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 had an absolutely wonderful experience at the hotel! From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every need was met with a smile. The villa was spacious, very clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a relaxing environment that made us feel right at home. The amenities were top-notch, with a fantastic pool overlooking a jungle and providing a stunning view of the ocean. The location was also wonderful as the hotel is located at the top of the hill, maintaining a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway in the middle of the jungle with the too view of the Indian Ocean.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ceylon Olive. We travelled there with our 1 year old and it was a nice changeup from staying at hotels on the beach. The room is beautifully designed and spacious. The host is personable and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. There's a onsite tuk-tuk, which is convenient for getting to Galle and Unawatuna.

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

quaint and charming place, with a relaxed pace of life -- besides the Galle fort, peace tower, handloom factory, silk showroom, and spice garden, there lots of good places nearby with treks and forest trails-- mahamura, sinharaja, yala, ,kanneliya-- boon for nature lovers ! watch out for the leeches though !

If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country – the landscape and wildlife, the food and its people. All of this can be experienced much better at Ginganga Lodge – an exceptionally magnificent place to relax and visit Galle or just enjoy Sri Lanka. Great interior design! We loved the pool, the local dishes and the smell of cinnamon!!! The hotel is managed with the utmost care and guests are treated with the utmost respect and hospitality. Even the WiFi works, although you feel like you're living in the middle of the jungle. Highly recommended!

The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The hotel is located in a prime spot—just a short walk from the Galle Clock Tower, popular restaurants, museums, the lighthouse, and even bathing spots. Galle Fort is a stunning location in Sri Lanka, and staying here gave us easy access to everything it has to offer. Breakfast was a simple yet satisfying English breakfast, served with a fresh fruit platter and coffee. And all of this came at a very reasonable rate. Until we meet again, Thank you, Sunset Fort Galle!

Wonderfully located within the fort. Its a stones throw away from the lighthouse, many restaurants, and is next to a small swimming beach. The hotel itself is really beautiful, very nice rooms and the best pillows in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was excellent and a lovely way to start the day eating in the courtyard. The staff are super friendly and work hard to ensure a comfortable stay. Thank you to Andrew and the team and we hope to see you again

Warm welcome from the staff (fresh fruit juice on arrival). The hotel is in a beautiful building on a peaceful street, and only 2 minutes walk from the sea walls. The room was lovely and there is plenty of outside space to relax in. Huge bed! Great fresh Sri Lankan breakfast, and varied each morning. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Galle.
