Luxury Beachfront Villa with Private Pool & Views
We booked 'A place' for a group of 6. The place was exactly as seen in pictures. 'Dilan' - the host was always available for questions. He gave us a good tour and encouraged to use all the amenities. The home caretaker 'Anusha' was on the property 24*7 and available to assist in the group activities and daily chores. We were also introduced to a local guide 'Champika' who virtually got everything done for us. Since, we didn't speak Singalese, Dilan and Champika made sure all our needs were taken care of. Over all: - Great place and Stay - Friendly and helpful Host - Excellent care taker and his availability - Very reliable and trustworthy people - No hidden charges or trying to squeez extra It was a wonderful experience over all. I highly recommend this place for a Professional meeting, Family or friends get together. Nice and Quite with access to the beach right there!! And most importantly - 'Friendly, trustworthy and reliabile' people for a stay in a foreign country!!!

Apartment in Colombo: Cozy Two Bedroom Apartment
A very "cozy" apartment indeed: it suited our family of 3 adults perfectly. Amazing views & ambience. The apartment is located in a very central part of Colombo with easy access to many eateries, hotels & shopping outlets. There is a supermarket directly opposite the apartment building, which was extremely convenient. The apartment building had excellent security staff, who were so very kind & obliging, a BIG THANK YOU to them for helping us with all our luggage & shopping bags at varied intervals & also helping us safely navigate the many cabbies we travelled with.😀 The owner of the apartment was flexible with check-in & check-out times which was so helpful. He even met us at the apartment when we checked in way early in the morning. Disappointingly the wifi in the apartment was very unreliable. All other appliances including the washing machine & hot water system worked fine though, no problems. A fantastic holiday stay all in all! 🌸

SAMUDRA HOUSE by the beach
Great location, and more than I expected. We had a great time and the host was really good at checking in on us and making the whole trip smooth. He taught how to turn on the POOL JACUZZI!! It was amazing! The bed sheets and towels were brand new or felt new! The space was spotless. We walked right across to the beach and had some amazing food! Surprise is mentioned the hosts name and you get some great service. Everyone seems to know him! The backyard is really quiet and you can have a lovely drink in the Gazebo overlooking the pool. This was a great find! I would recommend this for single and family visitors! Sri Lanka is amazing and the host is a true island hospitality king! We felt safe in the house and the neighborhood. Great WiFi and fully stocked kitchen! Bathrooms were spotless and great shower pressure. We loved it all and wished we stayed longer.

Charming Retreat with Pool in Maharagama, Colombo
We had a good stay at this property. It was fully-equipped and had all the convenience. Communication was good too.

Negombo Morawala Beach Villa
We arrived in Columbo Airport just before 3am, technically the day after our booking started. The host had been great in the lead-up, checking in regularly and reassuring us everything was sorted, and he even came to the airport to pick us up himself. The drive was relatively short but lively. Even at that hour, the streets were buzzing with people, bikes, tuk-tuks, and market stalls. It was a bit of an eye opener after a long flight. As we turned down dark, bumpy backroads, we were a little unsure, especially with a young child. Once we passed through the iron gate and saw the garden and pool, we still wasnt sold, but as soon as the front door opened, we relaxed. The house was spotless, spacious, and exactly as described. I woke early and opened the curtains to palm trees and the pool, a total contrast to the hustle outside. The host came by in the morning to clean the pool and arranged a tuk-tuk to take us shopping. Highly recommend hideaway right next to a buzzing local area.

Dove Cottage - villa with pool
Anouk and Sunil’s place is in a quiet neighborhood. Both of them are extremely helpful and private and respect your space too. The house is done up beautifully and is safe and secure. We loved the place and will come back again for sure!

A Home away from Home
“A home away from home” just as described. Felt right at home as soon as we stepped in. We have always had 2nd thoughts about booking air bnbs after so many horror stories. This was our first experience and think we nailed it. The photos matched the accommodation, the host Isuru was very friendly, responsive and proactive and it was so easy to communicate with him if we had any issues. The house was spotless and was warm and welcoming. Everything was exactly as described and we had an amazing and a peaceful stay at this beautiful home. Would recommend to anyone and will always be our number 1 place to stay when we are back :)

Four bedroom house with free parking in Nawala.
Chinthake was super responsive and always really helpful. He was extremely accommodating and I had lots of little requests. The place felt like home and we really enjoyed our stay. The housekeeper - Thilakaratne was super friendly and helpful too. Gotta give it to him and Chinthake for being so accommodating. We’ll definitely stay next year as well 😊

Villa Tranquility
So glad my friends and I found a home away from home in Ja-ela. Stayed 8 days here. Angela was an amazing host. Location wise, it’s a small town so everything is accessible. Only a 15 minute drive from airport. Supermarket & convenience stores just 10 min ride away/20min walk. However, since the area is residential it’s very quiet and peaceful, some Uber drivers are not familiar with it so they would call first to confirm the location. Get familiar with the area so you can give directions to them. Overall it was clean, especially the toilet and bedrooms which is most important for me. 4 of us shared 2 beds. The living room & dining area are bigger than in the photos! Wifi was fast. Best part of it was that the host stayed right next to the villa, so she was available for anything we needed like gas for the stove or other supplies we needed. Was also very easy to communicate with her by text for help or recommendations. Planning to come back here in my next trip to Ja-ela.

GEDARA Villa - My home in Sri Lanka
Dear Chandana and Aruni, I had the pleasure of staying at Gedaravilla for over five months, and it has truly been an exceptional experience. From the very beginning, Chandana and Aruni were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and attentive to every detail. The space was exactly as described, and it quickly became a comfortable and homey retreat. I appreciated how they maintained a clean and well-equipped environment, with thoughtful touches that made the stay even more enjoyable. Whenever I had questions or needed assistance, they were quick to respond and always went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The location was perfect for my needs, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for an extended period. It truly made my time away from home feel like a wonderful, stress-free experience. Thank you again for everything! 😎✌️

Peterson Crescent - 3 Bedroom Suite
Enjoyed the stay..very quiet once inside the house. Flet like home with ample space to walk around.

Accommodation in the heart of Wellwatha- A/C Room
We booked Andy’s property for a colleague visiting from overseas, and she had a wonderful stay. The home was safe, comfortable, and she absolutely loved it. Andy was incredibly helpful and responsive to anything we needed, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Negombo Villa near Beach/Airport - Sleeps 10
We had a wonderful stay at Eranga's. The place is beautiful and is serene. His staff Mr Chandana is super friendly and helpful. We reached at 2300h from airport and he was there to help us move our luggage and settle down for the night. He also provided a delicious breakfast. We would love to come back and stay here. Very close to Airport and easily reachable. Strongly recommended for all

"De Fonseka Cottage" by Swarg Properties
Very cozy place and responsive host 👍❤️

Feel your own home close to Nature
A Soulful Sanctuary in Sri Lanka Wasana’s home is not just a stay it’s an experience steeped in warmth, elegance, and emotion. The architecture is nothing short of stunning, with every corner crafted with love and intention. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this house was built not just with bricks, but with heart and heritage. We slept soundly each night wrapped in soft, organic cotton blankets and resting on cloud-like pillows, surrounded by tranquility and nature. The home is a perfect blend of modern comfort and vintage charm: an open kitchen that inspires, a magnificent dining table that seats eight in style, cozy tree-lined roads, and a calming private aquarium that adds a serene rhythm to the space. Located near Diyatha Uyana, the new Parliament, and just steps from Keells supermarket, the location is convenient yet incredibly peaceful. The lush greenery around the property feels like a private retreat. Wasana herself is a gracious host attentive, kind, of magic ✨

Home in Colombo, Sri Lanka - Shaa Haven
We had a wonderful three night stay at Hemashanthi Latha’s place. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Hemashanthi and her daughter greeted us with warm smiles and a refreshing king coconut, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming gesture. The house was exactly as described. superb, spotlessly clean, and incredibly peaceful. It felt more like a home than just a place to stay. The surroundings were private and serene, making it a perfect escape within the city. All the facilities in the house were well maintained and convenient. We especially appreciated the ample parking space and the ease of coming and going at any hour without any issues. A special mention goes to their lovely dog, who added an extra layer of warmth to our stay. Such a friendly and beautiful furry companion. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, homely spot in the city with a truly great host. Thank you, Hemashanthi, for making our stay so memorable.

Teal Villa
This house is in an excellent location of Colombo. It’s closely to many good restaurants and cafes. The house is very cosy and can be enjoyed by both families and business people alike. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Happy Villa
Second time staying here coz it’s the best place in Colombo. Feels like home, fully equipped kitchen. No traffic noise and just peaceful, but still so close to everything 10mins walk away

Entire House in Colombo 4, Sri Lanka.
I can't recommend this Airbnb highly enough! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The house was incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, well decorated, and very comfortable. It had a welcoming, tradition feel – exactly what you want when staying in a new city. The location is perfect – central, safe, and close to everything. Whether you're looking to explore Colombo’s cultural sites, enjoy local restaurants, or just relax, this place puts you in the perfect spot. The host was fantastic – super responsive, friendly, and she went above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay. Bonus points for the fast Wi-Fi, great water pressure in the shower, comfy bed, and fully equipped kitchen - it felt like a home away from home. If you're thinking about booking, do it - this place is a rare find and an incredible value. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in Colombo!

Villa Mangosteen - Malabe, Sri Lanka
My family and I spent a few days at this stunning place. The property is larger and more beautiful than the pictures suggest. We were blown away! I was occupied with bird watching in the morning and afternoon. The view is amazing and the garden is beautiful. The place is perfectly located if you are looking for a peaceful place that feels remote in Colombo. You can get Tuks or taxis to get you to Galle Face or other parts of Colombo. If you are looking to stay in Malabe or Battaramulla - this is unbeatable. We enjoyed the proximity to my wife’s family. We wish we found this place earlier and will very happily recommend it to our friends and stay there again in the future. Thank you, Kaushi, for an unforgettable stay!
