Negombo hotellia

Plussat: We only arrived late night and didn't actually get to enjoy the surroundings as we took off immediately in the morning but the couple was waiting up for us despite it being late and always tried their best to meet our needs and answer our questions. The room is basic but clean and does the job. The outdoor space is spacious and seems like a nice place to relax. The breakfast was fine.

Miinukset: We wanted to take a late night swim when we arrived but the water looked a bit cloudy and you have to be careful as I always slipped while walking on the tiles close to the swimming pool steps. However, the next morning, it seemed like the cool was clean and there was a family using it.

Plussat: The pool

Miinukset: The shower

Plussat: Nice pool for the kids, and friendly host

Miinukset: The breakfast was not that good especially when comparing to the other places we stayed

Plussat: Good ride to airport for a reasonable price. Location was nice. Staffs were also friendly. Arriving and departing from Sri Lanka it would be a really nice choice.

Plussat: The hosts were very helpful

Plussat: This small hotel is family-run and well maintained by the friendly owner Madeline, her husband, two adult children and staff. The western style breakfast at a reasonable price, was delicious and filling. The location was quiet and very convenient near shops, restaurants and the beach. Tuk Tuks were available nearby for local tours. Several families with children were there during my stay. I did not use the small pool but saw the families enjoying it.

Miinukset: I was greeted and shown my room on my late arrival around 9 pm, however, no staff were available after that- they probably all went to bed. Although toiletries were included in the hotel description, we got only a tiny bar of soap and no shampoo- a minor complaint but would have been appreciated on a late arrival.

Plussat: This was the second time we were staying at this place. It is great! The rooms are big and clean, the beds are comfortable. The yard is beautiful! The staff is very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

Plussat: Excellent location a short walk fron the beach. Tasty beakfast, very filling.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location is great. Can walk to restaurants and can take took-took very easily, if needed. breakfast was very good and served with a smile. The family very kind and helpful. Room is simple but comfortable and clean.

Plussat: We booked here based on the lonely planet recommendation. We were picked up at the airport, even though our flight was late, and the family running it were really friendly. They organised a taxi to our next location with short notice and provided a great breakfast. Our room was just what we needed, with great air con and a bottle of water!

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Nice family! They are very helpful. One of the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka! Very clean, pretty house and garden.

Miinukset: Nothing :)

Plussat: Brilliant, welcoming staff - near to airport so would highly recommend. Nothing was too much bother. Was greeted at 1am as I arrived with an umbrella to protect me from the rain - exceptionally nice owners

Plussat: Sharmina and her husband are very helpful. We stayed at their place upon our arrival in Sri Lanka and the night before our departure as it's very close to the airport. They organised for us the shuttle service. The breakfast was tasty and the wifi works well. We highly recommend this place :)

Miinukset: There is not a lot to see in Negombo. The beach is walking distance from their place however it's not the kind of beach to chill and swim.

Plussat: How friendly the hosts were and how big the room was. More than comfortable for three people.. nice and peaceful and a great place to relax and catch up with sleep after a long flight.

Plussat: Perfect after a long flight, to relax and visit Negombo (you can borrow a bike for free to ride around). Room was perfect, clean, confortable bed with a mosquito net, wifi. Nice terrace. Lovely family, the owner made us feel very welcomed, and gave us some helpful hints, good breakfast ! Bohoma istouti !

Plussat: Lovely and quite place, perfect relaxation!! The owner was a really lovely host!!! Lost for words to describe how helpful she was,6* Room was big and clean. Value for money. Lovely garden. I hope to be back again one day!!!

Plussat: Staff was amazing, very friendly and welcoming The breakfast was amazing, a lot of food for very little money We booked a cheap room but got a better room Close to the beach and they let us use their bikes for free which is a big plus We would definitely stay here again

Miinukset: Airco was not very cold

Plussat: The owners were wonderful people. I really enjoyed having breakfast in their peaceful garden while the owner and I chatted about my itinerary and gave me lots of helpful travel tips. It was the perfect start to my Sri Lankan trip. I checked on at 2am and the owner was contactable via WhatsApp and stayed up for me - this was such a great help and really appreciated! It was only 20/25 minutes away from the airport which was great when landing that late at night.

Plussat: 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.

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

Plussat: All beautiful.best hotel in Sri Lanka.ok no spectactular view restaurant limited.but not in the mountains.quite beautiful welcoming.fridge tv pool.a joy.thank you.always there but never intrusive.huge bed perfect wifi. Hope Sri Lanka becomes stable and they dont put prices up.been Sri Lanka two years.trust me been to Sri Lanka two years.wonderful after the troubles.. good luck with business and life.

Plussat: This is our second stay at Morning Star Guest house, it is very conveniently located in Negombo, close to restaurants & shops & of course the airport. Room was so big & comfortable with separate sitting room. Breakfast was a highlight with lovely food & beautiful tropical fruit.

Miinukset: Everything was fine.

Plussat: Amazing pool facility, great location and friendly staff. Definitely recommend eating dinner there!!

Miinukset: -

Miinukset: Just perfect !!

Plussat: I really can recommend the Morning Star Guest House. It is furnished in a modern style, has a nice pool and the rooms are clean. The guest house is not directly located at the beach, but it's only 10min away by foot. The staff is really friendly and helps you whenever you have any question.

Plussat: Lovely garden and pool, plenty storage, nice front porch on our room, lovely breakfast.

Plussat: Only stayed one night but staff were obliging and welcoming.

Miinukset: Continental breakfast good. British breakfast poor.

Plussat: Nice and clean big familie room. Greet garden voor child to play. Nice people.

Plussat: We very much enjoyed our stay here. The swimming pool was perfect for a quick dip after walking through the close by city. During breakfast a variety of tasty foods were served. Coffee and tea were excellent. The staff was very nice and attentive.

Plussat: The restaurant has great tasting food - breakfast and evening meal. The staff are super friendly and the place is like a little oasis tucked away. It has rooms around a courtyard area with plants and greenery and a wonderful pool to relax in. We stayed here at the start of our Sri Lankan holiday and it was a good place to start our travels from. We liked it so much we decided to make it also our last stay as it’s close to the airport and had late check out. You can also get massages (free pick up and drop off) and the Internet connection is quick. Recommended! Definitely stay for dinner.

Plussat: Location, clean and big room

Miinukset: I reserved for a standard double room, however I was given a twin bed room on first floor and near the pool, when I complaint with the counter, I was changed to 3rd floor double room after. The service will be excellent if it was pre-arranged according to my booking.

Plussat: Really nice and helpful staff, we arrived at 7 am and we could immediately check in. Nice swimming pool, good location, good breakfast.

Plussat: Exceptionally friendly, helpful staff. Made us feel welcome. Good location for tuk tuk tour of Negombo and loads of restaurants within easy reach catering for all budgets.

Miinukset: Rooms offered good value for money although they are a little plain with no frills added.

Plussat: Very clean and very friendly helpful dtaff

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Staff was so helpful and friendly.

Plussat: Great breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff, close to very good restaurants.

Plussat: Good breakfast . Nice pool.

Miinukset: Limited parking spaces.

Plussat: Erittäin rauhallinen hotelli keskeisestä sijainnista huolimatta, hyvä sänky , ilmastointi ja siistit huoneet.

Plussat: The hospitality at the suite 262 is so good. We booked this hotel the night before our flight, due to the location to the airport. We were welcomed with a lovely drink and spent the afternoon by the pool. We had to be out of the hotel by 6.30am, so they did us egg sandwiches and fruit to take with us for our breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Miinukset: The location isn't the best but the hotel is well back from the road and we heard no traffic noise.

Plussat: The location was good. The people are nice and they tried to help with everything. You have a lot of restaurants and bars close to this hotel. They arranged us a nice tour and also a transfer to Mirissa. For a stay of one or two days it is perfectly fine.

Miinukset: We didn't linke the breakfast. There was no Sri Lankan food and what we got was not really good. There should be other bread than toast and the marmelade was just sugar. The shower was ok but the water got out of the shower... the whole ground was wet after taking a shower.

Plussat: Break fast was good although it wasn't a buffet. Great staff and hospitality.

Miinukset: No in house restaurant. Had to go out and hunt for dinner. A restaurant would make lives easier to order and eat food from the hotel itself.

Plussat: All in all just perfect, very friendly, very caring and very helpful staff (especially Reshan, Ama and Nabeel) with a lot of advices and perfect service! Amazing room and hotel totally clean! Gym was also great! Many thanks for all! I really appreciate!

Plussat: Great location, great facilities - spa, gym, beautiful views, friendly staff.

Miinukset: The food was great, however somewhat limited range of food available. The western food was ok, but that could have been fixed by a wider range of Sri Lankan food.

Plussat: Location Staff, especially Mr Lashan Facilities

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Upea sijainti aivan rannalla, paljon ravintoloita lähistöllä. Rauhallinen allasalue. Erinomainen aamiainen. Minibaarin saapumispäivän sisältö kuului huonehintaan.

Miinukset: Huoneiden ilmastointia ei saanut säädettyä sopivalle. Allasalueella ja rannalla häiritsevän paljon lintuja ja oravia. Huone perussiisti mutta tämäntasoisessa hotellissa olisi odottanut hieman enemmän.

Plussat: Sijanti hyvä ja lähellä lentokenttää. Uima-allas ja sen yhteydessä oleva baari on miellyttävä yhdistelmä. Hotellin vastaanoton henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällinen kuten myös "ovimiehet". Hotellihuoneen siivous oli hoidettu ensiluokkaisesti.

Miinukset: Meren hiekkarannan siivous pidemmältä oli hoitamatta ja siellä oli runsaasti kaikenlaista meren tuomaan tai sinne heitettyä roskaa (muovipulloja ym. roinaa).

Plussat: It was beautiful- loved it

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Even though it was a big hotel, we received a lot of personal attention.

Plussat: Beautiful place friendly staff great service

Miinukset: Nothing everything was to perfection

Plussat: Beautiful interior. Nice rooms. Good service. Great pool. Nice bar. Good food.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were very much looked after each night as we enjoyed a sundowner in the See Bar, by an extremely helpful Camilas. The breakfast was good and the swimming pool area was lovely. Also the view of the beach and walks in the cool of the evening were good. Location to other restaurants and shops was good.

Miinukset: The room was disappointing as it was too small for our liking.

Plussat: Rooms were pristine and the hotel facilities were amazing. Incredible views from our balcony and the pool. Staff were very friendly and attentive, especially Sanju at the bar who made us feel very welcome with great conversation.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The Bawa Room is very cozy and the Infinity Pool is amazing!

Miinukset: The location is a little out of the way, most Uber wouldn’t come to us.

Plussat: staff ,location ,pool room and architecture were awesome

Miinukset: the net curtain and bugs at restaurants

Plussat: Great location for Colombo, Ngombo and the airport All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bedrooms were very spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. The bedrooms were also very spacious with a lovely bath as well as a nice powerful shower and were very clean with nice smelling toiletries. The swimming pool was amazingly long and warm. I was particularly impressed by this eco and environmentally friendly ethos of the hotel particularly reducing the amount of plastic wasted unlike many of the other hotels we’ve stayed in. The food we had for lunch and breakfast was delicious.

Miinukset: Wished we could have stayed longer.

Plussat: Location great, rooms were big and nice, toilet excellent, nice beach view. They served us a nice chocolate cake for our welcome. Restaurant was lovely and the staff was lovely too. Breakfast had a good variety and the live stations were nice too. They have a lovely swimming pool, though we were not able to use it as we reached late and had to leave in the morning. Spa was nice and the staff lovely. The manager was very helpful. Would definetely visit next time to avail all the facilities.

Miinukset: The TV needs to have some more channels, esp. news channels

Plussat: Very friendly welcoming staff. The 100 meter pool!

Plussat: The pool was great and the views over the lagoon were lovely. There was a fantastic breakfast buffet and we liked having the opportunity of trying different Sri Lankan delicacies.

Miinukset: The property felt a little tired and in need of refreshing. Apart from the resort there is nothing for a tourist in the vicinity. And although you can see the airport on the other side of the lagoon, it takes longer to get there than from Jetwing Beach.

Plussat: Loved the landscaping in the space that allowed for peaceful afternoon walking and nature connection

Plussat: This is a great hotel designed by the one and only Geoffrey Bawa and is located 40 mins drive from the airport. The room is comfortable albeit slightly dog eared. The bathroom is huge and beautifully designed once again well done Geoff! Pictures don’t really do justice to the 100m pool. It was a delight to swim and float around in it. The breakfast offered is tasty and the view over the lagoon is stunning. We had an early flight to catch and watched a beautiful sunrise. This is a decent hotel but you only need to spend 1 night here either at the start or end of your Sri Lankan holiday.

Miinukset: If you are a light sleeper consider bringing earplugs, I was woken a few times from the sound of suitcases being wheeled across the cobbled path. Check out is slightly slow as the bellboy has to confirm what you have or haven’t taken from the minibar.

Plussat: Perfect place for a nights stay in Negombo. Very clean room, 15 minutes drive from the Airport (Pledge 3 provides complementary pick up from the Airport) and extremely friendly service. The pool is small but nice. Breakfast is remarkable. I can only recommend The Pledge3

Plussat: Interior, staffs , food

Miinukset: Bathroom was little bit water block shower area , otherwise everything is fine

Plussat: Great location, friendly helpful staff, good menu and great wine list.

Miinukset: Outdoor furniture needs to be fixed, otherwise great

Plussat: Clean, comfy bed, friendly staff

Miinukset: Nada

Plussat: Perfect location close to bars, restaurants and the beach and a nice pool area to relax in. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The breakfasts were great!

Miinukset: It's a shame there are no external windows apart from those facing the inside of the hotel but we didn't spend much time in the room so it didn't matter too much! Also the plugs seem to not be Sri Lankan or UK style which is common across Sri Lanka, however they were able to provide us with an adapter so it didn't affect us.

Plussat: Sunil was very hospitable, and knew a lot about the country and recent events. It was a pleasure to have met him and his team.

Plussat: Majoituksesta kyyti kentälle Ranta aktiviteetteineen lähellä Teemaillassa hyvää ruokaa ja rentouttava meno

Plussat: We came back to this same hotel to finish our trip around Sri Lanka, since the hotel is perfect! They were really glad to see us again and made sure our second stay was also great; they even arranged a private cooking lesson with the chef. Now we can make the best Dahl curry at Home!

Miinukset: -

Plussat: I like how it's simple and clean And their breakfast delicious and vary They serve more than your order I like the way they treat my son The staff are very kind and friendly

Plussat: Everything. Breakfast. Staff. Location. Room. It was so beautiful

Miinukset: Would have loved a pool. But totally understand there is no space. You should put one on the roof :-)

Plussat: Very helpful and friendly staff. Close to the airport. Close to the beach and restaurants.

Plussat: Clean, cozy, very friendly

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Ystävällinen ja auttava henkilökunta. Henkilölunta tilasi meille lähdettyämme taxin, jotta saisimme sen edulliseen hintaan.

Plussat: Very nice, helpfully staff, speaks excellent English. Nice garden for relax. Everything was very clean, towels for free. Very good breakfast. Checkin was 24 hours possible, also a late check out. Thanks for the nice stay, i hope we see us again :-)

Plussat: The family is really warm and welcoming. Great end to our stay in srilanka after a 14days family trip. Great conversation with Sanjay and Stephanie. Lovely people I would recommend staying here, breakfast is included too so that’s good value and easy when you’re just landing or leaving, don’t have to look for restaurants.

Miinukset: The first room they should us was stuffy and had low ceilings, I personally feel claustrophobic in such place. Without windows and natural light. But the one we were given after telling them I need something better we were offered a nicer room. So no complaints. It’s a good option for a night when you land in srilanka or you have to catch a return flight.

Plussat: Very friendly family, good breakfast (Toast, jam, butter, Tea/coffee, Dahl, Rice, Coconut sambal), Very nice garden, good for relaxion....Family speaks excellent English, very helpfully

Miinukset: On the map it looks like near the airpot, but the streetsystem is about 15 km away from airport

Plussat: Lovely staff. Clean rooms. Good breakfast

Plussat: Good staff

Miinukset: No Ac

Plussat: The owners where very professional and hospitable. It was really nice of them to offer us some free tea and the chap helped us out by giving us a ride to an ATM when there where no tuktuks avaible late at night. The room was stylish there was a nice seating area for breakfast. Thought that the lady who ran the place was very lovely.

Plussat: been close to the air port and the staff and the room

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Close to the airport Staff were lovely Breakfast was catered to my dietary needs Friendly and welcoming Arranged tuktuk to airport Excellent value for money

Miinukset: Sheets were itchy and smelt a bit dusty Lots of holes in the mosquito net so I was bitten a lot in the night by them No hot water in the shower Breakfast curry and rice was served cold

Plussat: Beautiful inside and a real little gem in the quiet streets just off Negombo beach. Open showers in bathroom is amazing :-) Gomez is a legend!!

Plussat: It’s just the great feeling of a home away from home of great personal nature here...will always be back when around...found good books in their traveler’s library !

Miinukset: ...be prepared that not everything you say in English will be well understood...but once the friendly staff did catch what you wanted everything will be arranged the next day accordingly

Plussat: Nothing more to add to the previous reviews. The place is very nice, the staff is friendly. Our room was very spacious and clean. We chose this place because it is gay-friendly. A rent boy might knock on your door but you can always say „no, thank you“.

Plussat: The pool

Miinukset: We supposedly booked a deluxe room. The room we were given were not REMOTELY what we booked. When we complained, the first guy told us that it was just different bedding but it clearly was a different room altogether. The second (presumably owner) told us that the pictures on the listing was just an example of what was available. We offered to take the room assigned to us at a lower rate as it was obviously not deluxe, but he said that Booking.com would not allow that. He then showed us the deluxe room, but said that someone else has also booked it, but he’ll move them to the cheaper room, and continued to say that the deluxe room is very noisy and we won’t have rest there! By then I was fed up and tired after traveling and being awake for nearly 30 hours and just took the cheaper room. There was work being done, and furniture were stacked over two meters high right at stair landing. The lights in the bathroom were dangling from insulation tape... This place is hardly worth one star. Not recommended at all. False advertising and bad service altogether - a complete embarrassment for Booking.com.

Plussat: The breakfast in the garden was great. The staff is extremely friendly. Mr. Gomez really tries to make his guests feel welcome.

Miinukset: The rooms could be cleaned a bit better. The bathroom was infested with ants.

Plussat: Gomez is on site and available, he assisted us with transfers to Sigiriya at a competitive rate and in a comfortable vehicle, also with airport transfer. The pool was a great feature, and our room was private and large.

Miinukset: Room was not the one pictured where we booked, not as nice as looked in pictures. Bathroom could do with some deep cleaning.

Plussat: Room, breakfast and service were great

Plussat: You arrive here as a stranger and leave again as a friend. Gomez and staff are excellent hosts.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The friendliness of the staff; location; large spacious room; staff’s suggestions on where to eat; fresh fruit at breakfast; presentation of the food; when there was an electricity outage the hotel had its own generator to keep the electricity going

Plussat: The breakfast in the garden was the highlight of the stay. Thank you for your hospitality.

Miinukset: I ordered food from the bar by the pool on my last day, it gave me the most horrific food poisoning. I had a lovely stay over the weekend, however wasn’t worth the trip to a hospital to be rehydrated and a 4 days in bed!

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and accommodating and the location was great. Right in the beach and close to the international airport. We opted for the breakfast included option and they did not disappoint. The buffet was great and staff were so lovely.

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. Food was great. Pool was good.

Miinukset: The bathroom was a little dated.

Plussat: What a fabulous hotel! It was the perfect start to my trip to Sri Lanka. It is a fairly short ride from the airport (was too tired to remember how long it took!) and I received a very warm welcome from the very friendly and helpful staff there when I arrived. I was able to check in early which was much appreciated. The bed was very comfy and the meals included (breakfast and dinner) were delicious. I loved the view from my balcony - it overlooked the pools and onto the beach. I was able to enjoy the facilities after check out time (again, much appreciated) and spent much of the day enjoying the pool area. I couldn’t fault the hotel and there isn’t anything they could do to improve my stay. Perfect place for one night before my organised group tour started.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Very good option for your the first and/or last nights in Sri Lanka. Nice pool with direct access to the beach.

Plussat: The pools. The breakfast. The beachside. The surroundings. Stay at the hotel after checkout.

Miinukset: Bad WiFi in the room. Room for 3 persons to small.

Plussat: The place is good and worth the money. We enjoy.a lot and also the kiddo. The morning food was very good. We live it..

Miinukset: But the buffet lunch is not worth the money. For the lunch we could go out.

Plussat: Sijainti on hyvä sekä aamiainen.

Miinukset: Huone oli karu ja hieman likainen. Henkilökunta oli ihan pihalla. Auttavaisuus nollassa, naureskelivat vain keskenään.

Plussat: Kaunis piha

Miinukset: Ruoka

Plussat: the hotel was great as was the staff, I really enjoyed my stay at Camelot

Plussat: Friendly staff from check out to restaurant and especially pool attendants who go out of their way to make everything comfortable for you outside. Breakfast staff very attentive and friendly, almost too much.

Miinukset: We loved everything

Plussat: This is the 3rd time Visiting Camelot, the Stay was fantastic all the times,The Staff was super super friendly, always with a smile willing to help always, the Lunch dinner and breakfast all were yummy, the Room was in Pristine Condition its as new as you see in the pictures, Really worth the Price, will visit soon again cheers keep up the good work:-)

Plussat: Very good

Miinukset: The surprise birthday cake had ants on it

Plussat: They were amazing. An incredible upgrade for my birthday and loads of little gestures and help for travel that really made the difference

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: nice place this is my 2nd time to suriya

Plussat: The pool is one of the best I’ve had at a resort. The size of it meant it stayed a little cooler most of the day. Also the stay were extremely helpful

Miinukset: Everything was good

Plussat: We liked the atmosphere and the pool area , the staff were so nice , food was lovely , everything was clean. The jacuzzi was amazingggggggggggggggggg.

Miinukset: No Wi-Fi in in the room. Taxes were added to everything. The restaurant has the doors open at all times which allows flies to go around the food at the buffet and there was no AC in the restaurant.

Plussat: A nice smallish hotel. Decent rooms with good size balcony and nice views. Staff are sweet and gentle but service a bit slow at times. Only one dining option, buffet style mealtimes , food ok but not outstanding. Would choose a la carte rather than half board next time. Alcohol prices high as expected in hotels but Diet Coke was exceptionally expensive!

Miinukset: The hotel offers day passes to walk in guests and as we were there over a bank holiday, there were a lot of visiting families. This made the pool area crowded, noisy and at times, uncomfortable as some of the visitors stared at us and sat uncomfortably close. In light of the recent tragedies, would hope that there will be some security put in place. There are an excessive amount of large crows that frequent the garden and pool areas. The pool attendant dealt with the problem by letting off firecrackers to scare them away. Rather a shock when not expecting a loud explosion of sound! It didn’t work either as they were straight back after 10 minutes!

Plussat: Beautiful hotel and lovely beach unfortunately the red flag was out during our stay. Friendly staff. Lovely room. Big pool.

Miinukset: Please teach the technical staff to do their duties according to class hotel...very poor technical staff only stay one night no electricity .

Plussat: Great location and really friendly staff along with variety of tasty food!

Miinukset: The toiletries were in glass bottles which is a little unsafe especially as the shower holders were at an angle which causes them to slip and crack.

Plussat: Staff were extremely helpful - could not do enough for us. Lovely setting - pleasant pool area. Hotel is a little out of town - but easy to walk or tuk tuk

Plussat: Very comfortable, spacious room, large king bed and beautiful bathroom. Swimming pool was lovely to cool off.it was in a very quiet neighbourhood, so very peaceful I the garden and around the pool. The staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful with everything we asked. The breakfasts are fantastic, especially the Sri Lankan option.great tuk tuk driver too, drives safely . Many thanks for a wonderful few days.

Miinukset: No flyscreen on bathroom window. The blind inside did no go to the floor so at night the light would come through the bottom . A minor problem

Plussat: Beautiful room, swimming pool and very friendly staff.

Miinukset: No free shuttle to and from the airport. We had to use Pickme app to get the airport and Uber to arrive to this hotel.

Plussat: We had a very enjoyable stay at Tranquil Negombo. We arrived at 3am and the staff were very accommodating to our needs and met every request. The room was spacious and clean. It was a great location and we would recommend. The staff in particular were very pleasant.

Plussat: Comfortable bed, very clean and spacious bathroom. Super delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, close to the airport.

Plussat: Pieni viihtyisä paikka keskellä asuinaluetta ja siksi siinä on myös rauhallinen ympäristö. Erinomainen henkilökohtainen palvelu. Sijainti erityisesti kun tulet tai lähdet lentokentälle. Allasalue mukava. Ei erityistä lastenallasta.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: It was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! Beautifully rooms. Close enough to airport for convenience without being able to hear planes every few minutes. I felt very safe in Sri Lanka.

Plussat: great personnel despite very bad situation (bombing)

Plussat: The kind staff welcomed us with a drink when we arrived. The room was big and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Very delicate bathroom with big shower and bathtub. Had a nice balcony with good chairs connected to the room and a view over the garden with the pool. We had a delicious traditional Sri Lankan breakfast and fresh juice the next morning. Staff will help you with scooter rental and give you tips for your vacation in Sri Lanka!

Plussat: My husband and I stayed at Tranquil Negombo for 3 nights at the start of our trip to Sri Lanka. We wanted the chance to recharge and relax for a few days before exploring more of the country. We couldn’t have asked for more from the staff or facilities here. Roy and the rest of the staff were so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We arrived very tired from travelling and they prepared a gorgeous meal for us - a feast of different Sri Lankan curries and sides. With tastes that we’d never experienced before! They offered us Sri Lankan breakfast for the following morning and after what we had just had we couldn’t say no! Breakfast each morning was delicious, we had Sri Lankan twice and pancakes/English breakfast once. The dahl is to die for!! On our last night Roy knocked on our door and presented my husband with a fish - he wanted to know if we wanted sea bass for dinner... of course we did! Roy cooked the fish to perfection and we eat every last bite! They say it’s the little things that make a difference - on our last morning they included mango on the breakfast fruit platter. I told one of the ladies mango was my favourite and just a few moments later Roy arrived at the table with a plate full! Our room was big, with beautiful high ceilings, a fridge, hairdryer, kettle (with tea and coffee), mosquito net, safe and air con that worked great - it was needed!! The bathroom had a big walk in shower as well as a jacuzzi bath. Towels and toiletries are provided in the room. The pool area was very relaxing and the sun beds were comfy. The staff brought us a towel on the two occasions we used the pool. We planned our trip before the events that shattered the country at Easter and made the decision to still go. It saddened us to see the guesthouse and the area on the whole so quiet - the people are so lovely and they need the business.

Plussat: Viihtyisä pieni hotelli.Palvelu hyvää samoin ruoka .Hinta-laatusuhde loistava.

Plussat: The property was a little further out of Colombo and from airport which made us feel safe. It was in a nice and quiet area. We did not arrive until midnight but were still greeted warmly and with juice. We had a very comfortable stay with a very spacious room and bathroom which was exceptionally clean. Staff helped us the following morning to organise cheap transfer.

Miinukset: There was no hot water but that didn’t matter as it was so humid that a cool shower was very refreshing!!

Plussat: I had an amazing stay. A much needed relaxation..all staffs are very accommodating and helpful. Food are all delish

Miinukset: Nothin I can think..all are excellent

Plussat: Wonderful staff - excellent treatments and food - generosity of spirit and went above and beyond in helpfulness

Miinukset: Not their fault but the humidity

Miinukset: The program was non existent and the yoga was a joke!

Plussat: It was an amazing experience since we arrived the first day.Its my 3rd time I been going and every time it's better ,they are very attentive off your needs making sure you are comfortable and enjoying your stay .The service is 100% from the reception deck ,waitress ,chef ,The food was delicious, Cleaners,yoga teacher ,and the massage Wow 112%unbelievable ,the doctors where very good ,and everything is every clean and well look after.I which I could have stayed longer . I don't get any commition for what I have wrote

Plussat: The treatments and how serious this is been taken

Miinukset: The room was rather small

Plussat: excellent treatments & food - just needs mediation to complete the cycle with the body

Plussat: Dr.Dinesh is amazing. It’s worth to stay here just because of it. The queen pavilion room was spacious and great. The foods in the restaurant were always creative and delicious yet very healthy.

Miinukset: The classic room which we booked initially were too small. That’s not pleasant to stay for long term if we take Ayurveda treatment package.

Plussat: Such a pleasure to enjoy truly committed management of a hotel. I didn’t realise the history behind the chain and the long term vision of sustainability and professionalism before I booked my stay, it feels natural, genuine and rock solid. This a real gem in Negombo and got me curious to stay longer at a Ayurveda resort

Plussat: We didn't know what to expect with the treatments but we loved it! Basically a 2hour full body massage - so really good value in that sense! The staff were pretty attentive. Room was spacious and comfortable. Love that the lunch goes on until 4pm (although we missed it for our treatments).

Miinukset: The airport drop off was pretty expensive - and at the hotel's advice we went earlier to the airport but don't think that we needed to really. The robes were quite small but we just asked for bigger ones and they were fine (although still tight!). We were a little rushed into our treatments like 5mins after being shown the room.

Plussat: A serene paradise tucked away from bustling Negombo. Amazing setting, amazing facilities, amazing food and probably the best massage I’ve ever had.

Miinukset: Nothing, it was wonderful

Plussat: The Blue Water was very clean and well appointed. The free breakfast is cooked to order and excellent . I definitely recommend this hotel . A very good value.

Plussat: Disappointed

Miinukset: This is not a boutique hotel but Purley a bed and breakfast, when Questioned the manager regarding the boutique status he replied, since there was a roof top garden (which was badly maintained and to a poor standard in our opinion)They advertise a shuttle service to the airport, all they did was call for a cab at our expense rps 3,500 £15.00 for 20 mins trip, in addition the driver had no change costing us even more.

Plussat: Location was central. Friendly staff.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Service

Plussat: Good size rooms

Miinukset: The attitude of the staff was poor, at times very rude/intimidating Toilet would take over 1 minute to flush with your finger holding the flush- offered another room but the toilet there did the same The pool that you are allowed to use is very dirty, if you want to use a pool during your stay, check the reviews of paradise beach resort

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly the breakfast ladies.

Miinukset: The room was quite small but adequate.

Plussat: We stayed at this hotel for three nights prior to getting our flight home. The hotel is very well located, on the Main Street with all the hotels and restaurants. The staff we quiet, and largely left you to get on with things. We loved the access to the next door hotel's beach and pool - definitely a perk. The rooms are nice, but are wearing a bit. The flush on the toilet was problematic, and the towels very thin/ old-looking. We didn't have breakfast as was rather over-priced so cannot comment on that aspect. The roof terrace is nice, and worth spending a couple of hours up there.

Plussat: Basic clean room, good for one night stay before heading to airport.

Miinukset: We had to leave early (6.30 am) and they couldn't offer us breakfast before that, not even as a take away. We also had to pay for the room when we checked in (didn't happen anywhere else during the trip) and they checked the room before we left, which was quite unusual, too.

Plussat: Our breakfast was brought to our apartment each morning, served hot. It was delicious! Plenty of lovely restaurants and cafes right on our doorstep. Lovely place to spend a few days relaxing.

Miinukset: Nothing really. You have to use the pool in the hotel next door but this was no problem at all as it was a 10 metre walk and the pool was lovely!

Plussat: Beach

Plussat: Good place to get started in Sri Lanka. Very friendly crew.

Miinukset: Construction next to the hotel pool.

Plussat: The pool was very clean and perfect for relaxing around with drinks offered by staff an added bonus, pool attendant did an outstanding job with towels etc. Breakfast and dining excellent lovely restaurant, very good service. Friendly staff throughout hotel.

Miinukset: We could not swim in the ocean due to weather, not property’s fault. White wine varieties could be improved for ordering with dinner.

Plussat: I used the restaurant facility and it wasn’t good at all

Miinukset: They requested for double charge and extras charges for everything you are trying to use

Plussat: Friendly staff good food right on the beach

Miinukset: Building work going on which was quite noisy at times but should improve the hotel when finished.

Plussat: I like their service , they have very friendly staff

Miinukset: I would like to request more meal items to their buffet

Plussat: Reception area was nice and staff were welcoming, very friendly service. Breakfast was lovely with lots of variety.

Miinukset: The bed was wayyyyy too hard. Room was not clean when we arrived. Had to ask for our room to be cleaned the following day as it still hadn't been attended to at 3pm.

Plussat: Hotel location and some staffs are v good some are not good,

Miinukset: Comfort

Plussat: The housekeeping staff and restaurant staff were very friendly and committed, especially Miss Ruwen.

Miinukset: The reception ladies were not very friendly. Internet was down, we have to report twice to get it back. The food quality were poor too. The hotel was under renovation when we were there, they could have mentioned it to us prior to our booking confirmation. It was noisy and the ocean view from the pool was blocked.

Plussat: Good location, direct access to the beach and close to the airport

Miinukset: Breakfast could be better. The least good breakfast of our holiday

Plussat: Friendly and professional staff

Plussat: the Room

Miinukset: The pricing. They charged me $60 for an early check-in. Note, my room with breakfast cost me $58. The costs for an early check-in are not given on their booking.com profile. But to compensate, they gave me a free lunch

Plussat: i love the beach in the evening,

Plussat: Breakfast menu was excellent and it was really tasty. Beach was quite isolated and rough. Since there is a fishing village close by, it is not that safe to walk around.

Miinukset: Rooms are not very attractive. TV was not working and they took one day to fix it. Telephone is also noisy because of some issue. Floors were not cleaned properly, it has salt stains There were mosquitoes in the room Pool was not attractive

Plussat: Very nice hotel and nice staff ,, never to forget these 2days on my all live

Plussat: Location, friendly staff and service

Miinukset: Furniture in the room seems aged.

Plussat: Room straight onto the beach

Miinukset: Plastic on the beach as soon as you walked a few steps away from hotel

Plussat: Everything about this hotel was beautiful.

Miinukset: The hotel is quite far out from Negombo center

Plussat: Good value for money and overall experience was satisfactory.

Plussat: Almost every thing

Miinukset: Nothing, everything perfect
