Accommodation Scams in Galle

Overpriced Boutique Accommodation Misrepresentation

Galle Fort has a concentration of boutique hotels and guesthouses advertised online with professionally staged photography that overstates the quality of rooms, views, or facilities. On arrival, guests find rooms smaller, darker, or in worse condition than pictured. Some properties advertise sea views that are from common areas only, or show rooms that have since been repurposed.
