Beautiful B&B with large rooms and exceptionally hospitable British hosts Dale and Tanya. Pool is great and local staff are fabulous. That said, it is not close to the beach (could be considered a blessing by some) and being British run it is possibly less authentic an experience (again could be considered a blessing by some) than a Sri Lankan...

This is the first time I went purely by the reviews on trip advisor and I must say I was not the least bit disappointed! The stay was wonderful. Dale and Tanya are the perfect hosts - with attention to very single detail. The food was wonderful! Enough cannot be said about the sri lankan curry - absolutely scrumptious! The... More

We don't usually go back to places we've been before but Asian Jewel is an exception. We enjoyed a 2 week stay so much in 2009 that we decided to make a return visit this March/April. This time for nearly a month! Prospective guests need only read through a selection of TA reviews to conclude that this 5 room boutique... More

Everything that has been writen before is absolutlely true, we had such a wonderful 10 night stay here in February. The lovely Tanya and Dale were great hosts and they and all the staff couldn't do enough for us. Although our room was the smallest we loved it, as it has a balcony overlooking the lake and a window out... More

Stayed for 10 days at the Asian Jewel in March 2012. The location is truly peaceful but within a tuk tuk ride to Hikkaduwa, the beaches and the hustle and bustle of Galle.This small 5 bed hotel is a place you just don't want to leave. The food is consistantly excellent - a great breakfast and an extensive lunch and... More

This is an awesome place to stay, with impeccable standards of hospitality and the most delicious food. I must say, I was a little wary before reaching the place, since the website doesn't do it justice. Its a 2 1/2 to 3 hr drive from the Colombo airport, tucked away a couple of km inside from the coastline (don't worry,... More

We stayed at the Asian Jewel for 18 days and it was the most relaxing holiday we have ever had. Dale and Tanya invite you into their home and treat you as friends, but friends who are waited on 24/7. The staff are wonderful, they cannot do enough for you and always done with a smile, from the gardener, the... More

The Asian Jewel is by far the best hotel we've ever stayed in. We've stayed in more expensive hotels, so called “luxury” hotels, but the Asian Jewel rates as the best due to an award winning mixture of attentive service, excellent facilities and the fact that Dale and Tanya passionately care about you getting the most from your experience of...
