Host disponibilissimo , colazione a pagamento ma buona , stanza pulita
It was very clean.
The room was smaller than expected but it was okay.
Wir hatten diese Unterkunft gebucht, waren aber bei seinem Bruder untergebracht. Er hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert. Er gab uns wichtige Hinweise und besorgte uns einen Fahrer für die Weiterfahrt. Es gab ein sehr gutes Frühstück.
Locatie en zeer lieve hosten!
La familia es muy agradable. La habitación estaba limpia y la ubicación estaba bien aunque hace falta pillar tuktuk para ir al centro o a la playa.
Insgesamt eine sehr gute Unterkunft um entspannt auf Sri Lanka anzukommen ! Alles sauber, nahe am Strand !
Propietarios muy amables y el desayuno totalmente recomendable
Nada que destacar
Una villa muy familiar con habitación muy cómoda con su propio baño y aire acondicionado. La familia muy atenta y pendiente de todo por si quieres desayunar, comer o cenar en cualquier momento. Está muy cerca de la calle principal desde donde puedes hacer turismo en Negombo!
老板不错。
半夜三更到达,但老板可能比较早睡,敲了半天没应,打了半天电话也没应,外面没有门铃,希望老板要加装门铃。
Great facilities for the price and owner is helpful and friendly. We checked in very late at midnight but she was very comfortable about it . Great stay

Spotless, delicious food breakfast and dinner at a good price for how much you get! Upgrade to a/c was inexpensive and appreciated after a long travel day, only 5 minutes to main street and 15/20 to a nice beach

A nice place for a short stay. The family was very helpful, nice and good people, you feel safe. The location is good, close to many cafes & restaurants and the ocean. Thanks ❤️
le logement est très propre et la literie de qualité. L'hébergement est situé à quelques minutes du front de mer.

Majitelé vstřícní se vším nám pomohli
What a wonderful stay with Roy and Jennifer! From the very first moment, I felt welcome with this lovely family. The guesthouse is very clean, well maintained, and peacefully located. You can truly relax in a pleasant, homely atmosphere. The location is perfect: close to the beach and within walking distance of nice restaurants, yet situated in a quiet area away from the crowds. What I especially appreciated was how Roy and Jennifer helped me with my luggage, which had to be delivered later from the airport. They thought along with me, kept in touch, and made sure everything was properly arranged. I would absolutely recommend this guesthouse to anyone looking for a warm, hospitable, and carefree place to stay. 🌴
Es war alles super!
Preis-Leistung in der unteren Preiskategorie passt. Die Gastgeber helfen einem bei Fragen, sind freundlich und geben sich Mühe. Sie lassen einem seine Privatsphäre und sind nicht aufdringlich. Handtücher und eine Decke liegen parat.
Keine Kritik: Es ist eine einfache Unterkunft, aber für den Preis war es auch nicht anders zu erwarten. Das muss man nur im Hinterkopf haben.
The Marcelin family is really friendly. The rooms they offer are simple yet nice and clean. The breakfast is really nice
Super liebe Leute, nah am Strand, sauber, alles super!

I had a wonderful stay at this villa. Jenifer and Roy are exceptional host who went above and beyond to make my short visit perfect. From the moment I arrived, they were incredibly helpful, arranging a taxi for my arrival and even providing a delicious lunch since Zi arrived late in the afternoon.They also organized a Tuk Tuk for a few hours and a lovely boat trip to the Lagoon.The rooms were immaculate and so peaceful,allowing me to get a great night’s sleep before moving on the next day. To top it all off,I enjoyed a homemade traditional breakfast prepared by Jenifer. I highly recommend for this for anyone looking for friendly hospitality and a comfortable stay.
All perfect for my short stay
La ubicación, la limpieza, la comodidad de las instalaciones, el desayuno y la amabilidad de la familia.
Molt bona ubicació a 5 minuts de la platja i restaurants a prop. La família molt hospitalària ens van oferir el seu taxi.
Tot correcte!
Personal siempre atento, nos ofrecieron un montón de actividades. Nos sacaron desayuno típico de Sri Lanka y siempre con una sonrisa. Ubicado cerca de zona de restaurantes
Only the washroom need to be improve specially the water pressure.
Very friendly and helpful host. Breakfast was very good
Logement fonctionnel et bien placé. Possibilité de laisser ses bagages après le check-out.
RAS.
The property was located at a very accessible location, easily reachable. The hosts were super friendly, accommodating and very polite, always with a smile on their faces which just made us very comfortable. Even after the checkout, they were very attentive to any questions asked.
Nothing, it was all good.
Roi y Jenny son la pareja que lleva el alojamiento. Son extremadamente amables, hasta el punto que nos hicieron el check-in a las 7 am. Después de 15 horas de viaje, es de agradecer. Además, si te cae fin de semana, puedes salir con ellos a tomarte unas copas por el centro!
El desayuno
Sin sabanas,
La amabilidad de los propietarios y la facilidad en ayudarnos con el transporte. Ubicación cercana al centro.
Cama no muy cómoda con mosquitera pequeña que parecía atraparte en la noche
Accoglienza, disponibilità, aria condizionata. Posto molto tranquillo
Colazione a pagamento 4$ ciascuno, un tantino cara
Nos gustó mucho, sobre todo el desayuno. Nos ayudaron con el taxi y la habitación estaba muy bien relación calidad precio.

Lovely family! Amazing breakfast (please make sure you order it at your arrival) and the host also helped us to get a táxi driver to a different city. Amazing people!
We spent our first two nights here after arrival before starting our Sri Lanka tour. The owners are very friendly and helpful, very tasty breakfasts.
Family was accomodating!

Breakfast was amazing and the hosts lovely!
Very clean
Everything was clean and great. Thanks again.
Clean, comfortable, simple accomodation. Lovely staff who were accomodating and provided great guidance to me as a solo traveller settling into Sri Lanka. They assisted me to book a tuk tuk and bus with AC. Thanks so much for having me stay!
I liked everything about this property ☺️ I would suggest a sign on the fence of the homestay, as once you turn down the laneway it is difficult to know which place is the homestay especially when arriving after dark.
Very kind and helpful people

The breakfast is very good especially the hoppers, I want to eat them again now. Very reasonable price, the hosts are very nice, we arrived the hotel very late, the host told us where to eat, five or 10 minutes can reach to the restaurant, the fruit juice there is so good.
The hotel room has a very strong smelling, I don’t know whether it comes from soap or cologne, I wash my clothes and hand there the next day they get all the smelling. The Country has many stray dogs and cats, hope you can share some food to them and be nice to them.
I had a wonderful stay at the Marcelin Family Villa, which was both clean and comfortable. Upon my arrival, I was warmly welcomed by Roy, the owner, and his wife, Jenifa, treated me to delicious spicy food and fresh fruit. Since my booking was for a day, they kindly arranged a tuk-tuk for me to explore the area. They also took care of all the necessary licensing formalities before my arrival, which I truly appreciated. I was impressed by their hospitality and would highly recommend this place to others.
Very nice host, clean room and comfortable beds, warm water, nice stay near to the Negombo Airport.
Staff were really sweet and helpful even offered to keep our luggage till the end of our trip
The owner was very kind and helpful. I recommend you for that house 🏠…❤️
What an amazing family and stay here! Roy and his family are very welcoming and helpful, they are full of tips and are always willing to support. The breakfast is delicious with many local fruits and local pancakes. We loved it so much that we will be back to stay here again. It is close to the beach and there are plenty of shops and restaurants around. This is the perfect place to start/finish your time in Sri Lanka

Excellent hosts, very clean, comfortable bed.
Good location, close to the beach and restaurants. Hosts were kind and let us store our bags before our flight out.
Google Maps has the address slightly incorrect. It takes you about 30 metres down the road.
Jennifer and Roy were welcoming and friendly, we felt like at home and were looked after well. The property was located 5minutes walking distance from the beach. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, it consisted of hoppers, pancakes, fruits and tea/coffee.
Kind and friendly host , clean bedroom, closer to beach. Delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, helped us to get bus tickets, arranged shuttle services, i would recommend this place to everyone
The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room had everything I needed to rest after a long flight, and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruit and traditional food. I would definitely return.
Nothing really. The place is basic, so it depends on what you're looking for. I had everything I needed for a short stay and for the price and purpose, it worked out great!
Excellent location. Owners are kind and helpful with excellent communication. I arrived at midnight and it was no problem waiting to check me in. Shower had hot water with great water pressure. Air conditioner works great. Bed was comfortable. Outside tables/area was pleasant to eat breakfast. It's only a 5 min walk to the beach, Euro Supermarket & cafes
Nothing and definitely stay again.
Great guest house a five minute walk to the beach. Hosts are very kind and hospitable. There's a wonderful breakfast for a very reasonable price. The room was clean, quiet, and cool, with both air conditioning and a ceiling fan. Highly recommend!
Had a late check-in at midnight, the host welcomed us soon as we arrive , offered us a water bottle and coffee, really amazing people, good rooms and the villa is new , it's so spacious to relax and the villa is so quite which is good for business travelers

The perfect stay for the first or last night(s) in Sri Lanka as it is close to the airport. Breakfast was delicious and big.
Marcelin Family Villa was the perfect first stop on our trip to Sri Lanka! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The room was clean, neat, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious—it was our first Sri Lankan breakfast, and we loved every bite! Highly recommend!

This family home stay is a very welcoming, comfortable stay for a few nights in Negombo. Roy, and Jenifer are lovely hosts and made a really great breakfast. The room was spacious for my needs as a solo traveller and I felt safe here. Not too far to walk for shops and restaurants, and about half an hr from the airport.
Lovely host and delicious breakfast
Great value for money, 5min walk from the beach and restaurants. The room was comfortable, breakfast yummy (especially the homemade pancakes!). Highly recommend this property, the price and the quality you get.
close to the airport, very friendly staff, value for money.
Nothing
Great budget stay. The family is very welcoming and great breakfast
More than perfect. The place is clean and in a great location. Roy and his family are fantastic people and very accommodating. They even helped me organize the following day and book a bus to reach my next destination, saving me quite a bit of time (and money). They also recommended an excellent nearby restaurant where I had a delicious Kottu. As if that weren’t enough, they also prepared a great and thorough breakfast. When I return to Negombo, I already know where to stay!
The location and the host was very friendly
The wifi didn't work
We stayed here for 2 days and returned back for another 2 days after touring Sri Lanka. Staying here makes you feel at home with Roy and Jennifer taking care of everything. Its very safe even for solo female travellers. We will definitely recommend this place to others and will come back again next year.
Very clean, nice family and great breakfast/dinner. They cooked fish for us and it was delicious.
For me, the Marcelin family villa was by far the best accommodation during my 4 week trip in Sri Lanka ! The price-performance is unbeatable! The owner Roy is an excellent host he is amazing, and his wife makes the best delicious breakfast I have seen in Sri Lanka. Everything really everything there is spotlessly clean I felt like at home there. Usually I never write reviews, but this accommodation is simply the best! Don't miss it !
We liked the stay and will be returning back there before departing Sri Lanka.
