Guest Houses in Sri Lanka

"This is a very nice place close to Sigiriya rock. The owner, Dinesh, went out of his way to make sure everything was great. We had dinner there which was a delicious assortment of home made curry. The breakfast was also fresh and delicious. We stayed in the room with A/C which was nice after coming back hot from a long climb. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable. "

"Great property - truly a beachhouse on its own which gives a great mix of privacy but support for meals etc. with the hotel down the beach"

"Very friendly hosts!!! Very comfortable stay… we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here!"

"At end of a 4x4 dirt trail, the brothers have worked hard during difficult times to create a small high-end eco-friendly resort in the woods where monkeys play and peacocks crow. Recently built modern brick and plaster cottages with a/c face a lagoon lake with a property adjacent to Yala National Park. Service is excellent."

"We loved our stay here. The views are to die for! The owners were lovely and the breakfast was so big I couldn’t finish it. Loved our little bungalow up on the hill!"

"Lovely small hotel. Can walk into town. Pool lovely. Beach can walk to nearby otherwise tuk tuk. Excellant staff. "

"King of Kandy was comfortable, walkable to the major sites, good value and spotless. The manager used to work as a cook and makes great breakfasts. Persist when looking for it; it's on a private road but there is a sign."

"Absolutely awesome guesthouse, staff are wonderful, location is excellent, food is fantastic… highly recommend this guesthouse "

"We loved staying here. The owner was incredibly kind and let us return after our check out time to shower. The wifi unfortunately was not working during our stay but the rooms were clean and ready for us when we stayed. The beds were comfy, and having the option of a ceiling fan or an aircon was helpful to keep cool. The location was a little confusing since it was behind in the alley, however, tucked away made it less busy to access. "

"Great property, super nice stuff and great food. The best Sambol I had in our 2 week trip"

"You couldn’t ask for a better place to stay in Galle than this. One of the best places I’ve stayed in for a long time. I loved all the thoughtful touches of a cold juice when you arrive, flowers on the best and them putting on the ac before we arrived so we could arrive to a cool room. Free tea and coffee all day and the use of a fridge and freezer was amazing. Staff were also wonderful and very helpful. Couldn’t ask for more. "

"The staff was extremely helpful. Treated us like family "

"clean, except for grubby shower curtain, good manager, although would probably look for a higher rated property next time"

"Awesome staff, really helpful, quiet. Little bit basic, but overall good hotel. Probably the best one I have stayed in for it’s location and staff"

"A little hidden gem. Clean, simple, great staff, very reasonably priced. I would definitely come back!"

"Great and responsive staff. Enjoyed the stay"

"The hotel is perfectly placed to walk to the temple, lake and market. A 20 min walk of brief tuk tuk ride from the station. Reasonably comfortable bed with a private en-suite. The only issue was that one wall of the room is a floor to ceiling window that looks onto the hallway and lets in light from the hall until it is switched off around 11pm. So maybe ask which rooms might be best if you prefer the dark! Air con very good and warm shower. The food is delicious, both breakfast and dinner....

"Great stay. Rooms and the view from the room was beautiful. Def recommended. The staff were freindly too."

"The hotel is lovely but dated. It’s in the middle of a residential area, and although google maps says it’s a 20 mins walk to the town centre, it doesn’t account for the monster hills! There was no cleaning in the room whilst we were there, water was charged at an exceptional rate, which we weren’t told about. The staff were very friendly though, and couldn’t help us enough, as we were one of two couples in the hotel during this our of season period. "
