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.

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!

The calm and peaceful nature of the place is the best if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. The hospitality of the staff specially Mr. Chatura , the property Manager was very helpful , checking up on everything, truly brings out the best in the stay. Food was amazingly good , specially the Sri Lankan taste and the place is well maintained with a historical touch. Definitely a Gem of a place is this beautiful masterpiece Tamarind Hill , loved every bit of the time spent here ❤️

An absolutely beautiful and iconic property. It's architecture , layout and housekeeping are a reflection of old Sri Lanka and the Dutch influence down south. We were met with warm hospitality, with a grand four course menu for dinner, yet within the elegance of a cozy intimate setting. Highly recommended.

Tamarind hills have always been a favorite place to travel too. The colonial architecture built into still suits even in the modern day. Great place for intimate wedding functions too or even for family gatherings. Rooms are nice, comfortable and very spacious. Perfect for a gateway too if you’re looking for one. It’s around 1.5-2.0kms away from Galle fort which is ideal too. Would definitely revisit!

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.

We loved our stay at Tamarind Hill! They greeted us with tasty tamarind juice, which was cool and refreshing. The staff were super kind and always smiling. Can’t get started with the room, it was huge and beautiful, with big windows. Breakfast was amazing, with lots of food snd a wide variety like hoppers, curries, and eggs, all made just how we wanted. It was a great time, and we can’t wait to come back!
