Guest Reviews

• Laura (10/5): 10/10 suositus rentoutujalle - Hieno ja siisti hotelli. Isot tilavat huoneet, jotka olivat erittäin siistit. Aamupala oli loistava ja uima-altaassa uima lämmintä vettä. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja auttavaista. Rauhallinen sijainti, mutta tuktuk:lla pääsee helposti Gallen- ja Mirissan keskustaan. Ruuan ja juomien hinnat hieman korkeat paikalliseen hintatasoon nähden
• Luke (10/5): Very relaxing - Very beautiful , amazing gardens pool and right on the beach , very private large accommodation. With rear garden showers
• Konstantinos (10/5): - The premises The beach isn't quite great
• Céline (10/5): Excellentissime !!!! - Propriétaires et personnels au top !!! Aux petits soins, sourires, discrétions…. À ajouter que la restauration est divine.
• Marcus (10/5): Exceptional - All round great place, lovely staff.
• Janine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jaume (10/5): The place to be! We highly recommend elysium! Amazing experience! - We highly recommend elysium! Best place we have ever been in our life! Best in Sri Lanka so far, the food is just amazing, I’m a chef with 1 Michelin star and one green star and I can tell you they know what they do, we ate at the hotel every day, best food we tried in Sri Lanka, and they have amazing local variety menu “a la carte” with Asian and Indian cuisine, the fresh fruit , drinks and wine collection they have is also unique and amazing, nobody else has it in Sri Lanka. Also the place is extraordinary , clean, calm and extremely private you really feel like you have it for yourself, the staff is very very nice, polite and respectful, anything you need they will help you, they have a private access to the beach where the view and sunset is amazing, imagine how amazing it is, I have asked my future wife to get married there at the beach by the hotel, really a very beautiful and unique place, the privacy and the calm make everything so especial, also the staff was super friendly and help me with talking pictures, amazing, what else? We couldn’t ask for more. But also the owner Catherine and her husband run this place with extraordinary excellence and also they make you feel like you are at home, taking care of everything, here details matter and you can notice that since you step inside the property. We are very grateful for everything we had an amazing experience and we can’t wait to come back, thank you so much! Nothing! Everything was perfect!
• Maryanne (9/5): We loved our stay at Elysium. It was a beautiful quiet place to return to after the chaos of street traffic. - Lovely location south of Unawatuna away from tourists. Felt like we had the place to ourselves! Staff were very helpful and nothing was a problem Food was exceptional! Close to turtle beach Couldn’t swim out from of the property or walk much along the beach due to rock walls. Prices in USD. Not great conversion for Australians.
• Brian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melanie (9/5): Serene, comfortable & a beautiful place with excellent food & services! - We were pleased with everything about Elysium. A very well managed property with excellent facilities. Warm & friendly staff who tried their best to make our stay comfortable. Their service was excellent. Thank you Vishan & Chaminda for your services. There was absolutely nothing to complain!
• Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect boutique hotel. Amazing service. Wonderful facilities.
• Marina (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was just outstanding!! Beautiful hotel amazing room very clean and spacious!! The hotel staff are amazing and very helpful! Food was excellent! We had a wonderful time 🌸🌸 Everything was just perfect
• Łukasz (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mohammad (10/5): Private stays at 5 villa state -
• Fivos (10/5): Home away from home - The location, the architecture, the owners and most importantly the staff Everything was great
• Viviana (10/5): Hands down, one of our best stays around the world! - This will be a very difficult review to write as I’m afraid I won’t find the words to describe the amazing stay we had. This is the most beautiful boutique hotel you will find around Galle. Beautiful decor, art, vibe, feel. We were meant to stay 4 nights, ended up staying 7 nights. We preferred to lose the money at a hotel in Bentota, just to come back here for three more nights. We understand this sounds pretentious, however, this place is so good, we felt was the right move to really finish the holiday on a high note. Perhaps the highlight is the service. A one on one superb service. Vishan surely is the most helpful and kind soul out there. Nothing was impossible for him. The chef, the cleaning staff and even the gate staff were amazing. The rooms are gorgeous, clean and very, very spacious. Beautifully decorated. We stayed two nights at a pool room and the rest of the nights at a beach view room (also with pool access). Both were equally amazing, with direct access to the gorgeous infinity pool, handy outdoor shower, comfortable mattress and pillows. The food was amazing, breakfast was superb and abundant. Although the beautiful beach in front of the hotel is not swimmable (lots of coral reef) there are swimmable beaches a few meters away. And the presence of coral reef means seeing the fishermen early in the morning do their special Sri Lankan fishing technique. We would spend all morning and afternoon at the hotel (not wanting to leave) and around 4pm get ready for our Galle fort daily stroll (about 15-20min away by car). Visiting the old Galle city during day time is torturous as the temperatures are super high and super humid. So Galle old town for sunset and dinner every night was a great plan. Plenty of places to go for dinner, plenty of shopping and plenty to walk. We felt secluded, private, cared for, pampered, comfortable…. Such a great stay!
• Jittapa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bret (10/5): A truly beautiful place to stay in that area with an extensive beach walk to the south. - Lovely property with beautifully appointed room and additional outdoor shower. Very friendly and helpful staff, accommodating chef and tasty, quality food. Food prices a bit high.
• Fei (8/5): It’s a very good artistic taste hotel and facilities but staff are not well trained. - When we checked in the staff upgraded our room to ocean view after we asked for that, this lovely hotel has 5 rooms which are spacious and well designed, and has large public spaces for guests to relax and communicate, the buildings and interior are quite comfortable as well as landscape, we really enjoyed because not too much guests there. The breakfast is very tasty and lush. The attitude of staffs are very warm. First night we couldn’t fell into sleep because of mosquitoes, the electronic mosquito killer didn’t work, after 2 hours struggling finally we made our little mosquito net to cover our heads. We asked for slippers and body lotion, the staff who worked at first night gave us two used slippers which was dirty, gave us hand wash instead of body lotion, my husband didn’t check, so he wore the used slippers and put hand wash on his whole body🤣
• Gelana (4/5): Letdown - Had high expectations after reading the other reviews and spending almost $1K for two nights here but was disappointed overall. The beach access was nice and the highlight of our stay. Staff was a bit slow and not very helpful and food was ridiculously expensive and nothing special. There are other cheaper options nearby which are worth a look.
• Jehdeiah (10/5): We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, it was such amazing experience. - Serene, private, great facilities, excellent staff and delicious food.
• Simran (9/5): I will come back for sure to spend atleast a week !! Had a splendid time.. - We loved the privacy without compromising on luxury. The pool as well as the property felt like a private property as we were the only guests at that time. The food is absolutely superb !! Vishal is a great great host and takes care of all your needs very well! The beach directly in front cannot be swam in, you need to walk down a couple of hundred meters to do that.
• Oussama (9/5): Superb -
• Kolushonok (2/5): Very poor -
• Gareth (9/5): Luxury in Paradise - Wonderful staff, elegant decor and extremely peaceful and charming. Would love to see a spa treatment room, hot tub, cold plunge to really make the hotel exceptional, however I'm clutching at straws. Sublime Villa
• Rihards (10/5): A perfect place to lay back, relax and enjoy excellent food. - the property was very clean, the location is excellent, the food and staff were second to none.
• Steven (10/5): a perfect break - very chilled, very private, exceptional staff, great food, clean beach area
• Prabhath (9/5): Superb -
• Devrajan (10/5): - Excellent property, with awesome service staff, 2 👍👍 For them
• Lisa (10/5): Absolutely amazing - We spent 6 nights at the Elysium and were more than happy with this choice. The premises are stylish, spacious and perfectly located on a beach. We arrived on a rainy Saturday and were treated to a complimentary lunch - that set the tone for the rest of the week. Staff was brilliant -especially the chef. They even granted us a late check out at 5.00 pm - free of charge. Many thanks dear Elysium-team for your great work.
• Richard (10/5): Excellent Boutique Hotel - Beautiful boutique hotel on the coast twenty five minutes outside of Galle. Lovely relaxing setting with great views. The service and food were both excellent and the standard of the accommodation very good. Would highly recommend Elysium.
• Masha (8/5): Private, cozy hotel with beautiful garden area - We had one night here and had the place all to ourselves. Our room was excellent with a large king bed and two sets of bunk beds built into the walls. There was also a nice window seat with lots of pillows. There were two bathrooms with showers and two toilets. Also there was an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand. The room was stocked with water bottles. The only complaint about the room was the proximity to the busy/noisy road and train tracks. The walled yard was right off a busy road and there were trains going as well as cars honking early in the morning.
