Finally a hotel who understands the meaning of ‘Home away from home’ Everything in this resort is focused on that. The interior, the cozy candle lights in your room, the restaurant and ofcourse the staff who will make you feel you are the only one at the resort. Special thanks to Amith the Cheff who prepared a special vegan dinner for me. Would have booked extra nights here if we didn’t need to go back home.

What a lovely little hotel! Everything is decorated with a lot of love and the room was very comfortable and clean. The staff and the owners of the hotel were very sweet and helpful, organising a taxi to the airport and communicating with us before our arrival. The food was also very tasty. At our arrival, when the owner realised we only booked a second night so that we could freshen up in the evening before driving to the airport, she offered us the breakfast after the first night, which we thought was a lovely and kind gesture. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Galle.

Lester

From

United Kingdom

What a gem of a place to stay. From the moment we arrived Kumudu and team couldn’t do enough for us. A taxi transfer from Colombo airport to Galle was easily pre arranged and meeting the driver was slick. We stayed in a superior deluxe room with jungle view for 4 nights. Facilities great and outdoor shower lovely. There was the added personal touch of having breakfast every morning served on your own terrace. Lush planting made for secluded spaces and good to have a pool too. Although the location is slightly out of the fort it’s easily accessible using a tuk-tuk and it’s only about 40-50 minutes walk if you’re feeling energetic. Special mention needs to go to Eran, the Olive’s on site tuk-tuk driver. It was so easy and reassuring to be able to message and he’d be there to pick up/drop off within minutes. It’s also possible for him to take you further afield. We did a round trip to Koggala lake, a turtle sanctuary, tea plantation and saw stilt fishermen. An absolutely wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan hospitality and we can’t wait to return.

Such a memorable 3 night stay in this beautiful 600 year old boutique hotel. The building and decor were stunning, rooms super comfortable, and staff amazing. The 5 course breakfasts, morning tea/coffee trays and the Prince’s Long Island Iced Teas were such a treat. Other highlights were the King’s Residence bedroom, piano man who takes song requests and the bugle player for the evening rooftop flag ceremony.

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country – the landscape and wildlife, the food and its people. All of this can be experienced much better at Ginganga Lodge – an exceptionally magnificent place to relax and visit Galle or just enjoy Sri Lanka. Great interior design! We loved the pool, the local dishes and the smell of cinnamon!!! The hotel is managed with the utmost care and guests are treated with the utmost respect and hospitality. Even the WiFi works, although you feel like you're living in the middle of the jungle. Highly recommended!

Nestled in nature, gorgeous swimming pool and stunning terrace with reading areas . It’s a true boutique style hotel with gorgeous Sri Lankan artifacts spread accross. If you want a solitude getaway, but still be connected to town I can’t recommend this more. Thank you to the incredible staff who went out of their way for everything.

A small nice hotel tucked into Galle centre, we had the room which backed onto the entrance lobby, not the end of the world, just meant no outside fresh air. The hotel itself is good in decor and had everything we needed. Great location for walking everywhere in Galle, plenty of good food nearby. The breakfast was good, with options for continental or Sri Lankan.
