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.

It’s a wonderful house. I didn’t realize it was a home stay, but was very grateful it was for my list night in Sri Lanka. When I walked in, music was playing and the water sounds coming from the indoor garden’s pond immediately made me feel like I had stepped out of the busy city and into an oasis. Relaxing house with lots of nooks and crannies, areas to curl up and read a book. I wish I had spent another night.

This is a wonderful homestay. You get your private room with bathroom and balcony. Kitchen and living room is shared with the owners which are very friendly and helpful. All is with nice furniture and very clean. The apartment is at the 4th floor of 11 and on the rooftop you can enjoy a pool and gym and wonderful view all over Colombo. Highly recommended.

Uncle Ben and his wife made us feel very welcome in their homestay which is nicely located in the quiet, yet still lively neighbourhood of Bambalapitiya. The room and bathroom were clean and we were served a very tasty and rich sri lankan breakfast. We would definitely recommend Visakha 6 for a decent stay in Colombo!

Me and my fiancé spent 2 nights at Orchid villa. The room was very clean. The hosts were kind and helpful. They gave us good recommendations for restaurant and we loved it so much that we kept going to the same restaurant for dinner, lunch and breakfast. Location is little bit further from tourist places what gives you a chance to connect with locals and enjoy real Sri Lanka.
