Everything was great, lovely (very responsive) hosts, beautiful accommodation, with very large bathroom, perfect breakfast. Our children loved the two cats, the dog and the peacock. We only stayed one night, but would have loved to stay a couple more.

We LOVED the sun house, even though we have always stayed in really nice places in Sri Lanka, this was by far the best. The location is great, you pay around 200 LKR to go to Galle Fort. The garden and the house itself is beautiful. The food was great, one of the best we had in Sri Lanka. Really good value for money and super tasty. And the staff was simply amazing. There was always someone around and usually we even didn’t have to say anything- when we left the room, they would think of cleaning our room, if we lay down by the pool they would bring water. They remember all our wishes for breakfast (eg no bananas) and we never had to ask for it again. I want to particularly point out the service of Priyantha and Tharindu, they were lovely and always had a nice story to tell or a recommendation to give. Thank you so much for making our stay special

We made the booking in the last minute. And we arrived early so of course our room was not ready. We were okey with it, we just wanted to put our bags to any place. But they gave us a temporary room. And they said we'd stay as long as we wanted. They brought us avocado juice and then tea with pancake. We weren't expect this hospitality because we stayed many places in Sri Lanka. We rest in the temporary room and then they get our room ready. We are really surprized when we saw the room. Because it's so huge and has everything. We really felt like at home. This people are extraordinary. We extended our stay and second and third day we were trying to complete the payment. They didn't want us to make the payment right away. They said we could do it whenever we were available. Finally, on the third day, we were able to pay, and although they brought us a lot of food, tea, snacks, they did not ask for the payment for them. They said "you are our guest" ❤️ The family are so kind and very friendly 🙏 we wish to stay here again❤️ A big thank you for everything! We appreciate what you did in our stay🙏 If you want to know more info about the room, ıt was so huge and clean. All furnitures are new and in good condition. Actually they just started to rent this place. So you can be sure everything is new and very clean. If you can ask, they can bring you a kettle. Also the family has a mini market in the entry. You can buy anything with a good price. You can be sure that they will do everything in their power to make you comfortable. You won't find such service even in a much more expensive place. I hope if you come to Galle you will choose Silver Rail based on the satisfaction of all reviews. I recommend it wholeheartedly. We rate this place 10/10000000000000000000👌

We had a pleasant 2 days stay in this beautiful and stylish hotel with bespoke interiors and convenient location near the beach and not far from the Galle Fort. The hotel staff Varuni and Roshan were extremely helpful and nice. They helped us with our requests to make our stay the most comfortable. The breakfast prepared by the staff was delicious and nicely served. We look forward to staying in Taavetti Hotel again.

The entire setting, including the buildings, pool and gardens embodies elegance and tranquility. The service, ably led by Shanthra, was discreet and professional. We appreciated that the location is a little away from the bustle and noise of the city center, yet in easy reach by tuk-tuk. The room was spacious, well-appointed and clean.

This was a very comfortable and excellently located hotel. The outstanding element to our stay were the hotel staff led by Hirudima. They were delightful and Hirudima went out of his way to be helpful and friendly. He even organised a courier to deliver a bag we left behind to our next location. The hotel staff made our stay in Galle a real pleasure and were among the very best we have encountered throughout our many hotel stays in Sri Lanka.

This is a small hotel with three rooms. The staff here takes good care of the guests. Don't expect a fully functional reception desk. It is more like an upscale homestay. Having said that, i must add that this bungalow has been lovingly restored, it is aesthetically pleasing and there is a touch of personalised care in everything. Best place to stay inside the galle fort.

Despite having staffing issues and working full time as a teacher he went out of his way to ensure my stay was perfect, and specially made me a delicious breakfast to suit my dietary needs. I wish I had more time to stay here longer and 100% recommend this place to everyone.

We had a wonderful time right in the centre of the Dutch town with everything at walkable distance. It is probably the best place to stay at reasonable prices in Galle.

It is a homely stay and the best location inside the Dutch fort of galle. Just around 1km from the railway station and 300 metres from the beach/sunset point. The common balcony has beautiful vibe to chill. There are three beds and spacious for 3-4 people. Highly Recommended lighthouse guest stay.

He took us to the station early morning on his car which was very much appreciated! The house is amazing - a real historical gem full of authentic features and antiques. The location is perfect - on a quiet side street round the corner from many restaurants and the fort wall overlooking the sea. It was a fantastic place to stay!
