Very large room with kitchenette and bathroom, huge flat screen smart TV and A/C. The entire floor has a series of similar flats opening to terrace and landing with microwave, ironing board and laundry lines. Very convenient location near Maharagama centre near the Colombo-Batticaloa highway and at a few minutes from Kotte and Polwatta. The host is fully proficient in accommodating all nationalities and provides a plethora of amenities for either cooking, cleaning, or refreshments. He also was assisting to further my trip in the most budget friendly and efficient manner. All of it for an unbeatable value for money rate.

Such a great place! Madu, the host, is an extremely friendly lady who made me feel like home. Her care and service is beyond amazing. Make sure to try her Dahl as this was one of the best I had in 2 months traveling through SL. The room was clean and comfortable. If I come back to Colombo one day I would stay here again

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!

It’s like a homestay. Had to wait 10m Infront of it, but then we had no further issues. Had the best showers in Sri Lanka over there. A lot of pressure ;) It’s a little bit ghostly in this house which is kinda some shared living space, but we basically had the house for us. There was a kitchen in the basement too.
