    Nothing. Everything perfect.

    Everything was perfect. They gave us complete house with all facilities like kitchen, refrigerator, siting area, dinning area, extra bed etc. Actually we had a large area and it exceeded our expectations. Recommended for anyone and well worth for money.

    I felt the warmth of family here, and I truly wish I had more time to stay. The host took care of me like a mother, and when I lost my bag on the way to Galle, Kasuni also helped me like an elder sister. I really enjoyed the time I spent with them — chatting, cooking, and just being together. I’ve now returned home safely. Thank you for everything. Next time, I’ll bring my sister with me to visit you too!I will miss you:)

    Great and lovely apartment. Useful equipment, small kitchen area (no gas for cooking atm) with fridge and water boiler. Washroom was very good. Beds are comfortable with mosquito net. The ac didn't had a remote control atm. The apartment ist very big with nice balcony. The breakfast was local and very delicious. Thanks so much for everything, Nilusha.

    We liked everything.

    Nilusha was lovely. The perfect host…. Interesting and friendly. And helpful in any way she could be. She made the most delicious breakfasts… Sri Lankan in style. The accommodation was perfect, clean, and as it was an apartment, it had everything you could need. It was spacious, and actually it was our best accommodation of all 8 locations that we stayed in Sri Lanka over three and a half weeks. It was in a residential area, very safe, and actually walk of about 20 minutes from the fort and railway station, or a 250 rupees tuctuc journey.

    We stayed here for a couple of nights, it's a little bit of a distance to Galle Fort but you can catch a bus or walk if it's not too hot. Our homestay host was the best! If you like Sri Lankan food do have her dinner and breakfast which are delicious (extra cost.) A very reasonably priced homestay and one of the best hosts we've had in the month we have been here. Highly recommend.

    Amazing stay in beautiful Galle city. Nilusha, the hostess of the property is very kind and welcoming. She made us delicious dinner (for an extra charge). And the breakfast was also amazing and plentiful. The apartment is well equipped with a kitchen including a fridge. And the room is so clean and comfortable. This is our best stay in Sri Lanka. We will definitely be back :)

    Big room with a fridge and comfortable beds! We absolutely loved this place and felt comfortable there. Also the home cooked food is amazing!!! Area is nice to walk around a very quiet. You need a tuktuk or go for a good walk to reach the center/fort, but we love walking so it wasn't an issue for us. Great hosts, recommended :-)

    Don't follow google maps road. Especially the route that is parallel to the railway track. Please take the big road via Richmond Hill Road and then onto Wiskam Road.

    Great deal for a stay in Galle where everything is over priced. Jayalath was a bit difficult to find through google maps. But once we reached there, no regrets at all. In the middle of residential locality, this place was cozy and comfortable for my family. I travelled with my mother and father and we were provided with a huge spacious room. The Owner, Nilusha was very helpful throughout our stay at Galle. She tended to all our requests and made sure we had a comfortable stay. Thank you very much for all the help extended and that too in the midst of the rainy season!
