Jetwing Lighthouse

This review is in comparison to other hotels I have stayed at in and outside of Sri Lanka. The rooms are small, the floor plan is awkward. The beaches right next to the hotel are dirty and a bit dangerous to swim in so you will have to take a taxi for at least 35 minutes to get to the closest half decent beach. The closest attraction where you can find nice restaurants and things to do is at least a 10 minute drive away. The view is nothing special by Sri Lankan standards. What I found most annoying was that assurances given over the phone turned out to be wrong. They ended up charging more as a result. Arranging the bedding was a colossal headache, we were assured it would be completed and ready within an hour. We came back 5 hours later and nothing was done. Information given about swimming locations in the local area was also wrong. At this price point, you can find much better hotels in this area let alone Sri Lanka in general. To finish of, I just saw a cockroach walk into the floorboards.

Latest addition to my favourite hotels list.
One of the best experiences so far. Hotel is beautiful and nostalgic. The beauty of nature is evoked in building the hotel. (Bava) I couldn’t get enough of the view of ocean waves in the restaurant. It was beautiful!
Hotel is quite big had 2 pools, a garden and a nice viewpoint.
View from the room was excellent. We stayed in a suite in which we had a pool and a tub with a jacuzzi. The room was very spacious.
Food was great and staff was nice too. Will surely visit again.

There was no proper pos machine to accept my debit card transaction. Thay waisted half and hour from my time to take small transaction for take away bill. Poor the service of front counter at 7.15 pm 1st of jan 2022.

Visited this place a few years ago, amazing hotel, good service and the breakfast was fantastic.

Very disappointed, we had reserved the largest suite with swimming pool, we arrived at 2 pm and the room was not free, we had to wait until 6 pm except that at 6 pm it was still not free. They therefore offered us a small suite without a pool and offered us dinner which is just inadmissible when you pay € 400 a night. No organization, the receptionist was panicked by the situation and no manager took over!

Extremely scenic spot and a really beautiful hotel as well. Food was pretty good too. Definitely not the best food in town but good enough to warrant a visit.

It's a lovely hotel, staff very friendly and helpful, but the food is priced too high, and Very less choice

Amazing experience! Loved the rooms and the pool right beside the ocean. From the pool we walked 40 metres to the beach where a man cut coconuts from the trees, and gave us. Simply sublime!

We stayed at jetwing kurulubedda and came to lighthouse for dinner. The food was terrible. Service was good. Staff was very polite. If you’re someone who knows how good food tastes like, this really isn’t the place for you. Not recommending!

Bawa's gem in Galle. Good food. Amazing ambience. If you want to stay, go for the original section of suits designed by Geoffrey Bawa. You will surely cherish the experience.

Great place for take photos. Large and comfy rooms are available. Food was delicious. Friendly staff. There were 2 Large pools. Good place to be relaxed.

Great environment. Large rooms with the fine architectural touch of Jeffrey bawa. Two large pools with Stunning view. Very friendly staff. One downside is the variety of the breakfast buffet. Also some food doesn't taste good. High piece is the other downside. If the prices are a bit less, definitely will attract more crowd.

Their service is excellent even in this pandemic period. A very friendly and hospitable staff. They only had one masseuse in their spa and she did an excellent job. Hats off to her. Their food was very good and had some varieties as well. They even had their own pet dogs in their premise and they are very friendly with the guests. Our stay their was magnificent!

The rooms were clean and big. The pool was awesome. The staff were extremely friendly. Very helpful. The food wasnt that great. No distinctive spread. Would i visit again? Not very soon.

We had booked the larger room with the private pool.when arriving, this one was not available because it was still occupied by the former owner.we are asked to wait until 6 p.m. To take it (knowing that we were staying only one night and that it is at 400 € per night). We come back at 6 pm and the room is still not ready.we are offered a room without a pool and much smaller and to offer us a dinner for the same price in return.anything for a hotel of this standard.the receptionist was panicked and no one to help her. I will surely not recommend this hotel

Jetwing Lighthouse, designed by a famous Sri Lankan architect, Geoffrey Bawa, is one of my favourite hotels. The hotel was super clean and beautiful. The entire staff is always very friendly and helpful. The food was yummy but their À la carte prices are absurd.
We had a great stay at Jetwing Lighthouse!

Had a really nice dining experience here. Food is really good and worth every rupee
Staff is also really friendly and helpfull

Hands down the best hotel in Sri Lanka. I have been to almost all the high end hotels but never found a place as good as Lighthouse. Service, food, rooms are exceptional.

Especially after Covid many other hotels I went to was cutting down big time. Not when it comes to Jetwing. Exceptional, will visit again for sure!

View, hospitality, food everything was worth the amount we paid. If you visit srilank do visit one of their hotels. We did keep this as our last stay so that we can relax after our crazy trip.

Very beautiful place which loving to stay long. Very friendly and helpful staff, beautiful atmosphere and very clean place to spend a holiday. Food was very very delicious. Value for money.
