It was a dream to stay in such a beautiful, meditative, artistic home! Priyantha and the staff were lovely, breakfast was amazing, I really hope to get back one day. Wonderful place, especially if you're a writer or creative, very inspiring.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay! Excellent location for those who are looking for a more peaceful stay in hectic Colombo. Lovely neighbourhood, very walkable, with lots of great restaurants and cafes very close by. The villa is beautiful and very comfortable. Very spacious room, new bathroom and the bed was comfy. The owner is very nice and we enjoyed talking with him at night. We will definitely come back next time we are in Colombo.

The accommodation was in a central location having access to one of the best commute in colombo. But more over the couple headed by a beautiful gentleman Benjamin made us feel right at home. He had always been standby looking for what we need and fulfill them. They raised the bar of true hospitality and services. If you're looking for a comfortable, reliable, safe, super clean and value for money place to stay, This is the place for you. It may not have the best amminities, but they proved by doing the basics right you can have a nice peaceful and comfortable stay.
