wonderful staff. We had a very beautiful sea side room on the top floor. The pool is a bit small but the location to the sea makes up for the small pool.

Beautiful upmarket stay in a gorgeous location. I will note it’s not walking distance to fort but easily reached by a 10 min Tuk Tuk. We visited in off season and had the entire place to ourself

We loved our stay at Arabella. Loved the simplicity and size of the rooms. Kept very clean and tidy by the staff. Cute offering of bananas for supper in the room with the turn down service. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Pool area was on the small size but we had no problem using it when we wanted to. Kitchen and kitchen staff were A . Food and service was amazing highly recommend the chimichurri prawns & the prawn or fish tacos! All breakfast options were great also! Tuk Tuks available outside the property cost us 1200 rupees to the fort which is approx 15 minutes away. Beach not suitable for swimming but a lot of the Sri Lankan coastline is rough like this and if you want to be able to swim in the ocean you’ll need to stay at one of the touristy areas which actually make great day trips from the hotel. Great spot for a walk along the beach. We went in the peak tourist season & found this good value for money for our family would happily stay again. Staff attentive even playing cricket with our son. Cons No kettle in the room for making tea only a coffee machine so you need to wait for the kitchen to open at 8am before you can get a pot of tea- would be nice to have one in the room If you’re in room 1 it is closest to the road and you might need some ear plugs or white noise. Also suggest an eye mask as there are shutters that allow the light through. Breakfast not available till 8 when the kitchen/restaurant opens would be nicer if it opened a little earlier

Amazing hotel and atmosphere on the beach with so much delicious food!

Hotel is about a 10 minute tuk tuk from Galle train station, hidden behind a large gate - make sure to ring the bell to get let in. It is a hidden oasis though, its airy, white and concrete leading onto a lovely garden with pool and direct access to the beach. We paid a bit more for a balcony room which I would recommend as the garden rooms don't face onto the ocean. Our room was very comfortable. Only slight downside is there is no back up generator so when there is a power cut (common in Sri Lanka) everything stops working, including the water upstairs. Staff were very helpful and organised a whale watching trip for us. Food in the restaurant was good, with a good range including local food.

Absolutely amazing hotel, enlightened hospitality at its best. The facilities are superb and the location is perfect if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle, but very close to all of the amazing places along the South West coast of Sri Lanka. The staff were incredibly amazing people and always went out of their way to make you feel comfortable and really looked after. The rooms were beautiful and really clean, the food also fantastic! We were really blown away with how perfect this place was. Highly recommend!

It’s a great botique Hotel on the beachfront near Galle. The hipster vibe that the Australian owners wanted to convey in this eight-room boutique hotel is evident in this contemporary black and white hotel. The heavy bass music in the lounge area is great mid-day while drinking a wine however, I am of an age that thinks music starting at 8:45 am was a bit earlier than wanted. The western breakfast was fine with terrific juice and fresh fruit although the eggs were cold on both mornings. I suggest asking the kitchen to prepare the eggs after the toast and other sides.

We had a fantastic 4 days at Arabella on Boossa. A little piece of tranquility against the hustle and bustle of Galle Rd. We had ocean views waking each morning to the sound of the ocean, friendly but not intrusive staff, a short stroll down to the beach and a fifteen minute tuk tuk drive away from Galle. Thoroughly recommend it. Thank you Arabella x

This was probably one of the most expensive places we payed out for on our trip and having been recommended it by a friend we were super excited as reviews and pictures looked amazing. Sadly this fell well below what we expected. The concept of the place is amazing but sadly let down by numerous pests in the rooms ( we had ants crawling up us in bed in the middle of the night!), staff that don’t speak any English so you can not communicate with them on even the simplest things like ordering food or asking questions about the hotel facilities. There was no manager around when we asked for him and I had to speak to him over mobile as he only comes in at certain times ! The air con in our room was broken when we arrived and so we were freezing cold but no one understood when we went to ask about it being fixed as no one understood us. There was no hot water the whole of our stay from the shower but by this point we had given up trying to get help with things because of the language barrier. And finally the food was awful. It looked great on instagram and the menu looked amazing but when ordered it did not meet expectations and was pricey. We got charged for things we hadn’t ordered and because of the langauage barrier it was impossible to sort out, plus they didn’t even order my food so my friends came and I had to wait another 20 mins for mine to eventually arrive after asking numerous times. We decided to eat out for the rest of our stay there. Avoid!!

Great boutique hotel with a relaxed atmosphere. The standard of the rooms, service & food is excellent and th vibe is great, especially considering limited rooms. They are very happy to arrange activities for you, including a cooking course at the hotel restaurant. Food/drink prices are a lot more expensive than the rest of Sri Lanka, but I think this is representative of Galle too. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a calm environment, 10 minutes drive from Galle fort!
