Guest Reviews

• Valentine (3/5): - Malheureusement les photos ne reflète pas la réalité, la chambre était roots en taule donc pas du tout insonorisé (bruit de la route, de la ville et un bruit métallique qui grince…) Le lit était propre le sol aussi mais il y avait des insectes. Malgré le personnel très aimable qui fait navette gratuite à l’aéroport nous avons très mal dormis
• Adeline (10/5): - Super emplacement après un vol de nuit, petit déjeuner très bon. Et le personnel était super! Ils sont venus nous chercher à l’aéroport et l’organisation a été facile . Je recommande !
• Anais (4/5): -
• Bianca (8/5): Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - Gute Unterkunft für 1 Nacht, das Zimmer war sauber und die Gastgeber sehr freundlich und bemüht. Gerade zum Flughafen ist die Lage außerdem perfekt.
• sebastien (9/5): Bien pour 1 nuit - L emplacement ,la piscine , ils m ont laisse plus de temps que le check out normal
• Tony (10/5): Perfect in every way. Recommended, and at a great value price. - Excellent, bearing in mind Sri Lankan rooms are not UK standard in the main. Ranil the manager was a star. We had a load of luggage, and he kindly picked us up from the airport, and loaded all our six bags into his car, and got them out again when we arrived at the hotel. He gave us a big room because we had our doggie with us, and he had the AC on before our arrival, and it was such a nice thing to do. Breakfast is very plentiful, with excellent coffee. We highly recommend the Airport Residence Inn. Nothing. All was great.
• Lorna (10/5): Perfect for a night near the airport, lovely staff - The free airport shuttle service was brilliant, so helpful that I didn’t have to organise myself, even picked me up from my flight that landed at 1am. The breakfast was delicious, so many dishes! I really was made to feel welcome at this residence
• Sara (10/5): -
• MD ISMAIL (9/5): - Best for the short stay, specially those who 8 to 10 hours transit through Srilanka. Staff was very helpful 😍
• Jakub (10/5): Domki kempingowe z basenem. - Wybrałem to miejsce bo w bliskiej okolicy jest wypożyczalnia motocykli. Obiekt spełnił oczekiwania choć oczywiście nie jest luksusowy. Uczynny personel. Miłym bonusem była kąpiel w basenie. Stosunek cena/jakość dobry. Domek w standardzie kempingowego, brak wyciszenia i deszcz czy odgłosy zwierząt utrudniają zasypianie.
• Argie100 (10/5): - The staff we amazing, free airport shuttle, free srinks on arrival and helpedus sort out transport when required, staff were also available 24 hours via whatsapp. Good internet. The pool was nice and well maintained. Great stol from the airport if arriving late/leaving early the next morning. Bathroom not sealed so bugs were able to get in but this is reflected in the price.
• Toby (8/5): - Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. Das Hotel ist klein und sauber. Preislich ist das Hotel unschlagbar.
• vipin (10/5): I stay with my in-law for marraige and roni and owner did more then what i spent and safe to - every thing is beyond expectation based on the money you spent and what you get the guy on counter and the owner both do extra efforts to support you. none
• Verena Erika (9/5): - Ein tolles Hotel in der Nähe vom Flughafen. Das Zimmer war wirklich sehr groß und hatte alles was man brauchte. Klimaanlage und Pool haben den Aufenthalt besonders angenehm gemacht. Auch das geteilte Badezimmer war gut. Außerdem gibt es ein kostenlosen Shuttle zum Flughafen - wirklich super! Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt
• Kevin (3/5): Dusty garden shed full of cobwebs - If you don't mind staying in a dusty garden shed full of cobwebs, this place is fine. However, you can find much cleaner options for the same price. It’s a shame because the location is lovely, the pool is great, and the breakfast is good, it just desperately needs proper maintenance.
• Andres (10/5): Comftie and safe - The Host is fenomenal, very kind and helpful. Nice communication and on time for the pick up.
• Lyta (6/5): - Hôtel bien situé près de l’aéroport. Cependant, la propreté pourrait être améliorée et il manquait des serviettes (une seule pour deux personnes). Dommage.
• Piotr (6/5): -
• Mark (5/5): -
• Yoan (10/5): Super - Calme, proximité et drop off a l'aéroport
• Jennie (10/5): Perfect airport hotel either on the way there or home. - The owner was so helpful & made us welcome
• Tracy (7/5): Staff very helpful - Location Swimming pool
• Alex (8/5): Perfect for a night near the airport - Incredibly good value for money. Friendly and helpful staff, great location and free airport transfer was a lifesaver! Breakfast was good and pool was great. Had everything we needed.
• toni0815 (8/5): Für einen Tag OK. Sauberer Pool 4x8 Meter - Ausstattung funktional. Bad, Klimaanlage, in den blauen Häusern Für eine Nacht OK, da nicht so grosser Raum. Wir hatten es als Letzten Stop vor unserem Heimflug. War sehr praktisch vor allem der Pool. Transport zum Flughafen im Preis inbegriffen. Pool war sauber. Gab Kaffee, Tee und Wasser zum Empfang. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Klimaanlage funktioniert aber bedarf dringend einer Reinigung.
• Ulrich (8/5): -
• naoka (10/5): さいこう - スタッフの対応は素晴らしかったですし、早朝にも関わらず空港への送迎と朝食まで用意してくれて完璧でした！ なし
• Samuel (10/5): Perfect spot close to the airport with very welcoming owners - Excellent spot to stay after a long flight! The host was extremely helpful in giving us all the information we needed to travel around Sri Lanka as well as picking us up from the airport late at night as well. Everybody working there was very kind, highly recommend! Nothing
• Sacha (10/5): Simple, Efficace et Personnels aux Petits Soins. - 🎉👌🌴⛱️ L'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel. La proximité de l'aéroport. La piscine. Le petit déjeuner prêt a l'emporter car départ tres tôt le matin. La mise a disposition gratuite d'un chauffeur avec voiture a 4h00 du matin pour un transfert a l'aéroport.. 2 séjours en 10 jours a cause de la situation au moyen orient, j'ai retournerai si besoin. Rien!
• Robert (9/5): Perfect for a quick stopover. - Cute little houses with everything you need. Great to have free water refills. Can order dinner to be delivered. Lovely pool. Free pick up from airport. Good local breakfast. Nothing.
• Raquel (6/5): -
• Mădălin-Gabriel (8/5): -
• Katrin (9/5): - Wir waren die letzte Nacht vor unserem Heimflug hier. Die Hütte hat unseren Erwartungen entsprochen und war direkt am Pool. Shuttle mitten in der Nacht hat problemlos funktioniert und wir haben das Frühstück to go bekommen.
• Paulius (10/5): - Very nice and friendly family.The food was amazing.The hosts took care of everything to make the stay comfortable.
• Dana (3/5): Sehr nettes Personal, aber leider dreckig und Kakerlaken - Sehr nettes Personal Flughafen Shuttle funktioniert super Leider waren im ersten Zimmer mehrere Kakerlaken, genauso wie im Bad. Als ich das an der Rezeption meldete bekam ich ein neues Zimmer, leider war auch dieses nicht wirklich sauber, die Bettwäsche hatte Flecken und auch dort habe ich eine Kakerlake gesehen. Insgesamt habe ich mich leider nicht wohl gefühlt.
• Sean (8/5): Basic comfort and reliable transport - Communication with staff was great, obviously reliable airport pick up and drop off is the main reason you stay here and that was reliable and smooth. The pool is a nice place to chill while waiting out the clock, staff super friendly and location a short walk to grocery store/beer store. Breakfast was also good. The room is pretty spartan and basic, don't expect the biggest room or most luxurious facilities but the air con was cold and water was hot. The room isn't huge either so don't book here if that's a major priority. The place is priced fairly for what it offers, but keep in mind it's priced really low.
• Julian (9/5): Fijn personeel, goeie locatie bij het vliegveld - We hadden een prachtig blauw huisje. Het personeel was aardig, flexibel en stond 24/7 voor ons klaar. Het huisje is klein maar schoon. Ze bieden alles aan voor een strakke prijs. Een perfecte overnachting dichtbij het vliegveld.
• Csilla (9/5): - Close to the airport , free shuttle service, good breakfast, upgraded room.
• Cindy (4/5): - Very close to the airport and the train station The host asked us to pay immediately on arrival. After paying, he gave us a different cabin from the one we booked and said it was “an upgrade.” However, it had a very strong smell of sewage and urine. When I asked for the cabin I had reserved, he said it was not available. It was already night, so we had no choice but to stay, which was very unpleasant due to the smell. He also never offered to refund our money, which felt rude and dishonest after asking for payment before showing the room. The next morning he finally gave us the cabin we had originally booked, but it was full of mosquitoes.
• Sacha (10/5): Simple, pratique et super original! - Les petites cabanes sont très originales.. La piscine est sympa en arrivant après un voyage. Petite déjeuner à l’emporter en cas de départ tôt. Le personnel très accueillant et serviable.. Service navette aéroport efficace et ponctuel., Je m’attendais à rien et ai été plus que surpris. Rapport qualité/prix plus que correct! C’est certain, j’y retournerai en cas de besoin. Rien en soit.
• Karin (7/5): - Dichtbij de luchthaven. Supermarkt dichtbij. S nachts veel geluid. Zwembad heel koud maar fijn dat er een zwembad is.
• Delia (7/5): -
• Wiktor (10/5): -
• Olaya (9/5): Convenient stay for airport - Free pick up from airport Its quiet. Working staff is nice. Supermarket 1minute. Bus to capital 1 minute. Pool
• Hutchison (8/5): - Very welcoming and helpful 😊
• Janice (6/5): Okay, geht aber besser. - Frühstück war gut und ausreichend, nah am Flughafen, inkl. Shuttle. Sehr netter Gastgeber, der uns noch Tipps zum Bus etc gegeben hat. Wasser lief aus dem Badezimmer raus, Schimmel im Bad, heruntergekommene Klimaanlage, Lautstärke, Sauberkeit hätte insgesamt besser sein können.
• Gera67 (7/5): Goed voor 1 nachtje voor vertrek - Heerlijke warme douche, vriendelijk personeel en manager De ligging is ver buiten het gezellige deel van Negombo, wel dicht bij de luchthaven. Gratis shuttle is fijn. Het zwembad is niet heel groot
• Pavel (10/5): - Понравилось, что быстро заселились, удобный бассейн, дети сразу пошли плескаться. Ещё понравилось, что можно заказать еду прям в отеле, нам доставили, накрыли стол и покормили. Так же ночью нас бесплатно довезли в аэропорт, это прям киллер фича. Да всё отлично, но первое впечатление может быть немного смазанным, так как кажется по фоткам, что у отеля большая территория, но это не так.
• Marco (8/5): Super Unterkunft für den Transfer zum Flughafen - Super Shuttle-Service zum Flughagen
• Tatiana, Harsha (10/5): -
• Simona (7/5): - We chose the accommodation because of its proximity to the airport and the airport shuttle. The service was very correct. We went to the airport before breakfast. Therefore, the friendly staff prepared us a good breakfast to take away. Maybe a little more cleanliness
• De la torre (7/5): - Ubicación cercana al aeropuerto y nos vinieron a recoger .La habitación es confortable y el personal amable Relación calidad precio está muy bien .La piscina es un punto a favor Las habitaciones no tienen vistas y están muy cerca unas de otras. Pero en general cómodo.
• Aneta (8/5): - Příjemný personál Pohodlný transfer z letiště
• Corneel_Bekaert (10/5): Perfect 10/10 - De host Ranil was zo vriendelijk en hulpvaardig. We konden ons geen betere start van de trip wensen. Uitgebreid ontbijt.
• Marian Genner And Peter Wright (9/5): - Close to airport, good shuttle service which picked us up after midnight. Friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. Rooms are not fully mosquito proof but our bed had a good mosquito net.
• Svenja (9/5): -
• Lisa (7/5): -
• Gérardvic (7/5): -
• Lok Hang Duncan (7/5): -
• Katie (8/5): -
• naiara (9/5): - El personal, la hospitalidad está cerca de la laguna para dar un paseo en barca que es precioso.
• Elena (8/5): - Cómoda lungo la strada principale e servizio taxi per l’aeroporto incluso nel prezzo. Molto carine le casette con condizionatore e la doccia con la porta. pulizia doccia e lenzuola letto più pulite
• Jaimy (6/5): Ok - Shuttle en food service. Aardige eigenaar Hygiëne was echt slecht
• zoe (8/5): -
• Paula (10/5): -
• Perlie (10/5): - Excellent Stay – Highly recommended I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and eager to assist with anything I needed. Check-in was smooth, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-maintained the entire property was. The room was unique and very comfortable. I appreciated the attention to detail in the room’s design and amenities. Housekeeping did a great job each day, ensuring everything stayed spotless. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to stay again. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travelers!
• Dvir (7/5): -
• Eloke (9/5): -
• Nikhil (6/5): -
• Lucas (9/5): - Quietly, close to airport and shops. Nice staff.
• Maria Jolanta (10/5): - Very good host. Meet us in the airport. Offered thr transfer. Rooms are comfortable with everything we needed. Helped with organizing our program in Sri Lanka.
• cherie (7/5): Ok budget stay - Very friendly staff. We just needed a base for the day before our late night flight. We paid minimal so didn’t have high expectations.
• Mariona (5/5): - Personal molt amable i servicial. Ens van millorar l'habitació gratuïtament i ens van portar a l'aeroport a la matinada. Molt a prop de l'aeroport L'habitació feia molta pudor, en concret la reixa dels mosquits. El lavabo era un desastre, ple d'insectes, brut i la porta de la dutxa ni tencava.
• Lukasz (4/5): - The owner was welcoming and organized a free transfer to the airport, paying for the additional taxi (we wouldn't fit into one car). The place is close to the airport. The facilities are just poor and the level of cleanliness not acceptable. Rust, dust, broken shower cabin, poor mosquito net, humid and claustrophobic room, stale water in the swimming pool.
• Merlijn en Lisa (9/5): Goede prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding! - Het is een schone kamer vlakbij de airport. De gratis shuttle service midden in de nacht (01:30am) en een lekker ontbijt maakte dit een goed verblijf!
• Hagen (10/5): Super comfortable stay with great food, friendly people, and perfect airport access. - Honestly, this place was way better than expected. The pool was super clean and perfect to chill after traveling. The breakfast was on another level compared to most places in Sri Lanka — not just the usual toast and jam, but proper Sri Lankan food with different curries. Plus unlimited free coffee and tea, which is always a win. The staff were genuinely super friendly and welcoming, you feel comfortable right away. The rooms were very clean and well taken care of, AC worked perfectly, and having a TV with English sports channels was a nice bonus. There’s also free drinking water in the lobby, and overall everything is kept really clean and organized. If you’re heading to the airport, the free airport transfer is a huge plus and makes everything stress-free. Nothing to complain about, everything was smooth and well done.
• Paul (10/5): - Das Personal war sehr nett und herzlich
• Renan (10/5): -
• Alexandra (5/5): - Transfer notturno incluso nel prezzo colazione buona e abbondante. Struttura vecchia, poco curata , odore di umidita . In camera perdeva acqua il bagno e ho trovato una pozzanghera di acqua per terra . Considerato il costo e altre strutture dove ho soggiornato non ci tornerei e anche troppo costosa
• Malin (5/5): - Nära flygplatsen, trevlig personal, pool, bra service. Lyhört, kackerlacka i rummet
• Sabina (8/5): -
• Tracz (10/5): -
• CHANGYU (10/5): - 房东很热情，服务也很好，针对凌晨到机场的游客来说 ，是一个性价比较高的选择，旁边走路2分钟就有前往科伦坡的巴士站。
• Rita (10/5): - Ranil and the man who made us breakfast were amazing! Thank you for all the top tips on where to go and what to do to pick up our tuktuk. Breakfast was yum! Having staff like that is what makes the place great. Thank you for your hospitality. We would definitely recommend this place!
• Milena (8/5): - The host is very friendly and helpful. When you need something just ask him, he will do it for you.
• Aleksandra (10/5): - Super nice place. Very convenient when you arrive/leave as the airport is very close.
• Teresa (7/5): -
• Philipp (9/5): - Wir sind in der Nacht geflogen, weswegen wir uns dieses Zimmer Nähe des Flughafens gebucht haben, um vorher noch etwas zu entspannen und den Pool zu genießen. Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und zu unserem Zimmer gebracht. Ein großer Supermarkt ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Die Ausstattung ist nicht ganz so gepflegt, aber das Geld allemale wert. Wir wurden mit dem eigenen kostenlosen Shuttle in der Nacht zum Flughafen gebracht und haben sogar noch ein Lunchpaket mitgegeben bekommen. Leider war die Dusche etwas dreckig und die Geräuschkulisse in der Nacht recht laut.
• Daniela (4/5): No volveria - El hombre a la recepción, él compensa la decadencia de las habitaciones. Me ofreció pan, mantequilla y mermelada y café para desayunar. Mi habitación era muy cutre y bastante sucia, sábanas manchadas, hormigas, bichos etc. El baño compartido estaba al lado de la habitación, como hace mucho ruido y no es cómodo de cerrar, las dos personas con las cuales tenía que compartirlo se iban al baño dejando la puerta abierta por lo tanto se escuchaba todo lo que hacían. Y desafortunadamente eran huéspedes desconsiderados. La cama es una colchoneta pero dentro de lo cutre que estaba todo, ésto es lo de menos. Ahora que dentro del precio pueda quizás ser considerado aceptable ok, ma un 8 este sitio no es. Es un 4 o 5. No más.
• Christine (7/5): Served its purpose, friendly and helpful staff. - Staff were amazing, looked after us. Transport to the airport was much appreciated and was the delicious dinner. Basic accommodation that could do a few extra things for more comfort. Overall it was fine for the short time we were there. The swimming pool was basic but fine and refreshing Bed sheets need attention as does the what was left to put over us. Made me itchy. A plain sheet would be better and the sheet on the bed to be a proper sheet. For a light sleep like me, the road was very busy especially with a 4am wake up. Not the accommodations fault, just the way it is.
• Halima (5/5): -
• Joanna (7/5): Fine for the layover - It is located close to the airport. There is a nice spot in front of the house to sit and chill This is however nothing like a private bungalow, rather the garden with metal containers. The pool is located very close to the gate, so you feel like swimming almost with pedestrians.
• Casie (10/5): - Excellent management and reliability for an airport accom and free shuttle. It was the perfect stress-free end to our trip. Thank you!
• jekaterina (7/5): -
• Linnea (8/5): - Henkilökunta aivan mahtavaa, lentokenttäkuljetus ajallaan, heiltä voi tilata ruokaa joka oli hyvää Voisi olla siistimpää
• Justin (10/5): -
• Clay (10/5): - This hotel was clean, good Wi-Fi, hot showers, great AC, and very quick shuttle ride. I highly recommend!
• Emilie (10/5): -
• Marjan (7/5): -
• Attila (8/5): -
• Aleksandra (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff. I felt very welcomed there, perfect start to Sri Lanka adventure. Nice room and pool for morning swim. Big shop around the corner and so is a bus stop. From there you can take bus directly to colombo
