The room had AC and fan. Hotel near to beach with a great breakfast
Nothing
Bett war bequem
Das Zimmer war leider sehr schmutzig es hat stark geschimmelt an den Wänden. Im Bad hat es stark nach Urin gerochen und durch ein großes Loch in der Tür zum Badezimmer hat das gesamte Zimmer ebenfalls gerochen. Das Badezimmer war extrem klein. Insgesamt sehr enttäuschend.
Lieve familie die voor alles voor je klaar staat. Ook vervoer geregeld naar Sigiriya toe vanuit het hotel met tuktuk. Verder vonden we het niet echt een hotel maar eerder een knusse homestay wat we niet helemaal verwacht hadden maar totaal geen probleem. Ontbijt ook super lekker!
Zagen in de badkamer aardig wat insecten maar dat is te verwachten met dit tropische klimaat.
They arranged a Tuk Tuk to pick us up at the airport. Hot shower.
Only stayed one night - the kitchen area was really a mess and we didn't trust the food preparation in that space. The window in the bathroom wouldn't close allowing mosquitoes in.
Belle chambre . Bois et espace. Très bon petit déjeuner.
Nice place, near the beach. Good and kind people, great value for money! Better to stay here than in Colombo!
Хорошее место, чисто аккуратно. Очень дружелюбные хозяева. Спасибо за гостеприимство

Valju ruuporist iga õhrune 3-tunnine kava rikkus kogu hea mulje ära
Esimesel ööl oli non-stop naabrite koera haukumine ja ulumine (kohe meie akna ees). Kõik 4 ööd, mis peatusume oli kella 17:30/18 kuni kella 21 ruuporist, mis oli tänaval mõne meetri kauguselt majutuskohast tulnud valjult religioosset kava. See oli nii valju, et me ei saanud oma õhtuid nautida. Ei tea, kas see ongi selle koha omapära või see oli lühiajaline aga tunneme, et sellest peaks olema teavitatid, siis me kindlasti valiks teise koha peatumiseks. Paljud kiidavad hommikusööki, kuid olles eelnevalt seitsmes teises majutuskohas Sri Lankal, siis nii minimaalselt puuvilju ja kohvi ei oldud üheski teises kohas pakurud. Wi-fi oli väga nõrk, kasutasime enda mobiilset internetti
Das Frühstück war unglaublich! Wir wurden gefragt, wann wir frühstücken möchten und erhielten jeden Tag ein anderes frisches Frühstück. Für den Preis wirklich unglaublich gut. Die Dame war auch sehr herzlich. Haben uns sehr wohlgefüht. In nur wenigen Gehminuten war der Strand, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Preis-Leistung wirklich klasse!
Ein Moskitonetz wäre klasse gewesen.
Very nice owners, they try to help with everthing and the breakfast is very good. You can get airport pick up if you want. The bed was fine.
The street was a bit noisy, water pressure in the shower was low.
Nice location and friendly host, they helped us arrange a taxi to the airport and gave us a breakfast to go early in the morning (04:00am). Good price.
The aircondition and the fan was making a lot of noise, the water from the shower had a weird smell and the water from the sink ran out on the floor. Mosquito net was missing. Some spider web in the ceiling ;)
Excellent
El personal es súper amable, te ayudan en todo lo que necesites. La casa está muy bien ubicada a escasos metros de la playa y en la calle Lewis a unos 15’ andando del centro de Negombo.
La limpieza debería de supervisarse mejor, debajo de la cama se ve que hay termitas devorando el somier, el baño estaba realmente sucio y la presión de la ducha y el agua caliente solo funcionó según llegamos.
La familia que lo gestiona, la ubicación y el desayuno. La dueña fue muy disponible y nos ayudo mucho
Muy bien todo. La ubicación es perfecta, porque está al lado de la playa, y a un paseo a pié del centro: mercado del pescado seco... El desayuno tambien está muy bien: fruta, tostadas., creps...y unos creps amarillos rellenos de dulce de coco, típicos de Sri Lanka que estaban genial. Nosotros alquilamos un tuktuk justo al lado, y se puede aparcar dentro. También te recogen y llevan al aeropuerto por un buen precio.
El desayuno empieza muy tardé, a las 8.30....y en Sri Lanka amanece muy temprano y a las 18.00 es de noche. Pero bueno, al final nos prepararon el desayuno un poco antes. Gracias.
宿の方が優しくもてなしてくれた。洗濯はリーズナブルな価格でできた。朝食がおいしかった
安いのでそれなりかもしれませんが、壁のシミや部屋に虫が多くいて清潔感がいまいちでした
Great location, 25-30 min from the airport in tuk tuk. The owner took us to the airport in the morning, they prepared an early breakfast. Very close to a great restaurant (Zen something...).
Los dueños fueron muy agradables, nos consiguieron el conductor que nos llevó desde el aeropuerto, nos prepararon un pequeño desayuno porque nos íbamos temprano y nos hicieron un descuento
Encontré algunas telarañas en la habitación y costaba entenderse con la mujer porque apenas habla inglés aunque te puedes comunicar con la hija por teléfono
Cozy rooms from very nice locals 😊
I stayed at this property for two nights and found it to be excellent value for money. The room was clean, comfortable, and came with both air conditioning and a fan. The hosts were incredibly kind and served a lovely breakfast each morning. Tucked away down a small road off the main street, the location is quiet yet still very convenient—just a short walk to cafes, restaurants, and right across the road from the beach.
Property was in a fantastic location - a very short walk away from the beach and close to nice restaurants. I also used the spa that was very nearby and didn’t need to book an appointment. My room was very clean, comfortable and the water in the shower was hot! Staff were also extremely friendly and even drove me to the airport at 01.15am! Would highly recommended.
Friendly owners, communication is mainly through whatsapp by their daughter but she is very responsive. Price quality very good.
One room had molt on the walls but they immediately gave me another room which was clean and comfortable. The bathroom could be improved a little bit but for the price you cant complain.
The room size is too small an the wash room is outside the room
A good location. We stayed 3 nights before leaving Sri Lanka. We hired bikes from Benny at 'cycle hub' just up the road in Lewis Place, so we were able to get around independently. It is 2 minutes to the beach. Lovely sunsets. The area is touristy, so shops and restaurants are handy, but it is also convenient for the lagoon or the canal. The owners of Ovinuru took us to the airport at 3.30 a m. In their tuctuc.
Proximity to ocean
Breakfast
Hosts are super caring, the location is nice, the breakfast is delicious and generous !
Great stay! The hosts were friendly and prepared a nice breakfast. A balcony were available for use. The room and bathroom were really nice with comfortable beds. The beach was just a 5-minute walk away, and the city was 10 minutes on foot.
All good! Thank you!
This is a lovely quiet location very close to the beach. The family are friendly and helpful, the rooms are attractive with high ceilings, fans and a/c. Have stayed twice, easy transfer to airport. Delicious breakfast included.
For me, mosquito nets would have been good, there were definitely some around.
I had an amazing stay and felt the real srilankan hospitality. The food I ate during breakfast, lunch and dinner was good quantity as well as good taste, just like my house cooked food. I got all the facilities promised in the room. Place is right next to the beach on the main beach road, I could even see the sea from my window. Overall, the cleanliness of the place was also good.
Washroom could be improved as it was lacking few essentials, i.e. clothes hanger, tissue paper holder, etc. But it was super cheap, so I'm not complaining too much.
They were very kind and got up early to make our breakfast and tried to be as helpful as they could with limited English
I think whoever runs the show should show a little generosity of spirit and maybe add a few pillows to the bed and put an extra toilet roll in the bathroom and fix the plumbing,then maybe they could charge a little more.
Near to the beach
Perfect stay! The owners are really hospitable and let me leave my bags and even take a shower downstairs after I had checked out. Room comfortable and big; great value for money. Good showers and breakfast. Location right by the sea (my room had a sea view). Can't recommend enough for a stay in beautiful Negombo.
Staff very good and helpful. Ac was great. Extras, as in tuktuk trips were good and on time.
Nothing. All good.
Extreme friendly and helpful staff. Very good location for a longer stay or just for a shorter stay after arriving or before departing due to its proximity to the airport .
Breakfast was really small. There was a bit strange smell in the bathroom, however it was probably caused by the rain.
Very clean rooms. Great location close to the beach. Staff are really friendly and the breakfast was lovely with a variety of food.
Nothing.
Great place, off track, highly recommend
Still thinking...
Super lovely people let me check in at 4.30am after an overnight flight. Great communication, really comfy bed and the breakfast was delicious!
Nice room, comfortable bed. Clean bathroom. There was soap and shampoo in the bathroom which is a plus. There was a kettle in the room so we could make some tea 👍
The breakfast was a bit small, maybe a room to improve here. No mosqiuto net.
Owner is very helpful and cooperative, room and property well maintained and clean best part was the breakfast with varieties,....loved it
The host was cordial. The breakfast was good. The room was clean
The adress was wrong. Had to pay extra to uber. The ac ws not working.
Very friendly, helpful and responsive owner. Nice and quiet location, close to everything you need.
No mosquito net (was okay because there were not many mosquitoes, but I prefer to have one to be sure). Bed was pretty hard.
A good location with walking distance to the beach. Very peaceful family owned hotel that provides customized services to the guests and make them feel at home.
The family that runs the Guest House is super friendly, they helped me plan the rest of my trip, they picked me up at the airport and always helped me with all my needs.
location was great...walk across road to beach. Dinesh and wife were so welcoming..really helpful ..no problem too great ! took us in tuk tuk anywhere.Pick up from airport too. Accommodation was so spacious ..3 bedrooms..2 en suite one with bathroom next door , loved the location ..near great restauranta and bars ...easy access to central negombo where Dinesh took us .Train station 10 mins away Comes highly recommended from us x
can't think of anything !
Very clean, amazing staff, and delicious breakfast! We had a spacious and well-furnished room, and an incredible experience with a fantastic first impression during our stay in Sri Lanka. The family running the hotel is incredibly kind and helped us with all our questions and needs, such as airport pickup, laundry, organizing our trip, and booking massages. We will definitely come back!"
Had a yummy breakfast. Close to the beach. Calm, clean and nice place. Highly recommend for short or long time stays
Staff were so friendly. Had a great welcome. They help us with airport pick up. Room is clean. Near to the beach
