Indika, Dineshi and their children and all of the staff are really what makes places like these so special. We had a wonderful time. The hotel itself is spectacular! The pool refreshing and well designed throughout. The kitchen is excellent and the one time we decided to have dinner in Galle we were left wondering why we didn’t just stay at the hotel to eat the food was that good!

This beautifully restored property brings you back in time in the most elegant way. We loved every minute of our stay and our room and surrounds were unparalleled. It’s an easy still into the bustling town, but to be honest we almost felt like we didn’t want to leave. The staff were as welcoming and friendly as you could possibly imagine.

The Galle Heritage Villa is really a fantastic place to stay in Galle. Ideally located in a nice central street of the Galle Fort, this beautifully renovated colonial house is perfect. Very warm welcome from the people managing the place, very quiet area and room, at our arrival, and all along the stay. The Villa is decorated with a perfect taste and refinement, large common areas, a nice yard with trees, grass, amchairs and garlands of lights at night. We stayed in one of the 2 rooms at the frist floor. Our room was very accommodating and spacious, with a kettle for making tea and coffee. Here also a refined choice of teas. The bathroom was huge with every possible comfort and nicely decorated. The value for money was really good. Do not hesitate one second!

Well placed close de Galle Fort and to the main beaches by tuk tuk, but located in a quiet property away from the bustle and noise. Rooms are spacious and very clean, with comfortable beds and an amazing outdoor toilet & shower. Beautiful garden, a small clean pool in a natural environment and great breakfast. The owner was very kind and attentive, helpful in anything we needed. He made us feel at home and that really makes a difference. Absolutely recommend it and will certainly return if we are again in Galle.

I enjoyed my stay in Galle.

I enjoyed my stay in Galle. The place was very clean and the environment was relaxing. It’s a good location to explore the city and enjoy the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the beds were a bit old and already broken, so it wasn’t very comfortable. If they fix that, it would be a much better stay. Overall, a nice experience and good value.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting. Just DON’T use the White Queen, as the manager will make it very difficult for you to get any redress if there’s a problem (I was charged for a five night stay instead of Four, and only realised after payment had been taken-silly me!) Enjoy your stay, just elsewhere in Galle.

Absolutely filthy city.

Absolutely filthy city. Litter everywhere, all around the fort was dirty and had rubbish , plastic waste and broken bottles strewn around and piled up in bags. They should revoke the UNESCO rating for the fort so the government clean it up. It was months of rubbish or like a field after a festival and not just rubbish after a weekend. There were just a few rubbish bins around the ramparts but they were overflowing and broken By far the dirtiest city we have visited in Sri Lanka

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.

If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

The setting, the beauty of the hotel itself, its location within the old Galle Fort zone, which was matched only by the quality of the service. Special mention must go to Suneth who took personal responsibility for ensuring our stay met and then exceeded our expectations. He then organised for our complementary transfer to Tangalle after some scheduling adjustments and later reconnected with us to assist with further transfers further into our Sri Lanka trip. Above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Suneth.

Great stay at Windy Garden. Spacious, very clean room, modern bathroom, and a great balcony overlooking the lovely pool. Breakfast was good, a choice between continental and Sri Lankan. One evening, sitting on the balcony, we had a sunset watching monkeys in the trees behind the hotel, which was special. Only a short ride 5-10 minutes)to Galle in a tuk tuk. Staff were very good, happy and polite.

This was the best stay we had till our stay in Sri Lanka. The house is very cosy, clean, and has a calm location. 5 minutes from the hotel, you can find the main road, where you can get bus to Galle Fort. One thing that really stood outwas that he was concerned for his guests genuinely and treated us like a family. If you are visiting with a family, this is the best place.

This is a hidden gem in beautiful Galle Fort. The staff are exceptional, helpful and very caring. I had a bad foot whilst here and they sourced me some lotion as was concerned about my welfare. Above and beyond for a hotel. If I am ever lucky enough to return to this stunning part of Sri Lanka, I would without hesitation stay here and would definitely recommend it.
