The place is quite nice, in nature, with no noise. The owner and the staff are really amazing. They took care of everything smoothly. They provided an awesome, sumptuous breakfast. It is a quiet, old residence, and the rooms are big and clean. Everything turned out amazing.

Indika was a great host. Very accommodating and helpful with suggestions and timing of ventures especially with it being off season. We had the family room which felt like our own house. Two lofts and a main area and lots of bed space for the family. We wished we stayed longer here. The view and the sound of the waves made for the most peaceful sleep.

This was a last minute booking but one of the loveliest places we stayed. Our stay was only for one evening but that was enough to feel like part of the family. Aroshina is always smiling. Such a lovely person. We mainly went there for the cooking class which was great. We cooked, chatted and laughed for hours. Definately hope to return one day soon! The beds and pillows were really comfy and quiet A/C.

Madhusankha

From

Sri Lanka

Almost everything was great. This is the first time we tried a place like this. Usually we go for a villa but this time we went for a homestay. Both breakfast and dinner were great. The room was clean. This is the first time I saw two pillows per person =D. Really felt like staying at a place that you already know. Also dini galle is placed in a calm area which is great. It's around 4km from galle fort (around 400LKR if you use pickme, around 600-700LKR if you use general tuk tuk)

From

I had a wonderful stay at Small House Boutique Guest House in Galle. The place is absolutely charming — a cute, cozy house with beautiful décor and such a peaceful vibe. The room was spotless, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. A special thank you to Rumeshika, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Her warmth and care truly made my stay memorable. Breakfast was delicious, and the location is perfect — right in the heart of Galle Fort yet so calm and quiet. Thank you for the hospitality and comfort — it was a lovely experience that I’ll always remember. Highly recommended! 💛
