- Extremely friendly hosts - Nice breakfast
- Cockroach in the bathroom - Fresh brown stains on linen (linen that were actually just ripped fabric pieces) - Moldy showercurtain was cut in half (presumably to get rid of the very moldy curtain parts) Although the room is budget friendly, we stayed in much cleaner and comfortable accomodations on our travels in Sri Lanka for a similar price.
It is a very friendly and lovely villa. The hosts were extremely helpful and kind. Room was very spacious and bedding was comfortable. Very clean and tidy.
We found everything to be perfect.
Fernando et son épouse très sympas et aux petits soins. Je voulais faire le Sri Lanka en tuk tuk ... Et il a tout mis en œuvre pour m'apprendre à conduire. Super heureuse ! Grâce à Fernando, j'ai pu visiter le Sri Lanka avec mes enfants en conduisant mon tuk tuk 🛺💨🌴 Très bon rapport qualité / prix ! Et des hôtes honnêtes
Przyjazna atmosfera, śniadania podawane na tarasie, możliwość zamówienia kolacji, możliwość odbioru z lotniska, wcześniejszego zakwaterowania, elastyczność właścicieli . Sprawna klimatyzacja, moskitiery w pokojach.
Very good accommodation owned by a very nice family. The food is delicious and I definitely recommend this place especially before going to the airport. (Also the air conditioning was very welcome)
Accueil, personnel, le petit déjeuner, la propreté
We booked a room for four people. We are young backpackers, and this was our first stop for a few days. Everything was perfect. Fernando and his family are very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The room was comfortable and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The breakfast was delicious and authentically sri lankan style (Fernando’s wife is an excellent chef). We also arranged an airport transfer, enjoyed an Ayurvedic massage, and took a boat tour around the lagoon. All of these activities were recommended by our hosts, offered at very reasonable prices, and are truly worth experiencing. They were incredibly kind to us and made us feel right at home. Negombo is also a beautiful city with a very local and authentic atmosphere. We were extremely satisfied with our stay, and when we return in the future, we will definitely stay with them again
We had an amazing stay at Fernando‘s place. He and his wife are great people, very caring, supportive and you feel directly at home. We stayed here for two nights and it was absolutely perfect and really authentic. They recommended us so many great things to explore here in Sri Lanka and provided us with valuable insights. Additionally, the room was very clean and the breakfast was also very delicious. We are very happy that we stayed here and can wholeheartedly recommend this place. We will come back!
Really nice accommodation
Very kind host, arranged transfer for us, amazing dinner and breakfast! Air condition is very quiet, we slept very well. Close to airport
Fernandez is a great host. Whole family welcome us with open hearts
Nothing , everything was perfect especially the food I love chicken kotu
L'accueil a été exceptionnel. Nous n'avons passé qu'une seule nuit mais nous aurions passé beaucoup plus. Le petit déjeuner était vraiment excellent. Merci beaucoup pour tout.

Saubere Unterkunft bei sehr netter Familie. Wir durften sogar am Abend noch Duschen benutzen, bevor wir zum Flughafen mussten.
De vriendelijkheid van de uitbaters. Ze gaven onze kamer reeds om 7 am hoewel de check-in pas om 12u was. Ze hebben hier niks extra's voor aangerekend. Heel lekker ontbijt.

Propreté de la chambre, personnel sympathique. Et très bon petit déjeuner, local.
Camera piccola ma molto pulita e accogliente, colazione ottima e abbondante e gli host sono davvero gentili e disponibili
Il doccino era arrugginito
Petit déjeuner très bon. Personnel (Alexandra et son mari) sont accueillants et avenants. Nous avons très bien dormi.
logement bien placé à negombo clim dans la chambre nous étions seuls clients donc c'était calme
Находится в удобном месте, близко к кафе, магазинам, пляжу.
Znakomity personel , świetne śniadania , blisko plaży i bardzo czysto .
Simple clean and welcoming with everything you need close to airport and attractions.
Friendly family and happy to help.
Small property with limited places to sit outside. It’s a small point as the beach is nearby with plenty of room to sit.
Stayed for one night, convenient to get to the airport. Fruit platter for breakfast was good.
The shower was very poor and the place looked a little tired & could do with an update.
Tout est parfait 👌 Très propre et accueillant La literie est ok sauf les grincements
Perfect accomodation in Negombo. Near to sea. The family that owns the accommodation is very kind, and helped with everything and they prepared perfect srilanka's home made meals.
Great host, very tasty breakfast. You can also eat lunch and dinner! Rooms are basic but cosy. There is a shop nearby where you can buy your groceries, nice restaurants around and a wide beach to swim in.

We stayed for two nights at Alexandra Family Villa and had a wonderful experience. The place was very clean and well maintained, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They were always ready to help and made us feel at home throughout our stay. The environment was peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a long day. We were four people staying together in one room, and it was comfortable for all of us. We truly enjoyed our time there and had a very positive feeling during our stay. There is also a café on-site where we had both breakfast and dinner. Everything was very delicious, and we definitely recommend trying it during your stay.
Chambre très propre et spacieuse. Très bon accueil. Hôtes très sympathiques et arrangeants.
Cudowni i pomocni wlasciciele, pokoj mały, ale uroczy-wszystkie elementy rozowe. Idealny na noc przed wylotem. Polecam!
Bardzo miła i pomocna obsługa . Smaczne śniadania. Czysto. Dobra lokalizacja -dojazd do lotniska w Negombo taksówką trwa ok 25 min ( cena przejazdu ok 1000 LKR ) . Dobry na jedną noc przed dalszą podróżą

Sehr nette, hilfsbereite Familie
Friendly owner and good location
The Host is very helpful! A great place to stay after the long journey from europe.

Really friendly and helpful hosts
The location is perfect and the family is more than welcoming! The breakfast is also really good. They are really helpful if you have any questions or you need recommandations!
Nothing.
We enjoyed our two night stay at this family run villa.Fernando and Chamila are wonderful hosts. They helped us with planning our trip and arranged for a driver Kamal for our travels who has been great.
Clean homely villa.
The decor in the bedrooms isn’t to my taste at all. It’s perfectly adequate.
Very friendly host
It is very basic to say the least. I expected something much better seeing all glowing reviews. The property is in poor condition, rooms too. When we arrived we saw someone’s underwear and socks drying all around. Mosquito net is hanged poorly, lays on your face when you sleep. Luckily we only stayed here for one night before flight. The owner also charges premium to bring you to the airport 4000 rupees while we called a regular taxi for 1000.
Lovely host, location is also decent. For the charge they do, it's full value for money. Neat and clean room and one I stayed in or I think all rooms have attached bathroom.
Jude Fernando was very hospitable and we felt very happy with the tour we did. A wonderful place to arrive in Sri Lanka.
The homestay is the perfect place to recover from the flight to Sri Lanka and start your journey. Jude and his family helped us with everything and we were also able to hire a tuktuk. Close to the beach and great restaurants on top. The food at the homestay was also great. Can be recommended 100%.
Nothing!
Excellent host, very nice very helpfull!! Excellent breakfast!
breakfast were very good, but expensive
The owner wanted to overcharge for additional activities
We stayed in the villa for the first and last night of our trip and were very satisfied. Very nice family who looked after us very well. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We were also able to store our bike cases there and clean our bikes there at the end. The family kindly organized the transfer to and from the airport for us. We can highly recommend the Sir Lanka breakfast there! Many thanks for everything!
We had a wonderful stay. The owners were so helpful, organising trips for us and cooking beautiful Sri Lankan food. They could not have been more helpful and kind. The homestay is in a lovely quiet street, walking distance from the beach and tourist area. Thoroughly recommend.
Nothing
Very close to beach and restaurants. Extremely nice owners make each stay wonderful.
The host family was incredibly friendly and helpful. They really went out of their way to ensure my stay was enjoyable. The breakfast was very tasty and affordable – I thoroughly enjoyed it! The room was spotless, and I was impressed by the cleanliness. What stood out most was that they allowed me to check in early so I could rest and recover from my jetlag. They even apologized for not being able to clean as thoroughly as usual because of my early check-in, but honestly, I couldn’t imagine how the room could have been any cleaner! Additionally, the neighborhood felt very safe to me as a solo female traveler. I had no concerns walking around alone even in the dark. The beach as well as supermarkets, shops and restaurants are in walking distance, so it's a great place to spend a few relaxing beach days.
There’s really only one small downside: from the pictures online I got the impression that the property was directly on the beach. But it's just a short walk, so overall, it was a wonderful experience!
Excellent stay. Enjoyed thoroughly. Wonderful host. Close to the beaches and restaurants. caretaker Jude and Family were very cooperative and taken well care.
Nothing as such.
Very nice accommodation, close to the sea. Super friendly owners who invited us to a family celebration, which was an amazing experience on our last day in Sri Lanka. Excellent breakfast. The airport transfer at night (which I was a bit worried about) went smoothly, everything was precise and on time. Thank you so much once again! We had a wonderful time staying with you.
Excellent hosting. Superb cooperation and support. Near to beaches and good restaurants. Close to international airport. Rooms are neat and clean.
Nothing as such
Close to the airport. The host are really helpful. We could do check in really late without any problem.
The host is super friendly, he helped us with so many things, we even woke him at 4am to get us a taxi because our Uber failed and he was not angry at us at all :P I highly recommend this place after landing and before departure, bacause it's really close both to the airport and the beach
Really lovely stay with welcoming hosts! Would definitely stay again
- well equipped room with air condition and big bathroom with hot water - friendly owner - calm and clean place - good location close to beach and street with restaurants
Everything was good, the people and their hospitality, food was delicious and near to the airport. Will recommend further !
Location is very good, walking distance from the beach and main street. The breakfast was very tasty. The host offers pick up from the airport and it was very helpful.

I had a great stay. The hosts were really helpful and lovely. They organized pickup from the station, a tuktuk to bring me to the fishmarket and around the city. His brother drove me 3h to Sigiriya afterwards for a fair price and was a great driver. I booked the house again for my last night before I‘m going back to enjoy their hospitality and great food! :)
Nothing to share
The rooms were very nice and clean and air conditioning worked great. The best part about this accommodation though was the hosts. The food was awesome, and Jude went out of his way to help us in any way he could. Jude helped us to get a Sri Lanka drivers license and drove us four hours to Wilpattu in his Tuk Tuks for a great rate. Highly highly recommend this accommodation.
We had two great nights in Alexandra Family Villa, everything was super clean and the beds were really comfortable. Jude and his lovely wife are so friendly, great with the kids and helped us with everything needed. I would very much recommend this place!
Excellent first stop after arrival, close to beach and not far From the airport. Hosts are very friendly and everything is very clean. Host helped us arrange a great driver for the next part of our trip. Also called later to make sure we were ok. Breakfast was excellent!!
It was clean and the owner was nice.
Small, hot, very dated room . Room door opened straight into shared open living space so could hear all conversations and noise. Arrived after an 11day tour of Sri Lanka in standard rated rooms. Found this totally unacceptable and didn’t stay here .
Friendly and helpful host. Lovely Sri Lanka breakfast.
Nothing
The hotel was good
Everything was ok. Delicious breakfast. Jude made sure that we were not lacking anything.
The rooms need some renovation as well as the bathroom. But for a quick stopover at the airport, its 100% sufficient
