The Well House Galle Sri Lanka

Absolutely loved the stay. We came with a two pets-dogs, and it was very comfortable. Initially we came for only two days, but we extended our trip for another two days because it was so beautiful, relaxing and the hospitality was at its best. And it’s literally on the beach. It also gives access to privacy, lots of nature. Really good food by the private chef and amazing pool. Absolutely love the entire premises and the hospitality. Most of the attractions are also pretty close by. I highly recommend and would love to come back and stay again.

That we had to leave

This was a highlight of our vacation. Perfect for ending our trip with a high note. Firstly, the facilities were amazing - such cool historical colonial style. The pool was great as well. Secondly, we felt like royalty - the staff was so warm and welcoming. And they noticed everything, we felt so taken care of. The most amazing part was the in house cook who prepared such nice meals for us. I highly recommend choosing this accommodation.

Keep in mind that you have to travel a bit with tuk tuk if you want to go to Galle Fort.

Beautiful building, great gardens and pool, spotlessly clean

It was a really beautiful house and garden. We loved watching the birds flying around at the garden and we easily spend several hours relaxing by the lovely pool. The rooms are nicely decorated and there are many places to sit down and relax. The staff is exceptionally nice and professional, they did an amazing job!

The setting was simply amazing. The staff was very well groomed and courteous. Last but but not the least the food was amazingly delicious

The rooms were too far away from each other

The Well House, Galle / Unawatuna border Outside the gates, the streets are busy, noisy and chaotic – but the moment you step through The Well House entrance, it feels like entering a completely different world. The property is beautiful, clean and peaceful, with a well-maintained garden and a lovely swimming pool that create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the rooms are spacious, bright and well cleaned. The overall ambiance of the place is elegant and serene. There are a few things worth noting. There is no guest kitchen available. Instead, the property has a chef who prepares meals on request, but guests do not have access to the kitchen. This works well if you prefer ordering food, but may be limiting for those who like to cook themselves or especially when traveling with children, the lack of a refrigerator and the inability to prepare small evening snacks was inconvenient. The room furnishings are quite minimal. There were no chairs or a table inside the room, so the only place to sit was on the bed. There is outdoor seating in the garden, but having basic seating inside the room would significantly improve comfort. Additionally, there is no refrigerator in the room, only a kettle. The nearby beach was unfortunately very dirty, with plastic and rubbish everywhere and no visible effort to keep it clean. This is not the property’s fault, but the contrast with the beautifully maintained garden was striking. Overall, The Well House is a peaceful and stylish retreat on the Galle–Unawatuna border. With a few improvements to room amenities, the experience could be nearly perfect.

What I personally did not like was that the marketing Lady representative sent a list of rules stating that bringing your own food is strictly forbidden and subject to fines. This felt unnecessarily strict and unwelcoming, especially for longer stays or guests who prefer flexibility.

The property is well kept, and the staff were very attentive to our needs. The rooms are spacious but basic. Food was tasty. Main plus point is the staff, they were simply great.

The pool was not kid friendly, its around 5 feet in depth throughout so you cant leave kids by themselves Food was tasty but it was overpriced and not value for money. There were no shower cubicles, and the bathroom gets wet once you have a shower Even though there are 4 rooms, 2 rooms are in the main building and the other 2 rooms away from the main building Also trying to add 3% on top for credit cards is a big no no!

Wybierając Well House miejsca na odpoczynek po intensywnym zwiedzaniu. Willa i jej personel spełniły nasze oczekiwania. Pracownicy dyskretnie ale uważnie i szybko reagowali na nawet nie wypowiedziane potrzeby. Szef Kuchni Mangala serwował nam natomiast codziennie rano wyborne śniadanie a wieczorem wykwintne kolacje. Na mieście było by może ciut taniej? Fakt. Jednak smak, sposób podania i atmosfera w Well House sprawiły, że stołowaliśmy się wyłącznie na miejscu. Jeżli szukasz miejsca dającego poczucie komfortu to dobrze trafiłeś.

The place was beautiful and clean. Superb staff. The chef is brilliant ans the eastern food is a must try.

The rooms are slightly away but manageable.
