    (Translated by Google) If you want to spend a perfect stay in Galle, you're in the right place! Serenity, impeccable service and ecology come together here. Indeed, everything is done to make you feel good. Welcome cocktails and refreshing towels. Staff more than pleasant. Smiling and with excellent English. The place is beautiful, it is once again an old colonial house. The decoration is superb. The rooms are beautiful. Fresh flowers are located throughout the house. Bottles of water (glass! So reusable) are available in the room. Excellent tea and at will if you wish. The common area is sublime with an impressive ceiling height. In the rooms too. The breakfast is perfect. The BIG strong point of this place: family place and very focused on sustainable and responsible tourism! Sensitization of guests to responsible tourism: especially on tourism around animals such as elephants and whales. Everything is done to have a lesser impact on the environment. Cardboard straw, shower gel shampoo etc. in ceramic containers, glass bottles. It is an innovative hotel in this area. He deserves encouragement and gets the congratulations! (Original) Si vous souhaitez passer un séjour parfait à Galle, vous êtes au bon endroit ! Sérénité, service impeccable et écologie font bon ménage ici. En effet, tout est fait pour que vous vous sentiez bien. Cocktails de bienvenue et serviettes rafraîchissantes. Personnel plus qu'agreable. Souriant et avec un anglais excellent. L'endroit est magnifique, il s'agit une fois de plus d'une ancienne maison coloniale. La décoration est superbe. Les chambres sont magnifiques. Des fleurs fraîches sont situées un peu partout dans la maison. Des bouteilles d'eau (en verre ! Donc réutilisable) sont à disposition dans la chambre. Thé excellent et à volonté si on le souhaite. L'espace commun est sublime avec une hauteur sous plafond impressionnante. Dans les chambres également. Le petit déjeuner est parfait. Le GRAND point fort de cet endroit : lieu familial et très axé sur le tourisme durable et responsable ! Sensibilisation des hôtes au tourisme responsable : notamment sur le tourisme autour des animaux tels que les éléphants et les baleines. Tout est fait pour avoir un impact moindre sur l'environnement. Paille en carton, shampooing gel douche etc.. dans des récipients en céramique, bouteilles en verre. C'est un hôtel novateur en la matière. Il mérite des encouragements et obtient les félicitations !

    Stunning ❤ The Best Place to stay inside Galle Fort 👍 Absolutely Magnificent Villa with a very calm & cool atmosphere 😍 Rooms are huge & clean with superb bathroom space! They are very clean & complete with all amneties! This gem of a place is very nature friendly & has a lovely little garden which is very rare to find inside Galle fortifications. We were fortunate to enjoy scrumptious meals which were tailor made to our choice👌 Staff was really gracious & extremely helpful! This is the place to treat yourself for a Truly Amazing Sri Lankan Hospitality 🙏 Totally worth every penny you spend here. We have fallen in love with this Stunning Boutique❤ You will too.... Highly Recommend 👍

    I haven't stayed there but having lunch only, so it is the restaurant's review. First, we sat burning by sun. A few trees didn't save us. Second, the meal was not tasty. When I complained the issue to the waiter he didn't care. He delivered the dishes, after several notifications forks came and at least water. The price was high but the service and meal bad

    A perfect place for a stay within the Galle Fort. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Interior design was done beautifully and has an Indian look. Worth the money. Customer Service is friendly.

    We love this little place in Galle fort this April. Such a lovely place with charming guest rooms and loggia opened to a lush garden. We stayed in a family room with poster bed downstairs and a loft for kids. The breakfast was much more than we expected!

    A really stylish hotel that is well laid out and inviting, a little home from home. A great Base from which to explore the Fort area. Great breakfast and overall excellent value for money.

    Mango House is beautiful with a lovely well maintained garden. I spent two very nice days there and it was a haven to come back to after a day of work meetings. The breakfast is great and the room very comfortable. Pradeep was thoughtful and attentive. I will go back for sure!

    We had a great experience staying for 3 nights at Mango House. We had the family room no.4 , spacious for a family of 4 (can easily fit 4 adults). The staff were friendly & kind. We liked the breakfast (especially the mango juice & fresh fruits).Location is perfect too, near all the nice restaurants and shops.

  • 3/5 C A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location. Comfortable rooms. Breakfast was OK. No dinner or bar available which would have been a nice extra when settling in for the evening.

  • 4/5 Minal W. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely, colourful and quirky space in the heart of Galle Fort. The staff were happy to help with any questions. Our room was nice and clean and had a lot of light coming in through the windows. The garden is a lovely space to hang out in, especially on a hot day. Since the property is down a by lane, you are able to also have a bit of quiet time away from the hustle and bustle. Great spot! :)

    comfortable room and friendly staff. Good place to stay

  • 5/5 narendra a. 1 year ago on Google
    I was the only guest at the hotel and they offered me a free room upgrade to the one with balcony! The staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. Though they usually serve breakfast at 8 am, for me they made an exception and served a lip smacking breakfast at 7 am. I have stayed in many hotels across the world and rarely do people go out of their way to serve their customers. The interiors were also very good. I highly recommend this place of stay at Galle.

  • 5/5 Promod P. 1 year ago on Google
    We are much grateful to Mango House crew for making our stay more amazing and precious. It was a quite lovely time we had in Mango House. The Villa gives us chronological & historical feeling, for a moment we thought we were back into British Ceylon period. It has lovely & simple garden which gives us peaceful thoughts in mind. We felt peacefulness from the beginning since we step into the property. Mr.Thilina who is the owner of the property offered us a good price and helped us a lot. Also, we must mention that owner is very generous person who upgraded our stay. We must give 10+ for their service and hospitality. Rooms are clean and ventilated. The premises is in center of the Fort, therefore, not got much disturbance from the outside. Very easy of travelling from the location. I would recommend the Mango House without any hesitation. And of course, I should have to mention the Manager and Mr. Lal for their helpfulness. Thanks again for your hospitality.

    The room is clean and comfortable I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Sri Lanka. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Staff was very hospitable and there for every need of mine. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting down south...

  • 2/5 Oliver N. 3 months ago on Google New
    this review is for the Restaurant only! We waited over 20 min for our drinks. despite i ask for my icetea three times, i never got it. the srilanken Panini was very very boring and the added cucamber „salad“ was 5 slices of a small cumcumber. my firends pineapple curry was the smallest portion i ever saw. the prices were not justified. The location is nice.

  • 5/5 Robin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to stay in Galle. Very close to the city centre, but very kicked back with a nice garden to hang out. Staff was very friendly and we got a free upgrade for our room. Can really recommend to stay here if you wanna spent some time in Galle.

  • 5/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful clean ,cool room. Lovely garden and upstairs seating areas to relax. The building is heritage so quite special. Staff are excellent with all the information we needed. We enjoyed our Sri Lankan breakfast in the garden. Big surprise when we were given a room upgrade to a family room.

  • 5/5 Emily B. 1 year ago on Google
    Peaceful quiet hotel, which is still in the heart of Galle Fort and walking distance to all the sights. Truly wonderful staff and great service. The rooms have little luxury details which just made staying here feel special (own courtyard, 4 poster bed, the cute hotel soaps). Very well decorated in bright airy colours, extremely well kept, & clean. We had a great nights sleep with the quiet of the room. We would definitely stay here again!

  • 5/5 James F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great hotel in a quiet side road in the heart of Galle. Brilliant staff that are always available for a friendly chat or to help you with advice to explore this beautiful country. Beautiful gardens to relax when it’s too hot or pouring with rain. We enjoyed our experience here and will definitely return

  • 5/5 Sasja M. 8 months ago on Google
    We had one night in Mango House and loved it! The rooms are super clean, and staff are really nice. They helped organise transport for us, and the complimentary drink upon arrival was a nice touch. The outdoor garden area is a nice relaxing place out of the sun.

  • 5/5 Tormain 5 months ago on Google
    Mango House provides excellent service and is a great getaway from the noise of the Fort. The garden restaurant is beautiful and feels secluded. I was very happy with my week long stay there.

  • 5/5 Meera C. 1 year ago on Google
    You are made to feel at home immediately with a welcome drink of mango juice, the lovely staff are happy and helpful in every way. If you need a taxi they can organise it, if you need washing done they will do it. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are light, (ask for one with a little garden terrace or balcony) clean and have all you need. Breakfast is lovely with a fruit plate full of everything in season. There are indoor or outdoor areas where you can relax or read, the whole place is calm and peaceful.

  • 5/5 Dave H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good place to stay. Centred in the heart of Galle Fort but off the main streets. Good breakfasts set in a delightful garden and under two magnificent mango trees. Staff are as kind, helpful and gentle as you could ever wish.

    Location is good within a walking distance to all the restaurants and galle fort. Hotel has a good old fort vibe and the rooms are basic but nice. The delectable breakfast and the genuinely friendly staff contribute to a delightful and memorable stay.

  • 3/5 L W. 4 months ago on Google
    Very nice place, clean and friendly staff. However value for money did not meet our expectations. The breakfast was just okay and the AC for example was the worst we had in two weeks, although it was our most expensive stay. I guess you realy pay for the good location imside Galle Fort....

    A very nice place to stay for a night in Galle. Small cosy garden. Large bathroom, balcony, mosquito net over bed, tea facilities. You can choose from English, continental or Sri Lankan breakfast. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back here.

  • 5/5 Kanchana R. 3 years ago on Google
    Mango house is a lovely place to stay in the Galle Fort. The house has a large mango tree in the garden, as you enter. Rooms are comfortable with attached bathrooms. Everything is clean and the staff is very friendly. We stayed for one night on bed & breakfast basis. Food was really great. The mango house is situated in the Leyne Baan Cross Street and as the pamphlet at the room tells it has been constructed during the colonial times. You can still see the floor and some doors having those historical marks. The living area is adorned with Hindi movie posters and in the rooms you can see Hindu gods' pictures.

  • 4/5 Dimitri W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to stay with cosy lodging. Couldn't really experience the food because the kitchen was closed during our stay.

  • 2/5 dipti k. 5 years ago on Google
    While we were utterly charmed by the lovely old house and the colourful decor, and found it to be very comfortable, the booking site did not have a price tag and we ended up paying way more (nearly 4X the rate sinular establushments wete charging ) per night, charged straight to the credit card. Nice as it was I personally found it to be way over priced. Breakfast choices were very limited and the Sri Lankan breakfast did not include any of the staples. Stay here but check the price tag carefully before giving your card details.

    Mango House is the Perfect definition of a Successfully ran & decorated Boutique Hotel . This Boutique Hotel, a brilliantly renovated Dutch Colonial House, is located on a quiet street that lies in the Heart of the Galle Fort area, After arrival, you are greeted with a delicious mango juice in the spacious and stylish reception area. Mango House's decor is what struck me most, from the wooden Lounge Chairs to the Paintings, it has been thoroughly thought of. The rooms are stylish, spacious and bright, equipped with AC units and fans. The place also seems to follow a more environmental approach : from the open areas allowing light to pass during the day, to the non-use of plastic items in the Hotel. A Definitive plus that other Hotels keep neglecting. Staff is polite, helpful and effective. Wifi is Free of Charge. Last but not least, the breakfast is delicious and complete with various choices for different tastes. As mentioned in the title, Mango House was my second home for 2 nights.. My only regret is not being able to spend more time. A Must stay Boutique Hotel if you are in Galle

    Mango House was the perfect place for a post pandemic getaway! The staff were friendly and attentive, the building itself was spacious with adequate ventilation, and we felt both safe AND comfortable during our stay. The location was ideal as it was close to the highway and within Galle Fort, so we had easy access to a wide variety of restaurants and sights. We had a great time! :)

  • 5/5 Anna M. 6 years ago on Google
    Upon arrival we were treated to cold towels and a non sugary mango ice tea. We were then upgraded to an upstairs room with a balcony as it's low season. The staff and owner were very helpful and gracious. There were tea and biscuits and books and coloring books in the hall, a very chill and relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious, it was multi choice. I had fruit and omelette with roti, tea and fresh coconut water. Oh and the bathroom was beautiful and had natural organic toiletries, so nice! It was a perfect stay after a 24h journey.

    One of the best places we found in Galle Fort. We had our son's birthday party at Mango house. The food is very delicious. And a very beautiful and quiet place. We got a very friendly and flexible service from the staff to prepare the food and decorate the place according to our needs. Mango house is one of the best places to spend a holiday or come and have a meal in the fort.
