    Double room we stayed at was huge with extra beds & air conditioning. The setting was PERFECT, right by all good restaurants, Galle Fort and attractions in the Galle Fort area. We had lunch in The Original Rocket Burger, located nearby.

    The location within the old Fort area was perfect. The hotel was situated on a peaceful street known as Lighthouse street. The cleanliness of the room was fantastic and the hotel facilities were great. The owner went above and beyond to help me with transportation, even driving me to the train station for my early morning departure. The staff were friendly and the breakfast provided was delicious.

    Liked everything.

    We loved the central location with amazing restaurants and shops. The hosts were the best part, going above and beyond to help with anything we needed. Marikar was kind, funny, and even helped us post a package and get on an early train. Thank you again for everything!

    Felt so much at home, no complaints.

    Great stay! Comfortable and clean room. Perfect location, close to shops and restaurants but on a quiet street. Owners were very nice and accommodating, enjoyed talking to them about our travels.

    Bathroom was very small and also served as the shower. Room was a bit tight for sleeping four people and had low ceilings.

They went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met, from arranging transportation to offering helpful recommendations for exploring the area. The room was comfortable, with efficient air conditioning and all the necessary amenities. The guest house is situated in a peaceful street within the fort, making it convenient to explore nearby attractions and enjoy a variety of dining options. I highly recommend Lighthouse Guest for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

    We felt like part of the family during our stay. The owners were incredibly welcoming and we had some great conversations with them. They even gave us small gifts when we left. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the old town. And the coffee shop next door was a great spot for a morning pick-me-up.

    We had some cleanliness issues in our room initially, which took a couple of attempts to resolve. Also, there were some unwanted guests of the cockroach variety, which was not pleasant.

    The owner of Lighthouse Guest was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They went above and beyond in ensuring my transportation needs were taken care of. The location of the guesthouse in the Fort area was superb, and the air conditioning in my room was a welcome relief. The highlight of my stay was watching monkeys play on the roof across the street.

    The location of this guesthouse was perfect for exploring the charming streets of Galle Fort. The room was clean and comfortable, and I loved that the air conditioning worked well, providing a cool escape from the Sri Lankan heat. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I appreciated that they allowed us to check in early. Plus, the hot shower with good water pressure was a nice bonus. I had a great stay and would recommend this guesthouse to others.
