    We stayed here for nearly a week. The room was comfy with a hot shower and good air con. It was great to have the space of the house eg with the kitchen and living areas to relax! Wifi was pretty reliable with speeds between 5 and 25mbsp depending on the time of day (and usage on the network!) Hosts were lovely and went that extra step, even lending us some traditional Sri Lankan clothes of there's to try for photos!

    The owners are lovely and make us feel like home in their beautiful house. The house is in a very quiet area, not far from the city center by bus. The bus stop is next to the house so it’s very easy, fast and cheap to go to the city. The breakfast is also very good! We will come back here without hesitation! 😊

    We had an amazing stay at Hiran and his wife’s guest house in Galle. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of their family. They gave us a very warm welcome and were always available to help with any questions or requests. They provided great advice on local transportation and recommended some must-see spots nearby. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast made with fresh produce from their garden—bananas, papaya, and a different Sri Lankan dish each day. We truly savored the food, and it was wonderful to chat with Hiran during breakfast about everything from travel tips to local life. We also had the pleasure of observing monkeys in the garden each day. As a lovely bonus, Hiran kindly drove us to the train station when we left. The guest house had excellent Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a spacious common area, and the option to use the kitchen—these little extras really made our stay special. The only thing to note is that the train passes quite close to the house, and it can be a bit loud at times. However, we were used to it, so it didn’t bother us at all. We highly recommend staying here if you’re in the area!

    I had the most wonderful stay with this family. Hiren and his wife looked after me and were so welcoming. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and comfortable this is definitely the right place. It was my first stop in Sri Lanka and I couldn't have found a more welcoming spot. 🌟 Ps. I ate here for dinner and breakfast- I would highly reccomend it!

    This was the best stay we had till our stay in Sri Lanka. The house is very cosy, clean, and has a calm location. 5 minutes from the hotel, you can find the main road, where you can get bus to Galle Fort. One thing that really stood outwas that he was concerned for his guests genuinely and treated us like a family. If you are visiting with a family, this is the best place.

    If I had to find a con: there is a temple 400 meters away and you can hear the chanting every morning at 5:00am - but I guess it’s part of the local experience :)

    I spent two nights at Hiran’s house and I wished I had stayed longer!! Hiran and his wife Malika are so lovely and always willing to help. I can only recommend their establishment if you want to stay near Galle.

    We spent two nights with Hiran and his wife and we didn't want to leave! They are the most friendly and caring hosts! Their house is spacious, very clean, comfortable and beautiful and the garden is magnificent. Hiran's wife is excellent cook and we had many interesting coversations with them. They are both very helpful and polite. We would 100% recommend their accomodation and when in Sri Lanka, we will definitely stay there again!

    There was nothing not to like.

    Everything about this stay was fabulous. They have a pretty garden.The family is very sweet and will do everything to make sure you have a comfortable stay. The place was crystal clean and it was very beautiful. The breakfast was also very yummy and plateful. I think I have to go there again to experience the same . Good lunch and coffee places are just a walk away too.

    You can sort of hear the train but it doesn’t run at night so it’s not a big deal

    Beautiful, serene space and amazing retired couple hosts who are the perfect balance of warm welcoming helpful and friendly with also giving you whatever space you want. Their home and garden is beautiful with the house split into their living quarters and an attached guesthouse with 3-4 rooms with a wide open living space, balcony, kitchen, and dining room. Comfy bed, nice sheets, hot water, and great breakfast. I even extended my stay.

    The room's description is misleading: the size was not as stated, while a balcony existed, it wasn't a room with a balcony; the double bed was rather small, there was no TV, and it was very noisy. This area is fairly noisy due to some neighbors and the proximity of the railways.

    The breakfast and the kindness of the host.
