After a month traveling in Sri Lanka, this has been the best place we have stayed. Located in a quiet place, The house is very big and beautiful. Both the room and the bathroom are huge. The bed is big and very comfortable. Everything was super clean. Ashan and his family are lovely, they helped us and gave us information of what we needed. The breakfast was plentiful and varied (every day we tried different dishes). I totally recommend this stay if you come to Galle (the city is 15 minutes by tuktuk).

The best house I've stayed in during my 12-day trip to Sri Lanka! Asintha and his wife made it a home for me and my friends. I wish I could have stayed there for at least a week. Thank you, Asintha! I'll choose to stay in Villa Emma again when I visit Galle next time.

It’s a very calm and clean accommodation in a nice green neighbourhood. The family is just lovely and makes you feel very welcome. We liked that it’s not located in the crowded fort but in easily walking distance. Despite the other comments it was super easy to find with google maps. The room was very comfortable, huge nice bed and a strong AC, we had the bathroom downstairs but it was not problem at all. We had the best breakfast in a month there (omelette, banana pancakes, coconut roti, fruit …). We would definitely recommend this place!

Great location. The room was not large but adequate for us. The breakfast was wonderful. Fresh fruit omelet, toast, yogurt, and juice. Pool was an added bonus before breakfast and on return from day out. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. With only 4 rooms it is not crowded. 100% would stay again

We stayed here for 4 nights and we loved it. The place does not pretend anything, it has a bed, it has a beach and it has the most beautiful sunset view. Indika is very friendly and helpful. He organized for us even the meal twice a day. We truly recommend the stay at Indika Beach Villa! Martin and Veronika

Amazing stay. The lovely woman will do everything for you to give you the best stay! She made amazing food, she did our laundry, very good and clean room, she got us some drinks on arrival and she is very nice to talk with. Look no further and book this lovely homestay! With the warmth of the year right now we would recommend you book with AC, we didn’t do that and we got very hot!

    Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.
