The host was very friendly and was always ready to help. The room is very big and the beds are equipped with mosquito nets and ventilators. You hear the trains passing by, but not that often and for a very short period of time. They served me a small breakfast for free in the morning. I was very happy with the stay and would stay a second time.

The best house I've stayed in during my 12-day trip to Sri Lanka! Asintha and his wife made it a home for me and my friends. I wish I could have stayed there for at least a week. Thank you, Asintha! I'll choose to stay in Villa Emma again when I visit Galle next time.

Bihara and his family are super friendly hosts. They did everything that we felt comfortable. Bihara was always reachable via Whatsapp and answered quickly if we had questions. The room was great, big with a comfy bed, great working AC, even hot shower and a big table with chair. Perfect for people like us who had to work. It has a kettle and free coffee and tea in the room as well as in the kitchen. There is a separate kitchen just for the guests. The living room is huge and has very big tables where you eat breakfast. The breakfast was delicious and we got every morning something different. Another plus is the fast internet connection (fibre optic), which we appreciated because of working. There was also a dedicated parking space for our own TukTuk.

Big room with a fridge and comfortable beds! We absolutely loved this place and felt comfortable there. Also the home cooked food is amazing!!! Area is nice to walk around a very quiet. You need a tuktuk or go for a good walk to reach the center/fort, but we love walking so it wasn't an issue for us. Great hosts, recommended :-)

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.

Beautiful house in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood. Very high ceilings give the rooms a palatial feeling. Hosts are very supportive in giving advice and helping with taxi bookings. A highlight is definitely the delicious food, prepared by the host, who worked as a professional chef in Europe for many years.

Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.

Indiko and Shadow (the dog) are great hosts. Indiko takes good care of you and likes to tell you more about his live and living at the beach near Galle. Galle is 10 minutes by tuktuk. The food in the homestay is great.
