The access way to the property which also serves other properties was a bit muddy but this was due to the seasonal monsoon rains.

We enjoyed our time at Ging View Villa. The room was spacious and comfortable with a nice shaded balcony The staff were friendly and very helpful. In particular our host arranged for our Tuktuks to be serviced at a very reasonable price and we really appreciated this. The property has a lovely swimming pool which we enjoyed. The breakfast were very good and overall we had a good time there.

Just off the main road, so no vehicles noise, nice pool area

Wish the municipality will put the access road in shape (this is no blame on the villa owners)

Clean and comfortable rooms with AC. Bathrooms were very clean, with soap, body gel, shampoo, towels provided. Newly built clean pool. Lots of greenery surrounding the property. Generous tasty breakfast. Friendly assisting staff - all family members.

What a great spot. Easy walk to Galle fort. Bed fit for a king with a net around to stop bite, very clean and tidy. The owner is a great man who is very accommodating, kind and good to talk to. Will cook upon request. Not a single bad thing to say. I'll definitely stay here again in the future

You have to cross a busy road, walk over trash and climb over rocks to get to the beach. The beach itself was nice though.

Very clean hotel with several nice sitting areas and a very nice pool. The staff and owners were super friendly and accomodating. We felt very welcome. Food was great. We enjoyed a river safari which the owner arranged for us with one of his neighbors. Another neighbor is a tuktuk driver so it was easy to get to Galle and other places.

We had an exceptional stay at this lovely hotel. The owner was truly amazing—always ready with helpful advice and willing to assist with anything we needed. He even helped arrange transportation for us at a very reasonable price, which made getting around so much easier. The room was spotlessly clean, and we really enjoyed the decent Sri Lankan breakfast each morning. The only downside is that it's a bit far from Galle Fort if you're walking—especially under the hot sun on the main road—but this isn’t a problem if you’re using a tuk tuk. Overall, a wonderful experience and highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

All was perfect.

The accommodation is fantastic Great AC good space in the room and fantastic breakfast. The host accommodated us for a late night arrival from Colombo airport. The taxi service they offered is great and we used them for future trips. The pool is like animal planet you can see lots of different birds even monkeys if you are lucky! I would book again without hesitation!

The shower are needs a shower curtain or door as water does splash onto the toilet leaving the bathroom a bit messy. The breakfast does need improvement as the bread was stale and i saw an ant in the sugar jar. Fruits were very fresh. Coffee was good. Eggs were average as most places are in sri lanka. No shower curtain made the bathroom area messy. My laptop took around 3 hours to get to a 20% charge. I don't think adequate electricity is coming through from the plug points. When charging your phone you have to deal with a few sparks from their adapter.

Great place to stay. Its within walking distance and not far from the fort. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and they arranged a very cheap transfer for me to colombo with an hour stop in bentota. This is not a 5 star place but it provides value for money. I paid 45usd so it was not bad. With a few minor adjustments this place can really be transformed into something special. Its an awesome family run business.

My 8yr old and I stayed here for 3 nights, we loved it. The owners were wonderful and went out of their way to make our stay fantastic. The pictures really don't do the pool area and garden justice. It's really chilled and quiet, the pool is great, covered seating and sun loungers. Plants everywhere, the owners obviously take great care in making everywhere look really nice. We also went on a wildlife and bird watching boat tour organised by the owner. Early morning start just 2 minutes from the accommodation, saw loads of birds including a sea eagle catch a fish right next to us! We took a tuktuk when we first arrived from the train station, but during our stay we walked into the fort area. It was easy to take a bus to other beaches such as Unawatuna and Dewatta. My daughter had a great surf lesson at Dewatta. Highly recommended this place to all!

The breakfast was excellent! The servings were generous and delicious. A great start to the day :). We liked that the hotel was a short distance to town. Away from the noise and bustle but close enough to walk. The owner was helpful and very friendly. The room had everything we needed. Thank you.

Lovely place run by a wonderful family, all very helpful. Room basic but clean with comfy beds and great air conditioning. Lovely pool which was a bonus and much appreciated in the intense heat of Sri Lanka. Good breakfast with fresh fruits and local breakfast foods.

Wow! 10 out of 10! Book this now before it's too late because it really is a gem of a place and a true find. Set a short tuk tuk ride (250Rps) from the fort this delightful homestay has everything, and I mean everything, you could wish for. Set in a lovely secluded area close to the lake and amidst your own mini jungle you can guarantee a peaceful nights sleep. The rooms were amazing! Huge and spotlessly clean with fabulous bathroom, comfortable beds, aircon and views over the delightful garden. There's a lovely swimming pool and tables and chairs in yet another garden area to the side of the property too. However, the truly wonderful thing about Ging View Villa is the family who run it, so lovely and so helpful. Book now to avoid disappointment

After two washes, our things faded and became stained (almost everything we took with us was ruined, minus one star for that), but they didn't take it for that money, thanks

The owner was very friendly, everything was top notch. The rooms are large and comfortable, there is a private terrace, you can take a dip in the pool, large and delicious breakfasts. There is everything for a quiet life here. Photos of garden and rooms are completely true

basically we were satisfied with everything

Very pleasant location with walking access to the beach or lake. Decent size pool gave a great benefit after a busy day. The high ceilings made the rooms look airy. Air conditioning available in the room and the room looked pleasantly clean including the bathroom, which same very much appreciated.
