Very friendly staff and helpful manager. Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing. Room (deluxe) very large and provided extra bed for kids. Short 10 min walk to galle fort. Room very clean and great housekeeping. Pool towels provided. Some minor maintenance issues could do with addressing around pool (tile grouting).

Fantastic stay!
The team at VUD we’re amazing and went above expectations! They surprised my partner with room lights and decorations plus cake for his birthday just from noting his date of birth for checkin! It was so appreciated and unexpected! The room was huge and had everything we needed. It’s located a short walk for Galle Fort. The breakfasts were also delicious! Thanks VUD team for your kindness and lovely service. We highly recommend staying at VUD!!

I had the best time staying here. There was something about the open plan space that made me feel so comfortable. There was beautiful music playing throughout the villa and fragrant incense which just added to the awesome feel of this place. The staff were AMAZING! So friendly, so considerate and went out of their way to help and make sure I had a perfect stay. The pool and outside deck are wonderful, the rooms are huge, clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I planned only to stay one night but ended up staying 4 because it was just too good here. I will be coming back for sure.

worst hotel ever!!
worst hotel experience ever. they don't tell you anything there and I went out for some drinks only to return at night and they locked the gate to the building and the door to the Villa. I had to climb over gate. bang on the door until another guest opened the door for me and he wasn't happy about it. don't blame him. no staff anywhere. and the key to my door didn't work. I ended up sleeping on a couch. while trying to get my door open the key broke and I ended up arguing with the Manger next day and he made me pay for the key. it was either that or fight the guy which he was about to call the police as well do not stay at this hotel ever!!!

Very very disappointing!
Extremely disappointing!! We were more than happy to leave after less than 24 hours at this hotel. Would not recommend others to stay there. Just to mention a few things: dirty, smelly room no wifi (in spite of the manager telling us that there was) breakfast was re-used from a different table. Really disgusting to have old butter and toast that had already been served for someone else who knows how long ago

We required a one night stay and this hotel was adequate for a brief stopover. Breakfast ( included) was standard fruit and eggs. Quite okay.

지금까지 묵었던 숙소 중에서 가장 좋았습니다. 에어컨도 잘 나오고, 뜨거운 물도 잘 나오고, 세면 도구도 있습니다. 조식이 아주 훌륭합니다. 건물 주인이 아주 친절합니다. 멋진 대화를 나눌 수 있습니다.

酒店很新 但就是马屎皮面光 除了新 其他都很一般。首先洗澡水不是冷水就是烫得要死的热水 没有中间档 而且房间里蚊子巨多 第二天起来一看手臂和手背全是被蚊子咬的小红疙瘩 wifi也是可以完全忽略 几乎是没信号 另外老板太坑爹了 退房的时候说我们在房间里抽烟要罚我们款 我承认我朋友是在房间里抽烟了 但是抽的时候你怎么不来说 等我们住了三天要走了来给我们说我们每天都在房间抽烟 这不摆明就是敲我们钱嘛 而且因为我本人不喜欢闻烟味 所以我朋友基本都是在房间的阳台上抽的 我也给老板说了我朋友是在阳台抽了 他居然把我带到房间说地下是脏的 是因为烟灰造成的 我当时没差点气死 我们在那住了三个晚上 没有任何人来打扫房间 我们进屋又没脱鞋 等于地上能不脏吗 算了 当时因为赶时间怕误了飞机 也难得和他说了 而且浴巾很旧 总之当地人都不怎么老实 来的小伙伴注意一下啊
