Marikar and his lovely wife (a retired English teacher) made us very welcome right from the start - you couldn’t wish for nicer hosts! Marikar drove us to station and helped us in mobile phone shop. The location is just absolutely ideal - right in the heart of the Fort, but not noisy at all. We had a room with two singles and a double, sharply sloping roof (mind your head!), plenty of space, good air conditioner, hot shower - and loads of character! Exceptionally good value. Room maybe a little tatty, mattresses a bit lumpy - but that just all adds to the character, and we absolutely loved it (and the hosts).

We had such a wonderful time at Lighthouse Guest! Our host Merica and his family were so lovely to us, and our two rooms were excellent with good air conditioning, WiFi, showers and cozy rooms. The location is perfect and it is well worth the price! Strongly recommend!

Wonderful place with amazing family as hosts. The locasion is in the very centre of the old town, in a quiet narrow street with spectacular terrace over it. The hosts are helpful, knowing good English, comunicative. Loved the afternoons together. You have access to fridge and can make your tee/coffee anytime. The internet is working, rooms are clean. Strongly recommended!
No complaints, everything was perfect.

I titolari molto accoglienti, disponibili per qualsiasi informazione. Il titolare si era proposto per accompagnarci alla stazione dei pullman gratuitamente. Posizione ottima. Stanza molto grande
Stanza trasandata con ventilatori sporchi e arrugginiti. Molto sporca. Il bagno scrostrato sporco e con una saponetta lercia abbandonata sul lavandino che non credo sia mai stato pulito. Gli scendi letto non commentabili Non adeguato a chi ha problemi di mobilità in quanto per raggiungere la camera bisogna salire due rampe di scale molto ripide e strette. Presenza di una sola asciugamano e niente carta igienica

Its so close to the fort, lighthouse and beach. Its a very very old Dutch period house All amenities were there. the pantry was stacked with tea bags, coffee sachets, water heater etc. clean space, good rooms and ofcourse Dutch architecture was wonderful.. evening walk at the streets was just amazing..
Cost was a little high but remembers its way cheaper than other properties in the same location. Also, the owner is very very supportive and takes stand for the visitors of his property. Hosts wife is also very supportive.

The location of the accommodation is very good, in the middle of the historic centre of Galle. The rooms are arranged around a nice green backyard and the operators are very nice and helpful.
The rooms are very basic, which is not a problem in itself, but unfortunately also a little run-down. The bathroom in particular has seen better days.

The family who run this place are amazing. They were informative about Galle, highlighting the history, local eating places and sites to visit. We enjoyed our chats. They helped us with arrangements for our onward train journey. We really enjoyed our 1 night stay and only wished we had stayed a little longer ❤️

Super zentral gelegen um die Stadt zu erkunden. Alles ist sehr zentral und einladent zum herumspazieren. Wurde sehr herzlich empfangen, bekam hilfreiche Tipps. Zimmer sind ruhig, mit allem ausgestattet was es braucht. Kleines Cafe im Haus beziehungsweise ist es möglich selber Cafe oder Tee zu machen und dann, auf dem Balkon geniessen. Wurde sogar bei der Abreise mit dem Auto zur Bushaltestelle gebracht. Nochmals herzlichen Dank für diese unetgeltliche Fahrt und Hilfeleistung. Nach einer guten halben Stunde Wartezeit sass ich dann im Buss und der Gastgeber winkte zum Abschied.
Habe nichts zu beanstanden.

Awesome location, room and hosts.
Merica greeted me as soon as my cab pulled up, and was there as we pulled away, too. I felt so taken care of throughout my stay.
The hosts are so personable and welcoming, which I really appreciated traveling as a solo female. It was so nice talking with them and even meeting their 1-1/2 yr old grandson, (who is an awesome, adorable fist bumper.)
They offered info and directions for the Heritage Week events.
The room I got was great. It was very clean. I felt very cozy and absolutely loved it.
Common area included a hot water kettle, tea and coffee.
The location is amazing, and I’m so happy I decided to spend a little more to stay at a great place inside the fort. Close to look out over the ocean, catch the beautiful sunsets, and close to the great cafes, restaurants and shops.
Very enjoyable visit. Highly recommend staying here.

Merikar! He was the best! Truly, whenever there was wildlife that you could see from the balcony he would let my children know. We saw families of monkeys pass by and peacocks and lizards down below in the gutters. 😄 everything on the fort is in walking distance and has two coffee shops right on same block. Plenty of amazing restaurants and I suggest you ask around to find the ones owned locally because these are gorgeous heritage properties that have been in their families for generations. We especially loved Al Forno for breakfast and Church st for dinner. Leave room for a different gelato or ice cream shop every night. 🤣 mornings are great for snorkeling on the beach below the wall. Great variety of fish!! Just bring your own snorkeling gear as we did because as far as we found there is none available on the fort.
Nothing. We knew going into it that we would be in attic type rooms to fit our family of six and they were so cute and cozy. Merikar even dropped all six of us and luggage off at the bus station in his own car when we left.🤩 Best home stay ever!

Excellent location, very easy to reach from the train/bus station and a short walk away from many attractions/restaurants. Mr Marikar is a very friendly host who was very helpful and responded immediately to all our requests. Even stored my medicines in his fridge and administered my eye drops. Organised a trishaw to take us to the Unawatuna beach and negotiated a very good rate for the trip. Took the family room, advertised to sleep 4 but could have fitted 5 into the comfortable beds.
The room has a sloping roof and the ceiling is low on one side so just be careful not to bump your head! :) It was not an issue for our party of three though.

The owner was amazing. Wa's really kind and helpful
The location in the heart of the fort was perfect for long walks and places to go see and eat in.
The room was so hot due to it being in the lift.
The aircon wasn't really helpful, and we had to remove 3 massive cockraoches from the room.
We left a day early due to changed plans.

The thing I liked most about this place was the owner, whose name is Merica (That's not the correct spelling). This man was genuinely friendly and went out of his way to drive me to the bus station and put me on the right bus - what a gent'. The room I had was clean a comfortable, although maybe could do with a little renovation.
Some of the fixtures and fittings in the bathroom need to be replaced.

We have been travelling sri lanka a few weeks now and this was the best place we stayed. the room is clean and has warm showers. Perfect location in the fort and remains very quiet for a good nights sleep. we felt this was the safest place we have stayed. Marikar was the perfect host, very good English, he makes sure you have his contact details to get in contact with him if you need, he’s available when required and if you have any questions ask him. we hired mopeds for 2 days to explore the surrounding areas Marikar rang around a few places and took us to get them. he dropped us off at the train station and made sure we got on the correct train. perfect place to stay and lovely family, very welcoming and friendly. thank you so much!

Excellent location and Marikar was a wonderful host. He picked us up from the train station in his car and made an effort to help our boys spot the peacocks and monkeys out of the balcony. Our rooms had plenty of space and we enjoyed being in the middle of historic Galle. Marikar was also very helpful in arranging taxis.
