The room got quite hot. There is a ceiling fan, but A/C would have made the night more comfortable. The pool area could use some TLC in places. More Sri Lankan options for dinner would have been nice. Menu mostly catered to a western palette. Mind you; this is meant as constructive criticism. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we had booked more than 1 night.

The location and grounds of the hotel are simply stunning. Amazing views over the mountains, super lush, and green gardens that are well kept. The staff were, without exception, all super friendly and hospitable. The room was large and clean. The balcony added an extra touch to the room, and we spent quite some time up on there, enjoying ourselves and the amazing views. The breakfast buffet, albeit being quite limited, was very tasty.

That we could only stay 1 night. Wish the pool was open later.

Incredible landscaping, location in the hills and immense rooms with incredible balconies.

Terrible noise, sawing, banging and building from 08.30 till 5.00. Hotel advised us of this 24 hours before arrival, even though we had booked many months earlier. At that time it was too late to find something similar. It continued throughout the entire 10 days we stayed there. We made many outings, and at the pool it was quieter. It was eventually 'made good' with a discount upon departure. But still a shame.

Beautiful location in the hills. Great breakfast. Lovely dinners. Super service from Roshin and his team! The room was large with a beautiful large balcony. The most sensational bathroom with large window the length of the bath. Minibar and kettle in room.

Please, do something about the food... during our stay we were in a couple of other hotels and resorts and here the food was one of the worst. Sri Lankan was ok and nice but the European style food was really poor quality. 45 minutes drive from Kandy but lovely quiet location which is worth the drive (only there are not any restaurants near by and with the food not being so great I would probably not choose this property again).

Beautiful rooms with the best view, nice pool, nice wellness, lovely nature all around. Every room has also outside area which is as big as the room and very nice indeed. The staff, especially at the restaurant, are so nice!

The drive was a long one getting to the hotel but after you reached the hotel you forgot about it.

The staff was excellent and very attentive to our needs and were happy to make accommodations for us when we traveled and came back late to the hotel or wanted to leave early.

Perfect place on top of the mountains around Kandy, in the middle of the jungle, very remote, good for relaxation and with amazing views. Rooms are really big and clean, with huge terrace and perfect hot water at the shower. Pool is nice as well, we regret only that we could not use it, because of rain. Very friendly staff, very good massage at Spa and amazing food in their own restsurant. Highly recommended!

The room could benefit from an air conditioner at night. The shower in bath was not ideal for anyone but the most agile guests.

The hotel has a dramatic view over the mountains and valley below. The room was spotlessly clean. The welcome from Pradeep and the team was genuine and warm. The kitchen creates excellent Sri Lankan food and Roshan made us feel like regulars. 10/10 service breakfast and dinner.

There is really not much not to like. The restaurant was good ...but the offering on the menu card didn't fully match the otherwise very high standards

Beautiful view, nice and nicely decorated facilities, relaxing and very friendly staff.

All was good! Just a shame I couldn't have a Sri Lankan breakfast on my arrival, and was only offered a continental one.

I had a blissful stay at Galavilla - the hotel is beautiful and surrounded by nature. I spent a day by the pool and jacuzzi, it was beautiful. Great hospitality by the hotel staff.

Nothing

Fantastic team of staff. Gorgeous surroundings, including an amazingly beautiful garden. Cannot recommend this place more!

I can’t say anything that I don’t like it

The hidden and wonderful location was surprising. A peaceful accommodation to relax with your family. Warm welcome from the staff, always helpful and looking at all details. It deserves a longer stay to enjoy the surrounding nature and the amazing jacuzzi. We’ve been in Feb 2023, there is nothing to worry about for tourism, a safe country and lovely people.

Nothing I can remember about it.

I recently stayed at the Galla Villa Boutique Hotel and it was truly an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, the rooms were luxurious and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. I particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast buffet each morning and the spa facilities. I would highly recommend the Galla Villa Boutique Hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Place is amazing, starting from view to all the mountains for design of the room ending on lovley, always smiling stuff! The bed and pillows are so comfortable you don't want to leave your bed 🤣 breakfast is amazing, wish to stay here forever. Thank you for great stay ❤️

We stayed for 11 nights in the hotel and already day one we felt at home. Located in the beautiful, natural area, far away from the hassle of big city, but still nearby to many attractions. The personnel was welcoming and warm, whenever we needed something everyone was so helpful! The room was spacious and clean, the views amazing, what a wonderful escape! But the best thing... food! absolutely incredible. The chef was ready to go an extra mile and offered to cook our favorites off menu plus we took cooking class to learn about Sri Lankan food from the best source :) We cannot recommend this place enough! We will be back :)

Absolutely magic place. Every single detail was perfect.

Despite being gorgeous, the location isn't right in Kendy. Since we had a car, we didn't mind

Staff and hotel were both excellent! The scenery is beautiful, attentive staff, specious rooms and we had a huge balcony with a breathtaking view.

A/C could be a bonus. I understand the reasons for not having it but we found it very hot overnight

Pretty much everything. A beautiful, relaxing and classy hotel with very attentive and friendly staff

Stayed in April 2022

From the warm welcome on the first day to the assistance at departure, all of the stay was imbued by genuine care. The rooms and restaurant have breath-taking views with the nature songs all around. Also worth noting: the unique striking interior design (each room themed to one of Nature's element), the Spa bungalow with comprehensive Ayurvedic treatments, the gardens and the well catered menu with a complete wine list and bar selection. Above all the best memory will be the amazing team in beautiful sarongs, available round the clock to assist with gentle attention and pleasant conversation.

40 Mins from train station in TUK-TUK.

Nice room with veranda to garden, next to reception so a little noise at busy times. Beautiful views on a clear day.
