Village Inn Resort

Nice owner and comfortable bed in a touristy area.

The room with its furniture and decoration was very oldschool, it felt like a time travel 😁

It was clean, central location, owners were friendly and helpful

Location

Not cleaning

We booked here because we needed somewhere to rest after a days drive into Negombo before our flight out at midnight. It was ideal for how we used it - to store our bags for the afternoon/evening and a shower before heading to airport. Bar and restaurant directly across the road. For $13 it was cost effective.

Lovely stay in Negombo. Our flight got in unexpectedly late and we had to check in at 1am without having previously let the owners know. They were very kind and woke up to let us in no problem. Very clean and great location across from the beach.

Everything at the property was great. Beach across the street was quite dirty so we didn’t spend any time there but the street had lots of restaurants and juice bars.

Very good location, helpful and nice staff, even allowing us to check in early. The garden was wonderful.

The place needs a whole renovation or at least deep cleaning.

Owner and staff are so kind and welcoming. Room had AC and fridge, which was so good to store food and water. The location was really central, 5 min walk to beach and lots of restaurants and bars nearby.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Basic accommodation in a great location

The only good thing that I can say about this accommodation is location. It is close to the beach.

Hotel badly needs renovation. Everything - building itself, rooms, furniture, etc. Disagree with previous high ratings, as I had feeling that I am in horror movie. No lights, no people - electricity was down when I arrived. The guy on reception barely speaks English. WiFi worked only in the lobby, where also bed linens were drying. Although in description was said the breakfast is possible for extea charge, guy said not possible - go somewhere else. The sockets in my room didn't work - it was impossible to charge my phone although I had an adapter that I didn’t need in any other hotel or homestay in Srilanka. So very unplesant experience in the end of my super great trip.k

The room and the bathroom are spacious and clean. The bed and pillows are very comfortable, and there is enough furniture provided to unpack your bags. The owners/managers are very friendly and accommodating. When we complained about the live music next to our bathroom window, they immediately gave us another, even better room. They also provided us with hot water for our coffee each morning, which we greatly appreciated. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel, despite the different challenges we encountered due to the bad weather.

No hot water on bad weather days because the system is powered by solar energy, which is great for the environment, less so for people when it rains for days. The owner opened another room for us to get a lukewarm shower the 1st morning, but the warm water quickly ran out due to the constant rains. However, the owner plans to add an electric system to guarantee his guests' comfort. A proper bath towel would be really nice, rather than a hand towel.
