We were travelling to Sri Lanka in December/January and, because it is really busy at that time of year, booked far in advance (in August). We booked Mrs. Khalid's through hostelworld.com. Everything seemed great from the reviews and from our (MULTIPLE) email contacts with the staff. When we got to Galle, however, we found that the guest house was closed... More

This is a colonial style building with wooden floors and beds. Don't listen to the Lonely Planet - the genial manager, Sabri, didn't mind when we came home at 4am in the morning on New Year's Eve (2010). We missed breakfast the next day,  but he whisked up a tasty brunch for us at 3pm. The location of the Guest House is great,... More

Home from home - very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, clean and large room, comfortable bed, quiet, good position in Galle near the outer sea wall. Mrs Khalid's son kindly allowed us to use his computer and internet connection whenever required. We also employed the driver to take us back to the airport - well worth while, quick,cheap. safe and comfortable. More

I've stayed at Mrs. Khalid's five or six different times in the past two years. I've stayed there alone, I've stayed there with spouse and teenagers. It's perfect: clean, bright, quiet, easy. Meals are fun and delicious. I've met many fellow guests there who are also really delightful people. Mrs. Khalid is a sweetheart, her son is very pleasant and... More

Mrs Khalid's is exactly what I want of a guest house - well positioned (in the Fort area, right by the sea walls), spotlessly clean, simply furnished, the owner provides the right degree of friendliness and privacy. The food was always excellent, the sheets crisp white cotton. Perhaps it is more to the taste of slightly older travellers as it... More

Fort Galle is a very enchanting and special place and staying at Mrs.Khalids just made my trip absolutely delightful! What a charming guesthouse! The rooms are spotless and cosy (I had other experiences during my trip, paying more.....). The manager is very friendly and helps you where he can, just ask and you`ll get good advice about tours around Galle.... More

I am not someone who likes luxurious vacations in expensive hotels, that's why I felt very good in the guest house of mrs. Khalid. My room was at the back of the guest house so very quiet, just right for one person, the room has his own bathroom with toilet. Early in the morning you make a walk along the... More

I've stayed 4 times over about 10 years. The owners family and staff are attentive and helpful. Lata the cook is excellent and have confidence in the honesty of all. There's been nothing but assistance and good information given. I have made this hotel in Galle my base for visits to Sri Lanka and always feel that the visit is... More

That was the second time I stayed at Mrs Khalid's Guest House in wonderful Galle. That time I stayed twice, 5 days and 2days, and both times were just like the first time wonderful. Sabrik and his mother are really nice. But i guess the most important things are the rooms which are lovely, well decorated and absolutely spotless clean.... More
