Guest Reviews

• Bandara (10/5): Simply loved it!!! - One of the best stays I have booked through booking.com, probably the best I guess.The owner of the villa was really kind and friendly. The surrounding was clean and so quiet and I should say, the breakfast was EXCEPTIONAL!!!. It was beyond our expectations! Loved the stay and hoping to come back quite soon.
• Shan31 (10/5): 3 day stay . - Ishaan the caretaker/manager was always present and cheerful.Willing to help with everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings and quiet although near the city.very much recommend. Nothing
• Disha Satish (10/5): - Had an amazing stay at Villa Cork in Galle! The villa is beautiful, peaceful, and extremely budget friendly. It’s located just a few minutes away from the main center, with a lovely river-facing view that made the stay even more relaxing. What truly made this place special was the host, Ishaan. He was one of the best people we met during our trip — incredibly kind, informative, and always ready to help with recommendations and anything we needed. His warm hospitality made us enjoy this stay even more. If you’re looking for a calm, affordable, and welcoming place in Galle, I would definitely recommend Villa Cork. Everything was perfect

• Janeth F A McGill (6/5): Just below value for money. Lots of room for improvement. Great potential. - The outlook was great. Some wild life: mongoose, monkeys and peacock. Bed was comfortable. Aircon, fan and tv. Tepid water let the fantastic shower down. Would have been excellent if there's hot water. No jug so can't have tea or coffee that was supplied. The noise from other rooms keep us awake. Breakfast was interesting.

The cleanliness in the room and the surrounding is 10/10. The place is situated near a river with a nice ecosystem. Ideal for bird watching too. Very calm and quite. The owner is very friendly and honest. The food is superb. Kids friendly, with a big garden. Free onsite parking available. On high security surveillance.
• Patrik (10/5): - Trevligt och lugnt ställe. Väldigt avkopplande miljö med mycket djurliv runtomkring. Rummet var bra med bra ac och en mycket skön säng.Frukosten var väl tilltagen och mycket mättande. Familjen som har stället är mycket vänliga och hjälper gärna till om man behöver något
• Hanna (10/5): - It was a wonderful stay. Unfortunately, we only had one night but with such a huge and clean room and a fantastic view of the little lake, we would have loved to stay longer. The host was very, very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was homemade and fabulous. We can recommend this villa to everyone 😊.
• Pascal (8/5): - L’accueil du réceptionniste 👌 Système d’eau chaude
• Azeefa (5/5): - The location and the view of the place was good. Spacious rooms. The smell of smoking withing the sitting room area was a difficult thing to bear with. Facilities and equiments could have been arranged far ahead .
• Amelie (10/5): - Une très jolie maison dans une petite ruelle au calme, avec une petite famille de singes qui joue dans les arbres en face de la chambre ! Le couple qui tient cet hôtel est adorable, d’une gentillesse incroyable et toujours souriant ! Un bon petit déjeuner Sri Lankais, et une chambre confortable ! Je recommande :)

• Chan (10/5): Exceptional - All are very good. Highly recommended!!
• Ellen (9/5): Lovely accommodation but needs mosquito nets - Gorgeous rooms - spacious with comfortable beds, garden is beautiful and peaceful. Good distance between Galle Fort and beaches too but definitely would recommend having a car if you stay here! Free water refill & laundry too which was very useful Desperately needs mosquito nets on the bed. Situated next to a lake so lots of them around - we had about 15 in our room on the first night which was such a shame as it was all perfect apart from that!
• Hettige (8/5): Very good -
• Wasantha (9/5): Superb - Friendly staff, and comfortable room’s
• Rahul (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and tidy rooms…the owner of the property is very helpful and friendly …
• Arno (9/5): Superb -
• Kasun (6/5): Not a “wow” or “meh” experience. - Bathroom was nice and clean. Spacious room. Had a mild bad odor when entering. Only 1 nightstand stool at bedside. Other person doesn’t have a place to keep their phone.
• Lauren (8/5): Very good -
• M (9/5): Superb -
• Shane (8/5): Very good -
• Nilhan (8/5): It was a short & sweet one night stay well worth and recommended - It is a well laid out beautiful property with 4 luxury Villas and a very convenient location to Galle City with all the luxury amenities and a very good host Ramyajith ensured we were comfortable The room was very spacious with a well laid out kitchenette and very comfortable bed Breakfast was basic need to be prepared with some choices to the guests would have been much better
• Percival (5/5): Probably the property should improve room facilities. - Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Location and the facilities.
• Christine (8/5): Comfy bed , clean modern room with so much potential - Very clean and modern with lovely balcony (however this was a shared balcony) The breakfast was pretty bad with no selection . Lack of furniture in bedroom even though bedroom was very large by standards. And the only seating area was on the balcony, which was shared by complete strangers next door !!
• Lauren (8/5): Very good - I agree with other reviews that this property has so much potential. - The room we stayed in was large with a/c and a very comfy bed - The shower was also great - The property sits right by a lake and it’s quite a unique setting - Well located away from the main road so you don’t hear traffic. This is replaced by the sounds of nature - Comfy chairs on the veranda Communication at check-in and throughout our stay could have been better. When we checked in, we were just given the key. We weren’t told about breakfast times so I forgot that our booking even included it. We then received two texts and a call asking why we weren’t at breakfast. We also went searching for a kettle for hot water in the evening as we weren’t aware a locked door in the room was access to a kitchen. Perhaps if this was clarified as check-in or if there was an information card in the room then these issues wouldn’t have happened. This property has so much potential.
• Jf (10/5): Excellent Stay - One of the best places we've stayed at in Sri Lanka! - Room was very clean, big and spacious. Big wardrobe as well with lots of storage and hangers. - Property is off the main road so we had slept soundly each night as it was super quiet. The bed was big and very comfortable. - The A/C and fan worked perfectly. - Shower was amazing and had unlimited hot water with tons of pressure. Shampoo, shower gel, hand soap and bath towels all provided. - Breakfast was different and delicious each morning. We could watch monkeys in the trees while eating on the top floor. Property is gated and felt very safe. The owners were very kind and helpful with anything needed. Would definitely stay again! Nothing really. An information sheet in the room or sent by message through Booking.com would be helpful though for arriving guests (wifi information, where to find drinking water, what time breakfast is available, etc).
• Novella (10/5): Exceptional - Silent, green, fresh, spacious and clean nest in the proximity of the Fort, which is reachable in 30 min walk along the main road. Private access to a kitchen and the laundry is a great plus.
• Bernadette (10/5): Exceptional - Staff awesome. Very accommodating. If you needed anything they provided
• Elizabeth (10/5): I ended up staying an extra night as I liked it. - Room was large, clean and very comfortable. It had access to a kitchen with fridge and kettle. Gardens were beautiful and well maintained with lots of wildlife and view of the lake. Breakfast was wonderful too.
• Aly (10/5): Stay!!! - We've read lots of reviews saying places are fantastic but this is the real McCoy. Everything is great.....Location, property, cleanliness, staff, food, size of room, bathroom, huge balcony....... Beautiful garden, great breakfast, great opportunity to see wildlife, absolutely lovely staff who went the extra mile even getting us a fridge for our room. Nothing
• Nicolas (9/5): Great place to relax. - Nice and cosy place, great to relax from the busy life elsewhere in Sri Lanka. Nice view on the lake and into the palm trees, with birds & monkeys. The Breakfast was nice as well, you get to choose between a western or traditional meal.
• Snajeewa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aziz (10/5): Excellent Stay - The villa is a gorgeous location on top of that the host is very humble and caring, and the way he hosted our stay was stunning, He helped in every bit from arranging a barbecue party, and delicious food or dropping us to the location when we couldn't find the transport the host's were there.. Please book the property without even giving a second thought your stay will be amazing......
• Milena (10/5): Excellent - Villa Cork is an incredible place to stay for someone who loves nature and peace. The courtyard with a lake, monkeys in the palm trees, an eagle in the air, a nightly concert of birds and crickets gives the feeling that you are in the middle of a tropical forest, but actually a little further from the center of Galle. The large terrace made it possible to enjoy a corner of paradise. The villa offers everything you need to feel at home. The host was very helpful and went the extra mile. The breakfasts were plentiful and very tasty. I recommend to anyone visiting Galle, not to miss an unforgettable experience.
• Winstina (10/5): Beautiful home with a beautiful family - We loved how quiet and peaceful the property was! It was very clean, the family were very kind and when we had any questions or problems they fixed it right away. They were always available and gave us Ana amazing experience. One night they even let me sister join in on their family party which was very kind of them, as she had not been feeling well. Nothing
• Shehan (9/5): Superb - The property is in a convenient location just before entering Galle town (when coming from Colombo). Comfortable beds and helpful staff. Very limited parking space within the property
• Jieqiong (9/5): Comfortable - Lovely room with spacious balcony in the second floor.The views there is so good!Definitely a peaceful place with good energy.Staffs are polite and nice,they made me delicious breakfast and helped me a lot. I need to work online.It would be better if an official table and chare was provided.
• Mahil (8/5): Good value and excellent for a short stay - Large clean rooms; nice view of lake. Friendly staff. Quiet location. For those looking for a hotel type stay it is not. It more a home type stay run by a family
• Awad (10/5): Exceptional - 🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴 Staff was so incredible and every thing is beautiful and perfect villa to stay and enjoying your night
• Nick (5/5): Passable - It was closed so we didn’t stay there and they didn’t inform us too. So we had to find another place to stay.
• Kerry (10/5): Lovely hosts - The owners of villa cork are absolutely lovely very accommodating people and very easy to communicate with the accommodation is comfortable, clean and in a great location Nothing
• Mahsa (8/5): Very good -
• Dulshan (9/5): Superb -
• Harry (3/5): would not return to this villa - the bathrooms were nice and newly renovated we were told by the property manager that we had exclusive use of the villa as we thought it was one villa. only to be told it’s apartments and we only had the ground flour of two bedrooms, two en-suites and a kitchen. when we arrived the villa is in a beautiful location with monkeys and lizards. but the place was not clean at all, the bedrooms and bathroom were ok. the wardrobe smelled really bad and made the towels smell awful so we had to wash them before using them. the kitchen looked like it hadn’t been cleaned at all, after we went shopping we had to deal clean the kitchen before actually settling in. we could deal with the bugs outside but there was constant bugs inside that we had to deal with very often. the kitchen facilities were below basic, they had no utensils to use, pretty poor equipment. when we arrived there was hardly anything that booking says they have, the manager had to fetch a kettle and microwave only because we asked. also had to buy a knife as the one there couldn’t cut anything at all. this is not the place to cook and relax. we also weren’t told that we had to pay cash on leaving the villa luckily we had enough but the manager had 3 days to tell us we needed cash and didn’t. the breakfast we had was okay and a nice gesture, except food not being covered so when we arrived to breakfast there weren’t ants and bugs everywhere.
• Toninio (10/5): Amazing experience :) - The house is very well located and very cosy. Owners are very kind and helpful. I strongly recommend this place.
