    The experience at Rip Rap Cabana was excellent. We had an amazing cabana, with a private garden, a private beach and an excellent host and service. I am very happy with the experience and it is definitely I would come back again. All in all, an exclusive place very close by Galle (it costs 20 rupees per person to get to Galle by bus. Bus stop 1 min away from the cabana). Thanks Isuru and your family for making our experience so great.

    Great place right on the beach. Quite dark rooms and roof was leaking during heavy rain. Tasty Sri Lankan breakfast. No sign from the road.

    beautiful place next to beach and near the main road. Owner is friendly and supportive. Garden and the cabana was really nice and clean. Beach is just 10m away. A good place to relax and chill.

    Extended the stay for 2 more days as I couldn't get enough of it!!! To elaborate on the word "IT" : The Service, The Food <3, The People, The green around the place, not to forget The Beach right about 10 steps from the Super cute mini house. Damn i wish I could have stayed there for more days! This is one sweet little Gem that is hidden amidst all the fancy Hotels in Galle. The host- wow They provided the best Srilankan Food that I had on my trip of 10 days. He even took an efffort in cutting the fruit in a star shape!! I mean for this price I actually recived a 5 star treatment. I tipped generously (but nothing can match up to their service ) I have never given a reivew before, NEVER! This place forced me to, cause it deserves it. Deserves every star i have rated. So much for what? 2500 LKR i.e 1100 INR for 2 adults. Another best part is THE ENTIRE PLACE is YOURS!

    Exactly as advertised. Spectacular view, simple but functional room. No hot water but that wasn’t missed all that much due to the temperature. 5 star service. Luuma restaurant 2 doors down was an easy spot to enjoy a few drinks and meal. Delicious breakfast. Fabulous value for money.

    Delightful spot for a beach holiday. Clean, shady. Right on beach, with your own little garden. Has benefit of Radisson Hotel next door. Owners considerate and welcoming.

    Best experience ever in Sri Lanka. Beautiful place (cute house with beautiful garden by the beach all for your self), the owner Isuru is taking care of us with sincere kindness and 5 stars hotel standard of hospitality. The wife cooks the most delicious foods in Sri Lanka. There's a good spot for swimming in front of Amari hotel (next to it). Nice ambience to spend time reading a book or just chill on a private day bed. Missing this place already...

    Stay here if you can!! Lovely family with outstanding hospitality. The host Isuru is amazing! His service is truly on par with a very good hotel thanks to self-study, good heart, smart mind and high motivation to achieve excellence. His wife cooks local dishes on a new level, exciting and subtle usage of spices, she's a very good cook and you'll truly enjoy the assorted curries, daily changing breakfasts etc.. choose to eat at the Cabanas i.o. the Gintota junction or Galle. Safe and fun swim at hotel bay! As of January 2020 there's one fantastic Fan room w bathroom in a nice and well maintained garden. It's directly at the beach front, set back from the main road! You're the only guests and can choose to chill at your little terrace in front of the room, or the breakfast/dining table or the sunbeds in the front - all with ocean view. The garden is fantastic, very natural and well maintained. You can hang wet cloths on a line in the garden. Laundry service is also available. Tuk Tuk to/from Galle 250-350 Rp. & Hikaduwa 550-700 Rp

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at the "Beach Rip Rap Cabana and Guest" in Galle, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The cabana exceeded my expectations in every way. The photos online don't do justice to the sheer beauty of this place. One of the standout features of this cabana is its private beach section. Waking up to the sound of waves crashing in front of you and having the sea right at your doorstep is truly magical. The evening views of the sea are simply breathtaking. It's the perfect setting for a tranquil and relaxing getaway. If you're interested in exploring the area, there are plenty of attractions nearby. The historic Galle Fort is just a 10-minute bike ride away, offering a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich colonial history. One of the highlights for me was the safe sea bath area right in front of the cabana. You can take a dip in the sea without any worries, and it's incredibly convenient. The comfort of the beds is noteworthy, ensuring a good night's sleep. Moreover, the owner's hospitality made the experience even more memorable. He goes above and beyond to ensure the safety and comfort of his guests, which is truly appreciated. Overall, my stay at "Beach Rip Rap Cabana and Guest" was a memorable one. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful retreat in Galle. I can't wait to return for another visit.

😠 Walked in for dinner with friends at around 8.30 pm and was warmly welcomed. Our orders were taken promptly but then everything went downhill from there. Waited around 40 minutes till we decided to ask a waitstaff for an update on our food and we were assured that we would get it soon. After this we...
