Overall Ratings & Reviews Mango House

Great location!!!!!! Great breakfast!!!!! In the hart of Fort

This is a lovely historic house presented with style and charm, and high standards. The staff provide the best service and are very attentive. Setting is just gorgeous with visiting shy groups of purple-faced leaf monkeys and peacocks passing through along the high walls and trees from time as you sit in the cool palm filled courtyards. And added, an excellent menu with both traditional and modern mix so well presented and tasty served in a lovely restaurant-bar setting on the deep verandahs.

Kind and attentive staff. Fantastic location for exploring the old fort area of Galle and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets and crescent moon. Very good food, carefully prepared. Decorative and photogenic. Upgraded to a room with a courtyard, which was unexpected and very welcome.

This property was centrally located to access the wonders of Galle Fort, but set in a quiet lane away from the main foot traffic. The Courtyard and entry to the property burst with colour and wonderful scents. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast options were the best we came across in Sri Lanka. The rooms were clean but moderate in size with limited space for large luggage.

Absolutely awesome guesthouse, staff are wonderful, location is excellent, food is fantastic… highly recommend this guesthouse

Staff were very nice and helpful but property was a little overpriced

Great central location

Welcome drink with fresh fruit juice.Nice breakfast.

Loverly Hotel with lots of lush greenery in Galle Fort. Very central and a short walk to Pedler Street and loads of restaurants and cafes

Overall this was the worst quality room and most expensive of our entire Sri Lanka trip. The toilet didn’t flush and the room was extremely small overall. The biggest problem was that on the final morning of our stay, we left the room for two hours to get breakfast and when we returned my backpack was obviously tampered with. My phone charger was outside my bag and had been put inside, with the bag subsequently zipped up. I was disturbed but also didn’t immediately notice anything was missing at the time (computer, camera and other valuables still present) and carried on traveling as our driver was waiting us outside. A few hours after leaving in the next city I noticed $400 of cash was taken from my bag and I realized it had definitely occurred at Mango House during the housekeeping hours. I brought this to the attention of the hotel management and they offered zero apologies. The owner exchanged WhatsApp’s with me and also offered no apologies and continuously said it was my fault for not keeping it in the safe. While I agree maybe I am the idiot, realize I stayed in four other properties during my trip in Sri Lanka and ALL had surveillance cameras. This one did not and had very bad and clumsy locks on the doors, especially given the price of the room. Avoid this place at all costs, if not only for lack of professionalism and accountability on the part of the ownership. Was a regrettable end to 10 fabulous days in Sri Lanka.

Very nice hotel. Made a breakfast to go very early for us.

Hotel room was very simple but service was excellent and staff is very kind. I didn’t expect breakfast so much because price was very reasonable but we could order preferred breakfast and it was too much for my family.

It was in a great location beautiful setting and very comfortable two night stay. Staff very friendly and helpful

Gorgeously renovated house

Great location, close to all the sights, shops, restaurants and bars. Good value for a charming stay in th centre of Galle Fort.

I would highly recommend Mango House as a place to stay in Galle. Great location, lovely rooms, sweet staff. An oasis.

Great location, walk everywhere. Friendly efficient arrival/ check in but room very disappointing. No fresh air ( only internal window to common area). Good breakfast service seated in attractive walled garden. Seems manager not permitted to offer upgrade, even though we were the only guests?

We only stayed for one night but wished we could have stayed longer! Mango house is ideally located with the old walls and is so peaceful. It is beautifully decorated and has a very calm atmosphere. The children especially lived the bed on the platform! The breakfast was amazing with a choice of 'full english', continental or traditional Sri Lankan and there was a lot of food. Highly recommended!

This is one of the few hotels within the fort that has a garden, which makes for a lovely place to relax after a long hot day of walking. The staff is wonderful and attentive without being overbearing, and the property has been beautifully maintained. One of the particularly nice touches is the complimentary tea on the ground floor, where there's a table set up with a kettle (and cookies!) for guests to brew their own cups at leisure.

Lovely old house and wonderfully renovated. It is like staying in someone's home. Rooms are great. Fabulous breakfast in the courtyard, where the monkeys come to visit in the morning to eat the mangos growing on the tree. Great staff.
