"Amazing owners and staff, superb location, incredible breakfast. Highly recommend this place. Staff couldn’t be more helpful or friendly, location very close to the lighthouse and fort and many restaurants/shops. Room was beautiful, wonderful bed and shower. Very quiet and peaceful. Delicious breakfast with fresh coffee, fresh fruits and fresh croissants!"

"The best and warm-hearted host I've ever met in Sri Lanka. We chatted a lot since they knew I am an architect and recommended me some excellent places for visiting. The rooms are cozy and fantastic, each of which is decorated in different colors and corresponding artworks, really show the artistic flavor and taste of the owner~ especially the mosquito net~"

" Durch den herzlichen Empfang bei der Ankunft fühlte man sich von Beginn an wie zuhause. Während dem Willkommensdrink wurden uns die Do’s and Dont’s in Galle verraten. Die Zimmer waren sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtet und liessen keine Wünsche offen. Die Anlage ist im Allgemeinen schön und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet zudem ist sie sehr ruhig gelegen. Das Frühstück wurde jeden Morgen frisch zubereitet (Müesli, Croissants, etc.) und schmeckte hervorragend. Am meisten gefallen hat uns das liebe und hilfsbereite Personal, welches uns das Gefühl vermittelte Zuhause zu sein. Vielen Dank für den wunderschönen Aufenthalt, wir wären gerne noch etwas länger geblieben."

"Excellent accueil! Staff aux petits soins, conseils avisés et disponibilité de l'équipe exceptionnelle. Propreté impeccable, décoration soignée, petit déjeuner copieux. Galle est la ville que nous avons préféré durant notre séjour de 2 semaines mais c'est aussi en partie grâce à cet hôtel dans lequel on se sent comme dans un cocon. Même la pluie nous a paru agréable sous le patio, accompagnée du sourire et des attentions du Staff Bravo !"

"民宿内部小而美，空间设计合理，卫生间干净宽敞设计明快。早餐美味丰富。地理位置很好。老板热情周到。民宿有个小院子，虽窄小，但不凌乱，既浪漫又充满热带风情。"

"Heel prettig verblijf hier. Bij aankomst wordt er meteen een drankje en een vochtig doekje aangeboden om je te verfrissen. De kamer was heel mooi en proper, bevat een minibar en goed functionerende airco. De wifi werkte perfect en de (open!) badkamer was zalig! Heel centrale ligging, maar lekker rustig. Niet veel daglicht, maar dit betekent dat het 's nachts en 's ochtends gemakkelijker is om wat langer te slapen :) Het ontbijt was top: eindelijke echt brood, een croissant en lekker roereitje. Maar vooral Staff maakt dat dit mijn beste verblijf in Sri Lanka was . Thanks a million & keep it up!)"
