This is the perfect place to relax before departure or after arrival. Cozy new house, big clean rooms, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. There is even a safe for storing valuables. There were no problems with hot water, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. We could cook full dinners. Hospitable hosts care about the comfort of each guest. Shops and restaurants are around the corner, there are supermarkets at the bus station. Special thanks to the family for the friendly welcome and gifts! We recommend d marit Motel to anyone staying in Negombo for a short or long time.

We stayed here after arriving in Colombo. The guesthouse is close to the airport and we also took advantage of the airport shuttle. The hosts welcomed us very warmly and cordially and had prepared a delicious dinner for us (after prior arrangement). The rooms were very clean and comfortable, well chilled before our arrival. The next day we also had a wonderful, delicious and rich breakfast. We are extremely satisfied with our stay and would stay here again the next time we come to Sri Lanka.

My partner and I had the best stay at Star Canal Cottage. After receiving a great tuk tuk tour around Negombo from Leon at the start of our trip, we stayed at his guesthouse before our departure too due to his friendliness and consideration. Our room very clean, spacious and light, with a powerful hot shower in the bathroom. The location is great, close to the city centre with restaurants nearby, but down a quiet canal road to enjoy the peace. We read and listened to the birds on the terrace during the day, while drinking home made lime juice before an excellent dinner of home-made prawns from Leon. A wonderfully kind, funny, and diligent host (and now friend), we will recommend Star Canal Cottage to anyone wishing to visit Sri Lanka :)

Deb amd Joseph were from beginning super Hosts and helped us a lot during our last day stay in Sri Lanka. We arrived late at night and were received and taken to the homestay in a confort way. Once arrived, Deb welcomed us with a tea and coffee. I liked a lot also playing with the dog, so cute! The room was spacious and had a big shower with amenities. The day after we enjoyed a great homemade breakfast and went to the brown beach. There was being celebrated a food festival with free entrance. It was lovely meeting local people! Because of our late flight we could do late check out. We appreciated it a lot. The day was very hot and could swim ans chill out in the garden. I think that is the best place to stay in Negombo and can reccommend 100%. Thanks Deb and all thr best from Berlin.

For me, the Marcelin family villa was by far the best accommodation during my 4 week trip in Sri Lanka ! The price-performance is unbeatable! The owner Roy is an excellent host he is amazing, and his wife makes the best delicious breakfast I have seen in Sri Lanka. Everything really everything there is spotlessly clean I felt like at home there. Usually I never write reviews, but this accommodation is simply the best! Don't miss it !

We stayed at the hotel for three days. We liked everything. The location is not far from the airport. It is nice and quiet. There is hot water and good wifi. The host is very nice and helpful, he answered all our questions very quickly and helped us to find the transport for our further trip. The breakfast was different every day and delicious. And the location is very good for birdwatching - we saw many birds around, even from the terrace of the hotel, which is very cosy and it is nice to spend time there during the hot midday hours.

They are a fantastic host family. 🫶🏽 It is a tranquil neighborhood off the main road but close enough for a leisurely walk. I highly recommend it for a short or long stay. It is a very clean and comfortable environment.

Although I booked a room without A/C I could take an A/C room with little add on price. The owners are very nice and helpful. The location is next to the beach and to a dive base with restaurant. The owner's daughter runs a scooter and bicycle rental and I rented a good quality bicycle for a fair price. Also they provide pick up and drop off service to the airport. A super breakfast restaurant with prices for locals is available in short walking distance. Highly recommended homestay.

This has been a wonderful start to our Sri Lanka journey, we loved everything about this guesthouse. The beautiful garden, the clean and comfortable rooms, the lovely host Keneth and the tasty dinner and breakfast. We also had the opportunity to use the bicycles free off charge to get lunch and get some impressions of Negombo, met some nice people on the way. Luckily we will be back to spend the last day of our trip at this wonderful homestay, already looking forward to it.
