Ive just returned from the most enjoyable stay in Galle at the Sun House. The staff and accommodation was everything that I was looking for. The hotel has recently been refurbished with the greatest respect to all the original features of the building and it just hit the spot. Delightful and helpful staff which made my stay. A big thank you to all the staff for making my trip memorable, I look forward to my next visit!

The family room is lovely. It’s spacious, it is quiet at night, the decor is really nice. The food is amazing- especially the french breakfast. The location could not be better. The staff were all lovely, the owners of course, but it was the housekeeper who stole our heart with how sweet she was with our baby. We will never stay anywhere else if we come back to the fort. If you are coming to Galle Fort, you will not be disappointed with your stay at Le Jardin du Fort.

It was an amazing stay, biggest thanks to the owner Kumudu and his staff. The location of the property is great - everything is easy reachable by tuk tuk - the Galle center, great beaches, restaurants and so on. We really loved our superior deluxe room with jungle view, we even saw monkeys up close from our terrace! Room had an amazing outdoor shower which we loved very much, room was very spacious and equipped with everything that you might need like the shampoo, shower gel, soap, hairdryer, high quality mosquito net, tea kettle etc. We also loved traditional Sri Lankan breakfast every morning. Overall it was a very peaceful, relaxing stay with a beautiful surroundings and a feeling like you are staying in the middle of a jungle. Thank you once again Kumudu, our biggest recommendations to stay in Ceylon Olive Galle when in Sri Lanka.

We stayed here for two nights. It was a sanctuary in the middle of Galle Fort. We were looked after by Prasa who was very kind. We met my son and his friends for my 60th birthday. We sat in the open lounge and the team made a beautiful birthday cake. We would like to have extended our stay but the rooms were fully booked. Thank you for your hospitality - a beautiful place to stay.

The location was superb, we could walk across to the Neptune Bastion, and also to the streets filled with cafe's restaurants, and small boutiques. The staff and the chef were superb and quick to respond to our expectations. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful especially the Sri Lankan cuisine, which the chef explained in great detail. It was like staying in our own home, and a luxury to come home to, after a hot day out in the sun.

Everything about our four nights at Ginganga Lodge was exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The setting is beautiful and the attention to detail impressive. The staff are attentive without being in any way intrusive and the food, and the cocktails, were all delicious. We stayed in the Deluxe Suite which was just amazing. We took advantage of the tuktuk service into Galle and were always picked up promptly when we requested a return. We stayed in some superb places on our three week trip but this was the best.
