We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ema — one of the most beautiful places we stayed at during our trip through Sri Lanka. It’s a true oasis of peace where the only sounds you hear are birds chirping — absolutely fantastic! The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and easy to reach via WhatsApp. They were always helpful and attentive. We highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Sri Lanka and looking for a stay in the Galle area!

From the moment you arrive you are made to feel very very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. The place is extremely clean and well cared for. The home cooked breakfasts are something else. Local cuisine made traditionally. Some of the best food I have had. One of the best places I have ever stayed at. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone travelling to Galle.

Indika was a great host. Very accommodating and helpful with suggestions and timing of ventures especially with it being off season. We had the family room which felt like our own house. Two lofts and a main area and lots of bed space for the family. We wished we stayed longer here. The view and the sound of the waves made for the most peaceful sleep.

This was my first home stay and it did not disappoint. Aroshina and her family were so kind and accommodating, making me feel so comfortable. The location is close to Galle. They have a tuk tuk and were happy to offer lifts as needed. The cooking course was also well worth doing. We cooked an array of local dishes, even making our own coconut milk.

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.

Indiko and Shadow (the dog) are great hosts. Indiko takes good care of you and likes to tell you more about his live and living at the beach near Galle. Galle is 10 minutes by tuktuk. The food in the homestay is great.
