    This is a hidden gem! Beautiful tropical garden with a nice pool and peaceful area. The room was also stunning, especially the outdoor bathroom. Great and friendly host which gave us good advice for where to go and also helped us with transportation. The breakfast on the balcony was delicious. Would recommend this for for anyone (especially couples)!

    We had a very nice 2 night stay in Ceylon Olive, the rooms and facilities are of a high standard and its a short drive to Galle Fort or a number of beaches. Kumudu and his family were very friendly and helpful. We had a late flight when departing so well after check out Kumudu offered us storage, changing and shower facilities for when we had to leave for the airport.

    A wonderful three night stay at Ceylon Olive. Beautiful setting in a quiet part of Galle surrounded by nature. Lovely swimming pool which is pleasantly warm all hours of the day, especially after dark! Jackfruit trees in the garden, a hammock to relax in, monkeys rustling in the trees. The housekeeper played us the flute in the morning of our last day which was a memorable touch. Would happily return and recommend to my friends/family.

    Ceylon Olive was by far the most relaxing, spa-like property I was able to enjoy while visiting Sri Lanka. Being halfway between the beach and Galle Fort puts this hotel in the perfect location. The grounds are gorgeous with beautiful tropical flowers and greenery and if you are just wanting a relaxing day in, the owner has just put in a new pool. The rooms are stunning, spacious and very clean. The owner, puts extra effort into the special touches, from fresh flowers in your room to a delicious Sri Lankan style breakfast. I regretted leaving but look forward to my next trip to Sri Lanka and my next stay at Ceylon Olive.

    Had a wonderful experience at Ceylon Olive and full marks to Kumudu and his team. Right from the accommodation, to the location to the breakfast to the warm hospitality of Kumudu and his staff, everything was too good and makes you want to visit the property again.

    It was an amazing stay, biggest thanks to the owner Kumudu and his staff. The location of the property is great - everything is easy reachable by tuk tuk - the Galle center, great beaches, restaurants and so on. We really loved our superior deluxe room with jungle view, we even saw monkeys up close from our terrace! Room had an amazing outdoor shower which we loved very much, room was very spacious and equipped with everything that you might need like the shampoo, shower gel, soap, hairdryer, high quality mosquito net, tea kettle etc. We also loved traditional Sri Lankan breakfast every morning. Overall it was a very peaceful, relaxing stay with a beautiful surroundings and a feeling like you are staying in the middle of a jungle. Thank you once again Kumudu, our biggest recommendations to stay in Ceylon Olive Galle when in Sri Lanka.

    Stunning villa, the cleanest and most beautifully situated. It was a perfect and quiet location, but so close to all amenities, local attractions and restaurants. The balance between luxury and the beautiful simplicity of colonial, well-styled design was truly breathtaking. Our gorgeous suite met all our expectations. It was very spacious and peaceful, the crystal-clear pool enjoyed full sun for most of the day, a lovely, lush garden and a grassed area. You can enjoy at the pool or on the cosy patio to read your book or play family games. The room was beautifully lit, elegant and comfortable. The standard of the property was exceptional. The super-luxurious and spacious outdoor bathroom was one of the killer features in the villa, and what a heavenly, tranquil space to have a shower overlooking nature. We were waking up to the birds' singing and the energizing sounds of squirrels & chipmunks in the morning. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, showing the richness of local flavors. Excellent hospitality from the owner, Kumudu, and his lovely family: He was very knowledgeable, really helpful & courteous and always went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. If there were any problems with anything, it was attended to immediately by the friendly and accommodating staff. We could not ask for more, and we highly recommend this to anybody who wants to have that experience of relaxation. Thank you for making our stay wonderful. I must say that it was a hidden piece of paradise and a home away from home!
