Guest reviews for Devo's place
"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"
"Aucun."
"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."
"The A/C and internet connection were very good, though during last two days the WI FI didn’t work in the mornings. The room was cozy and clean. The host was nice."
"The construction works were quite loud during the day"
"Stayed for 2 nights 3 days to attend the Galle Literary Festival 2024. The place is a newly renovated/built place with cleanliness and all the new amenities (AC/Wifi/electric shower). I am really happy with the property, amenities, and privacy. Not a negative point but from the property, there is not much scenery visible other than a glimpse of the ocean, Galle suburban buildings, and the nearby church. I didn't want any scenery as I was on the move the entire daytime and only stayed the nights at the property. Even though the place is 2km from Galle Fort it's easily reachable with a short walk and more value for money than some places inside the Fort with fewer amenities and features. Highly recommended!"

Guest reviews
"This is simple accommodation but absolutely perfect and in a lovely setting in the wild."
David Yala Wild House
"We had such a good, memorable time here. Taken very well care of by Manju (the owner), we enjoyed a very comfortable stay in the wild, off the beaten track, with beautiful nature all around us. The food was delicious and filling, vegetarian and vegan diets catered for completely. They lit us a fire one night and we enjoyed dinners by candlelight every night. The beds were super comfy and the large hut that we stayed in was very spacious - good for all bags and clothes. Manju organised our safari day and our trip to a local beach. He was ready to meet our every need and was very kind and friendly with our children too."
"Staff were lovely and cooked amazing food. Very accomodating and helpful to assist us. Pool was lovely and the rooms were so comfortable"
