We had a great stay at Arazo Villa. Manori and her son Masanjana made us feel truly welcome. We stayed for two nights and it was great. Manori was always there for us if we needed anything. Also, Masanjana drove us to the city of Galle for a visit and he picked us up again a few hours later. Breakfast was also great, including bananas from their own garden. We definitely recommend this place!

Located in Galle in the Galle District Region and featuring a pool, 3.1 km from Galle Light house, Abundia Home Stay boasts a barbecue and views of the lake. Free WiFi is provided and free private parking is available on site.

We absolutely loved our stay. The host was amazing and all the staff were friendly and willing to help with anything. The rooms were comfortable with lovely seating outside. The pool was great, clean and a perfect temperature. It's as if Abundia was built above a well of positive energy! We felt so safe, relaxed and taken care of the minute we arrived. The beds were comfy with lovely pillows, and the room was spacious with fridge, kettle and even chopping board and knife for fruit. Highly recommend staying here!

Jungle Beach is 1.8 km from Hiru Resort Inn Unawatuna, while Galle International Cricket Stadium is 6.7 km away. The nearest airport is Koggala, 9 km from the guest house, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

The place was very clean and well maintained. It was located around 10min walk from the beach, in a jungle. The only problem was very bad reception and super slow WiFi, but if you sat closer to the router it worked well. The typical breakfast of eggs, toast and fruits was included. The hosts were amazing, they upgraded our room without additional payment. What is more, they helped me when I needed charger after mine broke.

Sam’s Guest House is located in Galle just 3.8 km from the historical Galle Light House. Rooms are clean, comfortable and cooled with either air conditioning or a fan. This affordable accommodation also provides guests with free WiFi access.

Everything was perfect. Staff was very welcoming. We have got free drinks upon arrival, pancakes with tea and bye-bye gifts during our stay. We had room with air conditioning and private balcony for around 38$ per night which was definitely worth the price paid. Due to trees you couldn’t see the sea. Private fridge-freezer in the room as well. Nice and comfortable bed and bedding. There was one nice window to the garden view also. Room was much better than we expected by pictures. We had all kitchen equipment, tea, coffee, sugar in the room. We have got extra beach towels which was changed every day. Great constant hot water. I am very fussy but could not found any cons. Definitely recommend if visiting Unawatuna. Beach just across the road, 1 minute walk. Place is safe as well because equipped with cameras and safe for money in the room.

    Nil is a great host. Friendly, generous and always there when you need help. He also makes great breakfast! The butterfly jewel is located on a quiet street, but still just a few minute walk to the beach and buzz of Unawatuna. We truly enjoyed the house porch and outdoor kitchen where we could relax with a cup of tea in the shade.

    Great location, incredible ocean view. Nearby there is a grocery store, a cafe, a beach with turtles. You can also drive 10-15 minutes to the main beach. Friendly host, checked us in earlier than the marked time and helped with any questions. Breakfast was always fresh fruit, smoothies/coconut and scrambled eggs/sandwiches.
