The room is really big for 1 person. The family owns the property. Everyone is so friendly and I feel very comfortable. They even gave me wood apple juice. And made tea the next day in the morning but since I was rushing for the train back to Colombo I couldn't drink. Felt so bad. If you don't mind like me to listen to the train passes by go for it.

If your destination is Galle, then look no further; this is the perfect place to stay. Just a brief 5-minute bus ride from Galle Railway Station, it offers unparalleled convenience. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family, warmly welcomed and cared for. The breakfast spread was a highlight of our 15-day journey through Sri Lanka, featuring an array of delicious offerings including fruit, coconut sweet rolls, pancakes, toast, eggs, fresh juice, noodles, and fried vegetables, all enjoyed against a backdrop of stunning beach and sea views. Opting for dinner was a decision we didn't regret; the noodles and rice curry were simply outstanding. With direct access to the beach, guests can relax, swim, and witness breathtaking sunsets framed by swaying coconut trees. For the ultimate experience, I highly recommend selecting a room with a beach view. The spacious, comfortable bed, amenities like a fridge, and excellent bathroom facilities exceeded our expectations. If I find myself in Galle again, this will undoubtedly be my top choice for accommodation. Your genuine smile and the heartfelt hug you shared with us as we departed will forever remain etched in our memories. Your warmth touched our hearts deeply, and we are grateful for your continued messages, checking in to ensure our safe journey home. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and caring nature. We wish all the best for your family.

Perfect place. The cleanest we've seen for a month in Sri Lanka. It's sparkling clean. We booked for one night but extended and stayed for a week. Very comfortable two bedroom apartment with everything needed inside. Hot water, AC, fan, fully equipped kitchen with a really good kitchenware. We felt like home here. Galle fort and big supermarkets are in 25 min by walk or 5 min by tuk-tuk, not very close but the apartment surroundings are quiet, nice and worthy. And the owner is a very kind, helpful and friendly lady. Our best recommendations for this place.

Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.

Indiko and Shadow (the dog) are great hosts. Indiko takes good care of you and likes to tell you more about his live and living at the beach near Galle. Galle is 10 minutes by tuktuk. The food in the homestay is great.
