From

The owner is very hospitable and attentive. We had some issues with the AC in our room, she came herself to check and also ordered service to fix it right away. The stay was made more enjoyable by the impeccable service of the staff. Cant recommend this place enough! It was the most comfortable stay we had in Galle.

Best host of Sri Lanka easily. He really wanted us to have good time as well as organized a taxi to airport. Was amazing to fall asleep listening sounds of the waves. And to add, pressure of the shower was best we have had. Food too was very tasty!

The stay at Villa Arushina was exceptional. The lady took care of every request, the beautiful villa is impeccably decorated, a clean and air-conditioned room with toilet and shower. The internet was also excellent. Happily, I arrived at a great time - on New Year's Eve! I got to experience the holiday in a pure authentic way and learn about Buddhist customs and tradition. Eat local food through breakfast and holiday dinner. For me it was an amazing experience. I got to know a lovely family. I have no doubt that on my next visit to Sri Lanka I will return there. Thanks🙏🏼

Madhusankha

From

Sri Lanka

Almost everything was great. This is the first time we tried a place like this. Usually we go for a villa but this time we went for a homestay. Both breakfast and dinner were great. The room was clean. This is the first time I saw two pillows per person =D. Really felt like staying at a place that you already know. Also dini galle is placed in a calm area which is great. It's around 4km from galle fort (around 400LKR if you use pickme, around 600-700LKR if you use general tuk tuk)

Amazing breakfast, different each morning & they took the time & explained the local food to us. Location right in the middle of the old fort, easy access & walking to everything. Room size was large & bathroom very big. Decor lovely, even had our own private breakfast patio amongst the garden. Monkeys in the trees above. Definitely would stay again & not hesitate to recommend. Staff beautiful helpful people.
