What I'm sure was once a wonderful hotel has been left by its new owner to turn into a dirty and unloved state. The rooms are full of ants, mouldy shower curtains hang at a window instead of blinds, lights only omit a dim light or flicker uncontrollably, toilets leak through walls into bedrooms when flushed, aircons are stuck on one setting, the grass around the pool has disappeared to leave concrete... Our room had a frog on top of the shower and when we complained they offered to move us but the alternative was a room with a birds nest in the light fitting! The workers have been left to pick up the complaints whilst the owner is out of the country. It's such a shame as it could be a lovely hotel as it has a great size swimming pool (rare to find in Galle) and some lovely seated areas around the garden. It just needs some money put in and the staff to care for it. Avoid until it is renovated or sold on to someone who actually cares. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3C5E7BD7FF002CA742052533ECE8A4DAE271D03F1579340116795.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melanie Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Lena Dec 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fint ställe mkt lungt passar för retreat.

Hotel is run down and old. Only two tables for breakfast so had to wait ages for someone to finish. Possible 2\* hotel. Nothing like the photos at all. Really bad WiFi and felt pressured into giving the receptionist money for her daughter. ##### Nadine Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 8, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were really nice, helpful and friendly. The property is a little bit out of town so they arranged a tuk tuk driver to take us to and from Galle fort area. That was helpful as we used the same guy over and again as he knew how to get to the property (its a bit off the beaten track). My room had ants in the bathroom but other than that we were very happy staying there and would stay there again. The pool looked delightful and was well utilised by other guests. We were just a bit too busy to use it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### pascal, Nanted Mar 11, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Magique Un lieu magnifique reposant avec un personnel admirable et d’une gentillesse absolue après des visites et escapades cela est l’endroit idéal pour ce reposer ##### pascal Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark Feb 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend for independent travellers It's a lovely haven of peace and quiet, some way from local amenities. Tuk tuk to Galle is 300 rupees, which is pretty OK. The rooms are comfortable, air conditioning, WiFi, and a kitchenette / living room and balcony on the bigger room. The pool is great, and breakfast is nice and simple. Galle and area is the best place on Sri Lanka, so much to do. Finally, lots of wildlife at the hotel - Monitor lizards, chit-chats, monkeys, beautiful birds, frogs etc. ##### Mark Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Kent Jan 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Underbar personal Väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam personal, de var underbara!

But need more sign boards to locate the place ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Antony Nov 12, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don't do it Absolutely awful, too many problems to mention. My video of the room made my wife say that she wouldn't even have unpacked her bag. ##### Antony Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Iranga Aug 28, 2018 #### Lovely garden amd helpful and friendly staff Its located a couple of miles away from the city. You will need private transport unless the hotel or you can call a taxi. The property has a few new rooms but the majority are old and needs improving or upgrading. Its more like a large house that has seen better days. Lovely manicured garden. Staff is helpful and friendly. I dont think they have had formal training in the leisure sector. ##### Iranga Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### stein Aug 23, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### stein Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 21, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Remote and quiet, condition is fair I agreed with all other travellers' comment. Good of this hotel: The hotel is in a remote area. You feel like living in the nature with facilities. This hotel has a nice swimming pool, a lot of greens and nice people. Good for those planning to stay most of the time in the hotel for relax and quiet time. They can provide shuttle to take you to city centre. Breakfast is made to order with eggs, sausage, toast and fruit. Wifi is fair because of location. Even phone connection goes on and off occasionally. This hotel is managed by a small team. If you judge them by resort/luxury hotel standard, they are not that level. If you judge them by local standard, they are doing their best. Bad of this hotel: this hotel is up in the mountain. Even tuk tuk driver doesn't know where it is until calling the hotel. It is completely dark after sunset. The fatalities and condition of the room is poor. Spacious without many furniture. There are both bathtub and shower. But bathtub and closet are quite rusty. Water pressure is bad. Only cold water. If you turn it to hot water, it comes out drop by drop. Conclusion: if you plan to be more local in a nature and stay in hotel for most of the time, it is the place for you. One thing should be highlighted is their staff. Super friendly to talk with anytime you see them. And they would make sure that you are able to do whatever tourist thing you like. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1080-p731aa340-fe6f-11e7-badd-aa76e492b6a4-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1888-p96025650-fe6f-11e7-badd-aa76e492b6a4-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s261-pc7641760-fe6f-11e7-b010-0242fed17ade-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s306-pbd7780c0-fe6f-11e7-b010-0242fed17ade-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily Aug 13, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### High quality service The service at Leijay was exceptional. We enjoyed the large garden which had a wide variety of plants to look at, it was well maintained. The staff were very helpful and assisted in arranging tours and transport. Breakfast was good and filling. The pool was welcome after a day in Galle. ##### Emily Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### flow , paris Jan 30, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Un havre de paix Calme et reposant Service de l'hôtel très bien Tout est parfait ##### flow ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Novotel Toronto North York](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Novotel-Toronto-North-York.h16456.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Calgary-Calgary-Hotels.0-n6057872-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.ca/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Avalon Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Avalon-Inn.h9262352.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Mission Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Mission-Beach-Hotels.0-l506109-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Perce Rock](https://www.expedia.ca/Perce-Rock-Hotels.0-l6125684-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [TownePlace Suites by Marriott Orlando Theme Parks/Lake Buena Vista](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-By-Marriott-Orlando-Theme-ParksLake-Buena-Vista.h23396738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Leamington](https://www.expedia.ca/Leamington-Hotels.d10224.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [FOX JAFFNA by Fox Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-FOX-JAFFNA-By-Fox-Resorts.h17399149.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sorrento](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels.d6221844.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Whiteface Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-The-Whiteface-Lodge.h1343777.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Nassau (NAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/nas/seattle-to-nassau) > > [Flights from Bordeaux (BOD) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bod/nce/bordeaux-to-nice) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Heras (MDZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mdz/toronto-to-mendoza) > > [WestJet Edmonton (YEG) to Phoenix (PHX) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-edmonton-intl-to-sky-harbor-intl/ws/yeg/phx) > > [flights from billy bishop toronto city airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ytz/flights-from-billy-bishop-toronto-city-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) ### Cars > [Hertz Car Rentals In Timmins](https://www.expedia.ca/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Timmins.d4091-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Oakville](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Oakville.d9236.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [New York Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York.d178293.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Arizona Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Arizona.d204.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Kenya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenya.dx92)
