Villa Taprobane

We have been welcomed by a lovely familly. The room and bathroom are very clean. The beds are comfortable, equiped with mosquito nets. The brakefast and dinner are amazing, Sharmila could open à restaurant ! And we got helpful advise on our arrival about Sri Lanka. We can't recommend too much this place.

Host was super nice and helped us a lot!

The hostess (Shamilla) was very kind and polite. A warm and friendly lady. She made us feel welcome. She gave us some tips about the do's & don'ts of the country. She was very honest. The room was quit nice and proper as was the whole establishment. Breakfast was extensive, freshly made with lots of fruit. The environment was peaceful. We had contact before we left from the airport. When we arrived, everything was arranged. Our driver from the shuttle was waiting for us and took us directly to Villa Taprobane. No negitiation about prices, cause the hostess had taken care of everything. We might come back here, before we go home. The stay is perfectly located from the airport.

The open bathroom was neat and clean. But at night insects (cockroaches) would fly in to have a look. As a West European that really shook me up. I was scared.. cause they were pretty bigsized. Fortunately the hostess was very alert and fixed the 'little problems' right away. They will put a net up to keep the bugs out in the future. You shouldn't stay away because of this minor issue, the country is so warm, it is normal you will encounter situations like this. The family running this homestay deserves a visit for they are decent people with a kind heart.

Honestly we loved it all! The owner was super sweet and helpful with finding local and cheap places to eat. She made us tea and coffee every morning and we got to use to kitchen and fridge for fruits and veg. She arranged transportation. Location is great away from the hussel and bussel and there are bikes to use. Overall great experience.

Small beds for two ppl maybe upgrade for the bigger bed.
