Tamarind Hill

It is an extraordinarily beautiful heritage hotel that offers extremely attentive butler service. During our stay, only two or three rooms in the entire hotel were occupied. We had booked the full-board package, and the hotel staff could customize your dining times according to your requests—you could dine at any time you wished. The food was particularly delicious with a wide range of menu options; every meal included a complete course of appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert. On the last day, as we had to get up early to catch a train, the hotel prepared breakfast for us as early as 6 o'clock. All staff members were always smiling, providing highly personalized and private services. This hotel is worth visiting for everyone and is truly value for money. The young waiter at the restaurant was extremely thoughtful. He pulled out chairs for us and got everything ready every time, and he was constantly attentive to any of our needs. When we mentioned that we wanted to have breakfast outside, he told us that there were too many mosquitoes at the moment and asked if we would like to do so for dinner instead. By evening, he had prepared everything perfectly: he set up a table in the courtyard, got lamps ready, and even arranged potted plants. It was truly wonderful.

Forget the older reviews – this place has been newly refurbished and is fabulous once again. This hotel is totally ‘Wow’! Our room was very large and really lovely. There is a big four-poster bed, lots of cupboards, a huge bathroom, a seating area outside the room and plenty of other outdoor seating around the hotel grounds, plus a swimming pool.||The style of the hotel is very much grand colonial, and it’s just a really lovely place to stay. The food at the hotel is also great – we had several meals there.

A Timeless Haven in Galle – Tamarind Hill||Tamarind Hill is a place I know I will keep returning to every time I am in Sri Lanka. This is a promise. Nestled on the edge of a quiet village in Galle, this two-hundred-year-old Dutch bungalow feels like a living poem in stone and silence. Steeped in history and wrapped in old-world charm, the property feels ethereal, suspended in time. Serene, secluded, and impossibly beautiful, it is the kind of place where you could lose yourself for weeks, well, I could for months.||Keshav and his team redefine hospitality. Their warmth is genuine, their attention to detail remarkable, the kind that makes you feel less like a guest and more like an old friend returning home. Every single member of that team deserves a raise.||I was travelling solo through Sri Lanka when I booked Tamarind Hill. Upon arrival, I discovered that I was the only guest, a rare lull for a property otherwise known for its exquisite food, as they were mending a gas leak that week. Now most solo female travellers might hesitate, and understandably so, but something about Keshav and his team instantly put me at ease. My instincts said I was safe, and they were right. For three quiet days, before the weekend brought a full house, I was the lone guest in this grand old bungalow, yet never once did I feel alone.||As a woman, you learn to trust your instincts about people and energies, and I am grateful that my intuition led me here. The kindness and integrity of the team at Tamarind Hill turned what could have been a daunting experience into one of the most peaceful and grounding stays of my travels. And I am full of gratitude that the team at Tamarin Hill was an eminent part of my Lanka journey.||The colonial style property in itself is a masterpiece. The suites upstairs, the rooms downstairs, the open courtyard, each space whispering stories of another era. The sounds of birds and a stillness that invites words to flow. A place that nourishes both solitude and imagination. And from what I hear your tummy and your soul.|I shall return for the food, for the timeless charm, and for the feeling of being so deeply cared for. I am, certainly, not done.||My apologies for the delayed review, Keshav and team. Perhaps it is only fitting, because Tamarind Hill is a place that lingers.

We had a superb stay at the Tamarind Hill, Galle for four days. This was our second time in this beautiful heritage villa. The manager and the staff are very helpful and made us feel at home! Food is delicious! It's a beautiful property and very relaxing. We will definitely come again!

I had a wonderful stay at Tamarind Hill Hotel. The property offers a calm, colonial charm with spacious rooms tastefully decorated to reflect traditional Sri Lankan identity. Galle Fort is less than 5 km away, making it incredibly easy to explore the historic fort by a short tuk-tuk or car ride. The serene surroundings and attentive staff made my visit both relaxing and memorable. I’d happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Galle.

A lovely place to stay, where the renowned Sri Lankan hospitality is perfectly maintained. The manager is professional, and the team is wonderful. We had a fantastic time, and the food was excellent.

Delightful, this is a charming property and has a heritage legacy to it. It has been wonderfully converted to a boutique hotel. The rooms are ultra spacious and have a private lawn. The space planning of rooms is such that there is a central lawn cum courtyard. The pool is very well planned in a linear manner and is some levels down, it has a wonderful tropical vibe to it. The staff was very nice and accommodating to us esp with our requirement of veg food. They really ensured we have the best of food with multiple veg options. The manager in charge was extremely courteous and hospitable. Great hospitality.
