6.8 out of 10, (3 reviews)
"The pictures are not a true reflection of this property. It has the potential to be a very lovely hotel but it is run down and falling apart. The rooms were dirty especially the bathroom. There wasn't a mosquito net for the bed. Service for breakfast was very slow. The pool looks like it needs a good clean. I couldn't even get into it. "

Top Galle Hotel Reviews

Tamarind Hill by Asia Leisure

Tamarind Hill by Asia Leisure

8/10 Good
"Potential for this property is great though it is not ideally located. Huge breakfasts that ranged from buffet to special order based on occupancy. Upkeep and maintenance is not up to western standards for a boutique hotel. No bar, no washcloths etc. An excellent and accommodating staff needs support from the management company Asia Leisure in terms of equipment and supplies."
