Villa Aroshina with cooking class

Beautiful house, very spacious and clean. Aroshina and her family are really lovely, friendly and helpful. The cookery class was such good fun - great thing to do. Highly recommended.

The room was perfect, the cooking class was amazing, but what this experience made the best was Aroshina and her husband. They are amazing people who go above and beyond your expectations.

The most wonderful homestay with the loveliest of families. Aroshina and her family were so welcoming and kind. The room was clean and so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, all within 1 KM of the Fort. Would highly recommend!

Aroshina and her family were the kindest hosts, willing to drop you to the fort and local beaches in their tuk tuk. Room was perfect size and clean, had everything you'd need.

Nothing!

Design and comfort, beautifully furnished with antiques and plants everywhere. Lovely common areas and all the comforts of being at home. Very peaceful and quiet at night. A little oasis out of the city. Aroshina is a phenomenal and welcoming host, she was so warm and helpful and nothing was too much of an ask. Her cooking class was fantastic too. Her husband Manju took us to many places in his tuktuk including to run errands and also to a few cultural places we didn’t know about like a weaving factory. If you want to have a really genuine experience in Sri Lanka and truly connect with people you will love it here! Words can’t even explain how wonderful it is, you just have to experience it for yourself!

Sehr nette Gastgeber. Ich habe mich sofort wohlgefühlt.

Das Zimmer ist ausreichend groß, hat einen kleinen Balkon, Klimaanlage und Ventilator und ein gutes Mückennetz. Das Frühstück konnten wir frei wählen und war super lecker mit traditionellem Essen, Ei und frischen Früchten. Es gibt einen kleinen Garten mit Lounge und Outdoorküche von dem aus man Affen und Vögel beobachten kann. Aroshina und ihr Mann sind die aufmerksamsten und nettesten Gastgeber, hatten viele Tipps für uns, und haben uns mit dem TukTuk von A nach B gefahren. Ein Highlight ist die Cooking class, welche man auch buchen kann wenn man nicht hier übernachtet. Aroshina ist eine wahnsinnig gute Köchin und wir haben mehrere traditionelle Gerichte von den Grundlagen an zu kochen gelernt. Sehr lecker

Very warm welcome by a very friendly owner

Stile della struttura e la gentilezza dei proprietari sempre disponibili a risolvere le nostre richieste . Piacevolissima serata di scuola di cucina singalese

Nulla se no un problema di’ Booking. Se si copia l’indirizzo e si incolla su google Maps il mezzo di trasporto ti porta da una parte opposta al luogo corretto. Quindi scrivere villa Roshina

Vom 22.02.2026-24.02.2026 war ich Gast in der Villa Aroshina with cooking class. Insgesamt gibt es drei Zimmer,schlicht,aber sauber und einen kleinen,schönen Innenhof mit Außenküchen und Eßplatz. Ich habe mich sofort heimisch gefühlt, was auch an der sehr herzlichen und offenen Art von Aroshina liegt. Mit den anderen Gästen ist man sofort im Kontakt und geniesst zusammen das leckere und üppige Frühstück. Leider konnte ich durch Rückenproblemen nicht an der cooking class teilnehmen, durfte aber gerne probieren. Das Essen war köstlich, eine Geschmacksexplosion im Mund. Sehr zu empfehlen!! Da meine Kreditkarte in Galle von den ATMs nicht akzeptiert wurde, hat Aroshinas Ehemann mir durch eine Umtauschmöglichkeit mit sehr guten Konditionen gerne weitergeholfen und mich später auch noch unentgeltlich zum Bahnhof gebracht. Ich bin sehr dankbar für die beiden Tage, die ich hier verbracht habe und würde,sollte es sich ergeben, auch gerne wiederkommen. Verena Heibach,Germany

Ich war insgesamt zwei Nächte dort und habe mich von Anfang an unglaublich wohlgefühlt. Aroshina ist eine super herzliche Frau, die sich mit ganzem Herzen um ihre Gäste kümmert und wirklich alles dafür tut, dass man sich willkommen und gut aufgehoben fühlt. Wir hatten eine absolut fantastische Cooking Class bei Aroshina! Es gab unglaublich viele frische Zutaten, die wir sogar selbst auf dem Markt eingekauft und anschließend gemeinsam vorbereitet haben. Alles war super organisiert und wir durften bei jedem Schritt mithelfen – vom Schneiden bis zum Würzen. Aroshina ist wirklich eine Kochgöttin! Sie kann einfach alles und erklärt mit so viel Leidenschaft, Geduld und Können. Man merkt sofort, wie viel Erfahrung und Liebe sie ins Kochen steckt. Die Kombination aus Cooking Class und Übernachtung war perfekt und hat das Erlebnis noch besonderer gemacht. Ich kann die Cooking Class mit Übernachtung zu 100 % weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank für dieses unvergessliche Erlebnis! 🌟❤️

Wunderschöne und liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft mit sehr lieben Gastgebern. Sehr bequeme Betten, tolle Dekoration und komfortables Zimmer. Ich wurde zudem zu einem Ausflug in den Kanneliya Regenwald und mit dem Tuktuk durch Galle gefahren. Auch der Kochkurs der Unterkunft war großartig! Das Essen war das beste, was ich in Sri Lanka in 4 Wochen hatte. Mit dem Tuktuk ist man auch super schnell in Galle Fort. Volle Empfehlung!

Alles war gut.

Une très jolie maison décorée avec goût et dans laquelle on se sent bien. Aroshina a été aux petits soins pour nous et son mari nous a conduit dans le centre avec son tuk tuk dès que nous en avions besoin.

We really enjoyed our time in this cute family-run accomodation. Aroshina and her husband did everything they could to make it a pleasant stay for us. The food is amazing and they even picked us up from the train station and waved down the correct bus for a next leg of the journey. Would definitely recommend, including the cooking class 💛.

Nothing

Villa accueillante au charme certain. Aroshina et son mari sont particulièrement chaleureux et attentionnés. Jolie chambre, lit très confortable. Grande douche. Très bon séjour que nous recommandons sans réserve.

Rien.

Aroshina und ihre Familie sind extrem herzlich und wollen immer helfen. Man hat ein bisschen mehr das Gefühl zu besuchen als einfach nur irgendwo zu sein was wir deutlich schöner fanden als ein seelenloses Hotel. Das Frühstück und die cooking Class waren unglaublich gut!

Ein bisschen Staub unter dem Bett aber nichts schlimmes.

La amabilidad de la familia. Manju nos llevó todo el día en Tuk Tuk a ver diferentes playas, nos paraba en cada sitio que veíamos bonito y nos espero cuando queríamos quedarnos más rato.

La ducha no tragaba el agua y estaba encharcado.

famille très accueillante, aux petits soins ! petit déjeuner copieux. Tout était parfait!

Ras

Da Aroshina é stato come essere in famiglia. Tutto perfetto, bellissima anche l’esperienza nella cooking class.

De gastvrouw is een enorm lieve vrouw, samen met haar man willen ze er alles aan doen dat je een fijn verblijf hebt. Je wordt hartelijk ontvangen met een welkomstdrankje. De man brengt je rond voor een oké prijs naar de mooie plekjes in Galle. De accommodatie ligt centraal in een rustige straat. De accommodatie is erg mooi ingericht en het ontbijt is goed!

Arosha is een ontzettend lieve gastvrouw, die alles voor je wil regelen. Het koken met haar was heerlijk, beste van Sri Lanka! Hele fijne kamer, warme douche, airco etc.

Alles was zoals beschreven en verwacht en meer.

L’accueil,l’hospitalité, l’emplacement, la communication facile et l’endroit charmant !

Beautiful homestay, comfy bed and very friendly and welcoming hosts.

Nothing.

Aroshina has created a truly lovely space; the room was exceptionally cozy. The family is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel right at home. However, the host's enthusiastic promotion of her cooking class (which is a separate cost) could be slightly less insistent. While we enjoyed the class, the number of dishes (fifteen or more) made it more of an assisting role than a guided experience. In my opinion, it would be more pleasant experience if we would reduce the number of dishes, get more structure, and have a shorter workshop so we could better remember the recipes and ingredients. Also, a significant amount of food was prepared and ultimately unused. Finally, extensive photos and videos are taken during the class, so inform the hosts beforehand if you prefer not to be filmed. In summary, the accommodation is lovely and welcoming, but a few minor adjustments could enhance the overall comfort and experience for all guests.

This is a beautiful place to stay - Aroshina and her family take care of you like one of their own. The room was stylish, clean and had a huge double bed - plus there was a lovely lounge area and balcony to relax on. The breakfast was delicious and very generous portion sizes. Thanks so much for a brilliant stay!

Lovely place to stay in Galle proper, away from the tourist area. Easy to get down to Galle Fort via Tuk Tuk and within walkable distance if you want to. We did and enjoyed the hustle and bustle of Galle town. Aroshina and Manju are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

Aroshina was lovely and homely and the result of the cooking class was amazing. The room was delightfully furnished and spotless. The atmosphere was very pleasant, friendly and relaxing. The communication was superb. I even got transported to the railway station for free early in the morning.

We had an incredible stay, so friendly and welcoming. The included breakfast was delicious

Mrs Aroshina the host is really sweet and her whole family..... made us feel home away from home and had an amazing cooking class..

We loved our stay at Villa Aroshina. Aroshina and her family are all really kind and welcoming. Aroshina made our stay very special and we loved talking to her. We highly recommend the cooking class, the food was really delicious! The room and facilities were great with good AC. The villa is well located, a short tuk tuk away from Galle Fort

Nothing

Loved the fact it was a genuine family home and we were treated as family. Clean and very comfortable bed. I recommend doing the cooking course - just brilliant. Taken to train station at the end of our stay which was a lovely touch. Walkable to Galle fort too.

There was nothing to dislike about the villa.

Nice house with balkony to sit on and open kitchen in which we got an amazing cooking class. The room was nice and clean. Very nice and helpful family!

The host family of Ms Aroshina, ms Aroshina's passion, her wonderful breakfast, beautiful interior and patio, the nature, chance to learn more about Sri Lankan life, so many animals to see

Can be noisy at night. Travellers must be aware that this is not the most luxurious accommodation but a chance to get to know local people, experience home made food, and so on. Unfortunately we couldn't make the cooking class because it starts at 4pm, which was a bit earlier than we expected.

We had a lovely two night stay at Villa Aroshina. It was super accommodation with lovely decoration. We had a clean and comfortable room with air conditioning and ceiling fan. It was lovely and quiet for a very good night's sleep. The shower was hot at all times of the day (which is a first in our trip!) Breakfast was freshly prepared and delicious. For those who love cooking, definitely book a cookery class in the outdoor kitchen. Aroshina was such a wonderful host with her hospitality. Always on hand to help or answer questions. Her kind husband took us to and from the hospital for some urgent medical treatment (thank you). The villa is situated close to the fort and only a few minutes by tuk tuk or bus from the main road. We also walked and it was around 20-25 minutes spending on your pace. Overall we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend Villa Aroshina. If we ever come back to Galle we will definitely stay there again.

Everything was good

Aroshina and Manju were such great hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. Extremely helpful and the food we had for dinner and breakfast was fantastic. We also got to see monkeys in the trees of the garden Good location and a beautiful home. Highly recommend this home stay

Lovely warm family welcome, close enough to the fort area without the inflated costs. We didn't have enough time to experience Aroshina's cooking class but will next time we stay

Nothing to complain about

From the moment you arrive at the property you are made to feel welcome and part of the family. I received a warm welcome from Manju - when he met me at the railway station. I received another warm welcome from Aroshina, when I arrived at the homestay. Everything was kept spotlessly clean throughout my entire stay. The breakfast was incredible. Aroshina and Manju are extremely hard working people who run an excellent homestay. The accommodation is about a 20 minute walk from the centre.

It was perfect. Lovely room. Aroshina and her family are so welcoming and kind. They have made their villa perfect for their guests. The cooking class was amazing. So many tasty curries to try. Aroshina is a wonderful cooking teacher. The breakfasts were great. Aroshina is lovely to have a chat too aswell. She makes you feel like family. It’s really lovely to support a local family business. Also we saw monkeys at breakfast!

There was nothing we didn’t like.

The hosts were so nice! And breakfast was very delicious.

Very very small room, bathroom was not very clean unfortunately.

Super friendly family home. Beautiful home with excellent breakfast. Met people who loved the cookery class and although we didn't t do it they were kind enough to invute us to try the delicious food they had made. A peaceful and relaxing home with very welcoming and helpful hosts. Just a short bus or tuk tuk ride to the fort. This place is superb. Thanks.

Nothing all was good.

Friendly hosts with lovely breakfast provided. Very helpful with recommendations.

Room was a little small. The cooking class is available at additional cost - we only stayed one night so unfortunately didn’t have time to do it.

Best place to stay in all of Sri Lanka. Aroshina is a wonderful and welcoming host and her place is beautiful. The bed is comfortable and the breakfast was epic. Do yourself a massive favour and book a stay here. One night won’t be long enough!

Super quiet, peaceful space with lovely furniture and delicious breakfast.

Nothing, but worth noting the cooking class is not included in the price.

Aroshina and her husband are really nice hosts, always trying to accomodate you and making sure your stay is perfect! It is a really nice house in a quiet neighbourhood, the room was great with fan and AC. We have not done the cooking class but have smelled and tried once the food (thank you to the nice couple who shared their preparations with us) and one thing for sure we will come back and do the cooking class next time around!

Wonderful hospitality. Very kind hosts who couldn’t do enough to help us enjoy our time in Galle. Cookery class was excellent!

Nothing

Wonderful place to stay and experience a bit of local culture and cooking. Rooms were clean, comfortable with air con and private bathroom. Lovely places to sit and read or watch the monkeys. And Aroshina and her family were incredibly welcoming! Her husband even gave us tuk tuk lifts when we wanted to go out. Also, the cooking class and Aroshina's breakfasts were amazing. Would definitely recommend if you're staying in Galle.

Amazing stay with great service. Very knowledgeable and would tell us about the local foods, things to do to avoid tourist trap & would organise trips if needed

Nil

Aroshina is a super business woman. She had created a wonderful homestay taking care of every detail of the decor of this ancient house, making her guests feel in good. She is a fantastic cook and she organizes amazing cooking classes.

We stayed two nights in Galle with Aroshina. We felt felt immediately welcome with the pot of tea upon arrival. Our room was very comfortable and well appointed. The highlight was the food cooked by Aroshina, who went out of her way to cook us a fabulous Christmas dinner. It was the best meal we had during our 21 day Sri Lankan holiday - which is saying something special.

Hostess Aroshina and her family are very friendly and warm. Her husband would take you from the home to the fort. Really feel like home here.

none

This was a last minute booking but one of the loveliest places we stayed. Our stay was only for one evening but that was enough to feel like part of the family. Aroshina is always smiling. Such a lovely person. We mainly went there for the cooking class which was great. We cooked, chatted and laughed for hours. Definately hope to return one day soon! The beds and pillows were really comfy and quiet A/C.

nothing

Aroshina and her family were excellent hosts and made us feel like we visiting family. Our little son had a good time and instantly bonded with them. The breakfast was tasty and filling. Aroshina also helped us retrieve a lost shoe we had left in a TukTuk!

It is slightly away from the fort area but a short auto ride

We loved everything about the property! Aroshina is such a wonderful host and an incredible person. Her family welcomed us in like their own - took us to the markets and even helped me buy a sari for a wedding next week! Would’ve been lost without her. She even noticed I had a cough and sore throat in the evenings so she bought me some wonderful medicinal tea! It saved me! Manju, her husband, took us on lots of tuk tuk trips and showed us around the area. We were so grateful. Breakfasts were lovely and the cooking class with Aroshina was excellent! We were lucky enough to spend New Year’s Eve with them and joined in their traditions.

We loved everything!

We immediately felt at home at Villa Aroshina as the owner family is very warm and helpful. The breakfast was a typical one from Sri Lanka and it was excellent. Unfortunately we stayed there just one night. The location is not too far from the fort, but the Tuk Tuk is needed to go there.

Nothing

Aroshina and her family were incredibly friendly and took us in like their own. We were offered tea or coffee at multiple occasions during the day. We cooked with Aroshina and learned all about the Sri Lankan cuisine which was very helpful for the rest of our travels and it was the best curry I‘ve had since. Aroshina is a super hard-working mom and host, she does everything to make you feel at home. 10/10 recommend!!

Aroshina and her family are very warm and welcoming. The room was clean and cosy. They also dropped me to the Galle Fort, or railway station or the local market, whenever needed. The food cooked by Aroshina was exquisite and gave insight into Sri Lankan cuisine. It is a great place for solo travelers.

Aroshina and her husband were excellent hosts and we had a great stay. Her husband kindly picked us up from the bus stop and they prepared us milk tea after our long journey. Room had AC which was very welcome after a hot day wandering the city.

Aroshina and her family were so welcoming and gave us a wonderful Sri Lankan family experience during our 2 nights here. We also did a cooking class with Aroshina - the food was amazing and all made from scratch with fresh ingredients! Location was good as only about 5min tuk-tuk from Galle Fort & Cricket Ground.

Nothing - would recommend to anyone wanted to stay in Galle

Aroshina and her family are very lovely people and went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. The cooking class was delicious and Aroshina puts a lot of care into making a wonderful home stay. Her husband is always happy to take you around in his tuktuk (I paid a small fee at the end for this but I think you don’t have to) and they are very knowledgeable about all the things you can do in the area.

There were some bugs in the room but this is to be expected in Sri Lankan homes.

This was my first home stay and it did not disappoint. Aroshina and her family were so kind and accommodating, making me feel so comfortable. The location is close to Galle. They have a tuk tuk and were happy to offer lifts as needed. The cooking course was also well worth doing. We cooked an array of local dishes, even making our own coconut milk.

A wonderful and tasteful accommodation with AC and breakfast. The family is incredibly warm and helpful. Aroshina is an amazing cook and offers a hands-on cooking experience for just $30, where she’ll teach you how to combine a variety of flavors beautifully. The session lasts around three hours, and by the end, you’re treated to a table full of clay pots brimming with delicious curries, leaving you happily in a food coma!

Lovely cosy home stay with a welcoming family. The most comfortable bed, best tea and yummiest pancakes we had during our month in Sri Lanka. Don’t miss out on this place!

Aroshina was so helpful with everything! Her family is so friendly and welcoming, much better than a hotel. Would Definitely reccomend and come back

The family was really frendly. The owner took the time to drive is to the town to bye some srilankan spises and gifts. She made us srilankan tea and really tasty meals. We also took cooking class which was very fun for the whole family. The place is really nice decorated and the best bed. The room was climated and we could use the kitchen. We would come again and they have our recommendation.

Nice host, newly renovated

There were some mice fighting above the roof during night,

The stay at Villa Arushina was exceptional. The lady took care of every request, the beautiful villa is impeccably decorated, a clean and air-conditioned room with toilet and shower. The internet was also excellent. Happily, I arrived at a great time - on New Year's Eve! I got to experience the holiday in a pure authentic way and learn about Buddhist customs and tradition. Eat local food through breakfast and holiday dinner. For me it was an amazing experience. I got to know a lovely family. I have no doubt that on my next visit to Sri Lanka I will return there. Thanks🙏🏼

I had a delightful stay at Villa Aroshina. The property is the family (2 adults, 2 kids) home in a quiet residential area. The family accommodation is on the ground floor and guest accommodation is up a short flight of stairs on the first floor. Despite having no formal training Aroshina appears to have "an eye" for the aesthetic, in the public areas every direction you turn presents a calming, beautiful, smile inducing expression of her talent. Aroshina and her husband, Manju, encourage you to treat their home as yours. Conversations are accompanied by the ever present Sri Lankan smiles and a warmth of expression. They are wholly and genuinely concerned with the satisfaction of their guests and go out of their way to help you with anything you need or desire; dietary needs, local food education, travel arrangements, tours, bicycles, mopeds, cultural experiences, medical supplies, ask and you will receive. A huge bonus is that Manju has his own Tuk Tuk, so short local journeys are quickly sorted out and longer journeys to visit attractions in nearby towns are easy to arrange. They will insist on not taking money for this service, I suggest you insist, as I did, that they at least take the equivalent cost of an Uber or PickMe (SL type Uber service) ride. It's a 10 minute ride or a 25 min walk to the Galle Fort heritage site. Aroshina is a fantastic cook, breakfasts are good; fresh fruit, savouries, sweets. If you get the chance do take advantage of the offer of an SL meal and/or her cookery class. Oustanding value for money. You will definitely get an authentic and comfortable SL experience at the property, the family are a joy to be with.

During my stay (March 2024) an outdoor dining area and off-street parking area were being constructed, due for completion end May 2024. Unfortunately, the builder had been unreliable with his attendance (not uncommon around the world) and Aroshina had suffered a family bereavement in the previous weeks, so this disruption was completely understandable.

Hosts were very kind and generous - free tuk tuk ride to and from bus station. Free lunch. Very well designed and pretty home. Nice areas to sit and relax rather than being stuck in your room. Hosts speak good english which means conversations was enjoyable and interesting.

Nothing!

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Aroshina. Aroshina and her family are really welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The Villa is beautiful and the rooms have good air conditioning and are spacious with hot water and very comfortable beds. Aroshina took us to buy vegetables and we helped prepare a meal which was great. We will tell our friends and family about this place and hope to return soon.

We felt very comfortable and welcomed at the villa. A nice family house with amazing and helpful hosts that gave us a lot of good advice and greeted us with a local breakfast every morning. An authentic homestay experience, we enjoyed it.

Best to bring ear-plugs.

We felt very welcomed by Arosha and her lovely family, we had a long journey and were made to feel at home straight away with some local tea. The house is lovely and comfortable and set in a peaceful setting, in a good neighbourhood where we walked around and always felt safe. The walk to Galle centre was just right for us and took about 25mins. The bedroom was really comfortable, as was the bed, the air con worked great and the en suite had everything you needed with good hot water. The villa is well decorated and nice touches of fresh flowers and immaculate. We had breakfast on both days which was delicious and made with care along with a hot flask of tea each morning when we woke up. On the last day we got help with our next journey and dropped off to the bus stop and helped onto a busy bus which was so nice. By the end of our stay we felt like family and we will always remember our time here with great memories, thank you Arosha and your family

Nothing

The house is very comfy, clean and tidy. This is not only a place to stay but also like a family. Aroshina offered us good authentic Sri Lankan breakfast and also some interesting cultural experience. She brought us to the local market, football night party and do the cooking class. This definitely makes my journey 100% interesting and worthwhile.

Nope

I have written this honest appraisal after reading other reviews and Aroshinas replies to the negative ones. Owners are lovely and very welcoming. They insisted on doing our washing, we did leave a tip to cover this in our final bill. They took us to see the turtles in there tuk tuk, which again we paid for. But the experience for us was poor due to the crowds around the turtles almost herding them on to the beach, this will distress any animal lover. We were collected by tuk took by owner husband but only after a couple of calls.

Our room had a ensuite attached bathroom but the double bed was pushed against the wall so the inner person had to climb over to get out of bed. The bedding and sheets are very worn. The shower room and toilet is fairly small and requires mopping out after a shower, mop is provided. There was no hot water, tepid at best, during our 5 day stay, owner said it was due to lack of sunshine. The owner is extremely pushy for you to review the property prior to you leaving and giving her a score of 10! You need to be firm in refusal. The breakfast spread for a homestay is good and varied but if you are not at the table on time the food is covered with newspapers and crawling with flys. Food is left on the table during the day at times and this is not good. The walls are paper thin and we were woken up on night 2 by the loud bedroom activities of the next room! Our last night there was a celebration downstairs for a couple leaving and very loud music and singing which started at 1030. We found a cockroach in the bathroom, not unusual for a homestay, but also on within the sheets! We were badly bitten at night on our lower bodies by bugs, had to tell if these were bed bugs or other insects. I expect Aroshina will deny all of the above but my review is truthful and is submitted to duly advise anyone who wishes to stay. We did not experience any of the above during any of our other stays in numerous places over 3 weeks touring Sri Lanka.

The best is Aroshina and her family! They help us with everything and felt us feel at home. The cooking class was really good and the food super tasty! Room and bathroom are very clean.

The staff were very friendly and welcomed us into their home. As mentioned on many reviews, they offer Tuk Tuks to the train station (on leaving the property) and collection from the station on arrival. They offer a good spread for breakfast :)

While we were aware the accommodation was further out from the city when booking, we decided to stay here due to the reviews. However upon arrival we realised it was quite far out for what we needed. Outside of getting Tuk Tuks from the family, we found that drivers struggled to find the property on google maps, which made journeys back quite difficult. We struggled with wifi during our stay, it cut out regularly (which could have just been isolated to our room).

Warm and friendly family that do everything to make your stay amazing. Very comfortable bed, good air conditioning and super fast wi fi. The villa is so close to all the tourist spots and very close to the fort. You’ll be entertained by the local monkey, (so much fun to watch). Great breakfast and coffee. You will have a comfortable stay and a very peaceful sleep at night. We booked two nights and stayed three.

Aroshina and her family were lovely and very helpful. The family do everything they can to make your home stay good. We did the cooking class that was very interesting and were shown how to prepare and cook Sri Lanka food after visiting the markets with her to choose our ingredients. We had lovely home cooked food with the family each evening. Room was clean with air con, a fan and mosquito net and always with hot water

room was small with the bed against the wall but this is a home stay and it was all ok.

We are a bunch of friends from Indian visiting Galle for Nye. We had a really good time at the place. She was a great host, helped us with travelling around and with amazing breakfast.

Nothing

Extremely friendly hosts, they make you feel part of the family! They can tuk tuk you around and cook lovely meals for you. Highly recommended!

We felt like home at Aroshina and her family’s beautiful home. The house is located in a nice and quiet area about 15 to 20 minutes walking distance to the fort. Aroshina colourfully decorated the house with lots of love and we really liked all the beautiful exotic flowers and plants. The rooms including separate bathrooms are very well equipped (cupboards, hangers for clothes, table, chairs, van) and super clean. Dinner (on demand) and breakfast was just extraordinary! We can only warmly recommend this accomodation and would come back at any time! Thank you dear Aroshina for making us feel that comfortable!

Great home stay with a wonderful family hosting. Lovely clean room and delicious home cooked food. Thank you for your kind hospitality. Would definitely recommend this home stay when visiting Galle.

Nothing to dislike.

Helpful owners, took me around where I needed to go

Everything was great. Lovely host and her family. They are ready to help with everything. Definitely recommend to stay here.

Local experience was unique and amazing. Would book again everytime.

We loved our stay with Aroshina and her family in their beautiful home. The room was so clean and comfortable and the breakfast was huge and delicious. They welcomed us like friends and drove us to Galle Fort for free. We only stayed for one night but wished we could stay longer. We'd really recommend this to anyone visiting Galle!

We liked everything.

Lady of the house Aroshina, her husband anf their 2 kids make you feel like home. The design makes you feel like in an exotic country (which Sri Lanka is:)) and the distance to the Fort and downtown of Galle is 15 min walk. The neighborhood is very calm and clean. The room itself is a heaven: original design, the bed is the biggest and the most comfortable we have had in 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. Especially, we appreciated the air-conditioning in the room, which allowed us to spend 2 awesome silent and cool nights. The hosts were there for us whenever needed, and what we especially appreciated were the tuktuk pick up and drop off as we were travelling by public transport in this part of Sri Lanka. Briefly: IF POSSIBLE, WE WOULD SCORE 11 and not “only” 10.

-

The family was really great. They inviter you to be a part of the family. Aroshina, a shining star of social intelligence and ambition in life. Nice house and a room with fan, ac och hot water shower. Nice breakfast. Galle is really a nice place.

Maybe a bit far from beach and fort. But the familjen brought you anywhere with the tuk tuk so it’s no Big isskrapa.
