"This place is a gem. The location is PERFECT, beautiful shops and restaurants right on your doorstep and close to the fort. Its in a lovely historic building with the most beautiful woodwork and interior. We had the family room which had two large and comfortable beds. The internet works fantastically - I was able to do a zoom call for work with no issues or delays. Lovely kind staff."

"We loved staying here, we extended our stay by nearly a week! The rooms are clean and comfortable. The view of the ocean is fantastic, and I've never seen such beautiful sunsets. The kitchen was simple, but had everything we needed. The staff and owners were lovely. I want to thank Sandy specifically because when my partner injured her foot, Sandy helped tremendously. She brought some aloe plants from her home and helped us apply it. She is such a genuinely kind person.

"Ein Aufenthalt bei Ravana beach ist wie zu Hause ankommen. Ravi ist sehr fürsorglich und herzlich.
Wir wurden mit Kaffee auf der Terasse verwöhnt und jedes Essen, ob Frühstück oder Abendessen (1x hatten wir Barbecue) war super lecker!
Wir kommen gerne wieder 😌"

I would rate "Insight" at 5 stars. Heaps of reasons to do so, especially because of the professional and attentive staff. However, I can only give them 4.9 stars... the music selection does not match the hotel environment. It's a beachfront hotel with a lot of surfers, but they play old Roy Orbison and Elvis music. Also, they play random Italian music. It's not bad music, it just doesn't fit the property. My opinion is they should have something more Bali Lounge / Bali Chill style. It would make...

I rented an Airbnb in unawatuna which ended up turning in an awful experience. I had to find a new place last minute and I was really happy when I arrived to snooze. It’s clean, the boss is a respectful and kind person who is available to help guests when in need, the room was spacious with ac and hot water. Ended up paying half of what I paid for the Airbnb nightmare. I extended another night at snooze. I definitely recommend it specifically if you’re a woman traveling alone as I am.

We stayed here for one night. The location was perfect, right in the center of the Galle fort area with plenty of good restaurants, and the ocean beach and viewpoints nearby. The owners were very homely and helpful. We were leaving early next morning, and they packed us some cookies and cakes to eat on the way before the breakfast places open. Nice and comfortable stay, will recommend strongly.

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Shore Beach Villa. It’s important to note that this is a private villa rather than a hotel, making it perfect for those looking for a self-catering experience. The views are incredible and it’s very close to Jungle Beach.
The owner was exceptionally responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The only minor downside is the spotty WiFi. To be fair, the owners have tried their best by installing two different providers, but the signal...

We had a room with 2 double beds and a large bathroom with semi outdoor shower. If you are bothered by insects, this might not be the place for you as you can't avoid them coming into the bathroom, but we didn't mind. :-) The beds have mosquito nets, so no problem! The place is very spacious with garden/porch, feels very safe! A bit hard to find as there are no signs on the main road and only a small sign at the entrance gate. It's a great location though, 1 min from the beach, a small shop...

Excellent! We were surprised by this how nice this was. Clean, comfortable rooms that even had a fridge, and air conditioning was nice and strong. The breakfast was wonderful. The location also is great--delightful strolls around the fort and old town, with its many shops, restaurants and museums; also easy access to the nearby train station, or a short tultuk ride to the beach areas of Unawatuna!
