Galavilla Boutique Hotel & Spa

Beautiful location in the hills. Great breakfast. Lovely dinners. Super service from Roshin and his team! The room was large with a beautiful large balcony. The most sensational bathroom with large window the length of the bath. Minibar and kettle in room.

Terrible noise, sawing, banging and building from 08.30 till 5.00. Hotel advised us of this 24 hours before arrival, even though we had booked many months earlier. At that time it was too late to find something similar. It continued throughout the entire 10 days we stayed there. We made many outings, and at the pool it was quieter. It was eventually 'made good' with a discount upon departure. But still a shame.

Beautiful rooms with the best view, nice pool, nice wellness, lovely nature all around. Every room has also outside area which is as big as the room and very nice indeed. The staff, especially at the restaurant, are so nice!

Please, do something about the food... during our stay we were in a couple of other hotels and resorts and here the food was one of the worst. Sri Lankan was ok and nice but the European style food was really poor quality. 45 minutes drive from Kandy but lovely quiet location which is worth the drive (only there are not any restaurants near by and with the food not being so great I would probably not choose this property again).

We stayed for 11 nights in the hotel and already day one we felt at home. Located in the beautiful, natural area, far away from the hassle of big city, but still nearby to many attractions. The personnel was welcoming and warm, whenever we needed something everyone was so helpful! The room was spacious and clean, the views amazing, what a wonderful escape! But the best thing... food! absolutely incredible. The chef was ready to go an extra mile and offered to cook our favorites off menu plus we took cooking class to learn about Sri Lankan food from the best source :) We cannot recommend this place enough! We will be back :)

The room the peace and quiet and amazing hospitality. The rooms give an awesome view of the sun rise and I really cannot describe it in mere words.

Limited food menu and the approach road can be difficult to navigate.

From the warm welcome on the first day to the assistance at departure, all of the stay was imbued by genuine care. The rooms and restaurant have breath-taking views with the nature songs all around. Also worth noting: the unique striking interior design (each room themed to one of Nature's element), the Spa bungalow with comprehensive Ayurvedic treatments, the gardens and the well catered menu with a complete wine list and bar selection. Above all the best memory will be the amazing team in beautiful sarongs, available round the clock to assist with gentle attention and pleasant conversation.

The hotel has a dramatic view over the mountains and valley below. The room was spotlessly clean. The welcome from Pradeep and the team was genuine and warm. The kitchen creates excellent Sri Lankan food and Roshan made us feel like regulars. 10/10 service breakfast and dinner.

The room could benefit from an air conditioner at night. The shower in bath was not ideal for anyone but the most agile guests.

Perfect place on top of the mountains around Kandy, in the middle of the jungle, very remote, good for relaxation and with amazing views. Rooms are really big and clean, with huge terrace and perfect hot water at the shower. Pool is nice as well, we regret only that we could not use it, because of rain. Very friendly staff, very good massage at Spa and amazing food in their own restsurant. Highly recommended!

I recently stayed at the Galla Villa Boutique Hotel and it was truly an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, the rooms were luxurious and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. I particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast buffet each morning and the spa facilities. I would highly recommend the Galla Villa Boutique Hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Nothing I can remember about it.

The staff was excellent and very attentive to our needs and were happy to make accommodations for us when we traveled and came back late to the hotel or wanted to leave early.

The drive was a long one getting to the hotel but after you reached the hotel you forgot about it.

The hidden and wonderful location was surprising. A peaceful accommodation to relax with your family. Warm welcome from the staff, always helpful and looking at all details. It deserves a longer stay to enjoy the surrounding nature and the amazing jacuzzi. We’ve been in Feb 2023, there is nothing to worry about for tourism, a safe country and lovely people.

I can’t say anything that I don’t like it
