Very peaceful and calm. Service is efficient and all the staff are incredibly helpful. Our room was v nice and incredibly comfortable. The food is delicious and fairly reasonably priced. It is a must to go for supper or stay, we stayed after 2 weeks of beaching and it was welcoming to have the sound of the crickets. All in... More

After reading the hotel website and the reviews on this site we were really looking forward to staying here, however we were very disappointed at the standard of accommodation at the hotel. Our room was situated between the kitchen and sitting area, with the bedroom door leading straight onto the dining terrace, this location meant that there was constant noise,... More

It would not be possible for Henri and her team to do anything more for us. The Sun House has all the charm and grandeur of a fine colonial home. The food and the service were also outstanding. Honestly the Sun House is a haven in the midst of the madness that is Sri Lanka. More

This beautifully restored Dutch house has so much character and is close to perfection. The living room area and the library really took us back in time. The cinnamon suite we stayed in is worth every penny. It has been voted by Conde Nast as the most beautiful room in the world. We understand why. Miss Henri, the manager, was... More

There are 7 wonderfuly charming... More

This place is wonderful - and gets it right in terms of location, decor and service. A beautiful old colonial bungalow which has been lovingly restored, with gorgeous rooms and bathrooms, set atop a hill overlooking Galle. With a nice garden and plunge pool, and lots of big cushiony sofas to lounge about in. Very good food, all served on... More

I fully understand the reason behind the wonderful feedback on trip advisor for this hotel, it is a lovely old house and has a lot of character. The garden is lovely and the sound of birds, monkeys etc was also delightful. We had a standard room, not the large room upstairs that many talk about and I have to say... More

Sitting atop a hill overlooking Galle the Sun House is a stunning colonial property which has remained true to it's history and gives the guests a real feel for what it would have been like to have lived there in days gone by. The traditional decor is in-keeping with the environment and has the feel of a large family home... More
