優しい
Pros:

お湯出る。家族経営で優しい。共有の冷蔵庫完備してる。

Cons:

クソでかいイモリが夜中に部屋に出た。
ネゴンボビーチから離れてるので、少し高くてもビーチ沿いに泊まった方がいいと思う。周りにレストランがないので。

Pros:

The room was spacious, comfortable for our family and very clean. The owner was really friendly and would go very far (like many other Sri Lankans we had met in the course of our family trip) to make our time in Sri Lanka comfortable and memorable. Without a special request, he put an additional small bed in the room for our daughter. He managed to buy for us some typical Sri Lankan biscuits at fairly late night hours that we wanted to bring home as souvenirs (we spent in Negombo our last night of the trip).
The place is located close to the Negombo beach and is not far from the airport.

Pros:

It was very good. Big room, nice breakfast, and outstanding staff. Especially Malcolm Pereira was such a nice person to meet with. He even showed me around the whole town, we went to the beach and everything. Sweetest person in Negombo with the biggest heart! Recommended 10/10.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Pros:

החדרים מסודרים ומתאימים למעבר ליום יומיים לפני ואחרי נחיתה, המארחים מקסימים, מנסים לרצות בכל דבר ואכן מצליחים, יש מזגן מצויין ומים חמים וארוחת הבוקר הייתה טובה בהחלט, כיף לראות מארחים כאלה. התמורה עלתה על המחיר

Cons:

אין, הכל היה מעולה

Pros:

Nah am Flughafen. Gut für eine kurze Nacht nach dem Flug. Zeitlich sehr flexibel; wir bekamen um 11.30 Uhr noch ein sehr individuelles Frühstück!

Cons:

Wir hatten 3 Zimmer. Davon waren 2 Zimmer sehr gut. In einem Zimmer war der Duschvorhang ziemlich verschmutzt und vereinzelt waren Spinnweben in den Ecken.

Perfect place to stay in Negombo
Pros:

The room was perfect for one person and clean. The sister of the owner was there during my stay and she is the friendliest person. The breakfast was delicious as all the other meals I had there. The location is perfect to explore Negombo and close to many shops and restaurants.
