Perfect, welcoming, and cool home.
It had a pool table, pool, seats on top of the building, rooms were clean. One of my favourite stays in SriLanka!!
the host Leon is so sweet and caring. He helped us so much with our trip and explained how everything works. The breakfast was amazing and made with good quality food. I recommend staying here even for 1 night if you can of course more. Sending love from Poland
Maybe WiFi was little to slow but still worked fine so I wouldn’t worry about that
Le logement est à proximité des lieux à visiter à Negombo et de l’aéroport. Pour une nuit cela peut être suffisant.
La personne qui nous a accueilli n’était pas très aimable, puis elle venait frapper a notre porte pour poser plusieurs fois la même question. Le matelas est de mauvaise qualité. Il n’y a pas de rideaux opaque ce qui laisse entrer la luminosité même la nuit. Des fourmis étaient présente dans notre logement, elle avait envahis notre lit et les draps ne semblaient pas propre.
Ubytovanie bolo útulné a čisté. Majiteľ je veľmi milý a priateľský. Robí výborné raňajky a večere. Doporučujeme
Majitel je velmi milý a přátelský. Dělá výborné snídaně s také večeře. Ubytování je velmi pěkné a čisté. Doporučuji!
Тихо, спокойно, чисто, приветливые хозяева. До центра, моря и рынка минут 10 пешком. Расположение удобное. В аэропорт на тук-туке ехала минут 20-30. Плотный завтрак: омлет, хлеб, масло, джем, чай, фрукты.
Il proprietario faceva festa con gli altri inquilini nel terrazzo fuori dalle camere e questo non ci ha permesso di dormire la prima notte
Leon is such a friendly man and the whole place is so clean and inviting. His hospitality is the perfect introduction to sri lanka and he truly cares about all his guests. We stayed here one night and he stayed up to check us in late and organised a tuk tuk rental for us at a very good price. he even drove us to the rental place and to a cash machine and then to our next hotel because he was fully booked. i would reccomend anyone to stay here and the breakfast was lovely- we will definitely be returning!
absolutely nothing!
Rapidité, gentillesse et compétences. Cordialement
Pour info il faudrait mettre la climatisation. Cordialement
Molto accogliente pulita con tutto il necessario … colazione buonissima!!! Lion molto attento gentile e disponibile… e i gattini una meraviglia…
Niente
Leon was a great host, very helpful in organizing anything we needed
Nous sommes arrivés dans la nuit et avons été très bien accueilli. La chambre est propre et le Petit déjeuné correct ! Logement sécurisé et calme, entre le centre local de negombo et la plage plus touristique. Nous sommes ravis de ces deux premières nuits au Sri Lanka ! Très bon rapport qualité prix.
Sehr schöne und saubere Unterkunft, in der wir uns gleich wohlgefühlt haben. Sehr leckeres Sri Lankisches Frühstück, mit viel und sehr gutem Obst. Der Balkon war gemütlich
Etwas aufdringliche Art des Vermieters, der uns fast das ganze Frühstück beobachtet hat bzw. dann neben uns gegossen und gefegt hat. War uns zu viel, anderen gefällt es vielleicht so ins Gespräch zu kommen.
Sehr netter Besitzer und ein leckeres Frühstück.
オーナーさんが親切でした。オーナーさんの家族は下の階に住んでいて、ホームステイのようなアットホームな滞在でした。 部屋は清潔で、お湯が出ますし、エアコンが使えます。外に洗濯物を干せるのが嬉しかったです。 共有スペースがおしゃれで居心地が良く、延泊しました。 宿の猫に毎日癒されていました。 朝食はパンがとても美味しくて、フルーツがたっぷりで嬉しかったです。朝食付きでこの値段はコストパフォーマンスが良いと思います。 立地はローカルエリアにあり、少し歩くと個人商店やローカルレストランがあります。15分くらい歩くと大きなスーパーがいくつかありました。フィッシュマーケットや海にも歩いていけます。 オーナーさんはトゥクトゥクの運転手でもあるので、1日ツアーをお願いして色々な場所に連れて行ってもらいました。 ネコンボを再訪するときはまた宿泊したいと思います。
As soon as I got there, the owner Leyon greeted me with a great smile. The rooms were really well looked after and the value for your money is soo good. The breakfast was really fresh. They also have dinner options which they can prepare if you talked with him about it he will arrange them. And the dinner I had was a Seafood Chosuey which was out of the world. Overall the value for money is very good and the rooms are very clean. Will definitely come back.
Very good value, very clean and comfortable. Friendly owners.
Nice guesthouse, kind owner, clean room. And breakfast was very good.
The room and facilities were perfect. The hosts were amazing and Leon is so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was also really nice, lots of fresh fruit and coffee. Short walk in to town. Even had wifi.
Nothing
we only spent one night at this hotel after a late flight. the owners waited for us and were kind enough to fetch mineral water for us 😊. the hotel is comfortable and well located. the breakfast is delicious. we will come back with great pleasure to stay at this hotel before our next flight.
Nothing. Everything was perfect 👍
Everything was great. Our stay was very comfortable. Room was clean and the owners are so kind and polite. They were very helpful and made us feel like home. I would recommend this place 100% :)
Very accommodating and friendly staff who provided an amazing breakfast and smooth check-in. The rooms were fit with everything I needed for a short stay and Leon provided good recommendations for onwards travel and other things to do in Negombo!
Room can be a little stuffy at the end of day with only just a fan, but cools down eventually.
Location was near city center as well as beach.
Rooms were cramped. The lower room had strong damp odour. The geysers were not working.
Lovely atmosphere at star canal cottage, Leon looked after us well and we appreciated the breakfast! Rooms are simple but very clean and have new very comfy mattresses!
We really loved the property. The owner is a very nice person Mr. Leon. They gave us a huge portion of Breakfast. Highly recommended!
Everything was Perfect
The owner Leyen is a very good cook and host. The room and bed were comfortable and clean. Leyon also arranges airport transfers at local prices.

Host, bbreakfast, location
Owner is very net person. Breakfast was good.
The bathroom needs nets against mosquitos. There was no lugage space.
Lovely host, nice terrace, safe area
25 minutes walk to the beach and restaurants area
Very nice owner, great breakfast - like I would prepare it myself.
Clean and quiet
Leon was an amazing host! I had a late flight and he let me check in super late at night. Made me feel right at home, offered me beers / tea when I arrived. And brekkie in the morning was fantastic - toast and jams, fried eggs, fresh fruit and tea. The next day he helped me organise my bike rental and took me on his tuk tuk around town to help me out. The man’s a legend!

Incredibly kind and friendly owner. As a bonus, he offered to prepare dinner - fresh shrimp and fish from the market. I've probably never had better. Just say the word and it's done. He was friendly and communicative the whole time, we had a lovely chat. Due to an early morning departure, preparing a "takeaway" breakfast was no problem. I can definitely recommend it.
Nice guesthouse. Friendly, helpful staff. Very good breakfast. Excellent value for money.
The host is the best part. Very kind and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was so good!
Léon is a very helpful person, always available for any purpose . In addition the breakfast is outstanding.
No restaurant in proximate neigbourhood .
Lyon was a very good host. Room was spacious clean and comfortable, with hot water for showers. Breakfasts was eggs, toast, fruit pletter, tea or coffee. Lyon also provided good information on the local area for dining and swimming.
Nothing honestly
The host (leon) is a very helpfull and friendly guy, who made us feel at home right away. He arranged a nice breakfast and transport to the airport. Nice common area with other guests, and the room was impeccable. Nicest shower we've had in Asia. Can only recommend this stay.
Nada
The most welcoming, helpful and warm host! We arrived at 4am in the morning and Leon our host allowed us to do an early check in. He did everything to make sure that our stay is comfortable and gave us valuable tips for our trip in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was good too! We asked for pancakes on the second day and they were reallyyy delicious. We were very grateful! The room was basic, since Leon just opened it. But he said that he is planning to add more amnesties like an AC or a mosquito net for the windows. But the price value ratio was worth it!
Room was basic, but it had everything we need. It was nice and clean. Shower is nice. Breakfast was great and owner was very helpful. He eaven gave as ride to train station.
Great house and amazing host. The house is beautiful and nicely located by the canal. Leyon was the most helpful and welcoming host. He opened the gate for us at 6am after picking us up from nearby with his tuk tuk. The terrace is the perfect spot for the freshest breakfast in Sri Lanka and relaxing in the evening with a couple of beers after the delicious dinner prepared by the host.
My partner and I had the best stay at Star Canal Cottage. After receiving a great tuk tuk tour around Negombo from Leon at the start of our trip, we stayed at his guesthouse before our departure too due to his friendliness and consideration. Our room very clean, spacious and light, with a powerful hot shower in the bathroom. The location is great, close to the city centre with restaurants nearby, but down a quiet canal road to enjoy the peace. We read and listened to the birds on the terrace during the day, while drinking home made lime juice before an excellent dinner of home-made prawns from Leon. A wonderfully kind, funny, and diligent host (and now friend), we will recommend Star Canal Cottage to anyone wishing to visit Sri Lanka :)
Perfect place. Perfect room and breakfast
