Really great location with views over the ocean as the name would suggest. The family are really nice! Unfortunately the room looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a while. There are ants everywhere and the bathroom is quite grotty. The toilet is loose so wobbles when sat on. The bed is really comfy and has a mosquito net and... More

We really appreciate this guesthouse in Galle: ideally located to visit the old fort, very nice hosts, very clean place with A/C and mosquito curtain. We opt for the room without view but it was perfect: calm, clean and very comfy. There is a lovely roof terrace where you have breakfast with ocean view. We would strongly recommend this place More

We stayed 3 nights in this guesthouse. The room is clean and the bed is good. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast on the terrace was very good. Sitting on the terracce we had a perfect view over the ocean and the sunsets were amazing. It' a perfect place for a couple of days, exploring the old city... More

Have seldom seen such a view of the ocean from the dining table. The Sunset in the west coast of Galle where the property is located is simple breathtaking. Hues of pink and amber will sketch the sky in a typical never seen before composure. The open rooftop has a splendid view of the ocean and a walking path on... More

After enduring the night from hell at another place, we came across The Ocean View House.As it was a quiet time in Galle we were offered the 2 front double rooms with aircon & hot water for $35.00 each, alternatively we could have paid $45.00 for a twin room but that had no view.The rooms were very clean, aircon worked...

We stayed here initially for 2 nights and the stay was pleasant. Albeit the room was small, it made for a comfortable stay. There's a rooftop terrace which offers extraordinary views. The family who owned it were very sweet and even reserved a room for us (without payment) during their busiest period - Galle Lit Fest. We paid far less... More

Revisited (last stay 2005) for three nights. Nothing changed, still made by the wonderful view of the ramparts and sea from the upstairs front rooms. Rooms small with just adequate bathroom. Good service with excellent breakfast and tea/soft drinks on order. Advertised Wifi only works at one desk in the corridor. Mosquito nets need repairing (or replacing) No alcohol permitted,... More

We paid USD 45 per night for an a/c room without breakfast, expecting a basic but comfortable experience. We were initially given a tiny, claustrophobic, hell-hole of a room. The a/c only recirculated hot air with no cooling effect whatsoever. There was filth by the side of the bed. The curtains were filthy. The bathroom was old, grotty and completely... More
