Guest reviews for Devo's place
"Super friendly and welcoming staff, fantastic room with sea view in a less touristy part of Galle but still very close to the Fort and the train station. I would highly recommend this stay!"
"Aucun."
"The location is great. Close to everything, yet off the main road so it is very quiet too. The staff were excellent and very accommodating and friendly when my arrival time changed significantly."
"The stairs are a little steep. Not a problem but just thought I should mention it."
"This is a good option if you can’t stay in the fort. It is about 15mins walk to the fort entrance. Also close to the train and bus stations. The guesthouse is in a quiet street off the busy main road. The room is clean and newly fitted out- AC, hot water, kettle(with tea), and wifi all included. There is a big supermarket at the end of the street."
"No mosquito net so we were bitten overnight. Just a heads up the MAPS.ME address location is slightly off by a few properties. Use google maps or just look for the house number."
"We loved everything! The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. it was around 7min walk from the train station, located in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Steffan provided a detailed address of the place so it was easy to locate. he was also very attentive and helpful throughout our stay. his mother was such a sweet lady, she was the one taking care of the accommodation, keeping everything clean and spotless. there is one thing to keep in mind; the staircase was a bit steep, so we needed to be extra careful going up and down especially when it rains or carrying luggages. 100% would stay here again if we come back to Galle one day!"

"Simple , clean with all equipment i needed. nice balcony with nice view"
"As my room is just beneath the top roof , on day time it was hot . But at night with A/C the temperature is pleasant . ( Sri lanka is hot everyday )"
"Host was very friendly and accommodating. Property was very clean and comfortable"

"Everything was perfect - the room was clean, well kept, clearly very new. There was a lovely view from the balcony space outside the room and it felt quite private, despite being in a great location, 10 mins ish from the station, only a short walk to fort. I felt very safe in the area as a solo female traveller. The owner was so lovey too. The room was really well thought out - great to have a mop for wet room and appreciated kettle/water facilities. Thank you!"

"It was clean and private. It was spacious and had good amenities. It was close to the galle fort"
"Aucun."
"Great location, close to the railway and bus stations, and within walking distance of Galle Fort. However, the room and bathroom were very clean. You get a nice ocean breeze, with good natural light and ventilation."
"The room could have been a bit bigger, as it was difficult for two people to open and use their luggage. There could be two bedside tables with lights. The lighting at night is a bit dull and makes reading difficult. There are no cupboards to keep clothes."
"The place was well maintained and the owner was so kind to accommodate all our requests. The place was a glimpse into the past and beautiful neo classical architecture all around us."
"Aucun."

"My wife and I stayed here for two nights. The location is great, right next to Yala National Park. The huts are hand-built, made of clay, living in them is a unique experience. The host is very kind and friendly, helps in any way he can, we are very grateful to him for that and are glad that we met! 😊 The host also prepared some delicious traditional food for us. He will also help with organizing a safari, and can take you around the area himself and tell you interesting stories!"

"This was a nicely designed hotel, with spacious rooms. Conveniently located for Yala safari pickups. There was even a peacock to greet us every morning outside our balcony!"

"I can’t put into words just how beautiful and spectacular this place is. Honestly WOW! My rooms that had over 15 foot ceilings, everything made of stone, fans and air conditioning, the nature surrounding us, the Pool and the hotel grounds, the warm and amazing staff! My stay was short and I regret not staying longer. Just AMAZING and also the owner was there to answer all my questions and last minute demands. Don’t forget to tip the staff because they go over and beyond for you."

"What an unforgettable stay! The location of this camp is beautiful and perfectly located for the safari tour. You have direct access to the dune area during sun set hours. Just be aware that you will have to walk quite a bit through deep sand and there are a lot of nature sounds during the night."
"Staff going beyond expectations. Nice spot at the outskirt of the park. Amazing food experience - you taste many local dishes and they explain them to you in a lovely setting with candles and a campfire."
Nathalie Leopard Safaris Yala
