This was our second stay at Arabella having previously visiting in 2017 whilst on a back packing trip of Sri Lanka. After falling in love with the island and Arabella after only a 2 day stay, we decided to return for a full week. We were not disappointed. Just as beautiful as we remember. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. Everything about the hotel is superb. We were well looked after and we enjoyed our daily trips to Galle (usually for our evening meal) which is less than 15 minutes away. Arabella is well located out of the hustle and bustle of Galle itself, perfect for relaxing and switching off. A place we will return. Thank you for a lovely stay.

I hope this will sound genuine and not totally fake as if I was paid to write this review. We loved this place! I rarely write reviews and am quite picky, but this place deserves loads of praise. Everything here is perfect and has been carefully thought through by the owner (very likeable Australian chap who visits the place every few weeks and you can tell his touch). One of my best stays ever, not just in Sri Lanka. The place is right at the ocean, with easily accessible pool and it's small or if you prefer fancy words, boutique. Just 8 rooms. Each one is spacious and with high ceilings and well insulated re sounds; you don't hear your neighbours. Staff is genuinely nice and from what I've heart, many of them have been with this place from the start. Food on the premise it tasty, prepared locally and menu is wide enough not to get bored during 5 days stay.

Friendly staff that is always looking after you. Own beach access and the beach is mostly completely empty. Super clean and very comfortable and large rooms

Best place to stay in Galle. Far away from the noisy beer tourists Staff is very keen and helpful. Food so good and amazing beach in front of you.

If you are looking for a luxurious and tranquil escape in Sri Lanka, This hotel is a great choice. A perfect combination of comfort, relaxation, and adventure, making it an ideal destination for couples and families alike :)

Very cute boutique hotel. It has great food and is quiet. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. You’ll need to rent a scooter to get around, as there’s not much happening in the area. It’s good for families or couples who enjoy spending quality time in a quieter setting with less traffic. We spent 11 days here which I wouldn’t recommend doing but rather 4-5 days and move to a different area.

This was a fantasic stay very nice in a cost and modern hotel. The staff are very helpful, warm and welcoming and the location is simply mesmerizing!! We had some lovely food as well. A perfect holiday😍

of the best places we ever visited. Staff was kind & very friendly. Definitely wanna go there again. If you really wanna unwind this will be the best place. Thanks for all the arrangements!!! Keep going…

It was an amazing stay at Arabella on Boossa. Stayed at a very cosy & specious room and enjoyed pool with spectacular sea view. Super duper interior. One of the best places we ever visited. Staff was kind & very friendly. Definitely wanna go there again. If you really wanna unwind this will be the best place. Thanks for all the arrangements!!! Keep going…

The hotel rooms are spacious and well-furnished. The rooms offer views of the garden or the pool, with some also featuring a private balcony. rooms have the comfortable beds and the cleanliness of the rooms are too good. The hotel offers a range of activities, including yoga, cooking classes, and bicycle tours, which guests have enjoyed participating in.

Stunning location with a view that is hard to compete with. Our stay at Arabella has been incredible and after staying here you dont want to leave. The staff, food, location and room has been a 10/10 experience and I will defiantly recommend this place to everyone who is traveling to Sri Lanka.

One of the Best Beach facing properties to stay. Far away from the noise. Enjoy the waves with your favourite drink. Welcoming staff. Must visit.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable. One of the best hotels I visited. Best place to stay in Galle. One should stay here if you visit this place. Staff is helpful and polite. Amazing beach in front of you.

Our favourite hotel in Sri Lanka! Came here at the beginning of our trip and enjoyed the space and staff friendliness so much, that we had to come back here at the end of our trip! The room is very clean and has great amenities (and delicious smelling soap/shower gel) and as mentioned above, the staff is extremely friendly. Can recommend 100%!

Amazing hotel with all good amenities and good services by decent staff members. I have been there for one day and night. It was pleasant stay @ Arabella on Boossa hotel. I loved to stay there, i will recommend to others come here and feel the difference.

Our stay at Arabella on Boossa was truly outstanding. The room we stayed in was both cozy and spacious, and we particularly enjoyed spending time by the pool which offered breathtaking views of the sea. The interior of the hotel was incredibly well-designed, making it one of the most impressive places we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The staff were extremely kind and friendly, ensuring that our every need was taken care of. We would love to return to this wonderful destination again in the future. If you're looking to completely relax and unwind, then Arabella on Boossa is the perfect place to do so. Thank you to the hotel for arranging such a memorable experience!

Very nice hotel The staff are lovely and the location is beautiful !! If you staying in this area Arabella is amazing.

Delightful small boutique style hotel with a colonial look and feel. Just eight rooms. Beautiful lawn gardens studded with palm trees stretching to a private beach. Moderate surf. Staff very friendly and professional. High quality food. Limited bar drink selection. I had the suite which is huge. Air conditioned and ceiling fans. Felt like a king ! Tranquil atmosphere. Small but very clean pool. Highly recommended providing you understand this isn't your Hilton type facility and busy atmosphere. .

Places looks great but zero customer friendliness. Only go here if you're covid proof. We got covid. After 21 mails/ countless WhatsApp messages and general apathy, the dude agreed to only refund us days he could fill (they did this 2 days after us manically following up with covid). Then the partial refund was lesser than the amount I was promised so obviously I blew up, I got a nice it's not our fault.you got Covid and you're very rude for suggesting for that you only care about Instagrammers and not us. This is a small time operation who only cares abouy money and not guests.

We visited the restaurant twice, we loved the premises, the beautiful fresh interiors, the food and the drinks and the warm hospitality. We wanted to book also few nights but unfortunately it was fully booked. A place to come back

When we arivved at the property and was greeted by the warmest welcome, we were brought into the property which was carefully curated and designed and it opens up to the beautiful view of the sea. We loved everything about this place, from the location (being only 15mins away from Galle Fort and the famous beaches surrounding it) to the design from the spaces, the comfortable room and spacious, the warm and attentive service from the staff, the great breakfast (do request for the local option) the amazing view and they serve the best crab curry that we've tried in Sri Lanka. Overall an amazing place to stay.

Amazing hotel with amazing views and ha very helpful staff. Manager was very welcoming. Would differently plan to revisit in the future

Super nice place to stay, especially when you don’t want to sleep in a super busy area. Staff was very kind and always helpful! Food & breakfast was also very delicious, unfortunately the beach infront of the hotel was not that nice, so you should rather use the pool of the hotel. If you want to eat outside, you can just cross the street and there is a small shop - more like an imbiss - called family restaurant (they don’t have a location on google) which is amazing, super traditional and one of the best kottu we ate during our time in Sri Lanka
