The owner is very helpful. He went extra mile on everything to guide me on where to travel and helped me to explore around the city. Also, the room is very big and the bathroom is very beautiful with a local touch. Overall, the place is very green, neat and quite.

It was a magical stay, we only stayed one night when we'd just landed in SL and it was so stunning, comfortable, the most peaceful stay amongst the hustle and bustle of Colombo. Perfect for what we were after. The owners were super lovely and made us a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning before we headed south. Such a gorgeous accommodation and the room was big, peaceful, quiet and a great shower!

I stayed here for one night with a local family. I arrived very late, around 2 a.m., but the owner was waiting for me, welcomed me warmly, and helped me settle in, which I really appreciated. The room was spacious, clean, and cozy. Even though I stayed only one night and left early in the morning, I felt very comfortable. I would especially like to mention the kindness and helpfulness of the family who own this place. They are very friendly people and make you feel welcome and at home. Highly recommended if you want to stay with a local family and experience true Sri Lankan hospitality.

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)
