Provider-sourced guest reviews.
I like the food and accommodation. Very peacefull environment.
Swimming pool maintainence needs to be upgraded..
Close to the main road and without any disturbances. Lot of space in the open inside area with sofas, dining table and kitchen with items. Checking is easy and nice place for a family to stay for few days.
Meals are not available. Small pool.
Big clean rooms with spacious bathrooms.
Actually good location, Unlimited pool access Clean rooms
It was better if had a dustbin in the room
The hotel was very clean, had great staff, offered excellent value for money, and we enjoyed our stay very much.
Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a great location! The breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. Everything exceeded my expectations for the price. Would 100% stay here again.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Villa 234. Rooms were spacious with good facilities and staff were considerate and friendly. Good value for money.
The pool seemed to have sand in it and not cleaned in a while. Also according to the advert on booking.com the beach was supposed to be only 50m away, but it was not the case- we had to walk a long way to access the beach.
Freundliches Personal. Tips zur Umgebung mit Hinweis für ein gutes Restaurant in der Nähe (Black &White gute Küche)
Wie überall in Sri Lanka. Hotel sauber und geregelt. Umgebung wie überall in Sri Lanka Plastikwaste Paradies. Lehrer sollten aufklären. Plastik ist gefährlich für Mensch und Tier. Die Bevölkerung wird von der Regierung im Stich gelassen. Die Müllkippe ist die Straße. Wasser zi stark chloriert. Nicht lange ohne gesundheitlichen Folgen genießbar. Viele Einwohner sind Nierenkrank : (
It's a good location and has a swimming pool to chill out. Rooms are spacious, the room contains a refrigerator and an electric kettle.
Bathroom doors are broken and they cannot be locked, Rooms are not sound proof, hence it will have huge sounds and vibrations when the train passes through.
AC was not cooling during our stay
Wir hatten uns wirklich auf die Unterkunft gefreut, wurden aber leider enttäuscht. Das Zimmer war dunkel, muffig und nach Schimmel riechend. Sauberkeit ließ auch zu wünschen übrig – Staub in den Ecken, ein unangenehmer Geruch. Der Außenbereich machte ebenfalls keinen guten Eindruck: ungepflegt, teilweise verfallen und keineswegs einladend. Der Pool war trüb und wir haben uns nicht getraut hineinzuspringen. Auch vom Personal kam kaum Unterstützung – man hatte das Gefühl, dass Beschwerden oder Wünsche eher als Last empfunden wurden. Insgesamt ein Aufenthalt, den wir lieber schnell vergessen möchten.
El desayuno está bastante bien, la piscina tiene buena pinta y tiene nevera.
La habitación y en el baño había muchas hormigas, además las sábanas estaban rotas. No está en Galle, está en el siguiente pueblo.
AC was working fine and the roof and windows were designed properly to keep the cool in.
Unclean - bathroom tub had dirty water filled in. 🪳 coockroaches comes out from drain if I keep it open. Pool water doesn't seem rightly treated. Pool towels were not there and bath towels were offered. Only one from our group decided to take a swim while others dared to do so. Though the AC is working its very hot since AC was not on by the time we arrived. It took 3 to 4 hours to get properly cool. The AC remote was not working, had to ask for assistance. There were no toilet paper. Asked again. Cups and spoons were set for half of the group. Asked again. Bathroom door cannot be closed. Lock is broken. Latch doesn't close (see images in ggl). Cloth rack has exposed nails, that rips your clothes. Provided towels were so used, but smelled cleanly washed. Bed is way old and sheets were staied. Pillow covers were washed.but not the pillows. Smelled sweat for a mile. Refrigerator was unplugged and was not cleaned. Decided water was filled in the catch tray. I cleaned thar myself. TV is there but it was not setup. Tried turning on, then gave up since I had to chase after the care taker for too many things already. Their bathroom only comes with tiny piece of soap. No shampoo or body wash. Water pressure was non existent. Wifi was working. They had two networks. It was choppy, but ok for Sri Lankan normal domestic conditions (not in par with commercial wifi setups like you find in a comparable place). Property is right next to the rail road and about 200 meters from the Galle road. Its noisy and you will be awake by loud trains,( starting around 4.30 am for me and ai kept up after that). Breakfast was ok for additional 3000 lkr for the nightly room price. There were no much selection. On arrival, I was asked to make the full payment and told what is there for tomorrow breakfast and was told the check out time. Hospitality wise its far down in the scale. Place is otherwise clean and maintained to keep basic standards, however not woth 9.
Zwembad was een leuke plus, maar ligbedden lagen niet ideaal. Ontbijt heb ik hier niet genomen. Airco en ventilator aanwezig in de kamer.
Er waren veel lichtknoppen die niet werkten… Personeel sprak zo goed als geen Engels.
La piscina
El alojamiento está muy sucio, con muchas cucarachas, ademas, los de la villa no entienden inglés y se hace muy dificil comunicarse con ellos. Las habitaciones estaban muy sucias (pero mucho) y les dijimos que si la podian limpiar un poco mas (ya que habian telarañas) y no les dio la gana. La cama es incomodisima y suena mucho, parece que te vayas a caer. Está mal ubicado y el tren pasa a 1 metro del hotel, lo cual, hace mucho ruido.

Tiene una piscina muy bien, las habitaciones son sencillas pero amplias y limpias. Y el desayuno muy bien, ponen un zumo hecho por ellos, y fruta tortilla y tostadas. Tienes baño privado y aire acondicionado
Llévate repelente! Hay muchos mosquitos!

Everything about this villa is great—except that it’s quite far from the town. There’s not much around the area. I booked it without fully understanding the location, so that’s my fault. However, the villa itself is really nice, and I truly enjoyed my stay there.

Facilities and exceptional. Friendly staff was there and Easily accecible location.
Great value for the price. Good place to enjoy your leisure time with family or friends, or even as a couple.

Lights not enogh for makeup
This place truly exceeded my expectations! The room itself was a standout feature – incredibly spacious and thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Beyond just the size, the impeccable cleanliness and meticulous arrangement of the room contributed to a feeling of luxury and ease. The swimming pool was another highlight. It was clearly well-maintained, sparkling clean, and provided a refreshing oasis. You could tell a lot of care went into keeping it in top condition, making it a genuinely enjoyable space to relax. However, what truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service provided by the staff. Every interaction was met with kindness and a genuine willingness to help, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. This level of attentiveness made a significant difference. Ultimately, the stay felt like excellent value for money. Considering the spacious and well-equipped room, the pristine pool, and the outstanding service, I can wholeheartedly recommend this place. It's a well-rounded experience that's definitely worth the investment.
The room was smelling and was very damp, with mould, we had to run the AirCon on dry all the time. We did not feel welcome in this hotel.
Good location, comfy beds, the only down side is that the staff is not bothered and customer service could be better.
The best part would be the person handling the villa. The contact, I think his name was Bandula. He answered every call I made and cleared up every question very attentively. Was very helpful and accommodating. We had to check out at 11 and he said he just needed us to handover the room to prep for the next person but we could stay in the common area. We waited over an hour and a half comfortably because we had to wait for the train. No one bothered us. Very homey Villa. Easy to find. The room was nice and comfortable. I loved the pool, it was kept clean. Overall clean place, no bugs or anything. A few meters away is a small food shop, if you need to get some good local food and can't be bothered to venture too far. PSA to any foreigner travelling around Galle, download the 'Pickme' app to order transport; the local tuks are very sus, and overcharge!
The windows/ bathroom mirror/ shower heads could have been cleaned. They weren't filthy but it would have been nice if they were a bit cleaner. Also, need to keep a spoon in the room to make the tea. Booking may say check out at 11.30am, that may be a mistake because checkout is at 11am. Would appreciate if you guys kept panadols on hand in case of emergency, but just a gentle suggestion.
Room was lovely
There is no private beach Access was denied via another hotel as the gate was locked Staff cannot speak English very well No hot drink with breakfast Pool was dirty Noisey train passes by Toilet seat needs changing
Pool - excellent Breakfast - tasty and big Parking - safe space for our tuk tuk Basic shop nearby Apart from the train occasionally - quiet area, hidden area Comfy bed Big room, big bathroom Extra care when we asked for early 6am breakfast Beach nearby
A bit far from the main city but no problem for us with rented tuk tuk Poor wifi
Really great place to stay! Great facilities and room, a bonus that it had a swimming pool! Great value for money.
The swimming pool was well maintained. The breakfast was filling and on time. The lighting in the premises waa great. There is room to park 3 cars.
Can't think of anything.
More space and clean. Beds were good.
Poor WiFi, mosquitoes and unhelping staff, no good tv channels, no soap, dirty fan, poor lighting, noisy location, no milk powder.
Breakfast and the room was great and bathroom was very clean
