This is a lovely historic house presented with style and charm, and high standards. The staff provide the best service and are very attentive. Setting is just gorgeous with visiting shy groups of purple-faced leaf monkeys and peacocks passing through along the high walls and trees from time as you sit in the cool palm filled courtyards. And added, an excellent menu with both traditional and modern mix so well presented and tasty served in a lovely restaurant-bar setting on the deep verandahs.

Kind and attentive staff. Fantastic location for exploring the old fort area of Galle and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets and crescent moon. Very good food, carefully prepared. Decorative and photogenic. Upgraded to a room with a courtyard, which was unexpected and very welcome.

This property was centrally located to access the wonders of Galle Fort, but set in a quiet lane away from the main foot traffic. The Courtyard and entry to the property burst with colour and wonderful scents. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast options were the best we came across in Sri Lanka. The rooms were clean but moderate in size with limited space for large luggage.

とても可愛く居心地の良いホテル

小さいホテルなのですが、ホテルに着いた瞬間から、可愛い〜🎵の連発でした。スタッフの対応もとても良く、客室も綺麗に設えられていました。 ガルの街自体がとても小さいのですが、それでも街の中心部に位置しているのは観光にも最適でした。またガルに行くなら、絶対にここに泊まります。 残念なことが1つあるとすれば、冷蔵庫がないこと。でも、ホテルにはバーが併設されているので、バーが自分の冷蔵庫だと思えば、いつでも冷えたビールを飲むことはできます。（笑）

Overpriced and theft during stay No accountability

Overall this was the worst quality room and most expensive of our entire Sri Lanka trip. The toilet didn’t flush and the room was extremely small overall. The biggest problem was that on the final morning of our stay, we left the room for two hours to get breakfast and when we returned my backpack was obviously tampered with. My phone charger was outside my bag and had been put inside, with the bag subsequently zipped up. I was disturbed but also didn’t immediately notice anything was missing at the time (computer, camera and other valuables still present) and carried on traveling as our driver was waiting us outside. A few hours after leaving in the next city I noticed $400 of cash was taken from my bag and I realized it had definitely occurred at Mango House during the housekeeping hours. I brought this to the attention of the hotel management and they offered zero apologies. The owner exchanged WhatsApp’s with me and also offered no apologies and continuously said it was my fault for not keeping it in the safe. While I agree maybe I am the idiot, realize I stayed in four other properties during my trip in Sri Lanka and ALL had surveillance cameras. This one did not and had very bad and clumsy locks on the doors, especially given the price of the room. Avoid this place at all costs, if not only for lack of professionalism and accountability on the part of the ownership. Was a regrettable end to 10 fabulous days in Sri Lanka.
