazione abbondante fatta sul terrazzo vista mare. La famiglia che ci ha ospitato è molto gentile e carina. In pochi minuti di tuk tuk si può raggiungere il forte di Galle
È possibile che entrino degli insetti nel bagno
Super kind family.
Noises from the street.
Ottima struttura con camere molto grandi a qualche minuto di tuk tuk dal forte di Galle ma a 200m da una bella spiaggia. Personale disponibile e accogliente. Camera senza fronzoli ma pulita. Colazione nella media, niente di eccezionale ma buona, servita su un balconcino vista mare. Molto apprezzato il fatto che ci abbia lasciato la camera un paio di ore oltre l'orario di check out su nostra richiesta. Rapporto qualità prezzo in zona credo imbattibile
Lamento leer tantos comentarios buenos de este sitio cuando mi experiencia no ha sido la adecuada. Todos los sitios donde nos hemos alojado durante estos 21 días en Sri Lanka es en el único donde no hemos estado a gusto, no por el lugar ni por la limpieza porque era correcto y estaba todo bien sino por el trato recibido de la mujer del hotel. Primero preguntamos si tenía un spray ya que nos encontramos por la noche cucarachas en la habitación (cosa normal por el país que es) a lo que la propietaria subió a darnos esprai picando varias veces a la puerta cuando le estábamos diciendo que esperara un momento ya que estábamos en la cama, yo intenté explicarle que ya las habíamos matado a lo que ella me comentó que mi inglés era malo y no lo entendía. Después de todo comentamos que queríamos desayuno (éramos 2) y ella procede a preguntarnos que a qué hora le comentamos que a las 10am y a las 9:40 ya estaba picando de malas maneras a la puerta para despertarnos y que desayunáramos. Al salir a desayunar solo había un plato una taza y unos cubiertos para una sola persona siendo dos. Mi pareja tuvo que decirle que faltaba un desayuno… a la hora de despedirnos no nos ha dicho ni adiós. Salimos muy decepcionados.
El personal
-le matelas et les coussins étaient exceptionnels !! les plus confortables que j’ai eu durant mes 3 semaines au Sri Lanka !!!! -très propre -petit déjeuner au top pour 1000 roupies !
-la clim est un peu bruyante mais avec des boules quies ça passe -difficulté à trouver un tuktuk ce matin sur PickMe pour aller à la gare, mais j’ai fini par en avoir un au bout de 15min
Camera molto spaziosa e terrazza con vista mare dove poter fare colazione. Staff molto cordiale e disponibile
Purtroppo siamo rientrati molto tardi la sera e siamo partiti molto presto al mattino per cui non abbiamo potuto pagare con la carta ma solo contanti perché il figlio del proprietario non era presente
This a quiet place. I will go next time again. It’s very close to the nature. Host is very good and cooperative person.
Die Lage zum Beach war sehr gut. Man geht nur ein paar Meter, dann über die Straße durch eine Hotelanlage und ist an einem sehr schönen und sauberen Strand. Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich.
The room was on the top floor with views of the ocean. We really enjoyed being on the terrace and just looking out. The rooms were big and spacious. Great value for money.
There was no fan in the room just the ac. If we wanted to keep the windows open to let in the fresh ocean breeze, that was not possible. Everything else was excellent.
装修很复古田园,女主人很好很浪漫,为我们准备鲜花布置。早上早餐也很好会提前确认时间,推荐海景房,阳台很好,吃早餐有海有树有鸟,但海会被遮住、还是很美。女主人打理的很用心。
Lovely clean spacious room, the sea view is worth getting. Fabulous food, good size breakfast, lovely host.
Quite far from the fort area.
Super clean Place beautiful

A really nice farm stay experience! The owner is extremely friendly, and chatting with them was so enjoyable—they made us feel right at home. What I loved most was the freedom here. The opening and closing times are very reasonable, which gave us plenty of flexibility to plan our days. Location-wise, it’s a winner: super close to the beach, and just a 7-8 minute drive to the city center. Overall, it’s highly recommended. The value for money is fantastic—definitely worth a stay!

Quiet location and good staff support species room with clean bathroom
Air condition did not work properly
Nice location, really close to Galle Fort but in a more calm and relaxing area. Really nice view and really kind owner !
Lahiru Villa is truly a great place to stay! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner and his wife, both of whom are incredibly friendly and kind-hearted. The hospitality here is outstanding and genuinely heartfelt. The rooms are cosy, neat, and spotlessly clean. The air conditioning and geyser both work perfectly, ensuring a comfortable stay in any weather. One of the highlights was the beautiful sea view from the balcony — you can hear the soothing sound of the waves, which adds a peaceful and relaxing touch to the stay. Breakfasts at Lahiru Villa are exceptional. Everything is homemade and prepared with care by the owner’s wife, and the food is absolutely delicious. We were especially impressed when they went out of their way to prepare an early breakfast for us before 6:00 AM, so we could eat before catching a 6:48 AM train. On top of that, the owner kindly offered us a free tuk-tuk ride to the railway station — such a thoughtful gesture! The villa is conveniently located, with tuk-tuks to Galle city or Galle Fort costing just 250–300 LKR and taking less than 10 minutes. Overall, Lahiru Villa offers an unforgettable experience with warm hospitality, comfort, and excellent value. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
Superbe villa la vue est belle de la chambre À côté de tout en scooter ou tuktuk
It’s very cute, calm and quiet. The host was very nice and helpful we had a great breakfast with a nice view. The pick me Tuktutk are coming easily to the residence.

La chambre était propre, spacieuse et les hôtes étaient adorables et soucieux de notre confort et notre séjour. Les repas aussi très bon. La maison est un magnifique établissement entourée d’une végétation luxuriante et de jolis oiseaux.
I stayed at this charming hotel during my month-long trip to Sri Lanka, and I absolutely loved it. From the moment I arrived, the staff’s warm hospitality was outstanding—every request was met with genuine care and a friendly smile. Breakfast was a highlight: beautifully presented dishes bursting with fresh tropical flavors and perfectly spiced local specialties. Dinner was equally impressive, showcasing the very best of Sri Lankan cuisine. With its exceptional service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, this hotel made my trip unforgettable.
The room was incredible, the view, the kindness of the staff, the quality of the breakfast, everything was just perfect!!

乾淨舒適 坐嘟嘟車到古城約10分鐘,車資不貴
お部屋はとても綺麗でお花の良い香りがしました。 豊かな自然に囲まれていてリラックスすることができます。オーナーさんもとても優しく穏やかな方で安心して泊まることができました。 ありがとうございました! Sthuthi 🌸
老板夫妇很善良,很热情。他们有一个小本子,上边是住宿客人的寄语,很有纪念意义。他们跟之前一对入住客人的回忆也特别让人感动。我也留下了自己的文字,很开心😁
It was a very nice green and relaxing place to stay
It has nothing I didn’t like
Een hele fijne en comfortabele kamer met prachtig uitzicht over de zee. De eigenaren zijn ontzettend aardig en hebben ons heel fijn geholpen om de bus te vinden richting de luchthaven. Hij heeft ons zelf naar het busstation gebracht met z'n tuktuk. Heel fijn verblijf en goede prijs kwaliteitverhouding!
Werkelijk een fantastisch verblijf bij een ontzettende fijne en hartelijke familie. We hadden de kamer met zee uitzicht en het was precies wat we nodig hadden. Je hebt een lekker zitje buiten de kamer waar je prachtig op de zee uitkijkt. Het bed en de badkamer waren fijn en schoon. We hebben omdat we het hier zo naar ons zin hadden zelfs nog een nachtje bijgeboekt. Met onze eigen tuktuk waren we in 5-10 minuten in het fort.
The location, near the beach, was awesome. Also there is a local hypershop called RTS, there you can get very good quality of foods with very cheap prize.
Tout….les chambres spacieuses, confortables et climatisées, les jolies terrasses pour le petit déjeuner, la gentillesse des hôtes….

Lovely hosts, organised good value transport for us and breakfast was great thank you for a lovely stay
The bed was so comfortable and the balcony.
The ants in the room.
By and large pleasant stay.we were expecting a kitchen space that wasn't there.room size,cleanliness was decent.bathrooms not upto mark.the property owner was helpful and friendly though communicating in English was a problem.
Tout était parfait 👍
Heel fijn verblijf met een groot bed, warm water, goede wifi en vooral bij hele lieve mensen. Met de tuktuk of bus ben je zo bij Galle centrum. Bedankt voor jullie gastvrijheid
Great place to stay. Felt very comfortable. Well looked after and breakfast was brilliant. Thank you
I had to leave.
Our room was so beautiful, just 5 minutes with Tuk Tuk from the fort but surrounded by trees and with a nice view of the ocean. The room was one of the most beautiful and comfortable we had in Sri Lanka, better than a 5 star hotel!
Our room was lovely and clean, with a large and very comfortable bed. The air-conditioning worked well, the water was hot, and the wifi worked fine. We had the room on the upper floor where the views of the sea, the palm trees, birds, and bats were amazing. Breakfast of omelette, toast, marmalade plus fresh fruit was great. We also ate dinner (vegetable curry and rice, with side dishes) each night, which was very tasty and good value for money. The location is about 10 mins in a Tuk Tuk from Galle Railway and bus stations. We walked it every day, and it took around 30 mins at a reasonable pace.
Clean, spacious room. Helpful family who runs the place.
The owner was very helpful offering us tips and advice on how best to navigate the city. The bed was very big and the shower nice and warm. Very good value to money.
Sehr nette Gastgeberin, wunderschöner Ausblick, Frühstück mit Ausblick auf der Terrasse, sehr sauber!
Relativ hellhörig, in der Nachbarschaft hat die ganze Zeit ein Pfau geschrien
Beautiful room, spacious and equipped with air conditioning, a tea kettle, and a large bathroom. For a small additional fee, I was able to have breakfast, which I highly recommend—not only was it delicious, with fresh fruit, but there are no restaurants nearby. On top of that, the kindness of the hosts is truly incredible!
Beautiful building with terrace areas with seating. Rooms clean and spacious. Quick tuk tuk to Fort. Great food and hospitality, good value.

This was one of our favorite stays in Sri Lanka. The hosts were super nice, the room was big and bright and the best part was the view of the sea and the nature around! We saw monkeys, peacocks and a lot of other birds. Breakfast was good as well.
Sehr liebe Gastgeberfamilie, waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Das Zimmer war sauber und das Frühstück auf der Terrasse gut.
Sauberes kleines Zimmer sehr gepflegt, schöne kleine Anlage im Grünen, sehr ruhig, tolle Gastgeberin , unbedingt abends Cury und Rice dazubuchen, kleiner Strand und Supermarkt in 7 Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen, an der Schildkrötenauffangstation Bus nach Galle hält fast vor der Tür, 10-15: Minuten Fahrt, sehr unkompliziert
Chambre confortable et propre avec climatisation et eau chaude. Maison très agréable et un peu à l' écart de la route principale qui mène a Galle mais tout de même très proche. Près des plages. Famille très gentille et à l' écoute. J'ai pu louer un scooter par leur entremise sans complication. Galle a 3km. Restaurants à proximité du logement. Des thés m'ont été servis et du linge lavé sans coût supplémentaire. Je recommande
