The breakfast was excellent! The servings were generous and delicious. A great start to the day :). We liked that the hotel was a short distance to town. Away from the noise and bustle but close enough to walk. The owner was helpful and very friendly. The room had everything we needed. Thank you.

Lovely place run by a wonderful family, all very helpful. Room basic but clean with comfy beds and great air conditioning. Lovely pool which was a bonus and much appreciated in the intense heat of Sri Lanka. Good breakfast with fresh fruits and local breakfast foods.

Wow! 10 out of 10! Book this now before it's too late because it really is a gem of a place and a true find. Set a short tuk tuk ride (250Rps) from the fort this delightful homestay has everything, and I mean everything, you could wish for. Set in a lovely secluded area close to the lake and amidst your own mini jungle you can guarantee a peaceful nights sleep. The rooms were amazing! Huge and spotlessly clean with fabulous bathroom, comfortable beds, aircon and views over the delightful garden. There's a lovely swimming pool and tables and chairs in yet another garden area to the side of the property too. However, the truly wonderful thing about Ging View Villa is the family who run it, so lovely and so helpful. Book now to avoid disappointment

After two washes, our things faded and became stained (almost everything we took with us was ruined, minus one star for that), but they didn't take it for that money, thanks

The owner was very friendly, everything was top notch. The rooms are large and comfortable, there is a private terrace, you can take a dip in the pool, large and delicious breakfasts. There is everything for a quiet life here. Photos of garden and rooms are completely true

basically we were satisfied with everything

Very pleasant location with walking access to the beach or lake. Decent size pool gave a great benefit after a busy day. The high ceilings made the rooms look airy. Air conditioning available in the room and the room looked pleasantly clean including the bathroom, which same very much appreciated.

With a really warm welcome we were shown our room which was large and clean. The bed was very comfortable, aircon worked well with the added bonus of a ceiling fan. The bathroom was large and clean. We only had breakfast but it was very tasty. The swimming pool was a great bonus to help cool down during the very hot day! Ging View is a 20mins plus walk away from the Fort or an easy 5 min tuk tuk ride.

There is quite a bit of construction going on in the street and adjacent neighbourhood. Obviously no fault of the property but if you’re travelling there soon (I was there Feb 2025) keep that in mind Wifi pretty terrible, would barely stay connected and next to no speed when it did. Fortunately I had data but again something to keep in mind if you are wifi only during your trip.

Short walk into town, but quiet enough neighbourhood Nice leafy area so not much direct sunshine meant it stayed very comfortable most of the time, even without air conditioning. Large comfortable bed Breakfast was terrific, I didn’t have dinner but came back to see other guests appearing to enjoy it immensely. Plenty of seating both inside and outside the room Lots of drying space for wet clothes

It was perfect!

Super cute homestay with a lovely family! I felt very welcomed and they even offered to help with a boat safari. I didn’t do it in the end but it sounded great to do! The room is huge and clean. Breakfast is also really yummy! It’s just a two minute walk to the Main Street which means is very quite and no street noises. Bus stops are right at the Main Street and also some small shops.

Wi-Fi wasn’t the best but didn’t matter for us as we had 4G. Just not good for someone needing strong Wi-Fi.

Very clean rooms and bathrooms and AC room. Lovely home and host, brought us a drink upon a arrival. was around a 5 minute tuk tuk to galle fort! Very good value for money and would recommend to anyone on a budget:)

Just some noise in the morning because of the roaster. Nothing else!

Beautiful place inside the nature but close to main attractions Staff is super friendly and the breakfast was abundant!

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at this accommodation. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel incredibly welcome. As soon as our tuk-tuk pulled up, he greeted us with a warm smile and offered us a Welcome Drink. He showed us to our room, which was exactly as pictured—clean, cozy, and equipped with fresh towels and essential toiletries. The host’s hospitality didn’t stop there. We requested lunch, and within 15 minutes, we were enjoying delicious, home-cooked meals with a variety of options. He went above and beyond by providing invaluable advice about local markets, must-see attractions, and even helped us plan a boat safari. The trip was an absolute highlight! We saw numerous birds, monitor lizards, monkeys, and even bats. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about the local flora and fauna, including cinnamon trees. The private boat tour, tailored just for us, was a serene and unforgettable experience at a very reasonable price. We truly appreciate the host’s efforts in making our stay so enjoyable!

We stayed here for two nights, the hosts were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and spacious, the bathroom was also very clean. There was space to park our tuk tuk out the front. The area was easy to get around.
