stayed at Why House with a group of friends From 07th July 2015 to 09th July 2015

Beatiful property with large and comfortable rooms. We stayed in a family suite, perfect for a family of four. Great bathroom and good beds. Large and clean swimming pool, which our kids loved. Fantastic food, well prepared. Good Wifi, accessible from all locations in the house. A great thank you to the attentive and friendly staff which made our stay a memorable one!

stayed at Why House with a group of friends and their families From 09th May 2015 to 11th May 2015

We stayed at Why House for 5 nights back in early May. Even before we arrived at the hotel, we were in contact with Keith who managed our booking and was so helpful in organising all our requests beforehand. Having taken a red-eye flight into Colombo and driving straight down, we didn't arrive at Why House until 3 in the morning, so it was such a lovely and unexpected surprise to be welcomed by so many warm staff and little Jelly, their adorable dachshund. Waking up the next morning here was incredible. Quiet and intimate, this hotel has a very different feel to the large but somewhat soulless hotels we had stayed at in the past. The rooms are large and comfortable, and are placed privately amongst beautiful surroundings and the swimming pool. Henrietta and her staff are truly the warmest and kindest people who have ever looked after us at a hotel - after just a few minutes, they feel like old friends and we had so many evenings enjoying incredible food, wine and company. The staff really went over and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Meal times are more communal-style, which may not be for everyone, but for us, it made our holiday that much more memorable. We were asked every morning what we wanted for dinner and were never disappointed. Located on Talpe, Who House is only a few minutes away from beaches and great restaurants and a quick tuk-tuk ride from Galle, although we rarely had much desire to leave the hotel! We couldn't recommend Why House more to our friends and look forward to many repeat visits in the future.

stayed at Why House with a group of friends From 16th January 2014 to 18th January 2014

We have never booked a small hotel before so we thought we would try Why House and we were not the least bit disappointed. Wonderful staff beautifully engineered by Henrietta and Sanath with nothing too much trouble for anybody. Great bedroom with a stunning bathroom, fab. pool and a lovely atmosphere. I think that nice smiling staff must give off good vibes as all of the other guests were great too making our little break one to remember.

stayed at Why House with a group of friends From 04th December 2013 to 07th December 2013

Our family, all 19 of them, have just returned from an amazing holiday at The Why House. We stayed over Christmas and Hen pulled out all the stops to make it feel like home, which was truly fantastic as we have two smaller children. We all felt so relaxed as nothing was too much trouble for the team at Why House. The accommodation was perfect, it really has been the most amazing experience we as a family have had for a long time, thank you.

The sprawling garden is planted with exotic fruit trees, tropical plants and spice trees like some sort of Garden of Eden. Somewhere in the expansive garden sparkles the fabulous T-shaped private swimming pool with crystal clear water. You can sunbathe and chill out by the poolside, dine alfresco style surrounded by greenery and kids are free to play hide and seek or run around. Sitting on 3 acres, the garden is big enough for them to play and have fun. The garden also boasts a yoga shala and a fabulous open-air spa pavilion - something moms will definitely love.
