Jetwing Kurulubedda

Where friendly staff, quite and calm
Location. However hotel is really small, even though the name portrays kurulu”bedda”. There is almost no place to walk around. Walking path to see birds is less than 400ms at the most. Food/staff service is quite good. They offer meal
Upgrades at jetwing lighthouse. Overall i would
Give 6/10 and will not pay more than 30k full board. (Unfortunately i went on high season for 49 half board)

Nice place to visit and very good for couples. Great service with delicious meals and this located near the kepu ela stream and this very close to galle town. Calm place no rush.

What a gem of a hotel. If you are like me, don’t like the normal huddle and bustle of a busy hotel this is for you. Just relaxing, and were served very well by Gayan. One of the best relaxing places we went to. Checked in on a Monday and checked out Tuesday. Extra mile taken for delicious food. Beautiful architecture and serene. Have great discounts at times

Nice little place among large green trees. 6 villas. Can join buffet at Lighthouse. So quiet and peaceful.
Staff is excellent.

Lovely place. This was my second stay of 3 nights in the Villa #1 (one with the private plunge pool). I loved my first stay so much that I simply had to return, within a few weeks with my partner in tow; we stayed for another 3 nights!

The hospitality of Sameera and his team (Asanka, Gayan and Shantha - thank you very much!) is exceptional. The team is small and yet they run a tight ship- always attentive, yet unintrusive to their guests.

This is a beautiful place nestled amongst lush greenery and a paddy field. It is an ideal environment to connect with nature. We had monkeys in the treetops just outside our dwelling, kingfishers, waterhens, egrets and various other tropical birds, tree frogs and chipmunks. We also had a visit from a peacock on our final evening!

Do note: this is a place for those seeking tranquility, therefore, not a place for those looking to indulge in loud group resort-style holidays or loud music. Ideal for solo travellers or for a couple who value nature. Visitors should respect the natural environment, and the team that work hard to sustain this incredible experience.

Food wise, there is a selection in-house; as Kurulubedda is a part of the Jetwing group, meals are also available at the nearby Lighthouse Hotel (walking distance). Kurulubedda is also a short tuk journey away from the Galle town, Galle Dutch Fort etc.

I am already planning my return to this magical place!

The experience was okay. I will start with the negatives first.

The property is situated in a corner of a byroad, which is not visitor-friendly. Once you enter the property, you can see some of the nearby houses. The height of the boundary wall could have been increased to provide some sort of barrier to cover those houses. Also you can here noices made by people around and dogs. However, the rest of the property is fine.
I spent my days in Villa 1. When you are in the water closet area with the lights on at night, you can be seen by anyone in the car park.
Since the rooms are covered with glass, you have to pull down the blinds. Sometimes there is a gap between the blinds, and the room is not always perfectly covered. This can be a cause for concern, as you may be spotted by the staff or visitors from the next villa.
On the second morning of our stay, we received our breakfast at around 10 a.m, which was supposed to be at 9 a.m.
Apart from these issues, all of the other experiences were superb, especially the customer service. Special thanks to Gayan.

It's a solo friendly hotel. I had a very relaxed time there. Food, location, staff (special thanks to Mr. Sameera), cleanliness and privacy were excellent. They provide facilities to dine at Jetwing Lighthouse too. Spa facility is available at the Lighthouse hotel. Travelling between 2 hotels was not a big trouble as both are close by.

Great stay from beginning to the end. We were looking for a quiet place and reconnect with nature and this place exceeded our expectations! We had a room at the upper floor, we woke up with all kind of birds, monkeys, peacocks.just right in front of us. The service was impeccable, always asking if we need anything, always there when we needed - all with a genuine smile - being able to also enjoy the pools and beach at their nearby lighthouse branch was also a super cool treat so we got the best of both worlds: jungle boutique resort and beachfront luxury experience!

Loved the ambiance and the room amenities. Plunge pool was good as well. Staff is also very friendly. If you want, You can arrange your breakfast from the jetwing lighthouse hotel which is nearby

Not as expected. There are only 6 rooms available. 2 with inner pool and 4 normal rooms. Rooms are spacious and clean. But the hotel surrounding is not good as expected. There is a pool with a small paddy field in front of the rooms and a 50m walking path. That’s it. Total hotel can be covered within 10 minutes. No gym or spa. They don’t even have a kitchen to prepare food. If you book for a full board, your food will be delivered from Jetwing lighthouse. Or you can go to jetwing lighthouse to have your food.

Overall, not up to jetwing’s standards

The Location is perfect, food is average. They offered us a breakfast @the lighthouse hotel. Good Staff and they are adding a value to the word of
" Hospitality ". Special thank to the manager Nishantha.

Few things to be upgrade. Not answering the phones and etc.

Situated in a calm, serene location perfect if you are looking to get away from the chaotic city scapes. The villas are spacious and well maintained. The staff is so friendly. Had dimmer at Jetwing Lighthouse which includes the rates and breakfast at Kurulubedda. Meals were delicious and more than enough. Had a great time there. Much recommended.

Amazing location, staff and scenery.

Disappointed about the dwelling with plunge pool as it's on the bottom floor near the entrance so lil animals can get in.

Staff was amazing! Hats off to Gayan for making our stay awsome.

Small cabana type villa. Suitable for couples. Small area to walk around the hotel. You can go for Jetwing Light house buffet.

Tried to get through so many times. When we finally got through we were put on hold and then hung up on. Same with Jetwing lighthouse. Very disappointing service from the front desk staff. If you don’t want customers please shut down your services as it seems utterly pointless.

Well-maintained property. Satisfied service. Foods are tasty. I went on my honeymoon. This day was a rainy day We couldn't have to walk around walking paths. I recommend perfect place for honeymoon

I enjoyed the stay here, but there are a few things to note.

The hotel is not very large & borders on a few private properties (mostly homes). I didn't hear any noise or had any disturbances, but that may become a possibility.
The rooms are large and nice. However, i felt like certain maintenance was skipped (some blinds couldn't be opened as the chains just didn't do anything, our shower had the rain shower selector stuck).
There is no espresso machine in the property (or it was not functioning when i visited), which i found super annoying.
There is not much you can do in the hotel property as it's not very large - so you are either restricted to the pool, room or short walk up to the river.
SPA which is located at jetwing lighthouse was not great. The prices was too much and the sessions not worth the price. We had a hard time understanding the therapists, as they didn't speak clear English and spoke very few words to convey the information.

I however should reiterate, we did not have a single disturbance and had a very relaxing stay.

For all the above shortcomings, the staff made up by being very enthusiastic and eagerness of them to help us out on each request. Everything was clean and spotless when we got the room in the first place.
The food was excellent and we had a decent number of choices for the food. Even some of our "off the menu" requests were met without additional charge (your mileage may vary).
During our stay we could even go to their larger property (jetwing lakehouse which is less than 1km away) and have any of the regular meals at no additional cost.

Amazing place. The mature and setup of the place is great. You can't complain about food and drinks. Brilliant!

Awesome Experience. Super cool.
Specially Thanks to Gayan. He is truly nice guy. Very much supported to us. Very polite and provide everything as we requested.

If any senior management see this review please support him. He is a truly gem to Jetwing Light house. I have never seen a guy that much kind and helpful to customers in my entire life.

Thanks jetwing Family️️️
Food was awesome at Kurulubadda.

Light house buffet no that good. Most foods not have any taste.

Amazing stay. Beautiful location. We were privileged to even see a peacock across our room.
Mosquitoes are a problem, as expected (not n your room)
So ill recommend anyone that wants to dine in not to go in the morning.
The manager provided us with a 5 star service.
