- Jeeva DM (9/5): - I stayed one night at Arken Lanka Hotel in Galle with my family, including kids, and overall it was a pleasant experience.
The location is convenient and quiet, making it suitable for a relaxed family stay. The hotel environment felt safe, which is important when traveling with children. The rooms were clean and reasonably comfortable for a short stay, with enough space for a small family.
The staff were friendly and helpful

- Agata (10/5): - Very good conditions at an affordable price. Breakfast prepared with fruit from our own garden. Excellent location, 100 meters from the ocean. Great location. I recommend it. No hot water in the shower. Fortunately, it wasn't cold, so it was ok.
- Jakob (10/5): -
- Abeykoon (8/5): - Room and cleanness is very good. Distance to the town is ok. Around 1km we can reach. View of that room also super cool. Breakfast is not good and they didn't serve us cutlery and butter for the bread also. They served other couples with those things and also felt like some discomfort because of how they treated us. And room 08 bathroom fittings are not working properly.

Die Familie war super lieb, sehr gesprächig und unfassbar nett. Man konnte sich sehr gut mit ihnen Unterhalten und Tipps bekommen. Das anwesen ist schön und hat einen guten Ausblick in die Natur. Das Highlight war das Frühstück! Hervorragendes Frühstück, einheimische Küche sowie Toast mir Marmelade und Eiern. Ein riesen Angebot, auch an Früchten und alles hat super lecker geschmeckt.

- Vishwa0416 (1/5): DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE!! - There was a cute dog, at least. I have stayed in a number of hotels in Sri Lanka. Sadly, I can say that without a doubt, THIS IS THE WORST HOTEL I'VE EVER BEEN TO. You may ask why, and where should I start? The breakfast was included in my package. I was so excited for a warm, delicious breakfast. But no one offered us anything. I tried to call their numbers, but they were turned off. I messaged them on Booking.com and also on WhatsApp, but no one ever replied. I think anyone can understand my disappointment.
We paid around $15 per day, and got a teeny tiny room — barely enough space to even move. And the bathroom. The toilet was broken and there was no toilet paper. It was like a pile of garbage. I've never thought bathrooms could smell that bad. Total nightmare!!
The furniture in the room was so overused. It needs a total repair. My advice to you, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT VISITING THIS PLACE. YOU WILL REGRET. Finally, if you are the management of this place, please treat your guests with RESPECT!!!
