Sand & Surf Guest House

Welcoming host, close to airport, clean, spacious

No shower door

Very helpful hosts. Location is nice and the hosts were even willing to hold my suitcase which was super nice of them. Room was clean and tidy and looked as per the pictures.

Clean apartment with a big shared kitchen. Host was friendly and was helpful. Felt very safe.

A mosquito net would be good, because there are a lot outside and sometime they come to the room.

The host was very nice, helped us order taxis and answered any request we had The room was very clean, the location is quiet but not far from restaurants There is an excellent AC and hot water in the shower and it was spotless I came for one night only and I was sad to leave.. thank you!

There was some construction in the building next to the room that woke me up but nothing the host could do about it

Great location, within walking distance to the big beach, bars, restaurants and shops. Surprisingly quiet considering it's location. Property located in an interesting area of Negombo. Spacious property with good facilities. Outside shaded seating area. Owner available 24/7 via the phone. Great value for money. Would stay here again. Can recommend.

The ground floor Room 1 ensuite window needs a screen.

El chico fue muy majo, relación calidad precio bien. El ventilador funciona perfectamente no hace falta aire acondicionado

Se podria mejorar la limpieza

Perfect for a night after landing in Sri Lanka

Nice rooms, very spacious and a private bathroom. The host is very attentive and helpful.

The fridge wasn’t working when I was there so I wasn’t able to store food.

Nice and clean property - would recommend!

Very clean, great property with everything you needed. The host was amaazing we had some issues with our aircon and he responded immidiately when the issue couldn’t be resolved he allowed us to change room.

​This homestay is a fantastic choice if you need a place near Colombo Airport. It's also conveniently located within walking distance of cafes and restaurants. The staff were a husband and wife team, exceptionally friendly and helpful, even assisting us with a problem we had with our taxi driver, which was a huge relief! ​Our room and bathroom were both spacious, and we appreciated having access to a kitchen. Having a morning coffee on the balcony was lovely. ​The home's quiet, suburban location and thick walls made for a peaceful night's sleep, with only the hum of the AC to be heard. While the bed was firm it was comfortable, but it was short for taller guests. The AC unit kept the room perfectly cool.

We did find the shower pressure to be very weak. It would also have been nice to have bedside tables and lamps for softer lighting Some hooks in the bathroom would have been nice too.

Fajna lokalizacja, wygodne i czyste pokoje, polecam!

Very nice hosts

We stayed at Sand & Surf for the first and last day of our Sri Lanka trip and were very comfortable there. Owner is very friendly and lives just around the corner if you ever need any assistance. He also let us park our tuktuk safely in the property. Room has everything you need, clean, AC, good bathroom. Would 10/10 stay there again next time in Negombo.

Very kind staff, nice place and very clean

Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Everything was perfectly clean. Definitely recommended! :-)

The room is basic but it was very good value for money! Everything you need it there and it looked neat. It was only a small walk to all the restaurants and the beach so the location was also great.

Calm and clean quit location staff also very helpful

I arrived here late at night due to a flight the check in process was smooth I felt safe and comfortable the room was very clean comfy bed and good bathroom facilities shop close by in a tuktuk good value for money thank you

There is not much close by but is okay for one night and can get a Tuktuk

The people were very very kind

A bit old the bathroom

Beautiful very well located guest house! Location is perfect and rooms are well equipped. Very good price-value ratio. We were able to check in early - previous guests left early as well and we could get in even 2,5 hrs before check in time which was amazing as we were dead from our long overnight flight, a very big thank you again for that!

All was perfect, only point for improvment: check AC in the room, it was working but didn't cool down properly.

All

Nothing

Good room with comfy bed, quiet location yet close to beach and restaurants. Shared kitchen and common area.

Bathroom could have been cleaner. No mosquito protection like a net or other, so we spent the first evening hunting dozens of them

Amazingly welcoming owner. Clean and comfy rooms. Great location, a short walk from the beach and town centre

The hosts are brilliant and so kind. I had an issue one evening and they came and checked on me and made me feel comfortable.

Nothing, it’s basic and cheap which is what I wanted as a traveller and the room was nice and big, very clean. Kitchen to make cups of tea etc

Very big and comfortable bed. Room spacious with good lightning. You have a desk and wardrobe to keep your stuff in. Big bathroom with hot shower. The outside area is very clean and quiet. Perfect for your morning coffee. Kitchen available to all for cooking your breakfast. Also washing machine available (extra fee). It's close to the airport so it's great after your flight and before your flight as we did 😍 Staff very nice and welcoming. If you land in Colombo you should choose this one!

Everything was perfect.

Delicious breakfast, Good location and Highly recommended

The hotel is quite new and in good condition, close to good cafes and shops. As an option for an overnight stay after a flight or before departure, it is great. Close to the airport.

It was very hot, and they don't have air conditioner.

The place was very nice and clean. Decent location with regards to the distance to the beach and surrouding restaurants. The owner was nice and easy to communicate with.

Missing mosquito net! There was just so many, we spent good ample of minutes clapping hands before we went to sleep..

The accommodation offers spacious and comfortable rooms. We stayed there on our last night in Sri Lanka to be close to the airport, and it worked out perfectly. The owner is very kind and welcoming. The common area on the terrace is well-maintained and a lovely spot to sit and relax. An unbeatable place to stay for the price. The breakfast was also very good.

The ventilation of the bathroom could be improved.

We had a wonderful stay at this place. The atmosphere was welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were kind and helpful. A great place to relax and enjoy Negombo so we’d definitely stay here again :)

The owner is very friendly and helpful for everything. Rooms are good quality for the price.

Everything was in a good condition. Lovely people running the guesthouse!

The location was ok, because it was quiet, but to get anywhere you needed a tuk tuk. The host kindly let us use refrigerator, so we had cold drinks.

There were houndreds of mosquitos, but that's not properties fault. Our room was turned so it was the hottest place in the whole house. If you go, tell them to give you room No. 4, I'm sure it's better. BEWARE!!! Don't take any of treatments in Jasmin villa, that is wastly promoted all around the city (billboards everywhere) and the host also has one! It was the worst massage EVER! Smelly, oily and full of mosquito bites. Just DON'T!

It’s was clean. The location was perfect. Away from the noise but close enough to reach the shops (5 minute walk) was very quiet. Rooms looked new and fresh. The bed was big and comfortable. Clean sheets and pillows. Excellent value for money. Aircon worked well and was pretty quiet. Also had the option of a ceiling fan. There was a lounge with a lovely big sofa just outside the room which was great for chilling on, along with a little kitchen, clothes dryer and fridge and a terrace with a table on the sane floor. Met the owner once who was really helpful and friendly.

Nothing

Came in late night. Nobody was there to help us checkin. We had to find another place after the driver kept trying to contact you. He gave up and took us to a place he knew.

I came here after a long time travelling, the owner waited for me till I arrived and was super friendly. It was quite late and I was pretty tired, I asked the owner if there was a grocery store close by so I could get some water. He saw I was tired and went and got the water for me by scooter, so kind of him! Next morning I asked if I could stay one more night, but they were fully booked, he showed me another place to stay(The Beez) and brought me there by scooter. Staying at Sand&Surf for my first night in the country was amazing!!!

Nothing.

Stayed one night. We had a room on the upper floor. It was very clean. The bed was comfortabel. Owner was very welcoming. Good value for price! Would stay again.

Our host was very kind, he recommended some places to eat and from before we arrived he communicated with us to make sure we were there before our arrival, (since he did not sleep in the same place at least at this time it looked that way) the place quite clean and had everything we needed, hot water, towels etc.

The Bed was no so confortable

Everything was great about this place, super-clean, nice bed, little nice balcony

It was all good. Comfortable and near to many restaurants.

The owner was the best. He helped us with everything, even with things he didn’t have to! 😊 The whole building was clean:)

Owner was awesome. Gave me some tips and advice for travelling Sri Lanka. V,ery clean also

Had a wonderful two day stay at Sand and Surf Guest House. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel so welcome. I especially loved the shared kitchen, which had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. A perfect getaway for anyone seeking comfort and relaxation. Highly recommend!

I had the double room with balcony and it was great. Big spacious room, good A/C, comfy bed, shared fridge and kitchen, very friendly and helpful staff and very clean.

Water pressure not very strong but only a small issue really!

One of the best places to spend a day. They let us use their kitchen and everything, a clean room and washroom as well.

No electric kettle.

Lovely new homestay, very friendly staff who are on hand to help with travel plans and any local info. The room was comfortable and good value for money!

we stayed 3 nights and it was very geart experience, most important thing is room is very clean and very comfortable, and very safe place, and very peaceful , i recommend all travelers to this place, owner also very kind and he provide everything what we ask, ❤

Highly recommondation! I had a great stay for one night at this new accomondation. It was very quiet and high-quality furnishings. Also clean & comfortable rooms, a nice & helpful owner and not far from the ocean & places to eat something. At the accomondation you can use the kitchen (includes a fridge) with cooking stuff. As well, you can order a very friendly and helpful TukTuk Driver, for example to pick you up from the airport.

All good :) very clean and new 🤗

Super clean and a quite place to stay. Staff is incredibly kind and friendly. They helped me whenever I needed assistance.

I enjoyed how comfortable and clean the hotel is, but also how friendly the managers are. After staying in a number of budget lodges, I wanted to treat myself to a proper room, with a quality mattress and a hot water shower.

Actually there was nothing to criticize. If I come back to Negombo, I will want to stay here again.

Convenience to get to from airport. Proximity to necessities and beach. It was clean and comfortable. Air conditioning worked well and the kitchen was of use.

The only downside was the internet connection which was spotty and slow at times.

Great location. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Big room and comfortable bed. We enjoy the balcony.

They are very welcoming and kind ! It was very clean and comfortable

Staff checked us in at 9pm and said see you in the morning, we never saw any staff till we checked out 2 days later, there was nothing in the kitchen to use, nothing , no kettle , no cutlery , so useless , anyway we ate locally

The smell from the drains, no staff to answer questions or show us the guesthouse facilities,

Love the location, very close to the beach and restaurants

The owner is very friendly and nice..it's a new property and rooms are very clean..has a good living area and kitchen also...there is a rooftop where you can just relax and they will arrange BBQ facility and other things if you wanna chill on the rooftop..overall it's really worthy for every single penny you spend..highly recommended for solo travellers and couples considering the price and quality..😊❣️

None 😊

The stay and the facilities were beyond the expectation. Such a calm and a quiet place to rest.

The owner took care of me like a family member And the cleansess of the place is more than expected And all the facilities are new and morden

And the are quite and relax
