    Peaceful place for an outing with family or friends. Parking is available within the premises. The architectural design and the antiques add uniqueness to the place. The caretaker was friendly and very helpful.

    We sadly had to cancel our stay at Green Casa. The pool, rooms, gardens and location look so beautiful and peaceful. All of our interactions with them were so helpful and lovely that we look forward to the chance to stay with them in the future.

    This is one of the best small boutique hotels I've been to. The staff and the owner are both super accommodating and friendly. They've helped me with a scooter rental(delivered to site), a car arrangement from the hotel to the airport, and an in-house SPA. One day I also had this idea of cooking something I bought off the fish market and they've let me used their kitchen free of charge. The space itself is beautiful and spotless clean. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable to live in. The small pool is very intimate in a good way. Overall, great architecture planning and great services. Would highly recommend

    A jewel in beautiful Galle, Colonial villa in the heart of a local neighbourhood. We stayed here during what was probably the worst time in modern Sri Lankan history (June/July 2022), despite these hard times for the country we where treated like kings, never missed anything and always felt safe. The Villa is clean and have all amenities, though it is not a 5 star resort, it is manned 24/7 and assistance is always available. The support and kindness from both staff and management is proof of Sri Lankan hospitality and stands above anything else. We highly recommend this for anyone, and will be back our selves. Considering the hard times, especially the limited recourses like gasoline, we opted to stay in the Villa and venture out by foot and bicycle as opposed to tours by car, this turned out to be a fantastic way of getting to know the neighbourhood and even more the friendly Sri Lankan culture. Galle fort is approximately 20 minutes walk, by bicycle all Galle is close, in mid-day it is hot to go about and the pool is a life safer. We where lucky to enjoy traditional local dishes prepared for us at the Villa, this was a dream home away from home, highly recommended. Note: My country warned against traveling to Sri Lanka during our stay, but it is important to understand that the issue was merely about getting gasoline to drive about, it was never about danger to anyone, I had daily interactions (friendly talks) with military, police, protesters and other people trying to make ends meet, and they where exclusively friendly and sought only to assist me. I can strongly recommend visiting Sri Lanka even during this very important time for the country and in particular visiting Green Casa.

    Green Casa is a calm and cozy little paradise. Everything was perfect. We had a very warm welcome, delicious breakfasts with Omeletts, Sri Lankan specialities and cinnamon tea. Itโ€™s a great place to relax at the pool or at one of the cozy corners in or around the nicely renovated, clean and well smelling house. The very friendly staff made the stay perfect. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Rianne H. 5 years ago on Google
    We stayed for 2 very pleasant nights. The owner welcomed us and for the rest of the time there was always 1 person available for our requiries. The place has only 3 rooms for rent. Thereโ€™s a very nice pool to relax. The rooms are very clean and the house itself feels peaceful. Hardly any noice around, and only 2,5km from the centre. The breakfast served is also very good and every day different. Thereโ€™s no possibility for lunch or diner, but thatโ€™s not a problem with so many good restaurants nearby. We really recommend the stairway in Galle! As well to stay in Green Casa of course! :-)

    The place is absolutely stunning. The interiors are so typical to Sri Lanka and it makes you feel a sense of Sri Lankan luxury. The rooms are spacious and fantastic. Little away from the main center but still worth it. Service can be improved on. The place is otherwise simply gorgeous!

    It was a spectacular stay nested in southern Sri Lanka, this Dutch house-turned-villa is a charming retreat. Appreciate the great hospitality throughout the stay and the staff with Mohan was at impeccable service. The owner was friendly and was promptly attending to every need of the guests. The rooms were well-maintained and loved the fragrance that wafted through the air. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to spend a peaceful stay.

  • 5/5 Tasnim R. 1 year ago on Google
    The villa is a beautiful place. The rooms were clean and to a great standard. The best thing about the place is its quiet, tranquil and relaxed atmosphere. As well as, the staff being super helpful and friendly. The owner of the property was also very helpful, he gave us good food options and booked a taxi for us to head back to colombo. The staff and owner made sure we were well looked after. If you stay here you wont be disapointed.

    Wonderful place to relax, villa is a historical building renovated with attention to details. Only 3 rooms and spacious common zones. About 20 minutes walk from the Galle Fort by foot. The service was perfect and we were also lucky to talk with the owner about the Villa history and renovation issues.

  • 5/5 Omar I. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to stay the location was quiet and calm and it's only a 5 minute drive to the Galle Fort. The rooms were clean and the guy there was super friendly and helpful. Even if you don't have a vehicle he would get you a Tuk at an affordable rate.

  • 1/5 Timothy D. 4 years ago on Google
    Upon arrival the man who greeted us was too busy watching TV (in which he sat there for 8+ hours) to show any sort of hospitality expected from a hotel. Green Casa is a house that has been re fitted to be a hotel. The house itself is nice, but not much care was taken to give guests a good atmosphere. The pool was filthy, so bad we didn't dare to swim. Went back in to the room we had (as it was awkward with the man watching tv right in the entrance). We decided to turn the TV on in our room, not one channel worked. As we were leaving for dinner in Galle the man told us we had to be back by 10pm and was quite stern about it. Upon checkout the next day, instead of changing the bed sheets they just made the bed ready for the next guests, which made both my partner and I feel sick to our stomachs. I am Australian and my wife is Sri Lankan and it seemed like his attitude towards the fact she is a local meant he didn't have to try and make any sort of effort, glaring at both of us, not smiling the entire time we were there like we had inconvenienced him by having stayed there.

  • 4/5 Avishek Datta R. 2 years ago on Google
    An amazing place to stay. The ambience is very rustic and homelike which was a big plus for us since we wanted a homestay that had a history (the house was 132 years old but had been renovated). Another plus for us was that we were the only people staying there at the time. On the downside, The AC in the master bedroom took a bit more time (something that is a minor speedbump) and they didn't have dinner/lunch provisions. Mohan the housekeeper was very sweet and supportive and helped arrange for our breakfast and tuktuk travels whenever we needed them.

  • 3/5 Anusha P. 1 year ago on Google
    The entire property is beautiful. Love the proximity from downtown but the place has no power back up and it gets difficult to sleep at night especially during Summers (visited in March). We were sweating and wide awake until the power came back which was 4 hours later. The breakfast was very filling and delicious and was freshly prepared. 2 drawbacks - 1) AC wasn't functioning properly 2) the power cuts without a power back up are unbearable.

  • 3/5 Robin B. 1 year ago on Google
    The house was nice, but needed a bit of maintenance, furniture looks very tired. Our room had so many mosquitoes! I know that it is the tropics, but there were loads, not really ideal. small things could use some attention, sink in bathroom did not drain well, shampoo bottles were empty in the shower.. For the same/better price you can stay in the fort. The staff is very friendly.
