    I vacationed in March 2024. I liked the hotel very much. Quiet and beautiful place. The staff is very responsive. The rooms are bright and spacious. The breakfast is good. This hotel is a great place for those who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and looking for relaxation. It is located 20 minutes walk from the sea. Since there are not so many tourists in the area, it is possible to relax on the nearest beach without crowds of people. I recommend this hotel to everyone for whom price-quality is important.

    We liked our big room which has two big windows with a view of the garden and a wonderful bathroom with an authentic design. The staff was really polite and helpful. Breakfast is really large and tasty, we didn't need lunch half of the day after such a breakfast.

    Very calm and comfortable place. It takes ~20 minutes on foot to the nearest beach (the Turtle beach where you can swim with sea turtles) and additional ~10 minutes on tuk-tuk/bus to the busy places in Unawatuna/Galle. Our host Supun was very kind and helpful including transfer to the residence and to the airport. The rooms are very big and tidy, the pool is clean, and the place itself is surrounded by beautiful nature. Breakfasts were nice too. We booked this residence the day before the arrival due to unforeseen circumstances with another booking and couldn't be happier once we finally arrived. Highly recommend this place, feels like home.

    Everything was great no complaints! Just room for improvement, -have a reception area. (We had instances where we were in need of something and couldn’t find anyone) - have tea/coffee in the room.

    -The owner Supun is very hospitable, genuine and down to earth, and will treat every guest equally. - The staff was kind and helpful just like the owner. -I liked that there was no cut off time for breakfast. It takes away the rush in the morning. -The room was clean and very spacious. -Simple filling breakfast.

    Hotel Calm Haven was the best stay from our 14 days trip in Sri Lanka. Super large bedrooms, classy shower area, a sparkling clean & a well maintained property with tasteful interiors. Supun and team took great care of us. They customised the breakfast for my family's liking and went to utmost length to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Will highly recommend the property for your next visit to Galle.

    This stay was excellent - I was the only guest, and still had a sparkling clean pool, a clean room and excellent service from the staff. They were very attentive and helpful. The breakfast was incredible, and they were kind enough to go above and beyond in other aspects, such as helping me access an ATM and making me the most amazing Sri Lankan lunch.

    Pool water had a little too much Chlorine. Price was a little too high for a bed and breakfast stay as can stay in a 5 star hotel for a full board package for a little more.

    Staff were friendly and supportive. Calm environment. Clean and spacious rooms. Delicious food.

    We had a great stay at Calm Haven, it is exactly what it says; a calm haven. The location was perfect for us, 5 minute ride from the beach and located in a wonderful serene area. Staff were very attentive and made us extremely welcome. Special thanks to Supan, he was fantastic. We were originally considering a hotel on the beachfront, however having stayed here we would return again without hesitation, the beaches get so busy, calm haven is a great place to retreat at the end of a sunny beach day and chill by the pool.

This hotel is super clean, people here are ready to help you anytime. you can also walk down to the ocean, it will take up to 15 minutes to see it! Near this place you can find stores, restaurants and cafés. This place is literally the best way to enjoy Sri Lanka’s nature and peace. Thank you for making this place so special😊

    our stay was too short!!

    This hotel has by far been one of, if not the beast hotel we stayed at, throughout our stay in Sri Lanka. Hotel is very clean and the area is well taken care of by the staff. Very large and comfortable room done up very nicely. Situated 5 mins from Unawatuna centre and 10 mins to Galle. Great place to stay to visit around with a great value for money. To add, the staff are super friendly and welcoming and ready to assist you throughout your holiday.

    The building is very loud. We had a room under the dining room and every morning at 7am we were awakened because the stuff prepared tables for breakfast. Also when you have inconsiderate neighbors who want to hang out by the pool all night, you hear everything.

    Comfy room, kind stuff, nice pool and good location, tasty breakfast

    Bad smell in the bathroom. Not in depht clean. When we opened the Mosquito Net a lot of dead flys and Mosquitos fell out. At the day of our Arrival there were too less explanation about were the dining room is, about the W Lan and about general things for example when the breakfast is. We couldn't reach any staff til the evening to explain us the questions we had.

    Nice and spacy rooms. quiet location. There is potential for 10/10. But we had a few letdowns compared to other places we stayed in the country.
