The staff and the food at Bilin were equally amazing. We were looking forward to seeing what type of surprise was waiting for us at breakfast each day. Indiga (spelling?) and the staff were so accommodating and were ready to assist at every turn. We were even invited to a NYE celebration in the area which turned out to be a blast. The Lotus room we stayed in was spacious and the bed was unbelievably comfortable.

The only complaint we had (and the only reason why our stay wasn't 10 out of 10) was with the wifi. Although we could connect easily, the wifi wasn't adequate enough to send emails/do any work. However, since we weren't there for the internet, but rather to relax, it wasn't a deal-breaker.

This hotel has just 4 rooms plus another bungalow they rent out and is a little off the beaten track (5-10 mins drive to Galle) which was no issue for us as we were on a tour with a driver. We loved it - the rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable and AC worked well. They don't clean your rooms however each day but didn't bother us (we were there 2 days). The room we had was perfect as we had our 12 year old with us and it has a mezzanine floor with an additional bed which he loved. The pool is like a little oasis and great to cool off in after a days site seeing. It's easy to get to Galle and also only about 10-15 mins the other direction to Unawatuna and other beaches which was perfect for us. We ate in Galle in the evenings. Breakfast was excellent with lovely friendly service.

Only thing would be if the rooms were cleaned once a day.

The small villa with a private garden and access to the refreshing pool with partial shade was great. The beds were very comfy. Being from a tropical country, we could appreciate the mosquito control in the villa which is not easy given the fact it is surrounded by trees. If you like walking up early to bird songs, this place is a pure delight. So is the garden - rich with a variety of flora. The staff Lahiru & Indika were super courteous, prompt and helpful. The breakfast is simple, fresh & wholesome. It is a quiet location, just a short distance away from the beaches & the fort. The villa provided some extra space to spread out our stuff. Though I'd like to make a few suggestions 1) a fan added to the living room would make it more usable. It gets quite hot. 2) the furniture in the living room can be changed to more cushiony comfortable pieces. 3) a table or a surface in the bedroom to put your luggage on would be nice. 4) the sheers in the extra bedroom let the street light in as well as the morning light in. Thicker curtains can be added for sounder sleep. This is not to say we didn't enjoy our stay. We loved it !!

Though it isn't something we didn't like but I think it's important to point out for people who it matters to. 1) the description says there is a washing machine & microwave. There isn't. For people traveling with kids or stopping over at the villa hoping to do laundry for their trip ahead this may be important. 2) it is mentioned "extra large" double bed. It is a regular sized comfortable bed. We had a good stay.

We stayed at Bilin Tree House for one night at the end of a week traveling around Southern Sri Lanka--we wanted a place with a refreshing pool and good service to end our trip on a high note. Bilin Tree House delivered with flying colors! The pool is beautiful and cool, perfect for a hot afternoon. The service is amazing - we had several questions and requests during and before our stay, and the staff went truly above and beyond to accommodate us. We happened to stay there on Avurudu/New Year's Day, and the chef prepared a beautiful and generous breakfast for us to usher in the new year together. The beds were very comfortable and the mosquito nets are high quality. The Holiday House is a perfect size for a family of 4-6, with a very nice living room area that our kids enjoyed building forts and playing hide and seek in.

We visited during a very hot/humid/mosquito-y time of year, and the garden had a lot of mosquitoes. Recommend bringing long lightweight pants/dresses and/or bug spray to prevent bites when lounging by the pool. (This goes for everywhere we stayed, not just Bilin.) I mention it only because the poolside is so lovely, it's a shame to not be prepared to enjoy it fully.

Beautiful, well-decorated place, in an absolutely mangificent garden. All in a very quiet location, yet close (by tuk tuk) to both the beautiful historic town of Galle and the beaches. But the magic of the place lies above all in the two people who run it: Indika and Layeru. Attentive to travelers and utterly professional, they welcome you and advise you, taking you to the right places. You're in total confidence. And when you come back after a good day, you feel at home. Best breakfast of our entire stay in Sri Lanka!!!!!. We recommend this place without hesitation.

Outstanding!!! I am so happy to have found this beautiful hotel! The location is ideal for going to both the Fort and Unawatuna with very cheap tuk-tuks, but in a very peaceful location. Indika and Lahiru are amazing! They were very attentive and kind and cooked our best meal in Sri Lanka. Beautiful rooms and fantastic pool. I highly recommend staying here! (We were going to stay at another hotel in the Fort, but they canceled last minute and I am so glad they did. This is a much better location with the best service.)

Nothing!!!!

Very nice villa, surrounded by a beautiful peaceful garden, a little oasis. Staff is more than friendly, they brought the kids toys for the pool and went around the garden with them explaining everything. Breakfast is delicious and fresh. The last day we got a breakfast package (we had to leave at 5AM) with extra crocodile bread for the kids ;-) , sandwiches, fresh fruit, ... They made a huge effort! We highly recommend this address!

It was really isolated and private - the pool was amazing! It was like we had the whole place to ourselves.

Not much - everything was perfect. Initially you’ll wish you were right by the beach but after a day you’ll see how nice the accommodation is and how nice the privacy is. We had the pool all to ourselves. The staff were amazing - very quick, friendly and helpful. The beach is about 15 minutes walk from the property or a 5 minute tuk drive.

Such a wonderful place. Probably the friendliest, most helpful and efficient staff team in the whole of Sri Lanka. Nothing was too much trouble. Spacious comfortable rooms with great air con, lovely garden and great swimming pool. The best breakfast in Sri Lanka and wonderful curry and rice every evening. I'll definitely be back. Thank you wonderful staff team😊

There was nothing I disliked

Gorgeous little haven! So tranquil with lovely grounds, the rooms were lovely - a nice way to end our trip with a bit of luxury! The staff were so friendly and helpful (we accidentally arrived a day early and they helped us find alternative accommodation for the night as they were fully booked) they helped us with transport to galle fort and recommended visiting their sister hotel at the beach which was also beautiful!
