We stayed at Mango House in late January, though they informed us they would be shutting down for months for a huge renovation. So, this review is pre-renovation... But, we didn't really understand what needed renovating. We only paid 3000 Rs ($22) for our upstairs balcony (tiny) room with a/c, after prebooking via email. It was a darling little four-poster...

Last chance for a room in the Fort and they charged accordingly. Book ahead ata more popular guesthouse. Hosts were nice enough but didn't offer anything other than the room. No offer of breakfast or any other meal, for instance, and whilst the fan didn't work in Rm 9, the owner didn't do anything about it so it probably still... More

The House is located within the walled city. From there you can walk to all the interesting places that Galle has to offer. The area is plenty of good restaurants. Unawatuna beach is just a 10 min. tuk tuk drive. The room is confortable and clean. The owner can arrange the AirPort transfer to Colombo which is very convenient. The... More

Even if the house is very well situated in Galle Fort, the rooms did not correspond to the booking. 3 beds for a family with 3 kids...and the juice of the breakfast was done with tap water. The bathroom had a leak even in my parent's room.

A bit disappointed after the great reviews..... Service was impersonal, the (downstairs) room felt a bit damp and was quite cramped and it took a lot of fiddling to get hot water. However, the location was nice and central, the bed was big and very comfy and the wifi was the best we've had in Sri Lanka

This place is located at the heart of Galle fort.We took a tuk tuk from the bus stand and it took us hardly 3-5 mins and 150 LKR to reach the place.From the first glance of the guest house you would feel a homely atmosphere and true it is(it is run by a family headed by Thilina).Thilina is a very...

We travel with 4 children and was here one night to see Galle. This guesthouse has a warm family feeling and we felt taken care of and safe. The guesthouse is within easy walking distance to many interesting places and good shopping/ cafe area. We actually forgot our Ipad in the open livingroom, when we left and 7 minutes later... More

Recently visited Unawatuna in Sri Lanka and stayed at Mango House Villa for three weeks. The accommodation was faultless and we were greeted and looked after by fantastic hosts in Shaun and Becky who were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They also arranged our pick-up from the airport and hire bikes etc. The rooms were clean, spacious and kept tidy,... More

This was my first time in Sri Lanka and despite having tried to learn as much as possible about the country and its features, both on-line and through several books and travel guides, I found it pretty hard to get a hold of things at first. My friend found Mango House Hotel on-line and we booked a room for two... More

Loads of Cardiff curry houses but not many in City centre. This is surely the best. Been there about a dozen times- always good but even better midweek when not so busy. The Boss, Adnan is very hands on. Nothing is too much trouble for him to arrange. For instance, onion salad which I love does not appear on the... More
