    Nothing, it was great

    The host was the most wonderfull guy you could wish for. He did everything to make the stay, which we had with 3 little children (0, 3 and 4 years old) to the best experience. The villa is clean and beautiful. Wish we could stay longer. It was better than expected by looking at the pictures. Also: the shower was great, better than most others with good pressure.

    Perfect villa close to the airport. I arrived at 22PM and they offered a pick up for $3. Clean room, helpful staff and just everything I needed.

    Amazing location, clean and big room. FYI: before booking check if they still offer the free shuttle to the airport, I think that now it’s not free anymore

    Would be nice to have some clothes hangers.

    This is a perfect location if you arrive late at night. Colombo City center is >30 min away. The host will dispatch a driver to pick you up with a very reasonable fee, even in the wee hour. The entire property is very clean. The room is somewhat small but the bathroom is very big. The host maintains a good communications with guest

    While everything looked clean, it was not as clean as in my previous accommodations. Also, only a very limited number of restaurants could be found in the neighbourhood. Moreover, under my window, there was a festivity going on. It didn't keep me out of my sleep, but it was pretty loud.

    It's a very convenient stay for an early morning airport transfer or a late evening. The bedroom is well equipped, too, with A/C and a nice hot water shower.

    Great hosts. So cozy. Exactly what you need after a long flight, or before traveling. Convinient and very close to the airport, which always give me peace of mind. Since I traveled many times to Srilanka, that's the best place near the airport.

    overall great experience. only here for one night, they offer airport pick up service at a fair price (3USD). the room doesnt have a washroom (which I didnt realize before ..), but the price is fair. not gonna expect too much, good for 1 night stay

    The hotel owner is a very nice and helpful person. On the way from the airport, he showed me the bus and train stations, helping me get familiar with the routes. He also introduced the sightseeing routes in the city. The villa is very beautiful, and staying here is truly a pleasure. It is also very close to the airport, and they provide airport pick-up and drop-off services only $3 one way.

    Location near the airport is perfect, the house is very big with common areas. You also can access a fridge, there is tea/coffee at disposal, the A/C was super silent and very good pressure under the shower, which is very rare in Sri Lanka! we recommand 100%!! very good value for money!!
