Guest Reviews

• Yukiko (9/5): 最高でした - とにかく宿のご主人が親切で、何をすれば私達が快適に過ごせるか、常に気を配ってくれていたのが本当にありがたかった。 あとFortに入ってすぐの場所に宿があるので、城壁を出てゴール駅周辺のスーパーや食堂に買い出しに行く時に非常に便利なロケーションでした。 今回はスリランカ周遊旅行で2泊のみと慌しかったけど、今度ゴールにまた行く機会があったら、のんびり一週間ぐらい滞在してみたいです。 ティッシュなどがあると、ありがたかったかも。
• Shreyas (8/5): -
• Lee (9/5): - Family is friendly and kind. Room and bed comfortable, with private patio/seating area. Great location, easy to walk around Galle Fort. Rooms are one floor up and they helped us with our bags. Good value stay. Water sometimes spills out from shower to the floor, aircon not very cold during the day.
• King (10/5): -
• Bilyana (8/5): -
• Erika (7/5): -
• Zhixiang (9/5): A pleasant stay in Galle - The room had all facilities needed for short stays. I spent a night at this guest house and relaxed well. The host was friendly and welcoming. The room I stayed in didn't get too hot at night. I just used the ceiling fan, without keeping the AC on at night. 1. As other guests have noticed, the AC is noisy. But the ceiling fan is powerful enough: you can then turn off the AC. 2. It would be helpful to place a sign at the entrance of the building. 3. The room I stayed in had no access to outside views, although it has a “balcony".
• asg3rd (9/5): Classic -
• Susanne (8/5): -
• Julia (9/5): Komme gerne wieder - Sehr gute Lage. sehr sauber, sehr nette Gastgeber
• Raveen (10/5): -
• Athanasios (10/5): -
• Petr (10/5): Nice rooms directly in Galle Fort - Very nice and clean rooms in a house located directly in Galle Fort. Many restaurants very close to the accommodation. Kind and helpful hosts. Definitely recommend!
• Ann (7/5): Great place to stay on the edge of the fort. Quiet place with lots of restaurants near by. - Location was great. Family were welcoming and were quick to help us with any questions. Room was small but clean. Bed was comfy. Room was a little small with two large cases.
• Julie (8/5): Nice homestay, clean and comfortable. - Nice homestay. Very clean, comfortable bed, with mosquito net. Air conditioning worked well. Good host, who provided us with water in the room every day, lent us an umbrella, and allowed us to leave our luggage. The only downside was not being provided with breakfast
• Lea Bsaibes (9/5): - Very clean bedroom and bathroom. Very friendly family. Great location! Bedroom space was a bit tight. Breakfast could have been included for the price paid.
• Julia (7/5): Gute Lage - - tolle Lage - nette Besitzer - Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht angemessen - zusätzliche Gebühren, die an Anfang nicht ersichtlich waren - geringer Wasserdruck - ein Bett im Zweibettzimmer war durchgelegen
• Valerie (9/5): Excellent location for a few nights. - The location is ideal, within walking distance of everything and the room and bathroom were very clean. The hosts have a beautiful family, are friendly and welcoming. The room is a bit small so I was glad I booked a twin for a single person so I could use the second bed to unpack things.
• vittorio (8/5): - Ottima struttura, posizione centrale ma zona molto tranquilla. Camera pulita e titolare simpatico e disponibile
• Sean (8/5): Great location in the fort - Super great location inside the fort, exceptionally clean room and hosts were kind and even let me keep luggage there after check out. The first floor is more of the host's house so there isn't much space to hang out outside of the rooms which are upstairs.
• Justin (8/5): Lovely, quiet location in Galle - Great location Bathroom gets a bit flooded everything you shower
• Madeleine (10/5): Hele fijne plek om in Fort Galle te verblijven! Goede prijs kwaliteitverhouding, en fijne kamer! - Alles. We hadden een heerlijke comfortabele kamer met een heerlijk bed. De ligging binnen het fort is super, en de mensen van The Entrance Galle Fort zijn heel aardig en behulpzaam Niets, alles was goed en fijn
• Elaine (8/5): Perfect for a short stay in Galle Fort - Perfect location & very friendly hosts. They were so good about allowing us to leave our luggage there for most of the day after we had checked out.
• jade (9/5): -
• Helen (8/5): Good mid-level stay - Quiet location, nice people, comfortable room Loud air-conditioning, weak water pressure in shower, nowhere to sit outside outside the bedroom
• Anu (10/5): - Mukava pieni majatalo Gallen linnoituksen sisällä. Rauhallinen sijainti. Huone oli melko pieni, mutta oikein siisti ja mukava. Kiva että huoneessa oli jääkaappi, vedenkeitin ja hiustenkuivain. Sänky oli mukava, hyvät tyynyt. Omistajat olivat oikein mukavia ja puhuivat hyvin englantia.
• Oliver (10/5): -
• Suthi (9/5): -
• Gabriela (8/5): Wegen der Lage toll, jedoch relativ teuer für das kleine Zimmer. - Ideal gelegen und ruhig. Etwas versteckt, beim Eingang ins Fort. Man bekommt etwas vom Leben der Familie mit. Der gedeckte Balkon war ohne Sicht und könnte gemütlicher sein. Wenig Tageslicht.
• Angelika (8/5): -
• Samuel (10/5): - Very nice accommodation in a convenient area to explore the fort.
• Brendan (9/5): Clifford - Lovely friendly hosts who went out of their way to help us. Spotlessly clean, small but beautifully laid room with everything we needed. Highly recommend. The option to have breakfast would have made it perfect. Otherwise nothing, everything was great.
• Alissa (10/5): - Excellent location, a very well presented place to stay!
• Monika (10/5): Excellent. Will come again - Family was very friendly and helpful. Location is great, just at the fort
• Denis (10/5): Friendly service - Friendly Staff, easy check-in/checkout. Great location.
• Warren (9/5): - The location couldn't have been better. The house was quiet, private and very clean and tidy. The hosts were lovely. Nothing
• Kyros (8/5): - Very good location in a quiet lane near the town entrance. The room was clean but a bit smallish for two people. For single occupancy it is fine. Many shops, a tuktuk stand and a bank (for money exchange) nearby. The AC and the wifi were ok.
• Isis (10/5): -
• Adilya (10/5): - Очень чистенький номер , приятные полотенца, любезные хозяева дома.
• Borja (9/5): - Muy buena localización y familia muy amable
• Joris (9/5): Leuk hotel in het oude centrum - Vriendelijke, behulpzame eigenaren Geen ontbijtmogelijkheden. Maar dat was geen probleem, want er was een heel goede otbijtrestaurant om de hoek.
• Sinan (10/5): Kalenin içinde oldukça konforlu bir oda - Bu konaklama alanı aynı zamanda ev sahiplerinin de yaşadığı bir alan. Üst kattaki odalara evin içinden geçiliyor. Ancak bana verdikleri oda balkondan özel girişi olan bir oda olduğu için çok rahat ettim.
• Vishnusingham (6/5): -
• 李立 (10/5): - 店家服务周到
• Hideo (7/5): 便利 - 場所が最高 家族経営でアットホーム EVが無いのと、支払いが現金のみのところ
• Heli (9/5): -
• Leonardo (9/5): Superb -
• Kelsey (4/5): Great location - No hot water and no water pressure told the owners first day they didn’t care didn’t offer to move us to another room when it came to check out only want money no apology either. Small room had to ask for wifi so please read what the room offers as balcony is a little room not open aired.
• Morgane (9/5): Superb -
• Rachael (9/5): Perfect location, clean room. - Excellent location for ease of walking. We were able to walk everywhere and nothing seemed “too far”. We caught the train to Galle and walked there and it was super easy to get to. The room was as described, bed, bathroom, and tea and water. Air con worked great. Very clean. Hosts were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had.
• Harjani (9/5): Superb - The rooms were clean and spacious. Very good location. The host family is very caring.
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Abid (9/5): Superb -
• Mateusz (10/5): Hotel Galle - Very clean rooms with nice toilets. Location kf this hotel is so great in the fort so you have a lot of shops and restaursnts around.
• Nic (9/5): Superb - Good value for money, the owners were very accomodating - allowed early check in and took care of a load of washing for me with nothing but a smile. Great location in the entrance to fort to access everything and be able to go easily outside the fort. Aircon, fan and water all worked well and clean. Large bottles of water in fridge - winning!
• Ignacio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fabian (10/5): Perfect stay in an elegant family hotel - Everything - very clean, classy and cozy! And the hosts were really helpful and very friendly! All great!
• Kinlay (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful little room in an ideal location, tucked away just off the main street. The bed was too hard for us, we know we're unusual in liking a softer bed, but this was super hard.
• Charlie (10/5): Very nice - Very clean and tidy. Friendly family who runs the accomodation. Excellent location. Good value for money.
• Jade (10/5): Kind family-run hotel in an amazing location - Amazing location. Very comfortable stay. The rooms are very clean and the family that run the hotel are so sweet and kind. Would definitely stay again!
• James (10/5): Brilliant accommodation. Wonderful owner. Beautiful town. - Our flight had been delayed and then cancelled. We arrived at very antisocial hours, but the hotel owner was there to assist with locating the hotel, and helped us settle in. The location was also amazing. The host helped us secure transport the next day, and was on hand to help us with bag storage and late checkout.
• Franziska (7/5): Friendly staff - Nice location
• Lydia (9/5): Superb -
• Mohit (10/5): Peaceful, clean & conveniently located - Very conveniently located. Kind and hospitable hosts. Comfortable beds with clean rooms, bathroom and lobby area. Feels like a home stay with a very helpful family. Helped us book a tuk tuk for our onward travel. Family has many cats which is an added bonus!
• Leonie (6/5): Pleasant and comfortable. - Good location, quiet. Friendly family run establishment. Bed was comfortable. Lots of bottled water and fridge in the room. Air-conditioning very good. Pleasant communal area. Shower pressure and heat varying. Shower closet small and floor quite slippery. Room was small. Balcony is really a sheltered smoking area with no outlook.
• Jessica (8/5): Very good -
• Nathalie (10/5): Exceptional - This property, located within the historic area of Galle, was very comfortable. A friendly welcome upon arrival with very neat and clean room. N/A
• Charles (8/5): Very good -
• Adam (10/5): Exceptional - Nice family. The location was great and the room was very nice and clean.
• Susan (9/5): Lovely place perfect location - The lovely hosts were very warm and welcoming and not intrusive. Beds very comfortable and our room had a small outdoor enclosed balcony/seating area. Bathroom very modern. Spotlessly clean. Unbeatable location and value for price. There's no breakfast but nearby are many choices of eateries. Would definitely recommend staying here. Booking.com shouldn't use the words "total price" but then in the pricing information (you have to click on) show that actually you have to add tax. It should not be hidden but include "total price plus taxes".
• Lea32tochka (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ricardo (10/5): Exceptional - Great location in the Galle fort. The property was great and you could see small details from the colonial era. The room was of a decent size and clean. The bathroom was nice but the shower leaks a small amount of water. The rooom had all the amenities we needed and it was nice and cool during the heat. The property had a nice balcony in the common area Very comfy bed wirh a nice fan and ac to beat the heat. The hosts are great - they were always ready to help us and it was nice to see it was a family owned place with their kids playing around. One thing to note - the street to the property is narrow so if you're coming with a car remember to stop on the main road.
• Glenn (10/5): Clean and comfortable - Very clean room. Wonderful bed. Crisp white sheets, nice pillows. Great location within the city wall. Quiet. Run by a very nice family I loved everything about this place. The cleanest room my whole trip.
• Prabhat (5/5): Not a place to stay no breakfast facility as and room rents are high - So so No
• Olly (8/5): Very good -
• Dimitrios (9/5): Great location - the location was 10/10. It was very clean and comfortable. I was working remotely and the desk was decent. Kettle with tea available helped. WiFi was stable I was staying on the ground floor and the kids were always playing just outside my door basically and as I was working this wasn't helpful.
• Maria (8/5): Quiet and decent stay - Away from the hustle and bustle and noise. Air conditioning is good, storage and stowage facilities in the room, everything very clean. Friendly owner. The rooms are generally really good, but surprisingly dark. The advertised balcony offers no view whatsoever. Our bathroom door didn't close. No breakfast option in the guest house but cafes and restaurants are nearby.
• David (8/5): Fantastic Galle is one of the best places I have visited - The location is amazing within walking distance to every where inside the fort Tuk tuks banks and great restaurants nearby They even did my washing for free Room quite small but still value for the price
• Susan (8/5): Very good - Great location right by the fort entrance There were some water/ power outages- these were across the town. However plenty of bottle water was provided.
• Kushali (9/5): Superb -
• Charles (8/5): Very good - Location, cleanliness, friendly family owners Water pressure for hot water in the shower, very low
• Ayanthi (9/5): Superb - Location, very keen. All amenities were available.
• Trix (10/5): Friendly and clean - What i liked the most were the friendly people and the cleanliness 😄 there was always some family member around the house to answer all my questions -
• Prince (7/5): Pleasant - The room was well maintained, comfortable and clean. Everything worked as it should. It was quiet and close to everything in the fort. The immediate lane is a bit narrow so cars can’t really drop you off directly at the guest house but it wasn’t a big issue for me. It’s a pity there are no English speaking staff available most of the time. communication is difficult.
• Dean (9/5): Superb - Spotlessly clean, perfectly located family owned guesthouse just inside the entrance to the Fort. 200m from the cricket ground and a short walk to restaurants. I arrived at 2am and Ravi met me without complaint.
• Thomas (10/5): Fantastic. Would stay again. - The owners
• Alessandra (9/5): Superb - Clean, closed shower, water and kettle available,little common area available and cute little balcony, hairdryer!!! Room for 2 persons will be too small, for me alone was just right The owner was not there when I left but I think he was just busy, very nice person, italian speaking
• Thea (10/5): Three-day visit at the old Dutch fort in Galle, full of character and a friendly atmosphere! - Nice family, very helpful and always smiling :-)
• Helen (8/5): Very good - Great location inside the fort and close to restaurants etc The room was small and dark with poor water pressure … not that that spoilt our stay. Note that there is no name on the outside of the building, so a little hard to find.
• Emily (9/5): Tucked away but do not dismiss! - Comfortable, clean room. One of a few rooms above the owners' own accommodation. Friendly welcome. Very handy for Galle train station and the cricket ground. Easy to access everything within Galle Fort too. It is a little hard to find, even for local tuk tuk drivers. However, it is easy once you know. It's behind the art cafe in Lighthouse Street, just a few meters from the mini roundabout as you enter the fort area.
• Lia (8/5): Value for money, very nice hosts! - The location is excellent, you can walk easy around the Fort and hosts were polite and helpful. they gave us free water for each day and also changed room because we requested higher floor. in general we would book it again! the pressure of the water shower is weak.
• Claire (9/5): A great place to stay in Galle Fort. - A lovely family run Guest house. My room was a good size and very clean and well maintained. It’s in a great location, handy for everything. The family are all very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend.
• Vindhya (10/5): This has everything you need to for a perfect stay - Property offers a friendly and welcoming host, a convenient location, spotless cleanliness, a safe environment, and the charm of being a brand-new property. Would be nice if the water pressure is little higher.
• Mark (9/5): Very good location, quiet & clean & helpful owners - Very friendly, helpful owners and nice clean quiet room in a good location Shower was a bit weak
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely host, quite location, near to restaurants, bars and so on, we booked one extra night without any problems, very good choise to book this appartment Water flues out of the shower, but because of the temperature everything was dry after some time :)
• Jennifer (6/5): A reasonable home stay in a popular area - No breakfast included. The room was ok for the price though not cheap. A very pleasant welcome from the owner The bathroom needs some refurbishment and the shower was cold and with a slow flow. The bed is against the wall so no bedside light of table.
• Claude (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and comfy
• John (9/5): Superb - If you’re going to Galle, the only thing to do is stay inside the Fort walls and this little gem is perfect. Top value for money, spotlessly clean, friendly family-run place. Best breakfast place EVER (Kixi) just across the road. Walking distance to everything. Small rooms but hey in Galle you’re not spending time in your room
• Freek (8/5): Great location and even better service by the host. - True to its name it is located close to the entrance of the old fort. Besides location the hospitality and support of the hosts is unrivalled. Homestay ambiance. There are not really things that we didn't like about the place. Our car was parked 2 minutes away? The rooms might have been just a little bit larger?
• Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, easy to walk to everywhere. The staff were great and very helpful.
