Guest Reviews

• van Pampus (10/5): - The hosts were amazing, Avanthi is an amazing cook, with a lovely breakfast and absolute amazing diner. The locations is just a little outside the centrum of Colombo. The location is quite and into the a lovely green area.
• Rachel (10/5): Excentré mais tellement fabuleux 😊 -
• M.L (10/5): Wonderfull - We had a wonderful stay at Tekkawatta. From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel incredibly welcome. They are such warm, kind and helpful people who truly care about their guests. The house itself is beautiful, full of character, and surrounded by a stunning garden that creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It really feels like a special place where you can completely unwind. The swimming pool was perfectly clean and very well maintained, ideal for cooling down and relaxing. Everything around the property is taken care of with great attention. The food was also excellent – fresh, tasty and prepared with care. Every meal felt authentic and delicious. Tekkawatta is a magical place with wonderful hospitality. We truly enjoyed our time here and left feeling relaxed and grateful. We highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful place with incredibly kind hosts. Thank you again for such a lovely stay! All good

• Ricky (8/5): - This is a two bedroom villa. We totally enjoyed our stay here. The views of nature and the surrounding areas are breathtaking. The rooms are reasonable sizes with options for an air conditioning, or a ceiling fan. The staff and the owners were friendly and very helpful. Our staff was great. Sadly we had a few lighting issues, which was not a fault of the villa but, in the general area. There was no fridge at all!! This is a necessity expecially with toddler. The Internet was intermittent, possibly due to bad weather. This is no fault of the villa, but it can be extremely difficult to get a cab/taxi/tuk tuk/Uber, Pick Me etc to the villa, and at times when you do manage to get one, they struggle to find the location. We stayed at this villa for 3-days towards the end of November 2025. On our final day, flooding due to extreme weather, started to occur in the general area and other parts of Sri Lanka. But, the very helpful owners were extremely helpful and were prepared to assist where necessary.
• Michał (7/5): Spokojny wieczór - Czysty i wygodny pokój, cisza i spokój dookoła willi, dobra kolacja Średni wybór podczas śniadania, czystość w łazience, dużo mrówek, sporo liści w basenie
• Sigrid (10/5): -
• jessica (10/5): -
• Marijn (10/5): - Erg mooi verblijf. Fijn zwembad en zeer aardig personeel. Alles was schoon, niks op aan te merken.
• Cheriette (5/5): -
• Isabelle (9/5): - This is the perfect place to stay if you'd looking for a tranquil oasis away from the city for a couple of days. Lush cinnamon trees, teak trees and palm trees border the pool and the pool area was the main draw for us to Tekkawatta and it didn't disappoint. The communications before we arrived were always prompt and very helpful, kindly booking an airport pick up for us (~40 USD and took 45 mins) and the owner was extremely welcoming and helpful. Having studied in the UK, her English was excellent and she told us she is the 5th generation to own the property and we were happy to be staying in a Sri Lanka owned hotel, rather than a big corporate.  Contrary to a previous review we were given plenty of water at all times, at meals and in the rooms and lovely to arrive to a refreshing drink and cold towels. For us the food was served family style, so we chose a dish for the adults and something more plain/bland for the younger kids.  There was unfortunately work going on in the 2 bed apartment we were due to stay in, so we stayed in some alternative rooms, which were fine, but I think the apartment was probably more luxurious. I would love to stay here again and see the apartment next time.
• Bood (8/5): Nice place, friendly staff - Very nice place to visit after a long flight
• Raj (8/5): A peaceful few days to rest - July 2025 - Wonderful location and accommodation for a family or group of friends to relax and enjoy a few days of peace and nature. Friendly staff. We would have liked to have some more water bottles to drink water. Unfortunately we were only given 4 or 5 small bottles during the meals ( for 5 people). Also for us it would have been very helpful to know in advance that there is only cash or local Bank transfer option available to make the payment. I believe both of the above points are important for any guests especially since the accommodation is located in a remote but beautiful location. Just to add another helpful point, it would be nice to have some mosquito nets in the bedrooms.
• Samantha (10/5): Paradise on the outskirts of Colombo - We were so lucky to find Tekkawatta for the last four nights of our hectic three week trip to Sri Lanka. The two bed villa is spacious and clean, very good a/c and the meals prepared for us were excellent. The staff are polite, discreet, professional and friendly and the owners are charming. We highly recommend this jungle oasis on the edge of Colombo. It’s a bird watcher’s paradise and a heavenly end to a fabulous holiday.
• Jerry (9/5): A green haven in busy east Colombo - Beautiful garden and very spacious. A fridge in the kitchen could have been useful - a show around + WiFi info
• Fraser (8/5): Perfect first night in Sri Lanka for our young family away from the chaos of the capital. Would definitely recommend. - Quite location with a lovely pool, perfect for the kids. Food was great, staff very friendly and the owner called a few times to make sure everything was ok - she ‘madam’ spoke excellent English. Quite difficult to find so you do need a Uber with satnav but we had no issues here at all. 50 mins into Colombo centre but a fun ride in a tuc tuc.
• Björn (8/5): Very good -
• Nakeli (10/5): Great communication with the manager if we needed anything. Our credit card wasn’t working online in Sri Lanka but they - Very nice location outside of town. Beautiful landscape and nice buildings. A couple stray dogs hanging around.
• Asad (9/5): Superb -
• Abdulkareem (9/5): We loved it here and it was ideal for a family sharing a villa - We wanted to stay somewhere quiet and a little way out of the city and the place was perfect for that. Very tranquil surrounded by lovely gardens and the pool was wonderful. The staff were friendly and always available for anything we needed. They cooked us delicious Sri Lankan food with breakfast included and other meals available.on request.
• René (10/5): 5 Stars, absolutely recommendable accommodation - A paradisiacal, dreamlike property on the outskirts of Colombo. Very spacious property with a beautiful house that leaves nothing to be desired. We enjoyed our last stay here after many pool villas in Sri Lanka and found this place, house, pool and garden to be one of the most beautiful places where everything was simply perfect and nothing to complain about. The pool is larger than average and was cleaned daily. The staff was very friendly and accommodating from the welcome to the departure all our wishes. We would definitely like to come back. Highly recommended accommodation. There was nothing to complain
• Samarakoon (6/5): Pleasant -
• Keshia (10/5): It was a pleasant stay but the place could do the few minor changes to give full value to the money we pay. - The location and the setting, hygiene plus the food was amazing External music and there was no Air conditioning in the 2nd room. There was no options for food.
• Nestor (7/5): Good - The garden and the pool. The breakfast was very poor. The rooms were basic.
• Saputhanthri (10/5): Amazing stay - location was really peaceful Had to pay for the AC seperately
• Kajan (4/5): Disappointing - Breakfast was good and location okey Lots of mosquitoes and no air conditioning otherwise very lovely place
• Chatura (10/5): An extremely pleasant and enjoyable stay - The property is tranquil and denotes the nature centric approach. The pool and other facilities were as advertised. We enjoyed our stay and the staff were accomadative and helpful. Would definitely recommend that folk try out the villa. It's a 10 minute drive off the highway and is very accessible.
