- Augustina (10/5): - Exceptional welcoming from the host. 100% cleaned environment. Highly recommended.
- michael (9/5): will stay again when in the area - the homestay is in a quiet cul de sac very quiet area the hosts are lovely people very caring . the house is clean the room /bathrom very clean comfortable bed no faults
- Jane (10/5): - Could not have wished for kinder friendly, more helpful hosts. Room and home were cozy and very clean and location was great. Nothing to dislike
- Simon (10/5): - Hosts and very quiet Everything was perfect
- Reem Almasri (10/5): -
- Megan (10/5): The hosts are two of the kindest and most open-hearted people you will ever meet. Book, be blessed, and be good to them! - The conservatory and garden are stunning spots to write and meditate.
- Lucy (10/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): Perfect little getaway - Really welcoming hosts- would love to stay again! All of the facilities were clean, easy location to find using uber app and not to mention one of the comfiest beds i’ve ever slept in.
- Richard (6/5): Disappointed and uncomfortable, it is much less than what we would expect in 2025 - There was no breakfast We felt a little uncomfortable, we basically had a bedroom in the family home, in the middle of an estate, the owner made us a drink when we arrived and when we left, we had to walk through their lounge to go to the bedroom we were given. There were no tea/coffee making facilties in the bedroom or kettle (which most places provide now), so it is not what we were expecting at all. The only place in the house to make a drink was the family kitchen which we were not offered and we would not have wanted to use with no privacy. I don't want to upset the lady, it isn't my intention as she was lovely, but it was not what I would expect in 2025 for a B&B, so I must be honest writing a review. As there is no breakfast it should not be classed as a B&B, it is just a bed you are paying for.
- Sven (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen! - Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und haben mich herzlichst willkommen geheißen. Auch einen Stellplatz für mein Auto stand direkt vor der Tür zur Verfügung. Das Haus selbst liegt in einem sehr ruhigen Wohngebiet. Das Zentrum sowie die Schnellstraße/Autobahn sind schnell erreichbar.
- Igor (10/5): -

I absolutely loved my time their and loved their company! 100pc recommend!
- Louis (10/5): Perfect stay :) - Very clean and very nice property, so welcoming and kind people who make sure your stay is excellent, Thankyou for letting me stay in your lovely home
- Mark (10/5): Very welcoming, lovely room, perfect! - Clean comfortable bed, good shower, great hosts, what more do you need for one night. There was nothing I didn’t like about the property, the only reason I marked the first score one down was a glass in the bathroom would have been good even though there was a bottle of water. If I was being really picky a bean to cup coffee machine would be appreciated downstairs. Hate saying this as I loved my stay, felt very welcome.
- Ekman (10/5): - Really friendly welcoming at this home stay, a clean and comfortable room in the upstairs with a recently renovated shared bathroom. I had a really good sleep, and nice conversations, before continuing my travels in Scotland. Can highly recommend :)
- Martin (7/5): -
- Linda (9/5): Most pleasant stay and excellent hosts - Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Hosts were friendly, helpful, caring Bathroom not en-suite, but the cleanliness made up for the slight inconvenience

- Kirsty (10/5): AMAZING!! I felt so welcome, like part of the family. Such kind and helpful hosts!! - I have never stayed somewhere like this! I felt so at home and was treated like a queen. Dilhani and lakmal were so accommodating and kind. The traditional sri Lankan food is delicious and the portions were great!!! I would recommend you order as much as possible throughout your stay as I had a meal in town one night and regretted it. The room was spotless and cozy. The bus is a 2 minutes away and train station a 15min walk. I will be back.. Nothing. Everything was perfect!
- Ron (10/5): Great location, helpful hosts and met all of my expectations. - The hosts were very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Wonderful back and conservatory that I was welcome to use. I have suggestions as to what could have been better.

- Wrangler Man (10/5): Excellent - Couple were very welcoming. Would highly recommend the Malaysian breakfast. Had potato curry with coconut rice. Flavour was very complex and very tasty.

- EMMA (10/5): - Really lovely couple who offer rooms in their home. Mine was spacious with a lovely view to the garden, it was a really quiet area. I didn't have breakfast because I had to shoot off!

- Clark-Hudson (10/5): Welcoming hosts. - I had such a great stay at the weekend with Lakmal and Dilhani who are such lovely and accommodating hosts, very helpful and have created a warm inviting restful home with wonderful smells and delicious teas. Great if you have a hectic event in Glasgow planned! I liked everything
- victoria (9/5): - Fantastic hospitality and welcoming NA
- Marjetka (9/5): - Prijetna sobica v privat hiši s kopalnico v sobi. Domačina sta bila izjemno prijazna in ustrežljiva. Za prespati eno noč v bližini Glasgowa je to dobra izbira. Tuš dobro deluje, postelje mehke.
- Tong (9/5): 舒適的體驗 - - 內部的設計和庭園都很好看,房間整潔舒適
- 因為是住宅區,四周十分安靜(但也因此餐廳並不多)
- 距離機場較近(我離開時用Uber前往機場,約20分鐘路程30英鎊左右)
- 屋主是一對很友善的夫婦,有需要會盡力協助 - 距離最近的火車站大約20分鐘路程,公車站則大約10-15分鐘,有一定距離
- 房間稍微有點小,太大的行李箱可能會比較難完全打開
- Lisa (10/5): Amazing - we would highly recommend and would love to have the opportunity to go back. - Lakmal and Dilhani are wonderful hosts! Nothing appeared to be too much trouble. We spent some time talking with them as they also live at the property, but would have liked to have had the opportunity to chat more, but we were in Glasgow to meet with friends we had not seen for many years so sadly we didn't have the time.
They have a gorgeous, relaxing garden which we had a little time to enjoy.
We sadly didn't have breakfast as we had already pre-booked our days out with friends, but we did get the chance to sample a little of Dilhanis home made cooking before we left and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend asking about their food!
We had a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom - towels were provided. Our 20 year old son had the single room which had a queen size bed and a shared bathroom. Everything was spotlessly clean.
Their home has a wonderful Sri-Lankan feel to it, in a quiet cul-de-sac.
- Abhi247u (10/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): - Very hospitable hosts, couldn't do enough. Made us feel very welcome. It's a shame we didn't have more time to talk
- Shane (9/5): It was ideal for my stay. Cheap but very nice. 15 mins walk from nearest station - Very friendly people. Nice quiet location. The bed was a little soft but I guess I'm used to a firm bed at home.
- Ifeoluwa (7/5): -
- paul (10/5): i cant recommend Ceylon HomeStay highly enough, a great stay with the perfect hosts - I stayed in Glasgow for work and the location of Ceylon HomeStay was perfect, very quiet cul-de-sac with a 5 min walk to a canal which was lovely to run beside, with shops and food places close by if needed. The hosts were perfect, I was greeted at the door as I arrived, had a cup of tea and a chat, and shown around the house, garden and my room; they have a lovely home and open it up for guest to enjoy, My room was clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great, it was clear that Lakmal and Dilhani put so much effort and care into the guest experience, such nice people and lovely to chat with, I cant wait to return and stay again, nothing i didn't like, it was the perfect stay and i cant wait to return, highly recommended
- Devanand (10/5): Perfect and welcoming stay - The homestay is like home, a perfect blend of clienliness and comfort. Lakmal and his wife are perfect hosts.We came as guests and leave them as a friend.We will always remember their hospitality and kindness.As a sign of recognition,we strongly intend to stay with them again in the near future. Everything was perfect.No complaint at all.
- Bruce (10/5): We only stayed for one night, and sadly had to leave early to catch our air flight. - The staff were very friendly, and made us welcome. Rain, but that couldn't be helped!!
- Monica (9/5): -
- Stevie Doc (10/5): Excellent Allie for money - The hosts could not be more helpful. They are very welcoming and this is a really quiet house.
- Marcia (10/5): -
- ELISA (10/5): Peaceful, neat, welcoming and very comfy bed - The incredible comfortable bed, everything clean and neat, the gorgoeus and peaceful garden with conservatory, and having a chat with Lakmal and Dilhani. I felt so welcoming. Big thanks. Not having free access to hot drinking water. Maybe a thermo flusk with hot water it could be advantageous if they are not at home.
- Erik (10/5): -
- Mojmír (8/5): - Pohodlná postel, vstřícní a příjemní majitelé. Nevšimli jsme si typu ubytování - pronájem pokojů u někoho doma. Je divné přijít k někomu do obývacího pokoje, slyšet ho chodit po domě, schodech apod. když usínáte.
- Amanpreet (10/5): -
- Alec (9/5): -
- Andrei (10/5): -
- Pravinchandra (10/5): Energetic, Happy, Fabulous stay. - The first thing, as soon as we reached we were warmly Welcomed by Lakmal & Dilhani even though we reached the property at around 21.30 pm.
It was my wife's Birthday and as soon as they came to know that, they decorated the main room for Birthday Celebrations. We did had lovely Cake.
Both of them are so humble and honest.
Lakmal guided us with local bus and train schedules and personally dropped us at some places without charging a single penny. Same way Dilhani prepared such a lovely food for us - Chicken Biryani & Cocunut rice were some of them.
We recommend this property for a lovely and Homely stay.
It is REALLY A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.
If you are a Aviation & Canal Lover, We will suggest an additional Glasgow attraction just near the 5 min walk from this property. Lakmal may guide that for you.
Dilhani makes some Hand made Scottish remembrance gifts which are displayed in their glass rack which is quite cheap and so adorable
Wishing CEYLON HOME STAY - All the Success.
Love from Pravinchandra Guitesh & Illa Guitesh. .
- Arndt (10/5): Beautiful private house with lovely hosts - Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Eigentümer, extrem leckeres Essen in der Unterkunft. Schönes Schlafzimmer in ruhiger Lage, wunderschöner Garten und Wintergarten, Bushaltestellen direkt um die Ecke. Fluss und Kanal in Laufreichweite. Loch Lomond mit dem Bus gut zu erreichen. Eigentümer geben hilfreiche Tips welche Sehenswürdigkeiten sich lohnen.
- Iwona (10/5): Could not choose a better place. - Easy to find, close to the venue. Hospitality of the owners. Cultural experience and delicious meal at extra charge. Clean and quiet Can't fault this place.
- Stuart (10/5): - When we arrived at Ceylon HomeStay we were met by our hosts, Dilhani and Lakmal and immediately offered a welcome drink in their Sun room overlooking the lovely garden. Dilhani then showed us to our room and it was evident that the property was looked after as it was spotlessly clean, tidy and functional.
After a good nights sleep we went downstairs to be surprised with a very unexpected Sri Lankan breakfast of Egg Hoppers and fresh Fruit and a choice of drinks which was a lovely touch typical of Sri Lankan hospitality.
We went out for the day and on our return, again we were offered drinks in the Sun room that we gladly accepted and we spent some time chatting about Sri Lanka, its cultures and its people and we agreed that this homestay was a little piece of the Lankan culture in Glasgow.
Sadly we had to check out all too soon and leave for home but the warm, friendly welcome will stay with us for a long time to come. Nothing negative to stay about Ceylon HomeStay. Our stay was flawless. Everything was perfect.

- Siegfried (10/5): Warm & Memorable Stay in Glasgow - Wonderful accommodation hosted by a kind and welcoming Sri Lankan couple, and it truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel right at home. Their hospitality was second to none, and their attention to detail was evident throughout our stay.
One of the highlights was the authentic Sri Lankan breakfast they prepared for us—it was absolutely delicious and a delightful surprise! The flavors, presentation, and care they put into the meal showcased their passion for sharing their culture.
Thank you for an unforgettable stay—I’d gladly return in the future! The only small downside was the use of incense sticks, which might not suit everyone’s preferences. However, this did not detract much from the overall experience.
