beautiful view / warm hospitality

The hotel has a dramatic view over the mountains and valley below. The room was spotlessly clean. The welcome from Pradeep and the team was genuine and warm. The kitchen creates excellent Sri Lankan food and Roshan made us feel like regulars. 10/10 service breakfast and dinner.

The room could benefit from an air conditioner at night. The shower in bath was not ideal for anyone but the most agile guests.

Beautiful setting on top of a mountain away from the bustling city below. Very nice and relaxing...

Beautiful view, nice and nicely decorated facilities, relaxing and very friendly staff.

There is really not much not to like. The restaurant was good ...but the offering on the menu card didn't fully match the otherwise very high standards

Great for a relaxing retreat

I had a blissful stay at Galavilla - the hotel is beautiful and surrounded by nature. I spent a day by the pool and jacuzzi, it was beautiful. Great hospitality by the hotel staff.

All was good! Just a shame I couldn't have a Sri Lankan breakfast on my arrival, and was only offered a continental one.

A hidden gem, a gift for our senses

The hidden and wonderful location was surprising. A peaceful accommodation to relax with your family. Warm welcome from the staff, always helpful and looking at all details. It deserves a longer stay to enjoy the surrounding nature and the amazing jacuzzi. We’ve been in Feb 2023, there is nothing to worry about for tourism, a safe country and lovely people.

I can’t say anything that I don’t like it

Rustic sanctuary on top of the mountain

I recently stayed at the Galla Villa Boutique Hotel and it was truly an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, the rooms were luxurious and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. I particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast buffet each morning and the spa facilities. I would highly recommend the Galla Villa Boutique Hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Nothing I can remember about it.

We stayed for 11 nights in the hotel and already day one we felt at home. Located in the beautiful, natural area, far away from the hassle of big city, but still nearby to many attractions. The personnel was welcoming and warm, whenever we needed something everyone was so helpful! The room was spacious and clean, the views amazing, what a wonderful escape! But the best thing... food! absolutely incredible. The chef was ready to go an extra mile and offered to cook our favorites off menu plus we took cooking class to learn about Sri Lankan food from the best source :) We cannot recommend this place enough! We will be back :)

Spectacular views from this relaxing and special hotel

Staff and hotel were both excellent! The scenery is beautiful, attentive staff, specious rooms and we had a huge balcony with a breathtaking view.

Despite being gorgeous, the location isn't right in Kendy. Since we had a car, we didn't mind

A truly relaxing retreat and it was a joy to wake up there each morning. Food and pool great too!

Up on cloud number nine

From the warm welcome on the first day to the assistance at departure, all of the stay was imbued by genuine care. The rooms and restaurant have breath-taking views with the nature songs all around. Also worth noting: the unique striking interior design (each room themed to one of Nature's element), the Spa bungalow with comprehensive Ayurvedic treatments, the gardens and the well catered menu with a complete wine list and bar selection. Above all the best memory will be the amazing team in beautiful sarongs, available round the clock to assist with gentle attention and pleasant conversation.

Perfect for relaxation

The hotel is situated in a beautiful location outside the city. It is quiet and peaceful, set in a large garden, which includes a swimming pool. The views there are breathtaking. The staff is very nice and always available. The rooms are spacious and a big plus is that you get a classic bed for the child. This made us very happy. Breakfast and dinner were good.

There is nothing to complain about.

Romantic unforgettable experience in Galavilla

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. The room was huge, with a very impressive view of the town and the nature that surrounds the hotel. The staff was very friendly and made us feel quite at home. We took advantage of the stunning yoga area to meditate and practice in the dawn of morning. Unforgettable. If you are looking for romance and peace, don't look elsewhere.

The restaurant was a little bit below our expectations in comparison to the quality of the hotel.

A great boutique hotel with an even awesome staff.

The property is located on the hills in Kandy. getting there is bit of a task although once you reach the hotel, it’s mesmerizing. the staff was awesome and heed to your personal needs. Each and every member of the staff was polite and prompt. The views from the massive rooms are awesome and a treat in the mornings and evenings

apart from reaching the hotel. nothing to complain.

A place where you can rest and enjoy yourself for a couple of days. Amazing views, amazing staff!

super nice venue - well managed - friendly staff - services offered by the hotel - amazing views - very good breakfast - next time we will book for longer :)

location is quite far from Kandy, so plan well how to get there, but then there is no need to leave :)

Great views and lovely relaxing place to stay. 40 minute drive away from Kandy in the mountains.

The view, the staff, the pool were all great. The view from our room (the Sun Room) was epic.

It is 40 minute drive up the mountain away from Kandy (which makes for great views) but Google Maps takes you the wrong way up the hill. Our taxi on the way there got stuck on the rocky dirt road and we had to pay a villager to take our luggage in a tuk-tuk whilst we walked the rest of the way. The hotel should have made clear to access via the other route.

The view is gorgeous. Staff is friendly and helpful with any requests. Room was huge and clean with amazing terrace.

Sometimes it was noisy, as we had a restaurant downstairs and we heard Russians that partied till late night. Also, bathroom become super moist after few days, but it’s okay for such climate.

peaceful place

actually everything. the place is so peaceful, staff really nice, room amazing and really comfortable and the food in the restaurant is one of the best I eat in Sri Lanka. the only point to noted is that is quite far from Kandy (between 45min and 1h), nevertheless this is why you have the impression to be lost in the jungle and you can enjoy an amazing view, and a big calm so from my side it was a positive point.

Feels like home.

The most peaceful staying in an unbeatable location. Just open for tourists, after Covid-19 lockdowns, we felt so lucky to have the whole place just for us three. Food was delicious and staff were always beyond our expectations. The company and help the hotel’s driver provided was the best to get to know the midlands like locals more than tourists. Thanks Pradeep (best manager ever!) for ensure such a lovely time for me and my daughters.
