8.2/10 Very Good! (61 reviews)
Very friendly service from the staff. I would rate the staff as excellent. Room was so small to the level it is just usable. Breakfast was OK. Good value for money, if you are OK with limited space within the room.

10/10 Exceptional! (41 reviews)
This was like a piece of tranquil paradise in the middle of Galle Fort. It’s excellently located for exploring the fort and the building is beautifully preserved and offers excellent and spacious accommodation. We loved the room with a garden balcony, as we could watch and hear the world go by from the comfort of our room. The staff are so kind and offer many great tips for places to see inside the fort and were always in hand to make our stay extra special. Breakfast is very sizeable with many options. We will definitely be back!

Special place, just outside Yala
"A special place close to Yala that makes you feel like you’re in the park. Small staff was so friendly and lovely, and I felt well taken care of. Delicious meals—often candlelit and with an outdoor grill. Room was air conditioned and well appointed, despite the jungle setting. Only caution: there ..."
