We had a pleasant 2 days stay in this beautiful and stylish hotel with bespoke interiors and convenient location near the beach and not far from the Galle Fort. The hotel staff Varuni and Roshan were extremely helpful and nice. They helped us with our requests to make our stay the most comfortable. The breakfast prepared by the staff was delicious and nicely served. We look forward to staying in Taavetti Hotel again.

Run by a young family, you feel at home from the first moment. The reception, characterized by warmth. Just like every other moment. No wish remains hidden. They know what the guest needs. A breakfast that makes the heart beat faster. Something different every day. This can be confirmed after 5 days of stay. I thank you for the help. I had to see a doctor several times because of an injury. Dear Chatu & family, I wish you many more lovely guests. Keep it up!

That was probably our favourite spot during our stay on the island. We were supposed to head to the central regions, but due to the weather situation in the mountains, returned for two more nights after our initial three. The place has the best atmosphere, right by the seafront and Indika was a super kind, welcoming and helpful host, along with his lovely family and of course dear Shadow. The food was really delicious and as for the waiting times mentioned by some below, it was more of a catch-of-the-day situation (husband really loved the chance to fish on the beach himself, also!), so that can really be expected and is absolutely worth it.

Really nice and relaxing place, right on the beach front. The staff is great, attentive and always ready to help. I liked the place so much that i extended my stay twice. If you are heading to Galle in my opinion its much better to stay in this part then in the City. Big thanks to all the crew especially to Krish he is a great Chef. Ne

I really loved the family that did their best for me every morning and made a vegan breakfast specially for me. It was a big room with a fan which was perfect at night. They've been very kind and I've had the feeling of home for the 3 nights I spend here. And the chameleons that I saw during breakfast where a very pleasant surprise. Thank you for everything!

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.
