You don't have to be a fan of the late and great Geoffrey Bawa to be enchanted by your stay at Home Number 11. It is a working museum to say the least. From the design to the art collection on every corner, the historical significance of the place is invaluable. Now if you happen to be a fan of the architect, then there is no greater privilege than staying at his home.

I loved staying at this beautiful, proud, authentic and uncompromising Sri Lankan family home come hotel, finished as it was to the highest of standards and so very tastefully decorated, all risen up from the once lakeside bank. I was greeted by my courteous hosts on arrival, respectful of my long journey from the UK, and made to feel welcomed and comfortable right away. My accommodation was as described and expected; it was immaculate (cleaned twice during my stay of three nights) and more than adequate for my needs. The food was delicious; although breakfast was lovely, my evening meals have been the best I have had here so far, being especially well cooked and prepared, further enhancing my first-time-in-Sri Lanka experience. The hosts arranged local tuc tucs and drivers for me, usually at short notice, and we're always keen to help out, particularly with timings on my leaving day. I said that if I came to Sri Lanka again I would stay here again and I meant it. Thank you all for the quality of all of your services and your thoughtfulness throughout my stay.

Had a great experience at Sayura House. Nice and clean environment in a busy area. Manager Gamini and his staff are most friendly and helpful. My wife and i spent one night here. We will definitely be coming back again for a few nights. Make sure to scan the restaurant's QR and have a nice meal. (Poké 65)

My daughter had a very pleasant one-night stay at this property. The environment was calm and peaceful, with a beautiful paddy field view that made the stay very relaxing. She was very happy to be their first guest. The room was clean and well maintained, and having an attached bathroom added extra comfort and privacy. The space felt safe, quiet, and suitable for a comfortable overnight stay. As this is a girls-only accommodation, it provides a strong sense of privacy and security for female guests, which makes the stay even more comfortable and reassuring. The host was friendly and helpful, and the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, it was good value for money, especially for a short stay in the Malabe area. She also believes that reservations like this are helpful in supporting and encouraging small property owners, and she is happy to contribute in that way. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, secure, and comfortable stay, and my daughter would consider staying here again in the future.

First of all, a huge thanks to Mr. Joseph for his warm welcome, his help and his kindness. I am sleeping 120 nights per year in hotels and I have to say it is very rare to have such high quality even in 5 stars hotels I will come back here on my way back. Room is already booked.

We had an amazing stay here. The hosts, Sam and Steph, are the most kind, welcoming people you could meet. The staff are very helpful, nothing was a problem for them. The Sri Lankan omelette for breakfast was the best I'd had in the three weeks of travelling the country. Mount Bay Guest House rooms have all that you would expect at more expensive hotels. All the boxes are ticked. A very comfortable stay.

Breakfast was fabulous. Room was spotlessly clean and the wi-fi worked perfectly. It's quite far from the city centre, but you get there quickly and cheap with a tuc tuc.
