The hotel is beautifully decorated, as good as the city it's located in. Breakfast is delicious. The stairs to the mezzanine are a bit steep, making it a bit dangerous to walk down to the bathroom at night.

The location is great, easily accessible by car and in a great spot to explore Galle on foot. The room was comfortable and the staff so friendly. Breakfast each morning is freshly prepared, including fresh fruit and local specialities. The garden area is lovely and I enjoyed sitting out in the fresh air with my kindle. We had a wonderful stay at Parawa House and the staff couldn’t have done more for us!

THE BREAKFAST WAS GENEROUS AND JUST PERFECT. THE FRUIT WAS FRESH AND TASTY, THE PANCAKES WERE SOFT AND FLUFFY, THE SAUSAGE, EGGS AND TOAST WERE ON-POINT. WE ALSO HAD JUICE, FRESH COFFEE AND TEA AND IT WAS ALL VERY GOOD.
THE WI-FI/INTERNET CONNECTIVITY WAS TERRIBLE AND THE TOWELS SEEM OLD AND A BIT WORN / ROUGH TO THE TOUCH. ONE BEDSIDE PLUG-POINT WAS NOT WORKING. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FAULTLESS.

We were upgraded to their sister property (the Dutch Bungalow) a block away. We had a fantastic stay! The staff, the property and location were top notch! Breakfast was great too, and included. shout out to Asantha and staff at the Dutch Bunglow for fantastic customer service and for making our stay memorable!
Nothing to add here.

Parawa house was a beautiful place to stay in Galle. The hospitality was great, breakfast was fresh and delicious. The room was spacious and clean, there was also a fan and an A/C for extra comfort. We got upgraded which was lovely surprise. We loved our stay at Parawa house.
We did request an early check in that was approved however we did have to wait 2 hours for our rooms so after a long flight we were quite uncomfortable in our travel clothes while exploring the city. The bathrooms could use a look over in terms of final touches such as paint splatter and a bit of mold however nothing that couldn’t be fixed easily.

It is in an excellent location in Galle Fort. It’s on a side street (feels like a narrow lane, in reality, but that’s urban history for you!) but close to Pedlar St which has good restaurants and some gelaterias. There’s a very good curry restaurant across the lane. The fort area is quickly walkable and lots of options for eating, drinking, and exploring in general. The room was very nicely made up and the breakfasts were excellent.
Nothing to say - all I needed was a comfortable room and a decent breakfast and attentive staff and all that is present here.

Poor
The hotel was in a fantastic location with a very cute design. We loved the central courtyard and couches outside each room to have the option of sitting outside the room. The staff greeted us with great energy and we were initially excited to have chosen this place.
Unfortunately our stay was severely impacted by a complete lack of water to the room - no functioning shower, tap or (importantly) toilet after we returned from dinner until 9:30am the next morning. This made basic hygiene and comfort impossible. Upon reporting this information, staff said they would look into it but we received no updates or meaningful communication until the water did eventually come back on hours later. We understand water issues can be outside the property's control. However what was most disappointing was the way the situation was handled. No apology or explanation was provided at the time and when we asked if any form of compensation would be offered the response from management was unhelpful and deeply uncomfortable - after a long conversation where the manager made excuses such as "no one else has complained" we were offered the equivalent of USD$1.67 with the suggestion this would come from the staff's own wages! This left us feeling manipulated rather than supported. We chose Parawa house based on its great reviews and it's a shame our experience did not reflect that. I would not feel confident recommending this property to others based on how this situation was handled.
