It's a beautiful and peaceful accomodation. Just 5 minutes from Galle Fort by tuktuk.
We felt very comfortable and Sumith and his family were kind and lovely. Thanks!

Отдаленность от городской суеты, передвигались на байке поэтому посмотреть форт не составило труда.
Надо что то решить с водой, напора не было(((

Большая благодарность персоналу, за раннее заселение. Рядом есть магазин, рыбный рынок.
Интернет очень плохой, персонал старался помочь, не все равное он оставался ужасным. Работать не смогли, ездили в коворкинг. Очень возмутило, то что на вилле в 11 часов вечера начались строительные работы!!!! Это вообще как???? Кухня была липкой и не совсем чистой(

No fridge in room
Wi-Fi only worked in communal lounge, however while there owners did put in a booster, but still very slow.

We arrived at 11 pm, but the staff was very friendly and made the necessary arrangements for us. The location was very close to Galle Fort. I prefer more parking facilities. Overall good place.
There is no shampoo or body wash in the bathroom. Even the hand wash is not included.

The best hotel we ever had. We swam in a warm swimming pool at night during the tropic rain, and it was cool👍 Delicious breakfast was served at the morning. Love this place.

Okay it has some limitations, but unbeatably good for the price. It's not easy to find but any tuk driver should be able, and I managed to walk it with some luggage from the bus stand in 30 mins, asking directions only once, with proper Google Maps instructions. (Tuk prices were far too high compared to metered tuk fixed price). Walked for dinner to the harbour area in 15 mins, and even though the streets were well lit took me some time to find the place back afterwards ;-)
As Booking.com gave a free upgrade to apartment including breakfast, I'll base the review on a normal room for USD 20 excluding breakfast. And even that is excellent value for money seeing location, small but clean pool, fast WiFi, AC and spacious rooms. Friendly service and nice continental breakfast added to this makes Sholay a great option for visiting Galle!
Bathroom sink is cold water, and shower lukewarm at best. Very acceptable for the climate and the price. Cleanliness of the bathroom (some small ants) could be better,

Very nice and clean swimming pool with option for babies. Nice villa in general with kitchen for individual use.
Location is very far away from the restaurants so this can be an issue if you do not have car or scooter.

The apartment is massive and really quiet .
Nice swimming pool, delicious breakfast , nice swimming pool , really clean and friendly professional staff !! Really lovely
It was a bit hidden and was pretty hard to find it at first . We were following the address in google maps but was sending us somewhere else . Once you find it it’s really easy and pretty close
to the center

Located in a quiet residential area surrounded by greenery, this villa is an ideal place to stay when you are visiting Galle or the Southern Province, especially if it is with your family or friends. This place has most of the facilities you could expect in any standard hotel. The staff is quite cooperative and willing to assist you with your needs.
Even though Booking.com did mention that this place accepts CC payments, I was disappointed when they informed me that only cash payments were possible. As a result, I could not avail myself of a 10% discount.

Bit away from the centre of Galle.

Staff and host were super nice and welcoming. The place it’s self is really nice, very big and spacious. Very clean,, comfy beds. Breakfast was small but yummy. They also let us stay until gone 3pm and helped book a taxi on for us which was very kind of them.
Slight issue was it was a little away from the main town so you need to get tuk tuks in to the fort and all the restaurants.
