Guest Reviews
- Jaro (8/5): -
- sona (5/5): - We had a pleasant stay at this homestay. The host Marikar was very kind and helpful, and the location was really convenient for getting around. While there is some room for improvement, overall we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the warm hospitality.
- Charly (10/5): - L'emplacement, l'accueil du personnel.
- Eleonora (8/5): - Posizione perfetta con tutto il necessario. Merica è stato molto gentile e mi ha aiutata dandomi consigli molto utilli per il mio viaggio in solitaria.
- Frank (8/5): - Perfect location in the middle of the centre. Friendly and helpfull host Because of the wooden floor in the room above, you hear every step/move people do in that room. Even with earplugs it is almost impossible to sleep if people in that room start packing early in the morning to get the 7:30 train.
- Brian (10/5): Wonderful stay..Highly recommended.Safe and homely! - The location was extremely handy and hosts... Merikar and Srithi were beautifully warm hearted.
The loft room we stayed in was comfortable and clean.
Merikar drove us to the bus station and ensured we got on the correct bus We had no dislikes
- Megan (10/5): - We had a change of plans and arrived a day later than planned. Messaged the host in advance and they pushed our booking back one night. When we arrived they did a load of laundry for us and when asked for price they asked for just a small amount on top of paying for the hotel which was so helpful (we tipped for this). The location is great right in the centre of the fort surrounded by nice restaurants and cafes. Very well priced. Room was spacious and shower was hot. AC worked well with the fan too. They kept our bags after checkout for 5hours at no extra cost too. Very accommodating hosts. The plug sockets arent directly next to the bed so you need a fairly long cable to charge while in bed, but very minor.
- marcus (8/5): -
- Caroline (10/5): Très bien situé et accueil chaleureux - Guesthouse très bien située au cœur des rues à visiter de Galle, des restaurants, des boutiques et des remparts. Rue calme.
Clim appréciée ! Hôte très sympathique RAS
- Trine (8/5): Fantastisk beliggenhed, super venlig ejer af stedet. Pænt og rent og virkelig hyggeligt sted - Virkelig venligt og hjælpsomt personale. Rent og pænt og lige midt i byen uden larm
- FRANCOISE (8/5): - Bien situé en plein cœur de la vieille ville
Accueil chaleureux . Beaucoup de conseils de la part du propriétaire . Très gentil il nous a conduit gracieusement à la gare. Salle de bain très petite. Linge de lit à améliorer.
- Vanessa (10/5): - Cute little Guesthouse in great location in the middle of the fort with an amazing and very welcoming owner. He even gave us a ride to the bus station after checking out. Bathroom was pretty small (still enough) and floor underneath the bed could use a little bit of cleaning (besides that it was very clean though). Still very good value for money.
- Aroofa (10/5): Perfect - Everything was great, very accommodating people -
- Deepika (10/5): Hone away from home - The host and the place was really good! Worth the money Nothing
- olivia (10/5): - The hosts were wonderful - very kind and accommodating.
Room was clean and comfortable and in an excellent location.
- Annabel (8/5): Lovely hosts, great location! - Absolutely lovely people who greeted us, helped us with useful information, and we're all round kind and lovely to chat to 😊 This is what made the stay so good. The location was absolutely perfect, couldn't beat it! The price for the area was great too. The rooms were basic, but enough for us. The beds and bathroom could have been a bit cleaner.
- Guest (8/5): Excellent and we really enjoyed our time there. - Location was superb to enjoy the Galle fort and owner was very flexible, humble and friendly.
- Anna (10/5): Polecam każdemu to zakwaterowanie! - Świetny Pan właściciel - Marika, zadbał o nas do samego końca, zawożąc nas z plecakami na dworzec🥰 Co do zakwaterowania - czyściutko, wszystko zgodnie ze zdjęciami i opisem, klimatyzacja, wiatrak, ręczniki i ciepła woda. Lokalizacja jest niesamowita! Nie ma potrzeby szukać droższych opcji, tutaj poczujecie się jak u siebie🫶🏻 nic
- Oda (7/5): - Great location, very nice staff, great aircondition Beds were a bit uncomfortable, a lot of insects, bathroom could be cleaner
- James (9/5): Great location excellent host - Perfect location inside old fort. Marika Great host even gave us a ride to the train station in morning. Was a little difficult to find. Look for the barista coffee place below.
- Alison (7/5): Okay - Location. Ants and rickety stairs.
- Petrh6 (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francesco (9/5): Superb - Very well located in the centre of the fort area. Owners very helpful and plenty of suggestions to share.
Worth the money.
- Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location, great little place with a great owner!
- Mackelvie (8/5): Very good - Fantastic value for money in terrific location inside the Galle Fort. My host Merica is a true gentleman, and was also helpful in sharing his local knowledge which I appreciated. Recommended. N/A
- Ben (10/5): Exceptional - Sitti and America (sorry about the spelling!) were fantastic hosts. Great location right in the heart of the fort area. The room was spotless and very comfortable and every thing worked well. Little kitchenette and balcony available to use so you can chill out in the evening. America also gave us a free lift to the bus station. If your looking for a good value place to stay in Galle I highly recommend this place!
- Paloma (9/5): Friendly guesthouse in great location! - Great staff, thank you Merica! The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. He even brought us to the train station! Location was great, you can see everything with walking distance. Pretty balcony! The bathroom was very small and the shower not that clean. WiFi did not work well.
- Elena (9/5): Superb - Best location in Galle Fort.
Absolutely lovely hosts. America is always around and ready to help.
Quiet inside the room.
Sometimes peacocks come around for morning waking up. It’s amazing to watch them on the opposite roof 10 meters from yourself. Once I counted 6 of them at once.
Tip: crab kottu round the corner in Sugar bistro is perfect The shower is a bit challenging, but ask Merica to explain the mechanism.
- Siarhei (9/5): Superb -
- Dipti (7/5): Great location with a friendly host. - Lighthouse is located right in the centre of Galle Fort area within easy access of local cafes, restaurants and shops. There is plenty of choice but I think the prices for meals and breakfast are more expensive. Cheaper options are available if you leave the fort area. It is pleasant to walk the ramparts and places to swim within walking distance.There is an outside balcony that can be used by guests and kettle for your use with coffee and tea supplied. Very helpful and friendly host. There was a washing line to dry clothes which I appreciated. Our room was on the top floor and there are stairs to navigate . The host will help with your luggage if needed. The bedroom is in loft space so not ideal if you are tall.
- Hannes (10/5): Exceptional - The whole family was great and I had an outstanding stay at the place. I can only recommend it.
- Melissa (8/5): Very good -
- Pierre (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice location and the owner is super welcoming. The room is nice, charming and atypical
- Ansh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephan (8/5): Very good -
- Pratiksha (10/5): Comfortable stay at a prime location in budget - It’s located at a prime location from where you can walk around the place. The hosts are very nice and friendly, they made sure that we do not face any difficulty during the stay. The room we stayed was very spacious and clean. It was total value for money stay. Nothing that I can think of.
- Ali (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vaihere (10/5): Perfect last minute accomodation in the heart of Galle Fort - Best location, lovely host No breakfast available
- Elizabeth (8/5): Good value in the heart of Galle Fort - Great location, safe, lovely owner/manager Merika. Bed comfortable, fan worked well to cool the room (no need for AC although it was available), reasonably clean, good value, The property is fine for a budget stay in an expensive city. To expect boutique or resort conditions (as I feel was reflected in some reviews) is not fair to the owners. The room could use a deep, deep clean and fresh coat of paint, however it is certainly very comfortable as is!
- Jan (7/5): Super location. Super owner. Accomodation shabby and rather low quality. - Location is ideal for discovering Galle Fort. Can hardly imagine better place to be. Marika(the owner) is fun, very communicative and very nice. Nice balcony to sit in the evening. Room and space is rather shabby. Electrical socket instalation right in the shower = very dangerous. Electricity installation doesnt even come close to any standard. Room is directly under the roof thus very hot.
- Liz (7/5): Good - The hosts were lovely and the position could not have been better. The photos were extremely outdated and the room could have been cleaner. The right up implies you have your own little fridge and coffee making facilities. In fact you share with everyone on the floor below.
The bathroom was so narrow we had to sit on the loo sideways 😵💫
- Welikala (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (8/5): Very helpfull hosts and perfect location - In the middle of Fort area, all the main sights very close, also walking distance from town centre Very helpful family runs this guesthouse. Galle is The place to go so it is a bit pricey, but really worth visiting
- Remo (9/5): Superb - The staff was so nice and helpful, I loved them. The location is perfect with a lot of restaurants and all sights very closeby. And it is a beautiful old house. The cleanliness could be slightly better - i had some ants in the bathroom. Also, the bathroom itself is very old and it's quite hard to turn on hot water.
- Misha (10/5): Exceptional - The best hosts ever. They were so kind and humble. The location of the place was amazing.
Recommend 👍🏼
- Rashmika (7/5): very good - Nice place. It might be little small but very nice place.
owner is very friendly. He personally dropped us to the nearest bus station nothing
- Kasun (7/5): Good -
- Sarah (8/5): Great location and friendly host - A very friendly helpful host, made us a lovely cup of tea in the morning. The location is great, in the centre of Galle. We had a very comfortable bed. The room we were in was a little basic but comfortable.
- Monika (10/5): Nice place, comfy bed and very calm night. - Very good location, the owner was very kind, funny and helpful! We heard voices from a room under our.
- Keith (8/5): Very good -
- Jagoda (9/5): Superb - Super friendly and helpful owners! Great location
- John (9/5): Superb - Great place host nice and friendly.
- Annabelle (7/5): Great location - What an amazing location in the heart of Galle Fort. Unbeatable.
The family who ran it were kind; the ac and fan were cold; the bedding was clean and the beds were comfortable.
It was also cheaper than a meal for 4 in Galle so great value. The room could have done with a sweep and mop (floor level) and the bathroom needed a bit of a scrub. The toilet didn’t flush and I’m sure they could have fixed it but we were tired and kids weren’t dressed so we just filled up the bin and flushed it that way. It would just be good if it had been checked before we arrived. Small easy to fix things.
- Vanessa (9/5): Wonderful hosts and fabulous location - I enjoyed chatting with the hosts and strolling about the neighbourhood - location is fantastic. It's very much a homestay not a hotel, which is nice for the personal experience
- Heiko (7/5): Good location - Very nice host, very good location Thought I booked a colonialstyle Hotel, but was a kind of basic homestay.
From outside nice building, but from inside nothing special. The booked balkony wasn't attouched to the room -was a common balkony and the bathroom was very small and just a open shower next to toilet
- Fadi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Penelope (9/5): Gem in the heart of Galle Fort run by lovely old couple - Marikar and his lovely wife (a retired English teacher) made us very welcome right from the start - you couldn’t wish for nicer hosts! Marikar drove us to station and helped us in mobile phone shop. The location is just absolutely ideal - right in the heart of the Fort, but not noisy at all. We had a room with two singles and a double, sharply sloping roof (mind your head!), plenty of space, good air conditioner, hot shower - and loads of character! Exceptionally good value. Room maybe a little tatty, mattresses a bit lumpy - but that just all adds to the character, and we absolutely loved it (and the hosts).
- John (8/5): Very good -
- Giridharan (9/5): Superb -
- Koen (10/5): Exceptional - The owner and his family are very kind. But they are also not as intrusive as I experienced in other family homestays. They leave you be, you can get your own coffee or tea, and sit on the communal balcony on a rocking chair with a nice view of the roofs of fort and street life below. They are available when you need them. English is spoken well. The ac in the room works well, and there is also a fan. The property has 2 rooms. Its in the perfect location in Galle. Have an early morning/ or afternoon swim near the city walls at either the lighthouse, or the Triton bastion (my favorite spot).
- Kate (10/5): Brilliant hosts, lovely room! - The family who run the guest house are wonderful! They are so helpful with arranging transport etc. And just generally always on hand for anything. The room was old style colonial architecture with beautiful wooden beams. Location was perfect.
- Sheka (10/5): Great Vibe! - The host is amazing person and so do their family , they helped us with the transportation suggestions and the best places to visit, also the shops to buy souvenirs. 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. Just be mindful with the head space for the tall people from the roof for the last bed, the roof is slanted. It's not an issue just a point to be noted.
- Guoda (10/5): Perfect! - Very good quality for the price. Room was clean, with all the necessities. Location is great, quiet, easy to find, it has a very nice balcony for breakfast. But I also want to say special thank you for the owner Merica. He treated us like family, gave us very helpfull information how successcully reach airport and this saved as a lot of time in Colombo. N/a
- Alison (8/5): Very good - Great location family run business. Great couple The owners
- Moana (10/5): Ideal location for visiting Galle - We had such a wonderful time at Lighthouse Guest! Our host Merica and his family were so lovely to us, and our two rooms were excellent with good air conditioning, WiFi, showers and cozy rooms. The location is perfect and it is well worth the price! Strongly recommend!
- Nipuna (10/5): Exceptional - Mr Marikkar is a very friendly person and he maintains the place clean and tidy. Very close to Galle fort lighthouse and great value for the money.
- Loz (6/5): Pleasant -
- Thahirally (8/5): Very good - Location was good.
Host was very helpful The unfortunate power failure
- Lisa (10/5): Lovely place and great location - Wonderful guesthouse right in the centre of Galle Fort but still very quiet at night. Malikar is super welcoming and lovely, room clean, good hot shower and A/C.
- Kruki (9/5): Very glad to have stayed here - Great location, the room has AC and a fan, hot water worked perfectly too. Balcony in the evening is also a nice addition, together with a cup of tea. But the host was the best - extremely helpful, spoke good English and dropped us off at the bus station and made sure we got the right bus - thank you so much! Small suggestion - the floor rugs in the room seemed a little dirty and the wifi is a bit slow, but we didn’t really need it during our stay.
- Marzena (10/5): We came for one night, fell in love with the place and decided to stay longer. - Wonderful place with amazing family as hosts. The locasion is in the very centre of the old town, in a quiet narrow street with spectacular terrace over it. The hosts are helpful, knowing good English, comunicative. Loved the afternoons together. You have access to fridge and can make your tee/coffee anytime. The internet is working, rooms are clean. Strongly recommended! No complaints, everything was perfect.
- Catherine (10/5): Extremely kind and helpful host, excellent location and comfortable room. Very happy with this choice, especially for th -
- Taranya (9/5): Pleasant and comfortable stay. - Beautiful property located centrally. The property and hosts exuded warmth. The room was spacious for two people, bathroom was clean and well maintained. We were provided with fresh towels and sheets. Overall, a great place to stay for solo travellers and families. Nothing that was a deal breaker.
- Lannie (10/5): Exceptional - Great location in the heart of the fort. Host was very accommodating and helpful with local information.
- Arun (10/5): basic amenities, gyser, water heater, clean bathroom, good rooms, nice host. what else do we need :) - Its so close to the fort, lighthouse and beach. Its a very very old Dutch period house All amenities were there. the pantry was stacked with tea bags, coffee sachets, water heater etc. clean space, good rooms and ofcourse Dutch architecture was wonderful.. evening walk at the streets was just amazing.. Cost was a little high but remembers its way cheaper than other properties in the same location. Also, the owner is very very supportive and takes stand for the visitors of his property. Hosts wife is also very supportive.
- Megan (8/5): Very good -
- Phillip (7/5): Great location for a fews nights, good price, little worn down. - The location of the accommodation is very good, in the middle of the historic centre of Galle. The rooms are arranged around a nice green backyard and the operators are very nice and helpful. The rooms are very basic, which is not a problem in itself, but unfortunately also a little run-down. The bathroom in particular has seen better days.
- Nivlun (5/5): Passable - Lovely couple. Friendly and affable. Makes you feel at ease. Could hear other guest above me moving around. Not a lot of privacy. Can also hear the host families going about their daily lives. Feel a bit like a homestay. Late in the night a family member came out to watch YouTube or Sinhalese movie on their phone. Noisy. The person move away when I pop my head out tho. Which was really thoughtful!
- Marc (10/5): Fantastic! - Everything was great. The friendliest hosts we’ve had over our 2 week trip across Sri Lanka. Highly recommend!
- Marina (7/5): Good -
- Vanessa (9/5): Awesome stay inside Galle fort - The family who run this place are amazing. They were informative about Galle, highlighting the history, local eating places and sites to visit. We enjoyed our chats. They helped us with arrangements for our onward train journey. We really enjoyed our 1 night stay and only wished we had stayed a little longer ❤️
- Asela (9/5): Superb - Great location. Any place within the Galle Fort is accessible within a few minutes. Lots of cafes and restaurants in the vicinity. There's a coffee shop downstairs and a restaurant next door.
- Polyana (9/5): Superb - Great location and the owner hospitality is excellent!
- Anu1991 (6/5): Pleasant -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - They are good people, and the accommodation reflects this. Thank you so much. I wish you all the best for the future.
- Katherine (10/5): Awesome location, room and hosts. - Awesome location, room and hosts.
Merica greeted me as soon as my cab pulled up, and was there as we pulled away, too. I felt so taken care of throughout my stay.
The hosts are so personable and welcoming, which I really appreciated traveling as a solo female. It was so nice talking with them and even meeting their 1-1/2 yr old grandson, (who is an awesome, adorable fist bumper.)
They offered info and directions for the Heritage Week events.
The room I got was great. It was very clean. I felt very cozy and absolutely loved it.
Common area included a hot water kettle, tea and coffee.
The location is amazing, and I’m so happy I decided to spend a little more to stay at a great place inside the fort. Close to look out over the ocean, catch the beautiful sunsets, and close to the great cafes, restaurants and shops.
Very enjoyable visit. Highly recommend staying here.
- Akila (7/5): Good -
- Markéta (9/5): Superb - What makes this accomodation exceptional is the owner who is very kind and very helpful. He helped us with finding the private driver for our sightseeing, helped us negotiate the prices, offered to laundry our clothes, give us the ride to the train station on our last day....if you are in this area I highly recommend this accomodation. Please be aware that the pictures you see are a little bit outdated and that in reality the room equipment is a little bit worn out.
- Gabriel (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely delightful stay! The charming ambiance, impeccable service, and cozy atmosphere made the experience truly memorable. A hidden gem that promises comfort and tranquility. Highly recommend !
- Shady (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandhya (5/5): Passable -
- Bradley (10/5): Booked one night, extended to two, considering coming back for a month! - Merikar! He was the best! Truly, whenever there was wildlife that you could see from the balcony he would let my children know. We saw families of monkeys pass by and peacocks and lizards down below in the gutters. 😄 everything on the fort is in walking distance and has two coffee shops right on same block. Plenty of amazing restaurants and I suggest you ask around to find the ones owned locally because these are gorgeous heritage properties that have been in their families for generations. We especially loved Al Forno for breakfast and Church st for dinner. Leave room for a different gelato or ice cream shop every night. 🤣 mornings are great for snorkeling on the beach below the wall. Great variety of fish!! Just bring your own snorkeling gear as we did because as far as we found there is none available on the fort. Nothing. We knew going into it that we would be in attic type rooms to fit our family of six and they were so cute and cozy. Merikar even dropped all six of us and luggage off at the bus station in his own car when we left.🤩 Best home stay ever!
- Binuri (9/5): Superb - The convenience, the friendly staff, the cleanliness Nothing at all
- Nicole (9/5): Run by a man who is made to be a good host. Thank you! - Amazing host with good tipps about anything you might need and some funny jokes thrown in there too.
Room was tidy and had everything we needed. Great location on the dutch ford. All that for a very good price. Not the easiest to find because the sign wasn't very visible.
- Ruwan (9/5): Superb - Room was good and large The Washroom was not bit clean..
- Shenal (6/5): Pleasant - The place was good and the host was a very pleasant person.
- Prestnes (10/5): It was a very pleasant stay. Merica is so nice and helped us with everything we needed. - Merica was super nice and the apartment was perfect for the three of us (it could fit 5). Super central and cheap! Nothing
- Ravi (9/5): Excellent stay. - Excellent location, very easy to reach from the train/bus station and a short walk away from many attractions/restaurants. Mr Marikar is a very friendly host who was very helpful and responded immediately to all our requests. Even stored my medicines in his fridge and administered my eye drops. Organised a trishaw to take us to the Unawatuna beach and negotiated a very good rate for the trip. Took the family room, advertised to sleep 4 but could have fitted 5 into the comfortable beds. The room has a sloping roof and the ceiling is low on one side so just be careful not to bump your head! :) It was not an issue for our party of three though.
- Anonymous (6/5): Pleasant - The owner was amazing. Wa's really kind and helpful
The location in the heart of the fort was perfect for long walks and places to go see and eat in. The room was so hot due to it being in the lift.
The aircon wasn't really helpful, and we had to remove 3 massive cockraoches from the room.
We left a day early due to changed plans.
- Абрамов (8/5): Very good - The owner and the balcony
