I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the hotel. It is well designed and the staff was very friendly. The room & bathroom were really clean and comfortable. I also felt really safe there which is a big deal for a solo female traveler. They were even good enough to offer to keep my bags with them until I finished some work in Galle after I checked out. Really thoughtful of them! They kept my bags safe and sound until I returned later that day to collect my bags. They even returned some earrings that I had unknowingly left in my room :)

ArtNEST is more than just a hotel, as you'll be staying in a space that's filled with art and lots of character. The common spaces serve as a cafe/art studio/gallery and are filled with paintings, prints and books. If you like surrounding yourself with colorful art inspiration, this is the place for you! The rooms are simple but clean, comfy (including a duvet as bedding, which is rare in Sri Lanka) and very thoughtfully decorated. Sandeepa is a lovely host - he showed us around the fort, shared pictures he took during the tour he gave, and was always quick with replying to any questions I had. And Yunee was a delight to be around, too - she was always smiling and very sweet.

When we opened the door, it was a big wow. It felt as if we had stepped into a place you normally only see in your dreams. My family and I love to be surrounded by beauty. One of my daughters is an interior designer for hotels all over the world, and even she was completely speechless. The photos on Booking.com do not capture the true beauty of this place. Every detail is perfect. Normally, when our family checks in somewhere, we immediately go out to explore the surroundings. But after arriving at Olinda, we stayed the entire day. We played in the pool together, relaxed, lounged, and simply enjoyed being with each other in a place that gives you such a wonderful feeling. The food and drinks were, of course, of the same excellent quality. After a perfect night’s sleep in one of the four rooms we had booked, we decided to take a tuk-tuk tour. It was a joyful experience. Galle is a beautiful historic place, and the ancient Buddhist rock temple is truly worth visiting a very old, pure, and peaceful place. We celebrated New Year’s Eve in Galle and had a lovely time. Leaving Olinda was hard. We truly felt at home, wrapped in warmth created by the wonderful crew. They are present with open hearts and that is exactly what you feel in this house. We are very gratefull to be here on our Sri Lanka tour

Design: The hotel has a stylish and luxurious feel, that carries through to the rooms which were very thoughtfully and elegantly furnished, with slightly different colours and moods in each room. Bathrooms were outstandingly spacious with large shower areas and nice attention to detail. The rooms look as good as or better than in the photos! Service: We stepped into the hotel and were warmly greeted by the manager Ismail and his welcoming team, who promptly brought our bags upstairs. Throughout our stay, service was very personal and attentive.

Our stay on our Sri Lankan tour was truly exceptional. It would be great to highlight how warmly Darshi and her family welcomed us, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious—an experience that everyone should try! A big thank you to Darshi for her generosity and outstanding hospitality. We genuinely appreciate it! 🙏🙏❤️

The owner of this apartment was kind enough to pick me up at the local station and, drop me back a week later. Very much appreciated. The apartment was spacious with amazing views of the Indian Ocean. Located right on the beach but, not a swimmable beach tho. Loved having the cooking facilities and a washing machine, very handy. My host Sumith made sure all was OK with the apartment and if I needed anything. Even organised a day trip for me. Beautiful welcome basket of bananas and watermelon. Lovely place to stay.

Train Boossa then Tuk Tuk to guest house worked well. Right on the beach with a lovely sea breeze and sunsets from local bar. Lovely family run property. Saman was friendly and extremely helpful and we did a tour with him which we enjoyed a lot.

The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.

The location is right on the beach. You can see dolphins swimming early in the morning (around 7: am). Beds are comfortable and you can hear the waves of the Ocean from your Cabana.
