Medical Student from Germany
We are two medical students from Germany who stayed here while working at Karapitiya General Hospital. The apartment was absolutely fantastic—spacious, comfortable, and very well-equipped with all the essentials for a longer stay. We especially appreciated the excellent privacy and always felt comfortable at home. The host was extremely kind, helpful, quick to respond, and always supportive. The value of this apartment is definitely higher than the price. We can fully recommend this place!

This is the place you'd definitely want to stay in. For me, it started with meeting a host who showed me the surroundings of the town and even met me at the train station - a big thanks to him for that 🙏 The place itself is top notch: very spacious, clean and has everything one might need to feel like home. Spacious is not the word for it, for just myself it was too big and I didn't even use half of the premises. For 2 people it's more than enough too. Worth every penny, if you ask me. Just note that you pay for the internet, electricity and water on your own.

A great accommodation in a central yet very quiet location in Galle. Clean and equipped with everything you need (kitchen, washing machine, bedroom with ACs…). The accommodation was already recommended to me by a friend, and I was completely satisfied as well. Suhail is very attentive and helpful. He regularly checks in to see if everything is okay, and you can tell that he genuinely cares about making sure you feel comfortable. I stayed in the apartment for an extended period during my medical elective appointment in Karapitiya. It takes only 10 minutes to get to both the clinic and the beach. With all that in mind, I can definitely recommend the accommodation!
