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.

We had a very wel coming stay. Our host is a friendly smart and helping guy who knows his profession. We had a nice clean room with view of the sea. Good English and very helpful without being pushy. We were happy to stay just out of the center and we could rent a scooter 20 meters further for a good price too. Will come again.

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

The room was wonderfully furnished with a beautiful bathroom with hot water. Amazing price due to it being Low Season. Right on the Beachfront and the restaurant food was really good. The bed was super comfortable which earns a big tick from me. Close to all manner of shops and restaurants and ATMs. Staff were wonderful and happy to assist with all my needs. Room was very clean. Tea kettle and cups and glasses supplied.

Remarkable location right on the beach/seafront. Our room is Beachfront Cabanas where we fall asleep & wake up to sound of roaring seas! Short walk to bay with swimming turtles near Frog Rock! Wonderful breakfast at terrace of our Cabanas just next to the sea!

Perfect location right on the beach! The rooms are beautiful and spacious, all ocean facing. The AC and fan made it pleasant to stay during this hot season. Breakfast was delicious 😋 I enjoyed the omelet and pancakes. It's a great location as it's on the main road and very easy to reach several places. Galle and Weligama are just minutes away. So may attractions all within the area. Very easy to use public transport right outside.

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.

We absolutely loved the location. Right on the beachfront and central of the small town with lots of restaurants and shops. Kevin in particular was an absolute star, went above and beyond - cobstantly smiling, welcoming and all the staff couldn't do enough for us. Kiki was our favourite furry friend. The free shuttle to use the pool at the sister Hotel was really great and an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here.

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.

Many thanks to John and his team for the great time we spent at Josan Villa. Our room on the upper floor was huge with a great view. The food was great and the team even organized a private sunset dinner for us right on the beach. At the same time, we were taken care of in a touching way. Josan's team organized the repair of our cell phone, booked taxi rides and organized tuktuk trips. The time in Josan's villa was simply great!
