Boasting a garden, Small House Boutique Guest House is a guest house set in a historic building in the centre of Galle, close to Lighthouse Beach. The property has garden and city views, and is 400 metres from Dutch Church Galle. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The staff is awesome, very kind and always there to make your stay more comfortable ;) Rooms are super clean, beds super comfy and bathroom big. We went 2 families with 2 toddlers and we had a big common area with table, chairs and sofa, were we could chill and the kids could play! Breakfast is amazing Location is the best, in the heart of Galle Fort, just fee meters of the "main street"

Located in Hikkaduwa, Camellia Dwelling offers tranquil and comfortable accommodation with free WiFi access throughout the property. Featuring lush green gardens, it operates a 24-hour front desk and provides complimentary parking on site. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Stay That Feels Like Home – Camelia Dwelling If there is one place that truly redefines what hospitality means, it is Camelia Dwelling. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a peaceful little world surrounded by greenery, warmth, and genuine love. Hosted by a 78-year-old uncle, this stay has a soul of its own — something you simply cannot put a price on. The Host – Pure Warmth & Kindness Uncle is the heart of this home. At his age, the way he moves around with energy, checks on you, talks to you warmly, and treats you like you’re a part of his own family is beyond touching. There is nothing he won’t help you with. He takes you into his home and makes you feel like you should never leave. That’s how deep and comforting his hospitality is. Food That Feels Like It Was Cooked With Love One of the BIGGEST highlights of our stay was the food. They offer breakfast and dinner at a very nominal amount, but honestly, the quality, quantity, cleanliness, and love put into the meals makes you feel like you should be paying much more. Every dish is homemade by Uncle’s wife, and it truly tastes like a warm hug. • Fresh • Clean • Absolutely delicious • Full of variety • Prepared exactly how you want it — they actually ask your preferences and ensure everything is tailored for you. It didn’t feel like a meal we paid for… it felt like being fed by family who genuinely care for you. The value for money is unbelievable, but more than that, it’s the love that stands out. The Property – Green, Peaceful & Immaculate Camelia Dwelling is surrounded by greenery — a beautiful backyard, front yard, and nature all around. It is soothing, calming, and perfect for anyone who wants to relax. The house is spotless, extremely well maintained, and has a very homely charm. You can see the care and pride they put into keeping the place clean and comfortable.

Villa Amma Erna welcomes its guests with an outdoor pool and free internet access. It features contemporary interiors and stylish fan-cooled guestrooms.

This elegant property is 2.8 km from Galle Light house, 2.9 km from the historical Galle Fort and 3.1 km from Dutch Church Galle. The villa is an architectural pearl. The owner and her team do everything to make you feel comfortable. If you expect sound-proof rooms, thick sink-in carpets or whiskey-tasting: this is definitely not your accommodation. If you can appreciate nice, home-made (organic) food, being part of local nature and culture, well-equipped rooms (fan, no a/c) this hide-away could enrich body, soul and positive feelings about Sri Lanka.

Ideally set in the centre of Galle, Fort de 19 Villa - Galle Fort features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is close to Galle Light house, Galle Fort and Galle Fort National Museum. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests. I recently stayed at this charming homestay located within the historic Galle Fort, and it was an unforgettable experience. The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of the fort, with easy access to its cobblestone streets, boutique shops, and delicious restaurants. However, the real highlight of this place is its stunning rooftop. The rooftop offers one of the breathtaking sunset views I’ve ever seen, specially you can enjoy lot of people hanging around on holidays with their family & friends , watch locals playing cricket , see people sitting enjoying the sun set on the wall & some even flying kites on the ramparts along with the sunset which is RARE. Every evening, I found myself eagerly heading up to watch the sky transform into a canvas of vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples as the sun dipped below the horizon. The panoramic view of the fort, the ocean, and the surrounding area made it feel like a private paradise. It’s the ideal spot to unwind with a cup of tea or a good book after a day of exploring. My room was beautiful & perfect with the Balcony & it had everything you want to make your stay comfortable. Comfy bed & water pressure was great. It had 2 large French windows which gives a bright light to the room. The homestay itself is cozy and well-maintained, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hosts were friendly and accommodating, providing helpful tips about the area. While breakfast isn’t included, there are plenty of fantastic cafes and eateries within walking distance, so it wasn’t an issue at all. If you’re looking for a peaceful and picturesque place to stay in Galle Fort, this homestay is an excellent choice. The rooftop alone is worth the stay, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who loves a good sunset view. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip to Sri Lanka.
