Amazing stay – highly recommended! I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay — always ready to assist with a smile. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, with a good variety of options. The location is perfect: close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. I truly enjoyed every moment here and would definitely come back. Thank you for making my trip so pleasant!

-We were offered an upgrade to the King's Suite which was a wonderful gesture by the manager. -The room was huge and very well-ventilated and bright. The manager was attentive to all our requirements. -Being a vegetarian, I did not have a lot of options for breakfast or other meals, however, the chef Isuru and other kitchen staff went out of the way to make vegetarian meal options for me. -They arranged for a spa treatment upon request for us and the masseuse knew his work. I would like to conclude by saying that both the property and kitchen staff at Tavetti understand the ethics of the Hospitality industry well!

We stayed here for two nights and have absolutely nothing to complain about. The house is just like the photos and very clean. The staff have been amazing and hospitality to another level. We had a authentic Sri Lankan and English breakfast made for us which was scrumptious. The beach, restaurants, small shops and a bus stop just about 1 minute away. Enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend to friends, family even couples! Perfect location.

Train Boossa then Tuk Tuk to guest house worked well. Right on the beach with a lovely sea breeze and sunsets from local bar. Lovely family run property. Saman was friendly and extremely helpful and we did a tour with him which we enjoyed a lot.

The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.
