Great spot. Only four rooms (I think) and it really feels as if you are staying in a private home. Beautiful setting and remarkably well decorated. Spectacular, really. Our room was massive and made me feel like an English Earl from the colonial era. I'm a pretty spoiled traveler and this place is special. Sun House is across the street... More

This is a really pretty, peaceful property on the hill above Galle. Very quiet and relaxing. Attentive staff; very well appointed and apportioned suites. Lovely infinity pool. Good breakfast, and the Sun House and Dick's Bar are 30 seconds' walk for great drinks and dinner.

If you are in the Galle area and do not have to stay on the beach then this is just the best place to stay. There are only 4 large suites and everything about it is perfect. Breakfasts served by their 2 charming girls are great and just across the road is one of the best restaurants in Sri Lanka,... More

Gorgeous well-maintained property. Our room (I think the blue room) was beautiful. We had our own sitting room and a very large bathroom with a claw foot tub. The Infiniti pool is very nice, comfy pool chairs. Cons: staff barely speaks English. I was able to see into the kitchen while a man and woman were preparing breakfast. He blatantly... More

We spent 3 nights in the Dutch House during our visit to Sri Lanka. We enjoyed it tremendously. We stayed in the Ball Room. The room was great, we enjoyed the sitting area and the artwork on display. The pool was very nice as well. There was only one other person staying there so it felt like we had the... More

We booked our holiday to Sri Lanka rather last minute but Robyn at the Dutch House was incredibly accommodating and patient with me during the booking process. We arrived at 5am in the morning from a night flight, exhausted and were so grateful to discover that our room was ready and waiting along with a friendly reception and a refreshing... More

We spent 6 days here and wishes we could haver spent more time. The Dutch House is a rare treat - staying a beautifully decorated house that feels like home from home. We stayed in the Ballroom but all of the other rooms are extraordinary. There is a fantastic pool and croquet lawn. Management understand what their clients are looking... More

We had the blue suite, very comfortable and clean with a free-standing bath , separate shower, and a reading room. Bedroom is air-conditioned and opens directly on to the veranda. Lovely croquet lawn and swimming pool. We thought the Dutch house to be best suited to the more mature guest whereas its partner property(opposite) might be the preferance of younger... More

Like others on this site, we were lucky enough to be asked to move from our original booking for the Sun House. It is indeed probably the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. We were the only people staying - sad for them but lovely for us. Good service, the grounds are attractive but the highlight was definitely the... More
