An unforgettable stay with beautiful vibes, exceptional service, and hospitality that truly stands out.
Pros:

My stay at Ziegler Cottage was honestly exceptional from start to finish. The property itself is stunning — beautifully designed with a perfect blend of modern comfort and tropical charm. The atmosphere is calm, peaceful, and incredibly aesthetic, making it feel like a private escape away from everything.

The rooms were spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully arranged with every little detail taken care of. The pool area was absolutely gorgeous, especially in the evening — it created such a relaxing, almost magical vibe.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was the hospitality. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, always going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. A special mention to the owner, Hans — he was incredibly welcoming and hands-on, ensuring everything ran perfectly. You can really feel the passion and care behind this place through him.

Everything — from the ambiance to the service — felt well thought out. It’s the kind of place where time softens, where you breathe a little deeper, and where leaving feels just a little harder than expected.

Cons:

There’s truly nothing I didn’t like — I loved everything about this place, from the smallest details to the overall experience.

Schöner Pool und nettes Personal.

Pool hatte scharfe Kanten an den Fliesen,sodass sich die Kinder mehrmals aufgeschnitten haben an den Füßen. Zimmer sehr in die Jahre gekommen.

Pros:

Breakfast was decent, but nothing to write home about. It’s definitely a good place to rest after a flight. The rooms were a decent size, and we really didn’t lack for anything.

Cons:

The ocean right next to the hotel isn't suitable for swimming because the shore is rocky. However, if you walk 200 meters to the side, you can swim. We booked a two-bedroom apartment with a sea view, but the view was very limited; when we looked out, the first thing we saw was a trash-strewn part of the courtyard, and the ocean was only visible through the trees and around the corner of the building. Furthermore, nowhere was it mentioned that one bedroom had absolutely no windows. We felt a bit cheated.

All staf was very kind and did everything very kindly. especially i would like to thank to Mr.Arie because he was really
Pros:

Clean, nice and service was excellent

Cons:

We thought also swiming on the sea can be possible but it's almost impossible to swim. Sea view was so nice.
Swiming pool inside the hotel was great and taste of foods they served was excellent.

Ghetto à touriste
Pros:

Je mets une bonne note uniquement pour l’accueil chaleureux du propriétaire et l’appartement qui est super.

Cons:

Ce complexe est un ghetto à touriste. Ou il y à plein de règles dénué de sens. Signature quand vous allez à la piscine et bonnet de bain obligatoire et non fournis. Pas mettre le linge sur le balcon et j’en passe. Personnel de la piscine infecte ! Ma fille et mon mari faisait gentiment du tapis de course dans la salle de sport la personne les a sorti en étant menaçant ! Bref ce lieu ne reflète pas du tout le vrai Sri Lanka et la gentillesse des srilankais ( sauf le propriétaire de l’appartement qui etait adorable)!

Great and helpful staff, private beach but remote location
Pros:

The staff was pleasant and helpful, arranged for the Van for the travel and were accommodating in changing the rooms. Lucky was extremely helpful.
The property was clean.

In addition to that it opens up on beach
And it’s more or less private beach.
Great breakfast. Loved the food.
However Limited options for lunch and dinner (until you pre-order)

Cons:

The location is remote. Is expensive to book Tuk Tuk for city and Negombo beach. Prefer this location if you want calm and peace. Absolutely not a place for party, night strolling etc.

Pros:

I spent two nights at Zingler Cottage in Negombo. It was a very quiet and pleasant place to stay, with good accommodation and food. The staff at the resort were very kind and helpful. They also arranged a cab with a friendly driver for a five-day trip around Sri Lanka.

Relaxing but no ocean swimming and not quiet nights.
Pros:

Friendly staff, nice food, quiet location

Cons:

Zero access to the ocean due to shart coral and this is not advertised. Pool not clean. Our room was noisy at night due to some water pump. Changing rooms helped but not completely.

Relaxing and hospitable stay in a comfy hotel with the best staff.
Pros:

We had an extended 2 week stay here due to a cancelled flight and couldn’t have asked to be stranded in a better place. The hotel was comfortable, good beds, clean, hot showers, lovely pool and decent sun loungers. The food was freshly cooked and tasty but the best thing about Ziegler Cottage was the staff. They were all a complete delight and made us feel so at home. Everyone of them was smiley, hardworking and so helpful. We can’t thank you enough for looking after us so well.

Cons:

Nothing really….. I suppose if you didn’t check out it’s location properly you may think it a bit of a way out of Negombo (20 mins in a tuktuk). And the beach was a little disappointing as it wasn’t safe to swim but I believe the rains in December had washed the sand away so this may have changed.
