Nada. Contratamos con Booking el hotel Coral Nest con 6 meses de antelación, y un día antes de la reserva nos manda email diciendo que el hotel ha cambiado de nombre y se llama María Villa. Ningún problema, vamos y nos encontramos el hotel cerrado (y no era reciente en cierre por la sensación de abandono) con un teléfono para llamar. El rótulo del nombre “nuevo” había vivido bastantes meses, el cambio no era nuevo. Nos dicen que el hotel está cerrado y que nos llevan a otro, al que vamos y está lleno, y de ahí nos derivan a un tercero (el 3R Resort) muchísimo peor diciéndonos que nos mantienen el precio. Nuestra sensación? Te ponen el gancho con fotos del hotel bueno y cuando llegas te dan dos opciones mucho peor, pero claro, ya estás ahí. Nosotros, tras la primera noche, pagamos esa noche y nos cambiamos al Negombo Cottage por nuestra cuenta. No piquéis con este hotel.
Todo
Alles wie beschrieben, problemloser check in mitten in dr Nacht.Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit
Alles war gut
Friendly and helpful staff, good location near the city , tasteful breakfast
Freundliches Personal! Sehr bemüht! Zimmer sauber mit AC. Frühstück mit guter Auswahl.
Für Frühstück und Pool musste man in das Hotel 2 min mit Tuk Tuk entfernt. Strand leider sehr dreckig, vielleicht liegt es an der Nebensaison. Wer im September schönen Strand sucht, ist an der Ostküste besser aufgehoben.
Obsługa była bardzo miła i przystępna
Najgorszy hotel w jakim miałam okazję być. Na dzień przed nasz hotel został zmieniony na Jleaf bez zmiany rezerwacji na booking, jedynie wiadomość, zaifalismy i nigdy więcej nie popełnimy tego błędu. Prześcieradła brudne, łóżko umazane w jakiejś czerwonej szmince, łazienka wygląda conajmniej dramatycznie. Obsługa przystępna, ale śniadanie to jakiś dramat. Niby szwedzki stół ale wszystkie pojemniki puste, dżemy sfermentowane i jedyne co zostało nam zaproponowane to naleśniki z gigantyczną ilością cukru i omlet z cebulą bez żadnych pozostałych rzeczy 🫠 Po poinformowaniu Pani o stanie pokoju obiecała że ogarną brud jaki był w pomieszczeniu jeszcze tego samego dnia, jednak nie stało się to przez 3 dni! Nigdy więcej tu nie wrócimy… to był dramat
Very clean and nice hotel. Very well located. The staff is super nice and friendly as well. Breakfast is very good too! I recommend it!!
This hotel exceeded our expecations by a very long mile! The room was very cosy, clean and the Villa itself is situated on a more quiet street, but still close to one of the restaurant streets. The included breakfast is served in another hotel of the same owner and had a variety of local and western options. We were especially impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the young receptionist at the Villa :)
Personale molto gentile e disponibile, la camera era spartana, ma spaziosa e pulita. Si può fare colazione in un'hotel affiliato a pochissimi minuti di macchina (il personale dell'hotel ti porterà avanti e indietro). In generale un'ottima esperienza
L’emplacement et le calme du quartier ainsi que le confort de la literie Bon petit déjeuner
Prix un peu élevé La douche ne fonctionnait pas même si le personnel s’est employé à trouver des solutions

La chambre était spacieuse. Le personnel était amical. On nous a fourni un petit déjeuner à emporter car nous avions un vol très tôt le matin.
Le lit était inconfortable car beaucoup trop mou. Il y a eu un problème avec la réservation, notre chambre n’était pas une chambre familiale mais l’hôte nous en a accordé une sans frais supplémentaire.
Very Clean and Friendly Staff, Ajith was very friendlier
Very hospitable owner, clean rooms, small cozy garden, tasty breakfast.... and even there is samovar :)) Close to the main street and Negombo beach.
Nice breakfast, friendly host and everything you need
Extremely friendly and helpful owner, very clean accommodation, quiet location. 10 out of 10. Will come back!
The property was very clean and beautiful, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I felt like I was enjoying a stay with my family. The bed was very comfortable and I had the best sleep during my stay. Being able to walk to the restaurants and take my daily beach walks was a definite plus.
Nothing.
Great location and spotlessly clean. Our host Janet was lovely and very helpful. Comfy big bed and good shower. Close proximity to shops and restaurants.
Nothing - all was excellent!
The hostess was super friendly and kind. She arranged the cleaning of our rental tuktuk.
It was a very good accommodation, very safe, well furnished with many different communal areas as well as a generous sized bedroom, kitchen, dining area and lounge area so ideal if you wanted to cater for yourself.The breakfast was fine, fruit, omlette and toast with tea or coffee. The host was very friendly and helpful and organised a car for 1.30am making sure the driver was in plenty of time and stayed up to check everything went smoothly. We were very grateful.
We paid for breakfast separate for the accommodation and felt it was a little expensive but hadn't asked the price beforehand so no complaints.
Janet was very helpful and friendly
Maria Villa is in a quiet backstreet close to the beach. Comfortable room. Janet the owner is lovely and very helpful with booking tours and local information. Highly recommend. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at Maria Villa. Janet made us feel right at home making our visit to Negombo nicer and welcoming. Our room was spacious and very clean; a nice size bathroom with hot water. The rooftop offers beautiful views of the area. Maria Villa is located on a quiet street within walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach. We would stay here again.
Liked everything about Maria Villa.
Very service-minded host Very comfortable beds Modern room and toilet Affordable price
Ms. Janet is very nice and helpful. It also makes a very good breakfast. The room and bathroom are clean, have air conditioning and a very comfortable bed. There is also hot water in the bathroom. It is quiet and good for relaxation. It also has a garden. We recommend staying here.
Lovely hotel experience in Sri Lanka. It set a quite high standard for the rest of our hotel selections. The owner had international background, so she understands customer's needs more easily. We had our first local Lion Larger there. Love every moment staying in Maria's Villa.
Nice staff.
Janet & her team was a fantastic & helpful host. We highly recommend her place.

Really friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome on our first arrival in Sri Lanka. Lovely breakfast. The property is close to the beach and restaurants. Comfortable bed. Great value for money.
Great location. The center and markets are within walkable distance. Maria villa is full of taste and style and I loved my two nights stay there. The hostess is a super kind and cool lady. In case staying at Negombo, this place is highly recommended!
The switch for the fan in the room was too sensitive in the meaning that you turn a little bit and the fan either barely spins or it spins crazily. Luckily, I could handle that. The breakfast offered there was tasty but the portion was too small to be honest especially compared to what I had received everywhere in Sri Lanka.
It was clean and secluded. It was very peaceful considering you are in the city. Felt like staying in a resort. The property is gated so really felt immersed. Janet’s breakfast was lovely the omelette was amazing and the beds are so comfy. They are also long beds so being taller this really helped.

No dislikes
Great place, we arrived late night from the airport and the owner was there to welcome us. She was very kind and accomodating. The place is very very clean and has all the required amenities. The breakfast made to demand by the owner herself and the little morning chat with her was delightful. We felt very welcome for our first day in Sri Lanka. Thank you
The room very nice. Bed comfortable.Shower very good.The location close to the Lewis Road and the beach. The lady who served breakfast incredible friendly. Service with a smile. I met the owner on my last evening. . Very nice lady who takes care of her clients and has a good heart . Tries to help lots of people who live under difficult circumstances. Chapeau !
All is well and very good organised.
Very nice rooms, with fan and Aircon.The place is spotless and very close to restaurants and shops. Also very close to the beach. The house itself is in very good condition as well and the host was very friendly. Good parking.
BREAKFAST is a bit expensive at 4 Eur p.p., so we did not take it.
Very friendly & helpful owner, good size bedroom, modern bathroom. High standard of cleanliness. Nice outdoor space to sit in. Very good value for money. Location good - walkable to the beach, & to shops & restaurants. 20 minutes drive to airport.
Nothing.
Nice room and very polite and helpful owner
Janet was an incredible host! My girlfriend and I arrived in Negombo very late at night, but Janet stayed up to welcome us. The room was clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone coming to Negombo
Nice English breakfast. Really clean. Comfortable beds. Close to beach road
Nice breakfast, nice owners. Greetings from Lithuania!
Normally quiet, hospital, new stylish room. Thank you for the mosquito net, it needed there - and a room with it is ideal for me. They even help me to send postcards!
This Friday especially was a party but it was finished near midnight. The bed is very soft - but it really depends on how you love, then mark is 10.
1. Room is clean and modern, AC works well. 2. Owner is pretty nice and very helpful (She is living in Europe and has staff onsite to manage the place, communicating on booking.com is the best way) 3. We loved the complimentary tea and coffee in the morning 4. The whole house is very nice and beautiful and has many areas to chill 5. Location is easy to find
1. Wifi not working well so we had to reply on mobile data. Even when connected to wifi, the internet is either very slow or you get disconnected quite frequently 2. Weak water flow for shower
Top hospitality! Owners and sfat were super nicd with me: I was suppose to leave Sri Lanka and they let me keep the room also in the afternoon (despite check out was at 11 am) Location very closed tk the sea and you can visit market also by walking. Rooms are wonderful, with everythjng you need and also very nice. Breakfast is vedy good (fruit, eggs, toast, tea) Thanks again for the lovely time!
Nice looking building, Nice garden. Locked fence all around. Prvat tuktuk/carparking possible. Nice staffmember.
Booked 3 nights.Only a lIttle daylight in room. No balcony connected to room. Outside room everywhere Cameras. We had to work but wifi was only working last evening. The free breakfast was simple. Fruit minimal.
we had a delay of our flight and the staff was very friendly with being flexible with our check in date
bathroom was not so well cleaned
everything was perfect: clean room, good AC, delicious breakfast, very nice host
Janet was so friendly and helpful, we arrived late at night and she was happy to wait for us and gave us multiple options for the room we wanted to stay in. Quiet area, walking distance from restaurants and beach. Clean and big room, lots of storage space. We loved the rooftop which you can climb up and watch the sunrise/sunset. So serene! Would recommend if you are in Negombo, thank you Janet!
The shower sometimes didn't have hot water, but wasn't too much of an issue as Negombo is a warm city!
