Situated in Galle, 4.8 km from Galle Fort and 4.9 km from Dutch Church Galle, THE LODGE by Eco Love offers air conditioning.

This was a gem of a find for me. First time to Sri Lanka and there was trepidation on my part about the trip. However Malik the owner and his family made it so easy for me. The accommodation is a clean, modern and comfortable bungalow set in the garden of the family home. The accommodation is 10 minutes from the centre of Galle but in a quiet location. An ideal location for trips to the beaches, Galle fort and other local attractions. Malik and his family are so helpful, nothing too much trouble. The home cooking, breakfast and dinner is delicious and they offer traditional cookery lessons in their home kitchen. Malik even sorted my transport from the airport to the accommodation and also had a SIM card sorted for me. Local transport to and from the bungalow is so easy to arrange, I used the pick me up app. I fully recommend this accommodation. Enjoy.

Boasting an outdoor pool, Samalanka Boutique Hotel in Habaraduwa features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking for guests who drive.

The quiet location, size of the room, size of the breakfast 😀, cleanliness, quality of the bed, warm water powerful shower. It is perfect value for money, an excellent option if you don't want to be stacked somewhere between the masses in Unawatuna itself but 8 km away.

Manthally Cabanas offers unique, handcrafted cabanas in a Jungle setting just 1.5 mile inland from the beautiful Narigama Beach and 2 miles from Hikkaduwa Beach.

A wonderful oasis that feels private. A short 20 minute walk to th beach Manthally has everything you need, a private bathroom and room that are both large. Air conditioning, mosquito trap and the most wonderful breakfast with a traditional Sri Lanka breakfast that was different then anything else we tried after spending 11 days in Sri Lanka. The owner speaks great English, assisted with an issue we had with our driver and had the most wonderful staff. Highly recommend!

Located in Unawatuna, 100 metres from Mihiripenna Beach and 200 metres from Dalawella Beach, Greenery Lanka Villa provides accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with a...

The unit at Greenery Lanka Villa was very spacious. I loved the small kitchen area with kettle and fridge for making my own tea & coffee and storing water and drinks. The owner Praneeth was very friendly and attentive to all my queries and also provides transportation at an additional cost. The location was very good. A few minutes walk from the main road and beach

Set a few steps from Hikkaduwa Beach, The CatiPe Lodge offers a garden, a terrace and air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The hosts are absolutely wonderful - so warm, welcoming, and accommodating, which really made the experience special. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The only minor downside is the noise from nearby trains, but if you’re not too sensitive to sound, it shouldn’t be a problem. Overall, a great place with great people!

Offering garden views, Subodinee Bungalow in Weligama offers accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant.

Though the place was below our expectations after other Srilankan experiences it has a nice atmosphere altogether. Spacious garden, privacy for the bungalows, and a nice community vibe. It looks like it has a kind of fan audience who visit regurarly.

    Best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka. Warm hospitality by the hosts. Lovely decoration of the house and the room with antics. Exceptional breakfast at the Lodge. Access to the swimming pool. We had also dinners at the Lodge, it was excellent. Many thanks to have made our stay memorable!

    Amazing stay. The terrace at the river is a great place to sit and watch all kinds of animals, and the bird safari is highly recommended, too! The breakfast was rich and tasty, and the owners' hospitality was overwhelming. Thank you!

    It was the best stay I had in Sri Lanka. The host drove me everywhere and gave me a lot of tips. The breakfast was very good. I also recommend the river safari that is very nice. Thank you for everything it was a great time.

    Mr Ruka, his wife & daughter were friendly & helpful. The home-cooked food was plentiful & good. Mr Ruka organised an excellent river safari, where we saw lots of birds & other wildlife, & insisted we took his china teapot & cups on the boat with us, so we could enjoy our morning tea! The hotel's riverside location is lovely - great to watch the birds while eating breakfast under the canopy in the garden. Mr Ruka also offers a tuktuk service.

    Everything about our four nights at Ginganga Lodge was exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The setting is beautiful and the attention to detail impressive. The staff are attentive without being in any way intrusive and the food, and the cocktails, were all delicious. We stayed in the Deluxe Suite which was just amazing. We took advantage of the tuktuk service into Galle and were always picked up promptly when we requested a return. We stayed in some superb places on our three week trip but this was the best.

    Our extended stay at Indika's Residence was beyond memorable. The warmth of the family made it feel like home. I highly recommend both Indika's Residence and Ginganga Lodge for an extraordinary experience. Can't wait to return!

    Indika's Residence surpassed my expectations. Impeccable cleanliness, tasteful decor, and thoughtful amenities create a welcoming atmosphere. Daily housekeeping and access to Ginganaga Lodge's delightful breakfast added to the charm. The resort's amenities, including the pool, enhanced relaxation. Indika's personal touch, with transportation assistance and local recommendations, made our stay truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for a memorable vacation experience

    Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.

    This was my second visit and it was even better than last year. Ginganga Lodge is quite exceptional with 6 beautifully designed suites in the midst of idyllic tropical gardens and surrounded by nature. It is the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of Galle city yet it is just a short tuk tuk ride away. The restaurant offers well presented delicious meals and the staff are always friendly and attentive. A thoroughly enjoyable finale to our visit to Sri Lanka
