Staffs are very helpful and friendly, nice neighbourhood closer to many attractions. Tasty breakfast and clean, spacious rooms and a beautiful swimming pool.

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 sweetest family runs this place — they made me feel right at home. The room was clean, new, and very comfortable. I got sick during my stay, and they went above and beyond, preparing home remedies, recommending doctors, and sending food to my room. Their kindness truly touched me. Plus, they have an adorable kitten and a delicious breakfast that made the stay even more special! Highly recommend..

Literally everything!! The staff was so friendly they welcomed us so warmly they offered welcome drinks, upgraded our room and gave us a FREE late check out as our flight was very late!

This serene and tucked-away property strikes the perfect balance—ideally located for exploring the charm of Galle in the afternoons and evenings, yet nestled in a peaceful setting that feels wonderfully removed from the bustle. Our room was tastefully furnished and exceptionally comfortable, while the communal areas were beautifully maintained, evoking the warmth and intimacy of a private home rather than a typical hotel. A small note for future guests: the property doesn’t hold an alcohol license, so you may wish to bring your own if desired. All in all, it was a tranquil, intimate, and truly memorable stay—one that exceeded all our expectations.

Literally everything: the amazing pool, the great food (breakfast and dinner), the very friendly and helpful staff all over, the great beds, the peaceful location next to the old Fort, the ocean views, huge rooms, beautiful interiors, beautiful garden, the styling, the overall experience (as if we were king and queen)

The location was great its the center of galle fort, and also the breakfast was amazing.

We had the villa to ourselves, it was a very quiet and clean place, the staff was really helpful all the time, the pool is extremely clean, you can use the kitchen for breakfast, thank you for everything, we will definitely come back, Kateřina and Eliška

Absolutely, everything is perfect. Beautiful Japanese inspired design hotel, only a few renting rooms, a lot of privacy. Staff were extremely helpful, very polite, good manners, and very friendly. Also, hotel designs like bedrooms, kichen, and living room made us feel like at home. Amazing breakfast, they can serve whatever you wish. Highly recommended

I echo the other reviews — the property is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and tastefully furnished. The staff are attentive and professional, and we genuinely enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Our room was the last one on the second floor, featuring a lovely balcony with a view of the Dutch Church. One small suggestion: the four breakfast tables are placed quite close together, which can feel a bit cramped. It might be worth considering relocating a couple of tables in front of the ground floor rooms to offer guests a bit more privacy. That said, the staff were very accommodating and immediately arranged for our breakfast to be served upstairs on the balcony. The Sri Lankan breakfast option was both delicious and generous. A truly great stay!

Great proximity to the fort, we would walk there each day. Love the rabbits and monkeys in the trees. Nice having access to kitchen and lounge. The staff were very helpful. Lovely big room and bathroom.

This is a fantastic villa right in the centre of Galle. Pool made it extra special. The rooms are amazing and the staff were really helpful, excellent food. This was a dream stay but also good value.

Great old building, with heaps of charm. Staff were great, best service we received in all of Sri Lanka.

Amazing house in Galle Fort. Incredibly comfortable and amazing hospitality

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.

Exceptional hosts. Very friendly and welcoming...superb breakfast !!

Funky and cool decor, amazing restaurant and brilliant staff. Location was amazing too
