Villa 53

Very convenient location for the purpose of my trip. Lovely family feel and the owners were very helpful.

The people

nothing much, no amenities nearby

De eigenaren van Villa 53 zijn zeer gastvrij. We hebben ons met het gezin echt thuis gevoeld en waren even geen toerist. Het zwembad is heerlijk en de kamer zeer ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien.

Es ist eine sehr grosse, schöne Villa. Das komfortable Appartement ist im 2-ten Obergeschoss und mit Treppen erreichbar. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die Zimmer und die Küche sind sehr gross und es hat alles was man braucht. Wir wurden von den Besitzern freundlich empfangen und das Personal war aufmerksam und liebevoll. Das Department für Immigration ist fussläufig erreichbar innerhalb ein paar Minuten.

We had an amazing stay at Villa 53. The villa was extremely comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, making it the perfect place to relax. The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and always willing to assist with anything we needed. Their hospitality really made our stay special. We would highly recommend Villa 53 and would love to stay again in the future.

La atención y el servicio prestado por los dueños fue maravilloso.

El agua de la ducha no salia del todo caliente.

Alles

La villa correspond totalement à ce que je recherchais pour ma semaine au Sri Lanka. La villa est très propre, calme et dans un quartier très sécurisé. Les chambres sont grandes et bien équipés; tout est fait pour vous sentir comme à a maison ! La climatisation est un grand plus. Le personnel est présent à tout moment de la journée pour vous servir. Je suis venu faire mon passport et les propriétaires ont été d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle; ils m’ont aidé pour mes démarches administratives et sans eux je ne serai pas y arriver.

Rien.

We had an exceptional stay and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The room was far better than we expected, it was really spacious, comfortable, and very thoughtfully arranged. As a group of five girls, we especially appreciated how safe and secure we felt throughout our stay. A detailed room tour was provided on arrival, with every feature and facility clearly explained, which made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. The food was also delicious and truly enjoyable. A special mention to Mr. Shriyantha for his warm hospitality and kind welcome, which made our stay even more memorable. This is truly a property that can be recommended to anyone without a doubt.

Chambre spacieuse, accueil impeccable, emplacement idéal pour nos démarches administratives. Calme.

Petite amélioration à prévoir pour la climatisation qui ne se met pas en mode silencieux. Le bruit de la climatisation nous oblige à l'éteindre au cours de la nuit pour trouver le sommeil.

Très bon logement, très grande chambre spacieuse. Très propre. Hôtes très gentils. Frigo à disposition et de l’eau.

Dommage que la clim ne fonctionne pas très bien et le ventilateur n’est pas suffisant (ils font également beaucoup de bruits) car il fait vraiment très chaud et pourtant on supporte bien la chaleur en temps normal.

What a wonderful place! A spacious room in a huge villa with all amenities you can wish for run by a lovely couple who make you feel at home right away. I highly recommend this place!

Die Villa hat uns super gefallen, sehr stilvoll 🤩

We liked the space - extraordinarily spacious. The host was very help in helping us obtain a medical appointment for an ear infection. A peaceful and secure place.

It is really good worth to go

Wifi is slow

Total nette Gastgeber, überaus freundlich und aufmerksam. Sehr grosses Zimmer & Badezimmer. Gutes ausreichendes Frühstück (frischer Saft wäre top :-) ). Fitnessgeräte und schöner, sauberer Pool (leider nicht genutzt). Alles sehr gepflegt und top sauber. Können es nur weiterempfehlen :-)

Wonderful accommodation. everything was clean, luxurious and the rooms were large. The family speaks excellent English and are very nice, we received a welcome drink.

Nous avons passé une petite semaine chez Sriyantha et Champi, à notre arrivée à Sri Lanka. Nous ne pouvions espérer meilleure famille d'accueil pour nos premiers pas à Colombo. Nos hôtes ont été particulièrement disponibles, arrangeants et de très bons conseils pour commencer à nous organiser. aucun point négatif, si ce n'est peut être la nécessité de sortir déjeuner midi et soir, ce qui dans notre contexte, ne nous arrangeait pas mais leur petit déjeuner est formidable. Ils prennent le soin de vous faire gouter les spécialités du pays. Un grand merci à eux.

We enjoyed the friendly, kind and courteous attention that we received from the owner and his staff. Mr Sriyantha Wakwella was very attentive to all of our requests. The villa is located in walking distance to restaurants. The entire property was very clean with modern amenities. We wished we could have spent a long time. We didn't get to enjoy the beautiful pool. We highly recommend this property. It exceeded our expectations.

There was not anything to dislike.

Warm welcome and very clean

Everything was up to the expectations or exceeded our expectations. The hosts were always there whenever needed or asked for any help. Breakfast was excellent. Room & Bathroom size - HUGE. Very clean and comfortable place with the owner who prides in providing great service and he deserves the kudos.

Nothing that comes to mind.

Super kind helpful hosts, nice big pool, clean spacious apartment and delicious breakfast, great for a family 🙏🩷

Les hôtes sont aux petits soins pour leurs guests. Très accueillants, chaleureux et prêts à répondre à toute question ou besoin. J’ai par exemple pu avoir un massage sur place.

C’est dommage qu’il ne soit pas possible d’y dîner, sinon rien à signaler.

Я бронювала номер, бо подавалась на візу - 5 хв пішки до центру- дуже зручно. Чисто, є басейн, пропонують сніданок, уважні.

Все сподобалось, але якщо хотіти тиші в виспатися по довше треба бронювати другий поверх, щоб не чути шуму з кухні рано вранці

Perfect

Everyone in the property is very attentive the food is excellent, People are helpful They made us feel very welcome

Nothing to dislike

Everything was top notch. Homely atmosphere, amazing food and the host was very kind and hospitable. I wish them the best!

Absolutely nothing. I am glad I booked this place.

Die Villa liegt in einer ruhigen Wohngegend und hat große Zimmer, einen keinen Garten und einen schönen Pool. Alles war sehr sauber, das Personal absolut freundlich und das Frühstück ausgezeichnet. Die Gastgeber haben sich bemüht, uns jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen.

Die Klimaanlage war ein bisschen laut.

Prachtig mooi huis,met alles wat je nodig hebt. De kamers waren zeer ruim,comfortabel en schoon. Ook de faciliteiten waren goed incl het zwembad. De gastheer en zijn vrouw zijn vriendelijke mensen die je aan alle kanten bijstaan, ook voor een gezellig praatje. Avond eten word niet geserveerd... Maar de gastheer heeft ons naar een mooie locatie aan het meer gebracht met verschillende restauants.. Ook het personeel is zeer vriendelijk en doen alles voor je. Het ontbijt was heerlijk,met de keuze uit continentaal of Sri lankaans Wij zullen hier zeker terug komen En raden deze plek zeer aan!

Had a great stay at this villa! The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Loved the breakfast and overall service. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

It was really delightful. The place was beautiful, the beds very comfy and the people really friendly. The owner was very kind and the facilities were top notch.

We stayed one night. We had a great experience with the friendly management .If you wanna go to immigration office baththaramulla this is the best spot in walking distance. If you forget your toothpaste and toothbrush just call they will give you a new one 🤩and he didn't even charge me for that. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll definitely go again to enjoy the pool...

Bad smell from the kitchen sink but manageable

Tota la Villa, es preciosa

Escales

Everything was perfect, nothing was missing.

We had a wonderful stay at this villa. The place was clean, well-maintained, and conveniently located close to important places and restaurants. We booked just for a single night, but starting from the welcome, the support we had from the owners and staff was incredible. The calm and peaceful atmosphere made our stay very relaxing and overall, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Alles ist perfekt...Champi und ihr Ehemann sind sehr sehr nette freundliche Gastgeber, die alles geben was möglich ist.....Wir sind als Fremde gekommen und als Freunde gegangen.Das Frühstück ist toll entweder Continental oder Sri Lankan....Die Angestellten sind sehr herzlichen, die Villa super sauber und gepflegt Ich kann Villa 53 zu 100% empfehlen

Da gibt es nichts zum schreiben

Une villa digne de son nom, avec une piscine très appréciable. Un couple d'hôtes fort charmants, accueillants, pleins de conseils et disponibles. Avec les autres domestiques de la maison, Ils sont tous aux petits soins pour satisfaire leurs clients. Je recommande fortement.

We had the most shocking experience at this House. First of all, you enter the apartment via the main bedroom, so privacy isn’t great. Second, despite the fact that the invoice was in USD, the host and his screaming wife insisted on using their bank’s exchange rate. Unfortunately for them, booking has rules and the payment could be made in USD if no compromise was found on the local currency exchange rate (we use XE.com like everyone else). They proceeded to intimidate us with screamings and saying they would call the police and « security » (in the end WE called the police as we got so scared), and threatened to sequester us, while shouting hysterically. It was extremely upsetting and ruined our stay in Colombo. Mafia ways of an entitled couple with no self-control, probably used to have « their way or the highway » in their mansion.

The hysteria and abuse of the hosts ruined all the rest.

정성껏 준비해준 아침 식사는 아주 좋았습니다. 조용한 주택가에 있어 조용하고 안전했으며 주인장이 친절해서 더 좋았어요.

주택가 골목 깊은 곳에 있어 주변공원 산책하는 데는 거리가 좀 있어요.

Obsługa, basen, pokój, śniadanie. Dałbym notę 11, ale jest max 10 😊 blisko bary,sklepy, bank

Deluxe room is very spacious and exceptionally clean and comfortable. From tissues to kettle everything was available like a five start hotel. Warm welcome from the staff even though we arrived late night around 1.30 am. They made sure we were welcomed and shown everything around. Rooms kept as exactly in the pictures. No difference.

Nothing

시설은 깨끗하고 훌륭했으며 주인장이 아주 친절했습니다.

대문을 항상 잠궈놔서 외출 나가는데 조금 불편했음.

Great location very close to the Visa office, spacious room well equipped with necessities.

Very close to all amenities. Absolutely clean, spacious room with all required facilities. Host is very helpful and make sure everything is complete and comfortable to the clients.

Nothing to mention.

Incredibly welcoming and friendly hospitality, willing to help and ensured we were taken care of. Lovely room and bathroom, and great to have the pool for a morning swim. Outside the main, busy area of Colombo, so great for someone looking for a quieter place to stay.

Good and friendly service

The place was so peaceful and made the stay a nice memory.Really a great place to enjoy 💯✌️

Spacious rooms, good pool, good breakfast.

The WIFI was not best (there is always something to improve) 🙂

The staffs were very nice, friendly and welcoming. They thought about each guest and was flexible with their service. We also liked the Sri Lankan style breakfast.

Nothing in particular.

Lovely friendly welcome from the owner on arrival, along with a much-needed glass of juice! Beautiful room, very well equipped (even a hair-dryer!). The breakfast was second to none. Delicious dosas with great curry and sambal, fresh fruit and great coffee. Would stay again if in Colombo.

Liked everything.

This is an exceptional Homestay property. It is a large private gated villa with charming hosts Sriyantha & Champi who make you most welcome. The architecture of this Villa is stunning, tall glass walls opening out to a good sized pool set in a well maintained landscaped garden with two separate seating areas. Back inside the large open downstairs area a sweeping grand staircase takes you up to your huge suite. The decor and furnishings are extremely tasteful and stylised. Breakfast is a choice between continental or Sri Lankan with generous portions of fruit and fresh juice served either outside or in the large kitchen with Champi. Highly recommend this property It should be rated 5 star.

You cannot fault your stay here. We chose it because it is close to the Immigration Department and we needed to get extensions on our visas. It is away from the main area of Colombo but easy enough to access the City by tuk tuk or cab.

What a beautiful oasis of peace and tranquillity in the busy suburbs. We booked 4 nights and would happily have stayed longer had we not had flights booked. The suite we stayed in was exceptionally spacious, tastefully furnished, and equipped, and the photos were accurate. The hosts were kind and generous and were more than happy to prepare vegetarian western style breakfasts, which included homemade guacamole, which was delicious. The pool was a great size, and we swam in it most afternoons. I would have no hesitation in returning and would especially recommend Villa 53 to others.

Large room with amenities. Close to the city. Very decent host and polite staff members.

No balcony as mentioned in the listing. It would be great if it had a bidet shower. Pool area could be a little more cleaner.

Very nice homestay in Colombo, with super friendly hosts! Our room was very big, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast very nice! The homestay feels very secure and the owners speak excellent English!

The bathroom could use some maintenance, and the AC is quite noisy.

Amazing hosts who were always there to greet us! The rooms were nice and spacious. Great location in Battaramulla, off of the main street but close enough to walk around

Very grand and nice Hotel. Great stop if your sorting out your Visa super close to the office. Pool was clean and the room was massive very happy. great Breakfast as well

What a lovely people and villa. Unfortunately we only where here one night. But it was a very good experienxe. We lived the pool and breakfast.

There's nothing not to like about this place. I felt like i wa staying in a 5 star hotel.

A bit far from the main city of Colombo so plan extra time for travel, especially at rush hour

This villa was the perfect location for our visit to the passport office. We traveled to Sri Lanka and were able to obtain the passport under the emergency service. The villa is within walking distance of the Sri Lanka Immigration (Passport Office), making the process much more convenient. The place was very good—clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with big rooms. The owner was extremely helpful, accommodating our requests, and allowing us to come and go at any time. Highly recommended!

What an amazing house and family! Slightly outside the city but just a short taxi ride, so a perfect, luxurious, welcoming oasis away from the noise and traffic. Arrived as a stranger and left as a friend. Felt so welcomed, relaxed and happy here. Villa 53 will always be my first stop in Sri Lanka.

Irrelevant. Everything was perfect.

Good and convenient location

Great

wonderful breakfast, great sunny garden aspect. great variety of westerrn and Sri Lankan options. good choice of beverages, attentive staff. a pleasure

The perfect home away form home. The hosts, Sriyantha & Champi go above and beyond to take care of their guests. We loved the Sri Lankan traditional breakfast with string hoppers and curry. Always book with breakfast, the best breakfast in Battaramulla. House has excellent WiFi. The place has a nice natural setting surrounded by trees and gardens. At the same time the house is 5 minutes walking distance to the the Sri Lankan, Citizenship and Immigration office building, where they handle everything from NIC, to Visa to Passport. If you have business with Sri Lankan government, the prefect place to stay. About 10 minutes walking distance there is the board walk area along side, Diyawanna Lake, with parks, bicycle tracks, fast food and fine restaurants, street shops and other facilities. About 30 minutes drive to One Galle Face Mall and Port City Colombo. About 45 minutes drive to the Colombo Bandaranaike International airport.

Television service is not the best in Sri Lanka. There is only Dialog Dish Network. Quiet possibly the worst TV service on the planet. The signal will cut off couple of times withing the hour. You will not be able to watch any program or movie fully. Then again if you are traveling to Colombo, Sri Lanka, staying in the room watching TV would be a waste of an excellent opportunity to explore the city and country side.

An amazing hospitable couple running the place. It’s so quiet for this part of the city

Cleanliness Space Felt safe and comfortable to stay with our kids.

Room AC was noisy

Really great experience from start to finish! Me and my wife arrived very early in the morning and the owners were kind enough to let us in early and also check in early.

All was great!

Not only is the place gorgeous and well-located, but the service is also excellent. The traditional Sri Lankan breakfast is lovely and plenty. On top of it, the hosts Champi and Sriyantha do go an extra mile to make sure you have a great stay!

Gorgeous property with excellent amenties. Wonderful staff and owners who provided excellent attention, service. Breakfast was yummy and the staff catered for my wifes special needs.

Without an iota of doubt, I would strongly recommend this property for both families & work related travel. This is unlike any property where the owners go beyond the normal hospitality (expected out of any hotel) and make you feel that you are staying in a place which you have known for eternity. The morning breakfast they prepare is delicious and healthy. Especially for folks like me with dietary restrictions, they make sure our needs are properly met. Their friendly approach is truly remarkable. I now know where to stay in Colombo whenever I come back.

We really enjoyed our visit at this home stay. The owners were very welcoming and really made us feel at home. They made great recommendations for restaurants and places to go around the city and were just really nice to chat to. Breakfast consisted of delicious traditional Sri Lankan food and the home and pool were very clean and well looked after. We would definitely stay again if we return to Sri Lanka.

Clean and tidy , very close to city

Nothing

Friendly. Very comfortable. Very clean. Lovely quality.
