The stay was amazing! The rooms were spotless, and the washroom was just like in the photos – clean and exactly what we expected. The host was super friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The kitchen was fully functional, so we could cook if we wanted, and they were kind enough to prepare a delicious pure veg breakfast on our request. The location was perfect, too – close to everything we wanted to explore. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy, convenient place to stay!

Don't judge a book by its cover is what i should say about this property , The pictures don't justify the beauty of this property you have to visit it to believe it . absolutely amazing one and very very beautifully curated with good sense of interiors hygiene was Top notch and owner himself was very very cautious about taking care of the guests - really felt very good staying at this property for 2 nights the entire staff was very very cooperative and i would definitely recommend this to my friends.

Great location, close to the bus station, bul also historic centre. Room was big enough, comfortable bed, tiny balcony big enough to dry clothes. Breakfast was delicious and the owner and the family were super nice. There is also shared space where you can hang out, including nice balcony.

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.
