We got a very warm welcome from the amazing staff of Sayura House on our first day in Sri Lanka. Great location, isolated from the noise of the nearby busy streets. The place is beautiful with trees, birds and squirrels. Everything is very clean. They are also very enviroment friendly, there are no plastic in the hotel at all. Also recommending their restaurant. Poke65 has delicious foods. Thank you for having us!

Everything from start to finish. Sampath is just an EXCEPTIONAL host! He welcomed us, offered tea/coffee/snacks, gave us plenty of tips and ideas about what to do in the area. Personally took us to some places. The Eco Lodge is kept extremely nice and clean. Very comfortable beds and all facilities. Also, Sampath's wife is an amazing cook. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious and our wishes were totally taken into account. They also have a super cute dog and cat. Just... Book this place, it's amazing!

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.

I had a wonderful stay here and will return if I have the opportunity. Benjamin is an extraordinary host and manager who offered travel advice, cooked the most amazing breakfasts, and made you feel right at home. The room was really cute and comfortable with a rain shower in the bathroom and good water pressure. I also liked the area where you could make a coffee. 10/10 and great value.

The owners are wonderful - we came in the middle of night and we're leaving as well very early morning but we had our breakfast done on time. It's really enormous to eat and taste each dish. My daughters loved chandelier in patio where bird made its nest and it was taking care of small birds. Although it's a little out of city centrum but it gives silence and possibility to rest in patio to observe animals as birds and squirrels coming for eating. The room is spacious with attached bathroom. Very close to Leisure Villa there is good restaurant - Tango to eat supper or lunch.
