Easy to find on the main road. Hosts daughter who checked me in and showed me around was very friendly. Although travelling solo, I had booked their largest room with kitchenette and it was great. Spacious, very clean, had a small balcony along one side but you could leave your room and sit on the huge upstairs balcony with comfy chairs too. Bathroom was very clean, hot water on demand and the shower was lovely with good pressure. A fridge in the room together with kettle, coffee percolator and kitchen essentials if you wanted to have something to eat in the room. Bed was large and very comfortable, good AC and ceiling fan. I believe I was the only guest staying during my 3 days. I had breakfast their once which was served on the 1st floor balcony, I had asked for specifics and all was accommodated. The beach is across the road, literally walk about 200m. Bus stop to Galle is 20m away whilst going in the other direction it's about 80m away. The property is about 5 mins walk to the street leading to all the cafes, restaurants etc or even closer if you go via the beach. The wine store is about 500m down the road if you wanted to store up on beer. The family were all extremely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely stay at Sam's again and would thoroughly recommend to others.

Lovely family run guest house - very clean & comfortable, close to the beach. Everything was perfect, well equipped room with kitchenette. AC was efficient, ceiling fan too, nice bathroom, small balcony. Freshly cooked breakfast which was lovely. Very helpful owners, they do laundry too

Traditional property with fantastic staff which made you feel at home. Nothing too much trouble and filling fresh breakfast which we loved and were always asked if we wanted more/if everything was okay. One of our favourite places we’ve stayed would recommend to anyone and will be returning!

Give you a front room on a busy highway, ask for a quiter room (I was the only guest) extra Rs700. No top sheet, that is an extra, but I did get a load of Scabies, no charge. Truly the worst place of have ever stayed at, why Expecia keep them on their list I don't know.
