Eco Square Resort

Only 5 minute walk from the beach and some cheap places to eat off the beach. Hotel was clean and comfortable, although basic room a little cramped. Better to pay the little extra for deluxe room if you want a bit of space, more mosquitos in this room though!

Basic rooms in a good part of the beach town. Friendly staff, cheap eats, and mosquito nets.

Perhaps due to the fact that we stayed at the ground floor, there were lots of mosquitoes in the room - felt very itchy. Staff is helpful. Location is good.

I could not wait to leave the hotel. I would've left earlier if it weren't for the non refundable clause. When I left, there were only one room occupied, the rest left. The hotel's owner/manager's child appeared to run the hotel. She screams every time she did not get her way, which was every 5 minutes. She drove me and other guests out of the hotel. A tyrant 3 year old girl runs the hotel !!!!!

room is clean,close to seaside,the host is very nice,i love this guesthouse so much

It is a nice and place, 5 minutes walk from the beach, then no big noise form the beach parties or the main street. Very clean comparing it to other place in Sri Lanka e with very good price.

The standards of the room and ensuite exceeded our expectations. They are impeccably clean, modern and spacious. The hotel is a short walk to the beach down a quite country road. The owner is very helpful and the service was excellent. There are mosquito nets around the beds which is a good thing because at night the sounds of the jungle remind you that nature is not very far away. Be sure to bring earplugs or you may struggle to sleep through the noise.

Not right on the beach front (more expensive places and also fully booked at this time of year) or along the main coastal road to Galle (noisy and most places the wrong side to beach anyway), Eco Square is about a 5 minute, easy walk from bus stop and beach directly inland from main road down a side road then set off a lane. I had booked the cheapest room through Agoda, unfortunately, the pictures shown on the website of these rooms were actually of the more expensive, brand new bungalow they had built; not one of the basic rooms they had on offer within their family home! I could not upgrade as the new rooms were full. However, this room still was clean and comfortable enough with my own bathroom (cold water only). Windows had no bars or nets so had to keep them closed but the fan meant it wasn't too stuffy. They have wifi but it was set so I couldn't access it (had to got to café down the road). However the couple were lovely and welcoming, made me a packed breakfast and saw me off for my whale watching trip at 5.50am! Actually a very peaceful place to stay, a decent location and a very warm welcome - I would definitely recommend it. Nothing to do with the hotel, but I was warned by a local not to walk round at night by myself as things are starting change and not nice things are starting to happen. I never felt threatened, but then because of early starts I was not out at night.
