We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Sielen Diva. We loved the property with its open layout, wonderful views and proximity to the beach. George and the whole team were so attentive and service was superb. Food was a real treat with brilliant hopper breakfasts setting us up for the day. We tried the seafood platter one night which was superb, as were the other seafood dishes, and the rice & curry was probably the best we had in two weeks in Sri Lanka (daily scientific testing) -thanks so much to the chef. The location was excellent - easy to get into Unawatuna or Galle (to visit or for dinner). Special mention must go to the shower in our room. We love a long drop shower - at 15ft+ it was brilliant!

Dear Charlie, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review, the team are most appreciative. We are so glad you loved the villa, its location, our service and the meals our Chefs prepared for you. We will most definitely pass on your compliments to our Chefs. They always ensure the freshest produce is used and fish is sourced fresh from the local markets or the fishermen on our beach stretch. We especially love the attention given to the shower. You are the first guest to compliment us on the long drop shower so this is very special. We very much hope to be able to welcome you again to Villa Sielen Diva. Please do keep in touch as we love hearing from past guests. Kind regards, The Sielen Diva Family

Sielen Diva is a beautiful and cozy boutique hotel. We loved the staff, our room, the view, the pool and the beach. But above all we loved the food made by the chef. Every meal was a highlight of the day. The last evening we were the only guests and they organised a romantic candle light dinner for us. It was amazing and we miss everybody there.

The hotel is a great base for Unawatuna Galle including the fort and Marissa secret beach all of which were fantastic trips out and a short car ride. There is a nice walk along the beach to a safer swimming area and my daughter spotted a couple of turtles en route. It is a small hotel that is wonderfully peaceful and restful away from the hustle and felt very safe with attentive security. There is a high number of staff to guests and they are all exceptional. We were extremely well taken care of in all respects, nothing was too much trouble; but we were given space to do as we please. The room was spacious with very comfortable beds. The outside pool was lovely and the sun beds comfortably shaded. There is an extensive range of food and drinks available. Our favourites were the breakfast pancakes and the Sri Lankan curry and Sri Lankan breakfast. We also loved the cocktails. The standard of the food is exceptional and better than where we ate out locally. It really was a wonderful place to stay and we had a lovely time. Thank you so much. Our family are 2 daughter in their 20s and a mum in 40s.…

The property itself is breathtaking, let alone the location! The beach out the front is clean and the waves are huge - we spent hours watching them. Not only that but the actual villa is stunning with infinity pool (great temperature) and towels provided, incredible views from the bedroom all the amenities you could want including robe, flip flops, comfy bed and even a beach bag and hats (I'm not sure if they were for decoration or borrowing!). The chef and menu was amazing too and they always set the table for us for breakfast, lunch and dinner, even if we weren't going to be there - food was amazing, especially the pancakes! Aside from this, the staff were lovely and welcoming, we arrived early and they accommodated our checkin early which was kind, and they linked us to a really nice Tuk Tuk driver who ended up being our guide! All in all, the best trip ever.…

We recently stayed at Siemens Diva, and I cannot recommend this place anymore, if I could give it a higher review I would. Firstly and most importantly, the hotel is stunning as it suggests from the photographs, but what sets this place apart is the staff, Hasantha and George especially made my stay here amazing as it was my partners birthday and they put on everything amazingly and effortlessly. They go above and beyond in every aspect of your stay you feel like royalty but it is also so effortless for them and always to make your stay as comfortable as it can be. The staff across the whole property are amazing and they all deserve a mention. The hotel itself is on stunning grounds, immediately backing onto a stunning beach was lovely to take a stroll down. The rooms offer a view which could be put in a gallery. The pool is a great size and again gives great views. Room is cleaned daily. The massage service and other activities they offer are also top notch. There are so many small gestures which don’t go unnoticed from popsicles when it’s really hot, to fresh aloe Vera when you’ve been in the sun a bit too much the previous day and it these things which show the staff across the hotel care. Whilst I didn’t get the chefs name, he deserves a huge mention too as the food is honestly some of the best food I have ever had, especially the biryani which I highly recommend. From breakfast to dinner, you couldn’t fault a dish. Having stayed in places across Europe, Asia, America, I can easily state you will not receive a better service anywhere, and if there is I am yet to find it. The best way to finish this review is with a really big thank you as it’s deserved and i can’t wait to come back!…

The staff of the hotel exceeded our expectations. We booked through booking.com however the hotel already got in touch to make sure we had a smooth and welcoming arrival. We got to the villa at 4am, the Manager George was there to meet us. Everything is perfect, from the food to the service to the view. It is a dream place. The food is like homemade, high quality and best as they serve it with a smile. Thank you Sielen Diva crew, you guys are all amazing!! Can’t recommend this villa enough. It’s a gem in Talpe.

We stayed at Sielen Diva for a couple of nights on our honeymoon and loved it. The location is fantastic - right on the beachfront and close to the nearby towns of Unawatuna and Galle. It felt like we had our own private beach, while also having great access to the local sights and amenities. Our room was huge and had a lovely big bathroom. The large window also provided a fantastic sea view each morning. We were well looked after during our stay, and the staff were very attentive. Thoughtful touches, like welcome mocktails, ice lollies, and a honeymoon cake made us feel extra special. I would highly recommend Sielen Diva for luxury, comfort and relaxation.
