This boutique hotel is gorgeous!! The design, interior and surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. It is a perfect place to rest and feed your soul. The staff and service is impeccable and the food is delicious. It was by far the best place we have stayed at during our 3 month trip to Sri Lanka. I have shared it with all my friends and I cannot recommend this place enough!

Nothing. This place is well managed, clean and absolutely gorgeous.

This place is a true oasis of luxurious calm set amidst the hustle and bustle of the local town. Damith (the manager) and his small but amazingly efficient team do everything to cater for your needs with the minimum of fuss. The whole place is kept spotlessly clean, the rooms are gorgeous and comfortable. The garden, which leads directly into a small beach, is picture perfect. I could genuinely write chapter and verse about the food - simply outstanding! Having the option to dine inside, outside on a shaded table or in the delightful gazebo that has uninterrupted views out to sea (idyllic) just somehow makes the food taste even better! As the place only operates 5 rooms, it feels like everything is a personal service which, to a large extent, it is! The decor is fresh and relaxing. There is a permanent Tuk Tuk driver outside the gates to ‘whisk’ you away to wherever you need to go and a Tuk Tuk is the only way to travel short distances in my opinion (<5 miles). I simply cannot fault this place and almost don’t want to recommend it in case it becomes too popular and I can’t get a room when I next need one! Having said that, I have never felt better relaxed after a trip (and I’ve travelled a lot) than having stayed here so unreservedly recommend this place if you are thinking Galle or Unawatuna for a holiday - AMAZING!

Absolutely nothing! If you forced my hand to come up with something, the pool could be bigger but that’s not enough to move away from a score of 10

Such a lovely boutique hotel (they only have 5 rooms) We were the only guests, so we had a great service from the staff. The breakfast was the best we have had in Sri lanka during our 3 week stay. Very varied and delicious. We had dinner at the hotel a few nights and all food was excellent. The bed was super comfy as were the pillows. Access directly onto the beach which was clean. A short walk along the beach to a couple of beach bars. Lovely hotel garden with tree shade if required, with sunbeds and towels.

swimming pool is a little on the small side, more a plunge pool really. Big step down into the pool, which was fine for us, but might cause a problem for anyone with mobiity problems.

This wonderful oasis of a hotel might just top the list of the most memorable places we've ever stayed, not to mention eat. Every room and the entire garden looked fantastic with the most beautiful pool and direct access to the sea. Every day we enjoyed the fantastic food. The food is some of the best we have ever had. The quality and taste are amazing!! The staff did so much making our stay as best as possible. They were always sweet and ready to help and offer good advice, especially thanks to Damith. Thank you for an amazing stay! Without a doubt, we can highly recommend Satin Doll.

All good.

This boutique Hotel will grant you peace and pleasant moments during your stay, is furnished with style and elegance and has a wide garden, a small but very elegant and useful pool for when the tide is high and there a lot of big waves on the beach. The chef is very capable and skilled, will please your food needs at every meal, breakfast included! The few rooms are spacious, luxurious and extremely comfortable. Staff will tidy it up every time you leave the room. Talpe is very close to the charming Galle and Unawatuna but also Koggala, Mirissa, and Waligama are easy to reach with the local and very cheap bus service.

Everything was just perfect…

It is no exaggeration to say this is possibly the best small hotel we have ever stayed in. Our room and terrace led on to an area of grass and trees in front of a fence overlooking the ocean. We ate at a table nearby, while cute palm squirrels played and monkeys visited above. The quality of the food was very high - notably the egg hoppers at breakfast. The manager and the other staff were all delightful and most helpful.

Nothing.

Situated on a lovely part of the beach . Be aware that due to the reef, it's not suitable for swimming but plenty of spots nearby.. It's suitable for a dip. It's lovely to hear the waves crashing in at night Staff are fantastic, and the Sri Lankan breakfast is a must try - delicious ! All breakfast options were delicious. Nice plunge pool Very clean rooms with mossie net and tea and coffee Very comfortable bed

We loved our stay. The staff were wonderful and we ate supper there every night as the food was excellent. Best breakfast ever and best mango I have ever had and I’m old! Peaceful and beautiful. Wonderfully comfortable beds and pillows.

Nothing

Beautiful calm hotel, lovely garden overlooking the sea. There are only a few rooms so it is quiet. We had breakfast at a table they arranged looking at the sea. The room was a good size with a big bathroom. Staff were very kind and helpful.

The pillows were not great. Nothing else negative to say at all.

All is perfect in this hotel: 1. Villas are comfortable, spacious, beautiful and clean 2. Territory is a green garden with an amazing lawn 3. Delicious Breakfasts on the ocean beach with the view to the waves and local stick fishermen 4. Hotel staff takes care of you every moment, solving all your problems with great creativity 5. Dinners are also delicious (both Local food and European dishes)
