The property is so well curated perfect blend of modern aesthetic with traditional furniture and furnishings. The owner is so sweet and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Another highlights would be the open bathroom, I still dream about it today. The property is very clean, filled with beautiful furniture and antique details from the owner's family, he has kept everything in pristine condition for the visitors to appreciate and enjoy. The breakfast was delicious and their home dogs were super friendly too.

My experience at Saman's place is the best beach stay I ever had in my life. It is the perfect place for beach lovers. The property is just 2 Km away from Galle. The beach is in front of the room, there is a patio and with a table and chair, giving a beautiful view while having meals. The place also has sunloungers and a shower area. Saman was really helpful and accommodating, he arranged a scooter at a reasonable price and gave the best recommendation for food and beaches around. We had a really delicious breakfast and it was a lot, prepared by Saman's wife. I highly recommend the place.

I had an excellent stay at this guest house. Its proximity to a major highway interchange made travel easy, yet the surrounding greenery provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The place was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was both delicious and affordable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this guest house for its convenience, cleanliness, tasty breakfast, and warm hospitality. I'll definitely return.

Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend

The room was super nice, quiet, and with the air conditioning always comfortably cool. Ravi, the host, takes very good care of his guests and makes you feel very welcome. Breakfast is served on the balcony with a lovely view and includes a wide variety of fresh fruits, tea, toast and so much more. The guest house is perfectly located as it's close to everything you could want and need. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't recommend the guest house enough.
