We were guests at Villa Ema for a week and it was difficult to leave. The villa is beautiful and gives you the feeling of being on holiday but at the same time a bit of home. We don't need to talk about the cleanliness - everything 10/10 and the service too. Every morning there is an insanely great authentic breakfast prepared by the grandmother. The family that manages this accommodation is just great, lovely and they turn every wish into reality. I even got a birthday present at the end. It was a wonderful holiday that I won't forget, we are very grateful for this hospitality and will definitely be back!

Aroshina and her family were incredibly friendly and took us in like their own. We were offered tea or coffee at multiple occasions during the day. We cooked with Aroshina and learned all about the Sri Lankan cuisine which was very helpful for the rest of our travels and it was the best curry I‘ve had since. Aroshina is a super hard-working mom and host, she does everything to make you feel at home. 10/10 recommend!!

Almost everything was great. This is the first time we tried a place like this. Usually we go for a villa but this time we went for a homestay. Both breakfast and dinner were great. The room was clean. This is the first time I saw two pillows per person =D. Really felt like staying at a place that you already know. Also dini galle is placed in a calm area which is great. It's around 4km from galle fort (around 400LKR if you use pickme, around 600-700LKR if you use general tuk tuk)

Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.

Indiko and Shadow (the dog) are great hosts. Indiko takes good care of you and likes to tell you more about his live and living at the beach near Galle. Galle is 10 minutes by tuktuk. The food in the homestay is great.
