Oceanfront Galle by ICC

8/10 Good

"The property was clean and convenient. The staff were helpful when requested. However, maintenance work has to be carried out in the apartment. The shower and the sink in the bathroom got flooded when used. The stove and the washing machine were malfunctioning. And the room was not cleaned during the period, though the terms and conditions state that it would be cleaned after the 5th day."

Cape Weligama - Relais and Chateaux

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the staff honestly they were super friendly with my daughter and me… My daughter was very comfortable with davinda. She became good friends with the surf instructor Kyle and loved the surfing experience she had with him making it one of the most wonderful experiences she had … The chef was extraordinary there making sure I tried authentic Sri Lankan food … Over all I’m definitely visiting them again when coming to Sri Lanka … The resort was out of this world honestly…"

The Dutch Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"While the amenities are limited, it's also not the type of place where you go to steal all of the mini shampoos. The Dutch Bungalow was the one place we stayed at the longest in Sri Lanka - 4 nights on a 3 week trip. It was also our favorite place to stay. Even thought we stayed at many places with a breakfast buffet, this was my favorite breakfast of all. Such an intimate and friendly setting and a superb location. We were able to explore the Fort area over the 4 days to the point that we knew where most things were and felt to comfortable looking everywhere. In the morning, I went out at sunrise and walked the walls of Galle Fort and saw everything waking up and starting. Each day was special and revealed something special about SL. The staff were outstanding and very friendly and helpful with anything and everything. We were sad to leave to move on to a large hotel where we were attending a large event. This was our happy place in Sri Lanka!"

The Fort House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location inside the fort walls, so close to shopping, dining and historic sites. Staff very so nice and helpful, and the breakfasts, which were different every day and were freshly made local food, are probably the best breakfasts we've had in any country when travelling overseas. Beautifully restored building with tasteful period style decor. Good a/c plus a ceiling fan"

Taru Villas Rampart Street - Galle Fort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a Beautiful old Villa right in the heart of Galle Fort. Room was amazing very generous in size and beautifully styled in colonial manner, huge balcony and excellent bathroom leading off the balcony all 100% private we loved it ! A beautiful small pool which I enjoyed a lot. Full service for fools and beverage should it be required. Breakfast was a real treat served in the dining area overlooking the garden and pool. Staff were 1st rate and helped make the stay special. I will be back !"

Coastline Mirissa Boutique hotel and spa

10/10 Excellent

"As a Sri Lankan living abroad who has travelled to many countries, this was a rare and memorable find in Sri Lanka. We had an excellent stay at this beautiful, eco-friendly hotel. It is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of Mirissa Beach, and the property is exceptionally well maintained. The staff were warm, friendly, and always happy to accommodate our requests. A particularly nice touch was being personally greeted by the owners during breakfast, which made us feel genuinely welcome. If you’re looking for a peaceful, sustainable place to stay in Mirissa, I highly recommend this hotel."
