We completely loved this accomodation. Location was perfect, as we came by train and left by bus, it was walking distance everywhere. Whole property is super cool with nice touches that makes it very cozy. Room was extremely spacious with very comfortable huge bed. I liked balcony with nice seating area, which we did not have time to use :) . Whole style of hotels gives you nice colonial vibes, which is so typical for this town, so it just perfectly completed whole feeling from this Sri Lankan historical gem. Stuff was super nice always have nice words for us and helped us with all the questions we had.

Our stay at Olinda Galle was simply perfect! The property is stunning, with a truly special swimming pool. The garden is beautiful and well-maintained, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The room decor was elegant and thoughtfully designed, adding to the charm of the place. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Everything was flawless—we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Highly recommended.

Really beautiful hostel and super clean! It’s tucked away from the town but nice to be in a quiet and peaceful spot, and is an easy tuk tuk ride to Unawatuna and Galle. The owner is super lovely and happy to help out!

Darshi, Oshi and their three kids who live on the property were the most amazing hosts. Darshi is a phenomenal cook. The food was out of this world!! If you asked for a particular dish, it was delivered! Sri Lankan hospitality at its best. We also learnt much about the local culture from Darshi and Oshi.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The villa and rooms are very clean. The pool area is very relaxing and super clean, which you dont always see in the areas hotels. Breakfast is great and big! A bit outside Galle center but easy and cheap to move around with tuktuk. Location is nice because there is no big streets nearby so its quiet and peaceful.

We made the booking in the last minute. And we arrived early so of course our room was not ready. We were okey with it, we just wanted to put our bags to any place. But they gave us a temporary room. And they said we'd stay as long as we wanted. They brought us avocado juice and then tea with pancake. We weren't expect this hospitality because we stayed many places in Sri Lanka. We rest in the temporary room and then they get our room ready. We are really surprized when we saw the room. Because it's so huge and has everything. We really felt like at home. This people are extraordinary. We extended our stay and second and third day we were trying to complete the payment. They didn't want us to make the payment right away. They said we could do it whenever we were available. Finally, on the third day, we were able to pay, and although they brought us a lot of food, tea, snacks, they did not ask for the payment for them. They said "you are our guest" ❤️ The family are so kind and very friendly 🙏 we wish to stay here again❤️ A big thank you for everything! We appreciate what you did in our stay🙏 If you want to know more info about the room, ıt was so huge and clean. All furnitures are new and in good condition. Actually they just started to rent this place. So you can be sure everything is new and very clean. If you can ask, they can bring you a kettle. Also the family has a mini market in the entry. You can buy anything with a good price. You can be sure that they will do everything in their power to make you comfortable. You won't find such service even in a much more expensive place. I hope if you come to Galle you will choose Silver Rail based on the satisfaction of all reviews. I recommend it wholeheartedly. We rate this place 10/10000000000000000000👌

Beautiful hotel interior. All staff are very friendly and always smiling. It was nice that there was beach access. The attentiveness of the staff is what really made it stand out like contacting us before we arrived to ensure we were all set and they helped organise our activities. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others

Breakfast wasn't included but there are so many eateries within a few minutes walk away. The location couldn't have been better within Galle Fort. It was a very gracious & stylish villa to stay in. The room & bathroom are huge with clean, fluffy white towels provided daily. The manager, Mr Azwaan, and his assistant, Ashan, made us feel like honoured guests. They made our stay comfortable and relaxing.

Train Boossa then Tuk Tuk to guest house worked well. Right on the beach with a lovely sea breeze and sunsets from local bar. Lovely family run property. Saman was friendly and extremely helpful and we did a tour with him which we enjoyed a lot.

The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.
