Our stay was great! Everything went smoothly, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The breakfasts were varied. The place is quiet, and we had no disturbances at night. The shower room with an open roof was a unique experience. We highly recommend this place for its comfort and peaceful atmosphere!

Great place for train watching, in a quiet area, yet very close to the city centre and Galle Fort. Extremely affordable, but very high quality. Big room, excellent service, very friendly staff. I couldn't have asked for more. I would love to visit again.

From

We had an amazing stay at Jayalath Homestay. Nilusha, the host, is incredibly kind and helpful. From the warm welcome with a refreshing drink to her constant willingness to assist, she made us feel completely at home. We booked just a room, but were pleasantly surprised to find it was a spacious, spotlessly clean apartment, complete with air conditioning, a small kitchen, and a refrigerator. It was perfect, especially for a longer stay, so we ended up extending our visit by two more nights. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and generous, with the hoppers being our favorite! Nilusha even took the time to teach us how to make them ourselves, a wonderful experience we’ll take home with us. The location is great too, just a 25–30 minute walk to Galle Fort, or a quick and affordable ride using PickMe. If we had more time in Sri Lanka, we would have stayed longer. Without a doubt, we will return to Jayalath Homestay on our next trip to Sri Lanka!

The Aroshina villa is a must if you are looking for home stay in Galle. Mandu and Aroshina are very friendly people and will treat you like family from the beginning. The house is beautiful and the room was clean, the hospitality was the highlight of the stay however. I will come back and visit every time I am in Sri Lanka no doubt. Mandu will drive you everywhere in Galle no problem. These are good people with a good home.

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.
