Guest Reviews
- Frances (6/5): - Das Interieur entspricht den Bildern und das Zimmer ist sehr nett eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war ebenso vielfältig und lecker. Das Personal (besonders Fayas - unser Held) ist sehr hilfsbereit und bei Problemen sofort für den Gast da. Wir hatten keine ruhigen Nächte, da wir mehrfach Kakerlaken im Zimmer auffinden mussten. Daraufhin wurden wir in ein gleichklassiges Hotel umgebucht. Wenn man die Kakerlakenproblematik nicht hat, wäre es sicherlich ein sehr toller Aufenthalt.
- SATOSHI (8/5): - 朝食、シャワーの水圧、部屋の可愛さ 小さな細かいありが多かった
- Anupama (10/5): -
- Paul (10/5): Awesome location, lovely home cooked breakfast, super comfortable rooms (and beds). Just perfect for a family of 5! - We were right in the middle of the main old town. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the breakfast was home cooked and perfect and the beds and rooms were super comfortable. As a family of 5 we couldn’t have asked for any more. It was absolutely first class. N/A
- Meike (10/5): Heerlijk verblijf op mooie locatie! - Een prachtige plek midden in Galle. De kamer was ruim en koel en er werd een extra matras voor onze zoon geregeld. De gastheer en gastvrouw waren behulpzaam zonder opdringerig te zijn. Het ontbijt was heerlijk en vers en er werd een hele fijne taxi voor ons geregeld naar de volgende bestemming. Een aanrader voor een verblijf in Galle.
- onaiza (7/5): Overall, enjoyed the stay and area! - This is a Dutch home converted into a lovely hotel, located within the historic Galle Fort. It is central with a variety of great restaurants, shops and magnificent view of the sunset. The hotel had a very cosy home feel. The local breakfast was good and served in the Dutch home next door. Access to the hotel is through an extremely narrow street and since there is no sign outside the hotel, it is a bit difficult to identify. Availability of the host was also limited.
- Erica (6/5): Close to town but not worth the extra cost. - The room was in a beautiful colonial house with a lovely breakfast served. The staff were friendly and were there to help anytime we needed. Like a few other guests mentioned, when we arrived, the staff said our room wasn't available because the electrician wasn't picking up his phone. After reading other reviews it seems common that they change your room from one hotel to the other. It would have been fine if they could have messaged and let me know beforehand. They made it seem like a last minute change when it wasn't based on other reviews. The room ac was weak (it's really hot in galle in April).
- David (9/5): Lovely period property - Beautiful charming period property right in the middle of the fort. Good staff, clean rooms and lovely breakfast
- Trevitt (8/5): -
- Lorna (9/5): - Great location, quiet First night’s accomodation in the downstairs room was poor. It was stuffy and the bed VERY uncomfortable. The next 2 nights we were in an upstairs room which was much nicer and the bed comfortable.
- Samarpan (10/5): Home away from home in the heart of Galle’s Fort Area - Beautiful property in the heart of the Dutch Fort at Galle near the vibrant Peddler’s Street. The staff are very hospitable and the property was very clean and peaceful. The delicious breakfast served was sumptuous and full of local flavors. The manager, Rumeshika communicated very clearly with us over messages and was able to provide us with great recommendations for local food and shopping. She was also very helpful in arranging a trusted and comfortable cab drop to Colombo airport since we had an early morning flight out of Colombo.
- sandrine (8/5): -
- Yvonne (9/5): - Lovely place! Helpful staff and great location.
- Ann (9/5): Perfect - Very welcoming staff. Nice quiet location but close to all the shopping and restaurants. Good A/C and fans Nice breakfast. They accommodated our early check out and arranged an airport taxi
- Eleonora (3/5): No water, no apology - Lovely decor. Comfy beds. Firstly, we were asked to pay upfront — which seemed unusual at the time, but after what followed, it made sense. We had originally booked Small House Boutique but were instead given a room at Parawa House next door (same owner, we believe). We were told it was an “upgrade,” however after checking both properties, this didn’t appear to be the case — Parawa House has a lower rating (8.8) compared to Small House (9.1). The rooms looked similar, so we chose not to make an issue of it. After a long day out, we returned looking forward to a shower before dinner — only to find there was no water. This was especially frustrating as staff had seen us enter and failed to mention any issue. We went downstairs and were told it would be fixed in 15 minutes. After 30 minutes, there was still no water. We requested a refund, which was refused. We then asked to be moved to another hotel and were told we would need to book elsewhere ourselves and then be refunded — a process we understandably did not trust. When we asked to speak to the owner/manager, he was extremely rude. There was no apology or explanation. Instead, he questioned whether we were American, Russian, or German because we were “so demanding.” Apparently, expecting access to water is considered unreasonable. Eventually, after an hour, the water returned. However, there was no hot water the following morning. After reading other reviews, it’s clear this is not an isolated incident — there appears to be a consistent pattern of both water issues and poor management behaviour. I would strongly recommend avoiding this property. There are plenty of other lovely places to stay that offer both basic amenities and respectful service.
- David (10/5): - Staff were great, breakfast excellent, lovely room, gorgeous balcony - couldnt have been better
- Ans (10/5): Mooi boutique hotel erg mooi ingericht op centrale plek. - Erg mooi boutique hotel op centrale plek in Galle. Het hotel heeft een erge mooie styling. Wij hadden 2 kamers met vrienden. En hadden daar een soort privé buitenkamer/terras bij. Erg leuk en luxe gevoel. De bedden waren heerlijk en een warme douche. Het ontbijt wordt op het terras geserveerd en is uitgebreid en zalig.
- Pascale (9/5): - L'emplacement de cette maison d'hôtes est au calme et en plein centre. Equipe sympathique, belle décoration, petit-déjeuner très agréable. Bien que les serviettes de bain étaient propres, elles étaient usagées et comportaient d'anciennes taches. J'en ai obtenu d'autres mais dans le même état.
- Ross (10/5): -
- Timo (6/5): - Maan tasolla oleva huoneemme oli erittäin pieni ja pimeä.
- Tatjana (9/5): - Sehr schöne, individuelle Einrichtung in perfekter Lage in Galle Fort -
- Rebecca (10/5): - A beautiful property in Galle's old town, down a quiet little lane and close to everything. The breakfasts were fantastic. Our bedroom and bathroom were very spacious.
- Marsha (9/5): -
- Consett (10/5): -
- julie (9/5): Au cœur du fort - Super localisation en plein centre et calme la nuit Maison décorée avec soin et personnel agréable La chambre réservée n’était plus disponible à notre arrivée, ils nous ont installé dans un autre de leurs logements - la chambre était bien mais j’aurais apprécié être informée en amont de ce changement Prévoir d’ajouter un petit frigo dans la chambre
- Thomas (10/5): -
- SASUKE (10/5): 良かった！！ - 立地と清潔感 蚊がいる
- Martina (8/5): - Great location in the centre of Galle, friendly staff, clean room, good condition. The photos look a little better than reality for that price.
- Katherine (8/5): - Location, the breakfast in the morning. The property was also very cute There were some tiny ants in our room but nothing crazy
- J (10/5): If I could score this place 6 out of 5 I would - What a lovely place and full of character!! We stayed in a deluxe double which was just beautiful. I celebrated my 60th birthday during our stay and they made me feel very special. Excellent service, great breakfast and perfect location. I would highly recommend the Small House Boutique. Nothing. Everything was perfect.
- Karin (10/5): Séjour de charme dans la jolie Galle coloniale - Un lieu intime , élégant et exclusif avec un accueil exceptionnel !!! On a aimé les petites attentions permanentes et les sourires de tout le personnel . Les petits déjeuners sont excellents et préparés avec soin . L’emplacement est juste … idéal !!! Rien
- Peggy Sue (9/5): Sweet little B&B on a quiet lane inside the Fort. - Good breakfast & comfortable rooms. Staff very responsive and overall professional. Very close to restaurants, shopping, and the water. Easy to catch a Tuktuk from here when you want to go farther out. Did a bit of swimming in the ocean just on the other side of the fort wall. Tiny little ‘beach’ area, but very clean, clear water. Only 1 block from hotel. Very much enjoyed our stay and would return. At one point the owner was berating a young staff member during breakfast. The young man handled it well, but the owner made me uncomfortable with his attitude toward his staff.
- Susan (9/5): Great location, quiet street, lovely breakfasts - The managers were very nice, friendly and quiet, helpful.
- Abeera (10/5): - The hotel is located in Galle Fort which was convenient to.walk around to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and attentive. Their breakfast was great. There were little bugs in the washroom. The staff made sure to frequently clean the rooms to address this issue.
- Carolina (9/5): Tutto carino - Struttura pulita e super centrale, bella e accogliente. Camera non grandissima ma accogliente. Prezzo un po elevato.
- Tom (6/5): - Property was well located , although we felt that most areas within the fort would be nice and feel safe enough to stay. Our host was very kind and polite and allowed us an early check in. She also left us fruit in the morning due to our early checkout. The room itself was generally clean, however the bed sheets, duvet and towels were all quite heavily stained. The room was also quite heavily infested with mosquitoes
- Reimo (8/5): Bleach your linen please - Breakfast was delicious local food. Linen had a few blood spots on them that suggested bedbugs but luckily there were none.
- Thimathi (10/5): -
- Alina (9/5): -
- Akshay (9/5): Good budget property in the heart of Galle - The location was good, in the heart of the city. Also the room we got had a sea view and was spacious with a tall roof and a huge balcony. And the room was also clean. The breakfast was limited but healthy and tasty.
- Thomas M (10/5): Loved the charming room, delicious breakfast, and wonderful staff! - The staff was extremely kind, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast was a delicious mix of western and Sri Lanka food. The room and surrounding area was very open, spacious, and comfortable. The building is a wonderful historic structure that has been tastefully restored. The location was perfect for exploring Galle Fort, including attractions, coffee shops, stores and restaurants
- Mikko (8/5): - Erittäin hyvä aamiainen Emme saaneet varaamamme huonetta vaan pienemmän
- NIRAJ NARENDRA (10/5): - Everything is absolutely wonderful. Everything is good
- Clara (10/5): -
- Adam (7/5): Couple stay on Sri Lankan trip - Location is great, staff is friendly. Room is really small and unfortunately not really clean. Bathroom is large but also could be much cleaner. WiFi works really bad.
- Helen (9/5): Central located stylish boutique hotel with warm and helpful staff. - Rumeshika greeted us with friendliness and warmth after a long day of travelling. The room was lovely with adapter plugs in the rooms which was great as we had bought specific sri lankan adaptors where as british plugs would have been fine. We had a minor problem with the water pressure as soon as we mentioned it the staff were very quick to sort it out. The breakfasts were varied and delicious...hoppers were amazing and the banana pancakes with honey. Nothing was too much trouble and its located beside Pedlars street which is in the centre of Galle fort so accessible on foot within the fort. A very comfortable large bed with air con and a ceiling fan which made for a great night's sleep. Nothing, it was superb.
- William (9/5): A safe, friendly, comfortable stay - The staff were friendly, approachable, and very helpful. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The shower had good water pressure. Breakfast was generous and interesting, with different Sri Lankan specialities each day and great coffee. We felt cared for. The location was excellent, in the fort, walking distance to everything (including a nice pocket beach) but on a quiet street, away from the busier areas. Nothing.
- Anastasia (9/5): Beautiful building in the centre of Galle - The building is historical in the old centre. The room is really beautiful and spacious. Staff very friendly. The towels in the bathroom need to be replaced and a mosquito net would be good.
- Peter (10/5): traumhaft - Terrasse and big bett matrimoniale, central to all restaurants, quite war alles perfekt
- Sarah (8/5): Great - The location is perfect. Rooms are very tidy and comfortable A bit expensive
- m (10/5): -
- Kornelia (9/5): Gorgeous stay right in the centre of Galle - We loved the decor in the property, the room was super comfortable and clean and the breakfast was exceptional every morning. Loved that there was a bit of variety at breakfast and we could try local food, and the staff there were so friendly and accommodating. Also great to be right in the middle of Galle to explore from. Pre-arrival communication and some signage would be helpful to know you’re in the right place.
- Sanjana Subramanian (9/5): - The location is excellent, right in the middle of the Fort. Lighthouse is 5 mins walk, all cool cafes and restaurants are 2-10 mins by walk. The rooms were comfortable, great bathroom.The manager is lovely The staff are lovely but cannot understand English at all, seeing its a tourist place, basic understanding would go a long way. The bed in our room was super creaky. Breakfast, although great, is very limited
- Laurence (9/5): Galllllleee - Great accomodation. Comfortable, spacious and quiet. Breakfast was excellent both mornings. Absolutely no complaints or worries Nothing
- Mélanie (9/5): Superbe emplacement - incroyable petit déjeuner! - Petit déjeuner exceptionnel. Gentillesse de la propriétaire et des jeunes qui l’entourent. Emplacement tout simplement parfait au cœur de Galle. Idéal poir découvrir, promener et même courir le matin. Super attentionné et bon service. Quelques fourmis dans la chambre. Chambre assez vieille avec petite fuite dans la salle de bain du à des pluies exceptionnelles, nous semblions être dans un bâtiment qu’ils rénovent.
- Michael (10/5): - Great location. The room was bright, clean and comfortable with a balcony.
- Constance (10/5): A relaxing stay at the heart of the fort. - Historic building, central location, wonderful breakfast. Staff were welcoming, efficient and professional. Wonderful room with own patio and four poster bed. Couldn’t ask for more. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Nothing
- Karen (9/5): Wonderful - Beautiful old home with exceptionally kind staff.
- Francisco (9/5): - Pretty good location, manager helped us get transport back to Colombo. the rooms and building were very nice and the breakfast was one of the best i had in Sri Lanka. When we arrived, we led to believe the hotel was fully booked and they'd take us to another hotel that was nearby. It was basically next door and the room looked exactly like the one we booked. It was probably a miscommunication from the night shift employees and it was all part of the same hotel, just not in the "main" building.
- Chandreyee (9/5): -
- Hugo (10/5): -
- Liam (10/5): Beautifully designed base for Galle Fort - Great central location on the Forte. Super easy to check-in, all the staff were super attentive. Perfect for our one night in Galle. Clean with a beautiful interior. Nothing would happily stay again and recommend to friends.
- Thushara (10/5): A beautiful, cosy, elegant boutique hotel with a warm service - The property in the heart of Galle Fort is cosy, beautiful, so elegantly furnished preserving the old architectural style of the historic Dutch Fort. The staff were so kind and welcoming going above and beyond. The owner was also so kind to offer us a room after checkout so my daughter could rest as she was feeling unwell. We lived our stay and th picture don’t do enough justice to how gorgeous the place actually is. It was perfect!
- Prof. Michael (10/5): Sehr ruhiger und angenehmer Aufenthalt - Die Unterkunft (zwei nebeneinander liegende Häuser) liegt sehr ruhig in einer kleinen Gasse mit nahezu keinem Verkehr und bietet einen unmittelbaren Zugang um das Fort zu erkunden. Wir waren 3 Tage im zweiten Haus im ersten Stock und fanden ein absolut sauberes Zimmer mit einem sehr gemütlichen Bett vor. Auf der Terrasse konnten wir entspannt einen Tee genießen und lesen. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und lecker (endlich mal warme! Banana-pancakes ;-) ). Ist der Preis für Sri Lanka durchaus ambitioniert, so würden wir in Galle (welches insgesamt mit ziemlich überteuerten Preisen heraussticht) diese Unterkunft erneut buchen. Preislich etwas hoch gegriffen. Ein Mückennetz wäre durchaus angebracht. Wir haben unseres genutzt.
- Jaroslava (10/5): - Krasny butiq hotel, citlive upraveny, mili majitele, výborná snidane
- Roger (2/5): Nicht empfehlenswert, Fotos entsprechen nicht den Tatsachen - Netter Empfang Die Bilder entsprechen nicht den Tatsachen. Die Zimmer haben einen ganz anderen Standard und sind bereits sehr abgelebt. Die Bettlaken haben so gestunken, dass wir uns entschieden haben ein neues Hotel zu buchen. Auf keinen Fall empfehlenswert.
- OCM (9/5): -
- Long (10/5): Beautiful place like no other! - The most characterful and beautiful place we have stayed in Sri Lanka! Great location inside of the fort which is where most things are to do in Galle! Breakfast was great with delicious juices and the room was very comfortable and clean
- Marike (10/5): Leuk hotel en ideale ligging. - Wat een ontzettend leuk hotel. Ligt ideaal midden in Galle Fort. Heerlijk ontbijt en prima kamers.
- Annika (9/5): -
- Jorine (10/5): Aanrader, heerlijk verblijf gehad! - Pareltje in het ford van Galle. Erg fijne en ruime kamer. Goed werkende airco, heerlijke bedden en een goede douche. Ontbijt ‘s ochtends is goed verzorgt en je kan je tassen eerder brengen of later ophalen als je de buurt nog wil ontdekken. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel!
- Lia (9/5): Perfekte Lage um das Gelle Fort zu geniessen - Die Lage ist wirklich super man ist zu Fuss in Läden und vielen Cafes und Restaurants. Das Personal war unglaublich nett und das Frühstück war extrem lecker (es gab nicht jeden Tag das gleiche was wir super fanden und es war lokal was uns auch sehr gefiel!). Zudem war es in der Nacht sehr ruhig was sehr angenehm war. Das Bad war etwas in die Jahre gekommen, man zahlt den Preis für die super Lage
- Santanu (10/5): Stay at delux queen room - The location is great and the staff are super sweet. They have really clean rooms, I would recommend people to stay here. Their breakfast was very wholesome and felt like was having homely cooked food.
- Lluis (8/5): Un oasi dins la bogeria de Galle - Tot l'espai és com una joia per desconnectar de la ciutat. És ample, fresc, silenciós, amb ombra, i sobretot net. L'estil i el mobiliari és clàssic i modern alhora. El personal és super amable. I l'esmorzar és excel·lent. Vaig tenir problemes per dormir, perquè els llits són curts i acabats amb planxa de fusta. M'havia acostumat a tenir els peus penjant dels matalassos durant el viatge.

- Francesca Mariposa (10/5): - Piccolo albergo situato in una strada molto tranquilla in pieno centro storico. Bellissima struttura in una casa coloniale ben ristrutturata e arredata. Camera spaziosa, ben accessoriata, pulitissima, con una grande veranda. Staff gentilissimo e disponibile. Degna di nota la colazione, abbondante e di ottima qualità. Noi siamo stati molto bene e lo consiglio a tutti!

- Kousmanda (10/5): - I had a wonderful stay at Small House Boutique Guest House in Galle. The place is absolutely charming — a cute, cozy house with beautiful décor and such a peaceful vibe. The room was spotless, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. A special thank you to Rumeshika, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Her warmth and care truly made my stay memorable. Breakfast was delicious, and the location is perfect — right in the heart of Galle Fort yet so calm and quiet. Thank you for the hospitality and comfort — it was a lovely experience that I’ll always remember. Highly recommended! 💛
- Ina (8/5): Kleines Hotel in guter Lage - Gute Lage, aber dennoch ruhig. Das Gästegaus ist sehr hübsch, es hängt Kunst an den Wänden, das Frühstück ist sehr gut, die Menschen dort sind freundlich und herzlich.
- Ariadna (9/5): Bonito - Está localizado en buena zona. No hay ruido por las noches. La habitación es limpia y acogedora. El desayuno es contundente y de estilo europeo Solo hay escaleras para subir a las habitaciones de arriba Si pagas con tarjeta te cobran el 3% Las ventanas no tienen cristal así que el aire y los mosquitos se cuelan por las contraventanas. Si 2 huéspedes en habitaciones diferentes se están duchando a la vez olvídate del agua caliente por lo menos en 30 mins.
