Before this, I booked Natural Cabanas & Floating Restaurant for three nights through *************, but after one night I felt something was wrong. Don't hesitate to escape this hotel. Although I paid for two extra nights, my mood was completely different.
I won’t write too many comments about the above-mentioned hotels. I just hope that Ctrip will never use them to harm others.
And at April Dickson Villa, you can have peace of mind.

We stayed at this hotel as part of a longer trip in Sri Lanka. This was the best hotel - the rooms are nice and spacious, the food is good and the staff is outstanding. The were really friendly and helped us with everything. We would love to come back.

Loved this place, it has a lot of personality. There are nicer but more expensive places in Galle, and there are cheaper and more run down places. This is the Goldilocks choice. It's a lovely little hotel with a few broken things in every room. In the hot off season, the shared areas are like sitting in a sauna, but there's a little garden pool to cool off in. The perfect walking distance to the fort, short eats, and every morning a different Sri Lankan breakfast. Proper tea service, small but attentive staff. The manager is so helpful, I was here for three things, touring Galle, a unique part of Sri Lanka, locating and visiting some locations where my late father grew up and went to college, and a bit of a religious pilgrimage. The manager, who speaks 5 languages, was ever so helpful in all three aspects of my visit. Up the hill are two more elegant hotels for dinner, down the hill are some really cheap local places to eat, don't miss lunch at the Ministry of Agriculture/ ministry of education canteen. Okay for an overnight, but I would recommend this one of a kind hotel for a few days stay. Especially in the off-season.

The best place to stay in Galle. I only stayed here for 3 nights but I would love to call this place ‘a home.’ The place is cozy,the room is big and clean. Breakfast was lovely and prepared by Iflal,a manager. Swimming pool is cool. Located very near to Dutch Galle Fort. Near fruit market and local stores. You may take a tuk tuk or even asked a hotel to arrange everything for you. Could not thanks enough for mr. Iflal and his team. They made my stay was so comfortable and I feel safe like home. (I am a female solo traveler) but I really sleep safe and sound in this villa. Whenever you need helps,the staff are there for you and they really gives you the best solution. Feel like home ;) and will definitely go back there again.

Fantastic place to stay in Galle, spacious rooms, incredible staff led by Iflal, great air conditioning and a pool. The Villa is located conveniently in walking distance from the old fort. The breakfast made by Iflal was a highlight and some of the best food I’ve had in Sri Lanka (I recommend the traditional breakfast option). For the price, this place is exceptional value for money. Would absolutely stay here again!

The hotel is run by Iflal who is one of most hospitable and helpful people I have ever met, also great fun! He organised transport and trips with genuine honest friendly local people at very reasonable prices. Great breakfast and accompanying music., and he even put up the English flag during my stay that had been given to him by the Barmy Army! Hotel on a hill overlooking Galle but a few mins from the fort. Top floor room was huge with great aircon and big outside terrace looking over Galle. Went to rooftop restaurant at the Lady Hill a couple of hundred yards up the road which has spectacular views of Galle, and out to sea.

Stunning villa and very well equipped. Few meter away from the Galle fort . Great staff especially the manager was amazingly helpful . They reopened this property few months ago and the Restuarant wasn’t operating . I’m sure when they do they will do good . Thanks for a nice stay . Cheers will definitely be back
