to get started.

Brilliant, welcoming staff - near to airport so would highly recommend. Nothing was too much bother. Was greeted at 1am as I arrived with an umbrella to protect me from the rain - exceptionally nice owners

Sarah, Singapore

Massive thx to Sharmila and Sampath, from airport pick up to early check in, generous (and delish) meals - they are gracious hosts and run a beautiful villa for any start and/or finish to Sri Lanka. Sampath too was our driver exploring Sri Lanka’s beautiful spots, very knowledgeable, safe and good soul in general. Stutiyi!!

Samantha, Canada

Very politely welcome to the property. Place is very good and clean. Hope to visit again

Waruna, Sri Lanka

The level of hospitality provided by Sharmila and her husband was excellent! They took very good care of us! Both the breakfast and the dinner were very delicious and coming really from their heart! Thank you again! :)

Ildikó, Hungary

The owner is very very nice and helpful. They are one of the best home onstage owner I’ve met in Sri Lanka. Room very clean and tidy. Good for value. Quiet area all you can hear is birds and dogs on the streets. No noise at all. Tasty breakfast with choices plus coffee/tea. Close to negombo fish market they can help you to get tuk tuk as well. They also let us use their kitchen to cook seafood. And we shared spirits together as well. Great time with them. If you want to stay in negombo with good value (not expecting 5 star hotel standard) this is a good choice. And they really did their best.

Yuxi, China

Friendly service, picked up from airport, short drive & room decorated with balloons& candles for our honeymoon- very thoughtful! Convenient for a quick stop on your travels through Sri Lanka

Rhona, Australia

Amazing friendly hosts who would do anything for you. Lovely relaxed vibe with nice garden, good air conditioning and cute pets. It’s at the northern tip of Negombo but there’s a bus at the end of the street (outside the cemetary) for 20 LKR it will take you up the main strip all the way to the bus station. With thanks from, Rachel, Nick and Joey from Australia.

Pradeep, Sri Lanka

The owners were wonderful people. I really enjoyed having breakfast in their peaceful garden while the owner and I chatted about my itinerary and gave me lots of helpful travel tips. It was the perfect start to my Sri Lankan trip. I checked on at 2am and the owner was contactable via WhatsApp and stayed up for me - this was such a great help and really appreciated! It was only 20/25 minutes away from the airport which was great when landing that late at night.

There is not a lot to see in Negombo. The beach is walking distance from their place however it's not the kind of beach to chill and swim.
Sharmina and her husband are very helpful. We stayed at their place upon our arrival in Sri Lanka and the night before our departure as it's very close to the airport. They organised for us the shuttle service. The breakfast was tasty and the wifi works well. We highly recommend this place :)

- Room was not as described. Instead of deluxe room with balcony we had a dark room on ground floor with terrace door and nothing to sit outside - Bathroom not in best condition, shower a bit broken and should be fixed - Quiet area but unfortunately on the north end of Negombo and quite far to drive/walk to get to main bars/restaurants on the beach
- Very friendly and helpful hosts who gave information on restaurants and provided early tea at 5 a.m. due to early trip - Bicycles available free of charge, unfortunately one had a flat tire - Nice house with garden to relax - Hosts cook dinner for guests if required

We loved our stay here, we had the balcony room which was wonderful to relax on and was such a large, clean room. The food was delicious and our host was super friendly and helpful. She organised a taxi to pick us up from the airport and even allowed us to sleep in a spare room before check in as our flight got in at 5am! We were also lent bikes free of charge and has a wonderful cycle through parts of the local area and to the beach. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to stay again in future
