It's not far from the shopping street, just a 5-minute walk. The surrounding temples may be a bit too quiet in the dark. The hotel is not big and only has 4 rooms. It is better to stay upstairs as there are many mosquitoes near the swimming pool. Very quiet stay

The service was really great. Although it was not easy to find the hotel for the first time and the door was still closed, the butler had a really good sense of service. He introduced us to the local features and answered our questions about the train seriously. It felt like we were on vacation.

It is very convenient to visit the ancient city. The room is very spacious and relatively secluded. The staff are very good and the breakfast is very rich. It is a great experience.

The room is in typical colonial style with high ceilings. There are small animals around. I saw monkeys, squirrels, and lizards. Especially breakfast, it is rich and ritualistic.

This hotel is the most impressive and satisfying one in the entire Sri Lankan itinerary. It completely exceeded expectations and surpassed the other two heritage hotels in my heart. The hotel has only 4 rooms with English-style butler service. It is very quiet and can provide better services. You can choose the breakfast you want according to your own taste (there are local style, Western European style and various options). You can tell the housekeeper the meal time and food the day before, and the next morning will be specially made for you and delivered to the room or in the room. The open-air dining bar at the entrance, anyway, the overall service is butler-style, plus the overall decoration style, this kind of style has only been seen in British dramas before, I really love this kind of place, if it is not for the next day, I really want to If you stay for a few more days, Galle itself is a bit similar to Gulangyu Island in China. It is very suitable for a leisurely vacation, and this kind of butler service is really relaxing.

Just finished an amazing three night stay at Taru Villas. We had the most fantastic time, it was like having our own private villa! Brilliant location and even better staff. All of the food we had during our stay was fantastic, especially the curry (never seen so much food!). Amazing to see the family of monkeys that frequently visited the property - even gave one a banana! We would 100% return.

The most splendid wonderful hotel experience that misses luxury with authenticity. In the perfect location to enjoy Galle in the middle of Galle fort is a quiet and delightful tranquil haven. Only 4 rooms and 7 adorable staff. Exquisitely furnished in Sri Lankan style with the pretence of western plastic luxury. Our room was massive (one of the two upstairs rooms). The Sri Lanka breakfast sustained us all day, the dinners were equally excellent. The staff were ever present, but attentive without pushiness. Adored every second

This is unquestionably a beautiful and charming place to stay. There is ample space to relax in as well as a pool. The staff are simply wonderful; incredibly polite, friendly and always willing to help. The breakfasts are just great, we opted to what was referred to as the ‘Western breakfast’, which included fresh fruit, juice , tea and coffee and then a range of choices including: poached eggs, full English, & French toast. The location was excellent, minutes from the old fort and restaurants. A great place!

Visiting Galle forte is a must, it’s completely different to the other areas of Sri Lanka that we visited. I’m surprised that Taru Villas isn’t number 1 on trip advisor. We were greeted by the manager Shanika with a warm towel and the best tasting ice lolly to refresh us after our journey. Shanika showed us around the boutique hotel , probably the most beautiful hotels of our Kiki tour of Sri Lanka as was our room - We stayed in the upstairs garden facing room, WOW .. The hotel 4 rooms and a small pool , partly in the sun through the day . Very peaceful and tranquil, and the monkeys visit to keep you entertained. Subject to the times that you choose to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner, you eat with the other guests and Shanika will offer you Sri Lankan or European options . The food and service served by Akalanka and Ravrinda was exceptional always with smile. Shame 5 is the maximum score possible! If you visit Galle you have to stay here! Thanks for a wonderful 2 night stay.

From the moment we arrived we felt incredibly lucky to have chosen this beautiful hotel. The staff are warm and friendly and welcoming. The garden room we stayed in was amazing and we saw monkeys jumping across the roof outside the windows which was incredible. The room was beautiful and we loved the large veranda. Meals were delicious and served at a shared dining table and cooked to order. The fish and chips I had was delicious and the Sri Lankan breakfast choices also incredibly tasty. An easy walk onto the ramparts to see the sea and to enjoy the fort to its fullest. I have only praise for this beautiful hotel.

We spent two nights here as part of our tour of Sri Lanka. We loved it here! Located in the middle of Galle Fort, it is a little oasis of calm. While you inevitably can hear the city around you, it is a lovely tranquil space with the rooms located around a pool. The staff are friendly, attentive and provide the best service possible. The building is Dutch colonial which has been beautifully preserved. Our room had a four poster bed and period furniture which matched the style of the building. Breakfast is served at a large shared dining table overlooking the pool. It is selected from a menu which has a good choice of western and Sri Lankan food and is served at the table. All of the sights of Galle Fort are within easy reach, as are the shops, cafes and restaurants. We would have loved to have stayed longer.
