Perfect for a romantic get away. Excellent service and great breakfast as well. AC super cold for hot humid days. No bar, and it was a little weird having to have them open and close the main door each time you came and went. They were prompt in doing so, but still a little weird. The fort area of Galle is small but unique. You could walk all the streets and do all the shops in a couple of hours. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane 22 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Delightful Thambili House! Had a wonderful stay at Thambili House. We stayed in The Ginger Room which was very spacious, spotlessly clean and had a nice balcony over looking the small pool. Ideal place to relax and cool off in after a morning exploring the Fort. Mr Lakmal was exceptionally accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. The house is a fine example of an old Spice Traders House. Our only slight disappointment was we couldn’t sit and see the sea from the house. I had mistakenly thought we could but this is just from the other room. However, the house is ideally located in the Fort and seconds away from all the restaurants and other amenities the Fort and surrounding area has to offer. ##### Jane Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie 19 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The house is gorgeous, the service was excellent, the bed extra comfy, the terrace beautiful and the breakfast amazing.

Servicen var super, vi fikk også en oppgradering av rom pga ledighet. Vi spiste god sri lankisk middag på hotellet og koste oss ved bassenget. Litt problemer med vanntilførsel og strøm, men det ble fikset så fort vi sa i fra. ##### Anne Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Roger 27 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Beautiful building, poor service Beautiful building. Catering not great. Stay spoilt by staff desperate to charge us 25 USD each for breakfast, when it was included in the room price - even to the point where the supervisor would not let us check out until he had confirmation from the manager that we did not have to pay for breakfast.Not 5 star service for a 5 star price. ##### Roger ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zaynab 17 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Home away from home It's like your own house! Private, bespoke and custom. Love it ##### Zaynab Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julien, london 14 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Short stay in Galle The hotel itself is not bad for a boutique hote, pretty guest, only 3 rooms. We based our booking on the picture of the room. In real the room was very small with no windows! so we felt very oppressed. We asked to change room but the 3 others were already booked. We booked 3 nights but we left after 2. As a guest house not a lot or room to sunbathe. So should you want to book this hotel, get the room with windows at least ##### Julien Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hôtel des Saints-Pères](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Des-Saints-Peres.h8089748.Hotel-Information) > > [Asakusa View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Asakusa-View-Hotel.h15413635.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Marbella City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marbella-City-Centre-Marbella-Hotels.0-n553248633937780849-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chalet Hôtel Régina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Les-Gets-Hotels-Chalet-Hotel-Regina.h6577790.Hotel-Information) > > [Jolly Anglers Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendal-Hotels-Jolly-Anglers-Inn.h38830784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza London- Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crawley-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-London-Gatwick-Airport.h11496.Hotel-Information) > > [Lux Lisboa Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Lux-Lisboa-Park.h12016492.Hotel-Information) > > [XO Hotels City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-XO-Hotels-City-Centre.h19255020.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel El Duque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adeje-Hotels-El-Duque-Aparthotel.h58920264.Hotel-Information) > > [Ascot House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrogate-Hotels-Ascot-House-Hotel.h384722.Hotel-Information) > > [Punta Caliza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isla-Holbox-Hotels-Punta-Caliza.h20359058.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Kolymbia Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Leonardo-Kolymbia-Resort-All-Inclusive.h3625684.Hotel-Information) > > [Warwick Geneva](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Geneva-Hotels-Warwick-Geneva.h15089.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Timehri (GEO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/geo/london-to-georgetown) > > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Cape Town (CPT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/cpt/bristol-to-cape-town) > > [Flights from Doha (DOH) to Sydney (SYD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/doh/syd/doha-to-sydney) ### Cars > [Car hire in Limerick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Limerick.d4891.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Minivan Car Hire in Miami](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minivan-Car-Rentals-In-Miami-Intl.d4278605-tMinivan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Car hire in Moissac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Moissac.d6034964.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Da Nang](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Da-Nang.d974.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Baltic Sea Coast Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Baltic-Sea-Coast.d6051329.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Passeig de Gràcia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Passeig-De-Gracia-Eixample.d6165453.Attraction) > > [Ben Nevis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ben-Nevis-Fort-William.d6088731.Attraction) > > [Cairo Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo.d178243.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Aran Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aran-Islands.dx6177870) > > [Visit Paraguay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paraguay.dx143) > > [Visit Acapulco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Acapulco.dx179991)
