Guest Reviews

• Judy (8/5): - The staff were lovely, very friendly & helpful, things that weren't there that were supposed to be according to the listing on booking.com were provided on request. We had booked a suite & it was very spacious, the bed was comfortable & the bathroom modern. The kitchen had a kettle & tea/coffee & a small fridge. As with other properties on booking.com, the description of the room you book is not correct. We booked a suite that has doors opening out on to the pool area but when we arrived we were told that is already booked. We were given a suite on the 5th floor which was fine but it was supposed to have a kitchenette with cooking facilities etc but there was no cooker, toaster, plates or cutlery! However, the staff provided plates etc when we asked. The pool wasn't very nice, the water was a bit murky looking, the staff did admit they had a problem with it at the time we were there which was a shame as we couldn't use it.
• Elif (10/5): -
• valentina (9/5): Ottimo - Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, vicinissimo al centro e alla spiaggia, personale gentilissimo, mi sono sentita a casa, ho soggiornato qui dieci giorni e mi sono sentita accolta e sia con i proprietari che con lo staff mi sono sentita come in una famiglia Niente
• Lee-Ann (2/5): If we wasn’t leaving for the airport we would of left and found somewhere else - Staff we nice and welcoming The pool was green on arrival couldn’t use that day, and so many chemicals was thrown in to make it clear for the next day, I wouldn’t trust that. Pictures show about 8 sunbeds , there was 3 and only 2 with cushions.
• Christine (9/5): - Nette Mitarbeiter, herzlicher Empfang. Schöne location im " Kolonialstil" , ruhig gelegen. Geräumiges Zimmer. Ich habe mich wohlgefühlt. Frühstück war okay, aber nicht besonders üppig.
• Missaka (7/5): -
• Henri (9/5): -
• Teresa Agnieszka (8/5): -
• Peter G (8/5): Convenient Stopover - Good hotel for the money. Lovely friendly staff. Close to shops and restaurants. Comfortable and clean just what we needed before going to the airport.
• Elise Hedges (8/5): Great for a short stay in Negombo, lovely friendly staff and nice pool facilities. - Really lovely staff and owners, very helpful and communicative. Lovely, clean pool with lots of sun beds available. Very large room with big comfortable bed. Quite limited breakfast but still fair for the price of the room.
• Joanna (9/5): Kind and helpful staff, large suites, great pool and the best location - The welcome and the staff were amazing. Upgraded to a wonderful large apartment. The pool was also great and location was two minute walk to the Main Street, Lewis street with all the restaurants and shops. Absolutely loved St Lachlans.
• Percy (8/5): A good place to stay when just arrived or leaving. Excellent value for money. - The pool was nice as was the size of the room which also had seats in it. The manager was very helpful. Lack of sunbeds by the pool.
• Marion (1/5): Dreadful - Nothing Although the property is listed as 4 star it is barely 2 star. There are no kitchen facilities as listed, empty old cabinets. Apartment door did not lock from inside. Poor state of repair. Many items missing from listed facilities. No dining or bar facilities except for buffet breakfast. Receptionist used his mobile phone to scrap what looked like poo in my toilet. I moved out after one night and fighting for refund. Not as advertised. DO NOT STAY HERE
• Elin (5/5): Personalen är trevlig och tillmötesgående. Men rummen är inte särskilt rena speciellt badrummen. Men funkar för en natt - Det var trevlig personal. Nära stranden och restauranger Rummen var inte så rena särskilt badrummet. Wifit nådde inte till rummen och det var strömavbrott till och från
• Anne (7/5): Prima verblijf. - Heel fijn plek. Super lieve mensen en hotel kamer was mega groot. Zwembad was niet verwarm/ aan.
• Thomas (10/5): - Room was large with comfortable bed. Staff were excellent. Close to restaurants and beach
• Lidia (9/5): - Miły personel i pani właścicielka. Blisko plaży. Przesympatyczna obsługa przy śniadaniu. Śniadanie w cenie Nie ma się do czego przyczepić.
• Kevin (10/5): Lovely stay! - It’s calm and close to everything but the best is the staff they are so friendly special thanks to Ajantha!
• Sara (8/5): - Location, room and amazing breakfast and service Cleaning and pool
• Renaud Grenier (8/5): Emplacement parfait - l,emplacement et le personnel le manque de lumiere dans la chambre et la piscine comment a avoir de l,usure. Aurait besoin d un peu d,amour
• Manil (10/5): Excellent service - I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lachlan Hotel and Suites, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. A special mention must go to Ajantha Viraj, who provided exceptional service throughout my stay. His professionalism, friendliness, and genuine willingness to help made a huge difference. He was always attentive, courteous, and made sure every detail was taken care of with a smile. Service like this truly elevates the entire hotel experience. The rooms were excellent—very clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to relax and feel at home. Housekeeping did a fantastic job keeping the room spotless throughout my stay. The pool area was beautiful and well-kept, perfect for relaxing after a long day. It was clean, peaceful, and added great value to the overall experience. The hotel facilities in general are impressive and clearly well managed. Overall, Lachlan Hotel and Suites offers excellent service, high-quality rooms, and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff, especially Ajantha Viraj, truly make this hotel stand out. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, great hospitality, and a pleasant stay. I will definitely be returning in the future.
• Gokel (10/5): Comfortable stay - The hotel is very near to beach. The rooms are spacious and beds were very comfortable. The breakfast didn't have any option. It was basically eggs and bread.
• COLIN (8/5): Great location with big comfortable rooms and very sweet staff - Well located with lovely large clean room. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Good value for money Nothing. It’s perfect for what I wanted in Negombo
• Jimmy (1/5): Scam! Mehr als Enttäuschung und eine Frechheit - Nichts Irreführende Angaben, extreme Unsauberkeit, absolut nicht akzeptabel Ich habe über Booking.com eine „Deluxe Suite mit Meerblick“ gebucht. Was ich bei Ankunft erhalten habe, war eine absolute Zumutung. Der angebliche „Meerblick“ bestand aus Blick auf die Straße und einen offenen, völlig verdreckten Hühnerstall des Nachbarn direkt gegenüber. Das Zimmer lag direkt über der Rezeption und war entsprechend laut. Die Fenster waren so stark verschmutzt, dass man kaum hindurchsehen konnte. Ich habe sofort bei Ankunft reklamiert. Mir wurde lapidar gesagt, ich könne mir ja ein anderes Hotel suchen – das um 22:00 Uhr, nachdem ich 26 Stunden nicht geschlafen hatte. Trotz dieser Situation musste ich alle drei Nächte vollständig bezahlen. Die Chefin rief später an und versprach, entweder ein Zimmer in einem anderen Hotel zu organisieren oder sich „etwas anderes einfallen zu lassen“. Am nächsten Morgen bestand diese angebliche Entschuldigung dann lediglich aus dem Angebot eines kostenlosen Frühstücks – was angesichts der Umstände schlicht eine Frechheit war. Die beworbene Küche war faktisch nicht nutzbar: • kein Besteck • keine Teller • keine Pfannen oder Töpfe • nicht einmal ein Handtuch • Schubladen und Schränke innen extrem schmutzig und ekelerregend Besonders gravierend: Auf Nachfrage wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass es in diesem Hotel überhaupt keine Zimmer mit Meerblick gibt, diese aber weiterhin mit diesem Zusatz auf Booking.com verkauft werden. Das ist irreführend und für Gäste nicht akzeptabel. Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt sehr enttäuschend. Ich fühle mich getäuscht und kann dieses Hotel in keiner Weise empfehlen.
• Priti (9/5): -
• Wendy (7/5): Good short term stay either coming in or out of Colombo. - Very good location to restaurants and the beach. The suite we had was huge and had a balcony with partial ocean view. No elevator
• Sean (9/5): - Excellent for what you pay for. we did last night here as it was close to airport. It was 30 US. Place was absolutely fine room was massive lovely air con and clean. Staff lovely also. 3 min walk to beach. Honestly for what you pay for I couldn’t fault it one bit at all. Amazing value Can’t complain for the price and honestly nothing really to complain about

• Birgit (8/5): Faire Leistung zu einem guten Preis! - Gute Lage, sehr grosses Zimmer und für 3 Pers mit Zustellbett ideal. Das Frühstück fanden wir für 7€ pp etwas teuer in Relation. Dafür bekommt man anderswo ein top Abendessen z.B. im Restaurant Salt ca. 500m entfernt Der erste Eindruck an der Rezeption
• Rifath (1/5): -
• Ignacio (10/5): Wonderful - Todo, ha sido perfecto. Volveré en unos días!!! Solo los mosquitos han perturbado mi paz.
• Milan (10/5): - calm & quite
• Karolina (10/5): -
• Tamra (7/5): - Great location to walk to shops and restaurants Door lock and key were rusty so it was hard to open sometimes.
• Ann (8/5): close to the airport - It was close to the airport, the value was good. Ee arrived pretty late , yet we were able to check in smoothly around 5 AM in the morning+ they let us to check out later. The room itself was like a separate apartment the hotel was pretty old, making the stay a bit uncomfortable. We didnt go to the restaurant even tho the breakfast was included, so cannot say anything, the pool was looking ok
• Manil (10/5): - Exceptional stay with outstanding service!" I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful — a special thanks to Prabath and Ajantha for their exceptional service. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The pool was large and absolutely amazing — perfect for relaxing. The food was delicious with a great variety. Overall, every member of the staff made sure our stay was enjoyable. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for comfort and great hospitality!
• Jocelyn (10/5): Tout était parfait ! - Cet hôtel est un petit paradis idéalement situé à environ 100m de la plage mais sur une petite rue en retrait si bien qu'on est au calme tout en étant très proche de la grande rue commercante où il y a pléthore de bars, restaurants et boutiques de souvenirs. La chambre était agréable et confortable. Le wi-fi fonctionnait parfaitement bien, le petit déjeuner était délicieux dans un cadre superbe non loin de la piscine. De plus, le personnel était accueillant et réactif. RAS
• Pratheeba (10/5): - Je suis vraiment passé 2 jours bien
• Simen (5/5): Middels opplevelse - Sentralt Dårlig frokost. Nøkkel til rommet som ikke fungerte. Brukte 15 min på å låse meg inn hver gang jeg skulle inn på rommet. Skittent basseng.

• Keith (5/5): Passable -
• Rahul (4/5): Disappointing -
• Veronicah (10/5): Highly recommended. Definitely coming back - The hotel is in a very beautiful serene environment. Customer service top notch. The Tariju made the best breakfast for us. From security to the service men, everyone was excellent. Above the general manager went out of his way to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We arrived early in the morning and they reserved breakfast for us. There was nothing not to like. Everything was excellent
• Ramesh (1/5): Bad -
• Kintija (8/5): Very good -

• Simon (7/5): Good - The suites are big, roomy Location is the best in Negombo Staff is kind and trying to please TV had international channels Fridge and kitchenette but no stove for cooking Balconies with views Breakfast was good, pre-order about $6 usd and quite big - can have in room Quiet sleeps Kettle and coffee/tea Can pay with a credit card The bed was big The rooms have some mould but painted over, not a problem though, some mould in kitchen in my room Rooms cleans are only on request Air-conditioning was running cold - but can tweak to make comfortable Rooms probably need an update by now. The doors to have gaps for bugs. There are no movie channels on TV, just news and local TV Would like movies Had to ask for a blanket, but not problems My room was high floor, many steps The property needs better maintenance
• Mohamed (5/5): Passable -
• Paul (7/5): Good - Location The a/c not being able to function properly
• Ernesta (3/5): Poor - Well, not as in photo
• Laura (8/5): Very good -
• Anil (5/5): Arrived fresh, left exhausted - Extremely comfortable and clean If you stay on a Friday or Saturday night, then be prepared to put up with extremely loud music until 2am-ish coming from bars next door. Whilst not the fault of the hotel or bar, it really was pretty appalling
• Kim (4/5): Disappointing -
• Guillaume (8/5): Very good -
• T.v.c (8/5): A good stay. - Located at a very convenient place. Staff is friendly. But need improvements. Cleanliness needs to be improved. Manager is trying hard to bring a new changes. Pool is great.
• Mohammed (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alice (9/5): Great location, really helpful staff. - Staff here were very helpful, great facilities including breakfast and the pool. Thank you 😀 staff couldn't do enough for us!! Think the mattress may need to be updated as I left covered with some very suspicious bed bug looking bites all over my body......
• Mary (7/5): Good -
• Bastiyan (10/5): Exceptional - The room was fantastic. They gave me a free upgrade too. The food and service is excellent. i can recommend this hotel to all foreigners and locals. Price is also worth. They have a kitchen in the room and they have big tv. The room setting is very fabulous.
• Nguyen-son (10/5): Exceptional - Big and clean rooms. The pool is also nice, with sunbeds and pool towels. Pool gets cleaned every day. Very nice and helpful staff. Would definitely come back.
• Rukshan (10/5): Exceptional -

• Catherine (8/5): Very good - Very friendly welcome from staff and they let us check in super early. Large rooms. Pool is nice and clean. Great location just off the main street with plenty of restaurants and bars, also close to the beach. Nice shower in the bathroom. No cushions on the sun loungers
• Winiata (10/5): Great place with lovely staff. The rooms were amazing and the staff were very friendly. The pool was awesome. Very close - Huge lovely clean room
• Thimira (10/5): Exceptional -
• William (9/5): Superb - Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Very reasonably priced. Slight leak from fridge, but was cleaned immediately. Lock on door broke during our stay and staff installed a snib lock on the door very quickly. Nothing.
• Kelly (3/5): Poor -
• Dayana (8/5): Great place to stay - The hotel is well situated, with plenty of shops nearby. The staff is amazing and welcomed us warmly. They helped us with our luggage needs and made sure we were always comfortable. The rooms are spacious and equipped with a balcony, air conditioning, and more. I would highly recommend this hotel. The toilet needs an upgrade. It’s not broken, but it doesn’t feel secure and shifts when we sit or stand up. Other than that, everything was great!
• Niran (1/5): Worst accommodation ever - The hotel doesn’t have any lift and the hotel staff took our luggage to our room Everything! No lift, not clean, almost injured ourselves as bathroom was slippery. Towel was torn and not good one. Very old hotel which needs renovation. Not corresponding to the photos shown in booking.com. Maybe those photos were taken when the hotel opened. Swimming pool is in terrible condition and we haven’t used it. Breakfast also very basic, bread and jam and omelettes. Owner asked extra charge for veg option. Current went off and we didn’t get our breakfast in full and we left. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone
• Kishor (8/5): Very good - It was good place but the rain water made a puddle on the entrance. Friendly staff. Nice pool. Need a very little improvement in fixing the tiles at the edge of the pool. TV channels didn't word, they need to pay the subscription. I will recommend this. I may visit again. The room top window glass is plain and see through. No way of covering it. It is a serious privacy issue. Should be fixed ASAP
• Deshan (3/5): Poor -
• Emile (10/5): Nice hotel with great swimming pool - Great swimming pool and nice staff Nothing
• Juliet (8/5): Central location. Amazing staff. - Central location, amazing friendly helpful staff. Especially Prebatt, room staff and breakfast staff. Make sure you ask what they can offer at breakfast. Good facilities including pool. Spacious rooms. Would be better to provide mosquito nets.
• Rasha (1/5): Bad - Bad Weak WiFi
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pragash (10/5): Exceptional -
• Suranjana (9/5): It was a really nice experience. - Very Friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are exceptionally clean and well maintained. Child friendly. Convenient location and easy access to the beach and restaurants. Rates on Fruit juices and water could be more reasonable. (Watermelon juice was Rs. 1490/- and a bottle of 500ml of water was Rs. 400/-
• Noufel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Power (7/5): Great Location - Very close to beach. Staff very friendly Room.needs little my love. Only lamp working as second no bulb. Bathroom.door not closing as no key. Wardrope wont close as broken. Its these small things that can be easily fixed. Esp bathroom as bed close to.toilet and can smell when on bed Also at night room.very bright from.lights outside .Blins should be black out for better sleep
• Priyanka (7/5): Good stay and breakfast was not bad. - Rooms are big.
• Faheem (6/5): Pleasant - It was value for money. Staff was cooperative and pleasant. Pool was not temperature controlled. There were so many small ants in the room.
• Nicola (1/5): Felt unsafe after catching someone looking through the window - It was very cheap This is a hard review to write. I spent my last day in Sri Lanka here and had a bad experience. Lying down naked in a towel in bed, I noticed a man was peeking through a small gap in the window blind. Upon making eye contact, the person ran and my friend reported this to the hotel manager. Four men came to the room door and asked me questions about what had happened, asking what he looked like and my friend requested they simply check the CCTV. At first, they seemed a little reluctant and told me how trustworthy their staff are and that no one could have broken into the hotel as the door was locked. They told me I’m completely safe there and that I should just go to sleep, despite me saying I didn’t feel safe. They offered a different room, which I didn’t understand. A young worker then got his phone out and said he can access footage from his phone. It was taking a while to check CCTV as the footage was split into multiple clips, so they said they will watch it and return in the morning with an update. Upon return, they told us the camera facing our room door was not working which I believe to not be true as the young man initially checking CCTV showed us the hallway needed to see this. They said the only person they could see in a stairwell via CCTV was my friend which was untrue because there were multiple staff members around the hotel at that time. I felt they only wanted to defend their staff, rather than asking what would make me and my friends feel more safe. They didn’t offer anything else to remedy the situation and asked for a good review many times. Upon departure, I felt completely hounded by multiple men asking me to leave a good review and asking me to scan a QR code as I was already walking away. They cared so much more for a good review than how I was feeling and my safety. If they had asked, I would have told them I felt violated, disrespected and unsafe. My two friends left for their flights at 6am and then I locked and blocked the door.
• Riyaz (7/5): Good -

• Ayesha (5/5): Passable - The Hotel has run down. I have been before covid19 several times. But now the new management doesn't know what is happening in the property. Only they wanted the payment as soon checking in. There is a lot to improve in the property. In the night there are not many lights. There are few staff trying their best to make the guest happy, and there are few staff who are totally not capable of handling it. The first impression as you entered the hotel was 0. The reception guy was clueless and gave a room on first floor room #12, not clean, full of dust, AC was not working properly, and 1 fan was not working. No bathroom mats , no soap, no toilet papers in that room totally mess. After complaining. The staff change the room 2 hrs later to a reception area 5th floor room. That was a clean, big room with a sitting area and a pantry . As a person who travels, I don't recommend St. Lachlain, as their standards are gone down.
• Sherun (6/5): Overall experience was not up to top notch - Swimming pool was next my room and my daughter was very happy for that it was amazing experience Only one door entrance was opend and map show us the other door and team asked us to come from the other entrance first impression is bad
• Roshan (9/5): Superb - Very good hotel Lights were not working
• Dinuka (10/5): Exceptional -
