Must try
Nill, everything was great and perfect for couple
Casa arredata in modo moderno e piacevole. La vista dell’oceano dalla terrazza risulta molto suggestiva. La casa è dotata di vari accessori per la cucina. Kasun è stato molto disponibile e gentile nell’accoglierci e nel fornirci indicazioni utili anche su dove mangiare.
Pro e contro della struttura è la poca insonorizzazione dell’appartamento; piacevole per quanto riguarda il rumore delle onde dell’oceano e meno piacevole per il rumore della strada circostante.
Beautiful beach front accommodation and felt so private
Es war alles top vom Service bis zur Unterkunft. Die Lage direkt am Meer und die nette Reggae-Bar nebenan haben das noch abgerundet.
Nichts
The seclusion felt amazing. As a solo Traveller the check in process was very easy. Kasun is an amazing host.
Sometimes I had a couple of wanderers infront of the villa which made me slightly uncomfortable.
Très joli appartement, bien équipé avec vue sur jardin qui donne lui même sur la plage.
L'océan est assez bruyant ainsi que la route derrière.
Everything.
First of all, this is a very special place. Just beautiful, right at the beach, nice bar next door. Very open space and perfect views. I would most definitely come back here alone for this. Then on top you get the nicest hosts/staff. Raja is just the sweetest person, always there if you need a hand, saw him cleaning the beach in front of the property one day. Very attentive and simply friendliness in person! I didn't get to meet Kasun but communication through WhatsApp was equally friendly and uncomplicated. Thank you so much!
Be aware that it can get a little noisy. We didn't mind the ocean sound at all (yes, it gets loud but hey you're right on the beach!). For the street sound, they're already working on a solution. Bring some Ohropax and enjoy your stay!
Absolutely loved everything about this property. It was a very pleasant surprise. The host was very friendly and helpful. The villa is about 10 minutes from Galle, so it was lovely and quiet. There were a great selection of restaurants on the beach. I would definitely recommend staying here.
There isn’t anything to not like
The host was very friendly and helpfull. The building consist of two levels. We were in the upper level, which had the best view and more privacy I think. The room was clean and comfortable. Showering between the plants feels nice. But the beach is was makes this place great. There are lots of bars/restaurants very nearby which means you can stay here for a week and eat somewhere else every day. We liked Bara Beach the most which is also recommended by the host. Having lots of places the sit, eat, drink and relax nearby is really great, but you can also choose to just sit on you balcony and read a book and enjoy a great view. If you want to see the sunset, you have to go to the beach or restaurant. You can't perfectly see it from the balcony. But that is not a problem as the beach is a 10 meter walk.
It can be noisy during the night. The sound of the waves is okay, but you also hear the road behind it a lot. We were pretty tired most nights so not a real problem for us,, but if you have trouble sleeping, then the noise can make it harder. There was also some sunlight that came through the roof in the bathroom which shines into the bed in the morning.
Stepped in and skipped all the other day plan just to enjoy the lovely place .
Logement : Nous avons loué celui à l'étage. Très moderne, spacieux et premium dans un style très apaisant. Disposant d'une climatisation opérationnelle et d'une fantastique terrasse avec des assisses très confortables permettant de profiter du cadre vue sur mer et les cocotiers pendant de longues heures (notamment au sunset). Salle de bain : privative, très belle et fonctionnelle avec du débit et de l'eau chaude. Localisation : à Boossa, permettant d'éviter la densité de la ville de Galle. L'emplacement au pied de la plage est vraiment unique et ne donne plus envie de partir. Plage peu fréquenté, possible de s'y baigner. Le Reggae Bar juste à côté est un incontournable, aussi bien pour le petit déjeuner que les repas de qualité, dans une ambiance détente avec un personnel très sympa. Interlocuteurs : Nous avons pu rencontrer le propriétaire Laurent qui est de très bons conseils. Puis principalement Raja (ainsi que Kasun) ont été très agréable, accueillant et à dispo pour nous faire passer un super moment. Encore merci à vous.
Sur le logement en lui-même, je ne vois quasiment aucun point faible. Toutefois, la route principale qui passe de l'autre côté génère d'importantes nuisances sonores, très tôt le matin donc nous recommandons des bouchons d'oreilles pour les plus sensibles.
Everything, the staff , the view, the rooms. Everything was very comfortable and the staff made it convenient.

The interiors are good and location is just on the beach.
The staff mostly , the maintenance guy was quite rude
Super mooie locatie met uitzicht op de zee.
In de douche stond een plant wat niet heel relaxt was om te douchen. En daarnaast hoor je de auto’s heel erg waardoor je vroeg wakker bent.
The room was very comfortable and clean; the reggae bar next door was a great bonus; the food is excellent here...and there's a beautiful beach on your doorstep!
Check- in was a little confusing..
The place is beautiful. Peaceful location. Food places around and easy to get transport into Galle. Sunset view is amazing. Location and decor. Staff are lovely.
The bed was very firm. Next door had a music night with Karaoke and we really needed to sleep but couldn't due to noise. The night before it is was no problem as it was quiet but Friday id avoid or look up when th reggae bar has an event unless you want a night out it's a nice bar but not when you need sleep.
Nær sjøen og man hører bølgene. Kjempe fint inne- og uteområde. Hadde kjøkken med alt man trenger. Fikk nok kaffe til å ha en kopp hver morgen. Ekstremt hyggelige «ansatte». Hadde en som het Raja som tok seg av alt man måtte behøve var helt fantastisk. Alle var veldig hjelpsomme. Nær restauranter som var veldig bra.
Hull i myggnettingen med sengen. Vanskelig å lukke og låse dør. Noe vanskelig å lukke gardinene. Kunne gjerne ha vært flere speil i leiligheten! Kunne gjerne ha vært ekstra håndklær i leiligheten.
So beautiful! The pictures are beautiful, but the reality is even better. It is stylish and comfy with kitchen for basic cooking, beautiful bathroom, a lot of storage space and drying rack. The bed is so comfy. The view out of the window is just breathtaking, with comfy seating and then the ocean. The ocean was quite wild and loud, which was expected and of course ok - plus the window was quite sound-proof and the room calm. The beach was not suitable for swimming, but the host recommended beach just few minutes away by car where we enjoyed the ocean. The host was very attentive and kind, but also we had privacy. He recommended great bar just down the beach where we had some food and drinks and loved it. We only stayed for 2 night and I would have loved to stay longer, we were said to go.
Everything
Nope
Die Unterkunft hebt sich wirklich von anderen ab, eine geschmackvolle, hochwertige Innenausstattung und dazu die wunderschöne Sicht zum Strand.
Nachts ist es leider sehr laut, da man die vorbeifahrenden Autos bis etwa 23 Uhr deutlich hört. Außerdem lassen sich die Vorhänge sehr schwer schließen, sodass das Zimmer recht hell bleibt. Schade fand ich auch, dass es einige offene Stellen im Haus gibt. Eine Klimaanlage zu nutzen ist ohnehin schon nicht besonders umweltfreundlich aber ohne richtige Isolierung geht noch mehr Energie verloren, was es zusätzlich problematisch macht.
Wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt im Malilo Dream! Der Gastgeber war super freundlich, jederzeit sofort vor Ort, als wir seine Hilfe benötigten und auch das restliche Personal ganz toll! Die Aussicht und die Einrichtung waren traumhaft, wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen! Trotz der eingebauten Fenster im Bad ist die Lautstärke nicht zu unterschätzen und vor allem morgen im Berufsverkehr hört man so einige Hupen. Allerdings sind wir früh aufgestanden und da wir den restlichen Tag auf dem Balkon oder am Beach verbracht haben, haben wir statt Straßengeräuschen Meeresrauschen genossen. Wir würden diese Unterkunft auch trotz der Lautstärke buchen, weil die Lage einmalig ist! Unser Highlight war die frische Kokosnuss aus dem Garten!
Beautiful property righty on the beach! Walkable to beach bars/restaurants on the road or a Tuk Tuk to Unawatuna. Place is kept very cool with an aircon that works well and sleep like a baby listening to the beach waves. Thank you so much for my relaxing week, it was exactly what I needed.
Les appartements ont une décoration très soignée et une magnifique vue sur la mer . Les lits sont très confortables et la cuisine très fonctionnelle Des bars de plage sont très proches pour prendre les repas et Galle est à 15 min en tuk tuk
Un peu bruyant à cause du restaurant juste à côté qui a mis la musique en soirée et aux bruits de la route le matin
It's a simple design (all concrete floors, shelves, etc), yet lovely! Large room, great beach view (right on the beach), and our host was very kind and helpful! It has a kitchen as well.
WiFi network didn't show up at all. This was probably a temporary issue and we didn't really need it so I didn't bother asking about the issue. There was no comforter - just two undersized folded sheets to sleep under. New place - I think they may still be working out some kinks.
Beautiful decor, amazing location. Quality modern fittings. Great aircon and beach access
The internet is really poor, works maybe 5% of the time but not sure they can do much about it in the location as mobile coverage also really poor. Just need to consider if you are working or active online
A stylish, tastefully designed hotel located just outside Galle. You can feel it was created with love. Calm atmosphere, cozy vibe, and great attention to detail. The balcony offers a beautiful view of the ocean. Highly recommended for your stay!
The place, next to the beach
What a beautiful apartment. Very clean with amazing views. This place is so relaxing with a great raggae bar next door.
Little noise from the main road but not a problem
Stylish but unpretentious. Really good space, lovely four poster bed. Basic kitchen amenities but all the essentials ( fridge, kettle, mugs, glasses and so on). Wonderful balcony view of palm trees and the sea immediately to the front. The Reggae bar next door is a small but lively little venue with excellent food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and lovely staff.
It would be nice to have more upright (but still comfortable!) chairs on the balcony.
Amazing. The attention to detail in the design was impeccable. Understated elegance. Excellent value for money. Couple of cool little beach bars and restaurants around but nothing too hectic. Great place to wind down. You won’t be disappointed.
Nothing
we didn't have the chance to have breakfast, but the location was magical
at night you wouldn't need more than a fan, but in the day if you decide to stay at the location, it's very hot
Beautiful beach house that looked better than the pictures and was quite comfortable to stay in.
Nothing
Loved everything about my stay. Super friendly welcome and amazing room with everything you need. Perfect location super quiet with a few amazing restaurants and bars close by. I didn’t want my stay to end.
Only thing which is out of the control of the property is the loud traffic from the road. Maybe if the bathroom was enclosed a little this would prevent some noise? And wi Fi also didn’t work during my stay.
Wow, the view and room felt amazing. The sounds of the sea and the beauty of the room were great for couples. The manager was very good. 👍
I didn't like the security guardold person; he does not respect Sri Lankans. It's not good for the business.
Totally stunning architecture. Absolutely lovely! Good attention to detail, nice sheets, towels etc. A great place to relax and watch the beach.
It would be good if the stairs to the balcony had a gate that locked so I would be able to leave the doors to the balcony open at night. There is some traffic noise.
Malilo house could be out of an interior design magazine. It s one of the 3 best places I have seen in more than 20 years of travelling the world. The pictures are true to what you find, if not showing all the beauty of decorations, little touches, natural materials. I LOVED IT. Just to set expectations: if you stay upstairs you ll have an amazing balcony but also an open bathroom, which means noise from the street. They are working on fixing this already!
It was a dream. Very clean what is not automatic in this location. Nearby is bar but is not loud. For us just perfect. 👍
The property is lovely, as described, full of details and lovely personal touch. Perfect for couples and direct access to the beach.
N/A
Perfect location, clean, good vibes
Very cozy and stylish place in the beach. Going to bed hearing the waves. Pure tranquility. The beach is extremely nice. There are a few restaurants close and all very good for breakfast and other meals. Staff very warm and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Everything about Malilo Dream was fantastic. 5 star beach loft experience for really good value. The staff were so helpful and flexible! The sea is at your front gate and there are plenty of local places to eat, drink and meet fun, friendly people. Indika's 2 doors down is particularly good. Will definitely stay here again. Boossa as a base for an extremely relaxing beach chillout stay is ideal and Malilo Dream is a perfect spot.
