Bee Cottage Negombo

This cottage was probably the best accommodations we booked for our Sri Lanka trip, mainly due to the attentiveness and just genuine caring nature of the hosts. My Wife had her birthday while we were here (not planned as we were due to be home before this but the war in the middle east happened) and the hosts helped me plan and execute a surprise decoration of the cottage and a cake which I will be eternally grateful for. The cottage itself has absolutely everything you would ever need for a stay. I could not recommend this place enough.

Not one thing comes to mind for this section.

La posizione,la tranquillità,la signora super premurosa che ci ha aiutato in un momemto per noi drammatico preparando i i pasti e le colazioni.. abbiamo utilizzato anche le biciclette.4-6 marzo con voli di rientro cancellati.ringraziero' la signora per tutta la vita!!!!

Niente.

House is beautiful. You will find peace here.

Die Wohnung ist groß und der Außenbereich sehr schön angelegt mit privatem Pool. Die Kinder haben den flachen Bereich im Pool geliebt. Ansonsten ist auch alles da. Wir haben direkt Spielzeug bekommen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Hilfsbereitschaft und Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber und dass an allen Türen und Fenstern Fliegenschutzgitter sind.

Es waren Ameisen im Wohnzimmer, was sich denke ich durch die nicht ganz dichten Türen und Fenster nicht vermeiden lässt, da es inSri Lanka generell sehr viele Insekten gibt.

Anton and Pushpika, I can't thank you enough for letting us use your cottage as our own. With a 5yo, we always are concerned about places to visit but your place was awesome for every one, especially my kid and my wife (they didn't want to leave). I have already become an advocate for your cottage and your support as hosts. Hoping to see you soon... For those, who are planning to stay around Negombo, please just book this cottage and dump all your concerns over the hosts' shoulders. They will happily take care of everything, be it a kitchen utensil or car rental. Just try to be respectful towards the hosts because they deserve it.

The pool should have hand rails dor extra safety

Bee Cottage is a peaceful little oasis in Negombo. The cottage is spotless, spacious, and set in a beautiful garden with a lovely pool. The host is warm and welcoming, making the stay feel truly special. Perfect location and excellent hospitality — highly recommended!

Heerlijk ruim huis met eigen zwembad. Prima locatie, vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaren. De gastvrouw maakte een heerlijk Sri Lankaans ontbijt voor ons.

Bee Cottage is located in a quiet residential street. The house is a spacious 2 bedroom property, very private with a lovely courtyard garden and a small pool. There are bicycles for guests to use, which was fun and convenient. The fresh traditional breakfasts each morning were lovely. The owners of Bee Cottage are so friendly and kind. When I became unwell, they looked after me as if i was one of the family. I'm truly thankful for their care. We part as friends.

I highly recommend this accommodation! Clean spacious apartment. Lovely garden with swimming pool. The hostess ❤️ is a lovely, warm and kind person. She was always ready to help if we needed help. We were able to check in a day before the agreed check-in time at short notice and we are very grateful for that. If I return to Negombo I will definitely choose Bee Cottage.

A perfect stay at a lovely accommodation. Even though it was a Sri Lankan national holiday, the extraordinary hosts were more than prepared for our arrival. They thought of everything important: insect repellent spray / incense, coffee, tea, stove, fridge, washing machine, guest security monitor, infant high chair, comfy outdoor furniture, children's books, etc. They didn't miss a beat. It is quite obvious the hosts put a lot of thought, care, and work into developing the property. One could see their care and expert craftsmanship on display in the outdoor shower, flooring, gardens, exterior decking, and ultra clean pool. On the morning of our departure, they offered us fresh fruit and a ride to the airport. After chatting with one of the hosts on the way to the airport, we remarked to each other how we wish we had more time to get to know them better. Hopefully, we will be able to stay again when we return to Sri Lanka. Thank you both very much for a comfortable, wonderful stay.

The accommodation was very clean. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We arrived late at night and they were very welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and all home made with generous portions. They have a beautiful garden and two cute tortoises. The rooms are well done with good air-conditioning. Tea and coffee sachets are provided. The accommodation is definitely recommended.

The inside bathroom was a bit small with no running hot water. It would help to have some fresh milk in the fridge to make tea. The road is a bit narrow.

House was huge ,exactly as shown in picture and spotless cleaned. The garden was very well managed. The kitchen was perfect. All properties list full kitchen but usually no lids not enough pans and no basic need items...here it was carefully and thoughtfully provided with all necessaries. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Breakfast was also very delicious in big quantities.. my kids loved pool, tortoise, and fish pond. They allowed us late checkout for our late flight . It was such hospitality that we felt like visiting a friends house. Pushpika welcomed kids with lots of toys. It's a great place near the airport and markets.

Dont miss this place if you have kids or are planning to stay long in negombo.

The cottage is a nice house with a lot of space and a nice garden.. The house has everything it needs and is very clean. The host is very nice and made an excellent breakfast.

Only possible to take a cold shower but not an issue with the high temperatures.

I'm always wary of reviews which are all 5*. Nothing can be that good. Well exceptions prove the rule. Everything about our stay was exceptional. The property is spacious, well maintained, and within its own compound. It and the surrounding very pleasant neighborhood is very peaceful. An absolutely superb location to overcome a long flight- and the hosts can arrange the easy transfer. The beach is nearby accessible by the properties free bikes or a very short Tuk Tuk ride away. All of the above is possible due to the kindness and attention to detail provided by the hosts.

We were very satisfied. The accommodation is excellently equipped. The house is located in a beautiful garden with a clean swimming pool. Everything you could possibly need is here. The owners are the best. We came with a baby and they brought us extra baby stuff for her. I hope we will be back soon.

We loved everything.

Clean and comfort place Thank You ❤️

This place was so much more than we expected! It was so lovely to have a whole house to ourselves and have souch space to relax at the end of a busy trip. The outside area is a little oasis and it's easy to forget you are in the city. The pool is great and the owners really have thought of everything to make for a comfortable and easy stay. You could happily stay in this place for weeks! The owners are super friendly and helpful and made us a delicious breakfast too. There's not lots nearby, but several eating options within a 15-20 minute walk. The airport is about a 30 minute drive away.

Nothing!

We loved everything about Bee Cottage. You will be lucky if they have a vacancy! They were simply the best and most interesting hosts we had over a 3 week holiday in SL . This cottage was an oasis away from the tourist strip yet an easy tuk tuk ride to the beach front . Bee Cottage is an opportunity to experience a traditional family home in a quieter area.

We liked everything!

We couldn't wish a better start to our journey! Our plane landed at dawn and our hosts were as kind as to offer a very early check-in, personally welcomed us at the villa and brought as an extra breakfast after our morning nap. The house is just perfect for a jet-lagged family - quiet location, spacious, clean, well-equipped and feels very safe. The host family lives next door and was always helpful with anything we needed. Our kids spent a lot of time in the swimming pool and loved the pet turtles that live in the yard. We enjoyed our breakfasts, especially the chicken curry and roti.

Everything was great, we'd love to come back again!

Staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. A short ride from/ to the airport. Thank you, Bee Cottage.

I would wholly recommend a stay at Bee cottage. My sister and I arrived as guests and definitely left as friends. The cottage is well appointed comfortable and equipped. The hosts are there for you at anytime and are extremely helpful. They helped sort approval for driving licence and car hire. We had a weekend away to the mountains to visit the Elephant sanctuary and they text us a few times just to see if we where OK. If you are looking for a home from home you will find it at Bee Cottage.

It’s a lovely place that feels like a home away from home, but with the hospitality of a hotel. The owners took good care of me and the property. You can ask them for anything any time. I’ll book again when in Negombo.

For us, Bee Cottage felt like a Home away from home. We spent two nights and it was the best decision to book this. It is very close to the airport (we went there three times to drop my mother off and for our own flight two days later and every time it took only around 20 to 25 minutes) and we were glad about the washing mashine to do our laundry after two weeks of travelling. One of the highlights is of course the pool, which is perfect to relax (even when it's raining :)). My other favourite was the outside bathroom, which is just great. The couple who manages the cottage, is lovely. The two are discreet and pleasant people who are always available and put their heart and soul into the vacation home. The contact in advance was not intrusive, as I have experienced in other accommodations, but very polite and helpful. The entire facility and equipment is thought out to the smallest detail, we have lacked nothing and the breakfast is insane! Thank you, we recommend staying at Bee Cottage Negombo and hope to come back soon ♡

Our stay at Bee Cottage in Negombo was outstanding. It's spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a kitchen which we used for making tea and coffee, and a private pool for relaxation. However, what sets it apart is the incredible host who welcomed us with treats and cooked us a delicious dinner. The care and warmth made our stay outstanding. If i could change anything about our Sri Lanka trip it would be to spend a few more nights here to unwind before leaving. It's a solid 10 out of 10, and we'll definitely return if we come back to Sri Lanka. 🐝

The owner was amazing. She picked us up at the airport, waited there for an hour, because we were late. On the way home they bought us coconuts. We had a welcome coffee/tee. She was extra caring, making sure that we are okay, even texted us if we reached our next destination safely. And the place is also great. A whole house for youself (and pool)

My husband and I stayed one week at the Bee Cottage. It was a great experience for us. We really enjoyed the fresh breakfast served to us every morning. The cottage was stocked with just about everything you might need. It was very clean and organized. It has a beautiful garden with fresh foods to enjoy along with a small fish pond. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. They were always available if we needed anything. The wifi worked great the whole time we stayed. There is also a pair of pedal bikes available if you want to go for a ride. This cottage is close enough to the main road to get around quickly. I think the best part of our stay was having a private pool just outside the front door! The parking was easy and the property is gated. I would definitely recommend this property for any length of stay.

There wasn't anything we can really say we didn't like. This place is great!

We found this accommodation at the last minute after leaving our booked accommodation which did not meet our expectations. At first, we were skeptical, due to small number of reviews, as the owners opened the accommodation only recently. Upon arrival, we were very pleasantly surprised, the pool was very refreshing after a long and stressfull day. Everything was new and clean, AC was working, the owners were very nice and helpful, and the breakfast was simply perfect. The best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far, I definitely recommend.
