• Jana (7/5): -
• Janith (8/5): Value for Money - Great Location - Hotel J was Value for money. Comfy rooms and a good location (right in front of the beach) made my day. And also a very good breakfast the next day. I got Milk Rice, Sandwiches, Coffee, and Juice. Will come again.
• Kuruppu (8/5): -
• Lauren (9/5): -
• Tallie (9/5): I stayed here for a few nights before a group tour and had the loveliest time.! - The staff made me feel so welcome and nothing was too much - even accommodating my dietary requirements as much as possible. They really helped make my travel easy and comfortable. The pool area is lovely and relaxing, and it’s ideal for the airport or as place to stay before onward travel :) there’s also a rooftop bar for sunset! Some rooms need some TLC but they’re clean and great value :)
• Sakuni (2/5): Not worth the money - Location and the sea view Rooms are very small. Bit dirty and very old interior
• Ismail (10/5): -

• kazr2017 (10/5): Outstanding Service - Perfect location just off beach road Very friendly helpful staff who cant do enough for you. During our overstay there due to conflict in middle east the hotel manager Mr Vimukrhi let us stay for an extra week with no rush for us to leave .His support and care was exceptional throughout. Staff members Roger , Nissansala and Lionei (whose Father Roy also offers a great TukTuk service nearby )also contributed to our amazing stay here .Rooms were spacious clean with a large balcony and a sea view. Tea making facilities and a TV included. This hotel provides a swimming pool with cushioned sunbeds a stones throwaway from the beach where you will find plenty of beach bars and restaurants. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis . The food here at the hotel was excellent and very good value . I would recommend this hotel over and over again . I will definitely return has it offers great service at such a good affordable price . The Sri Lankan people are the most friendliest ive ever met .

• johnwL778NL (10/5): Great place to stay, missing it already! - We recently returned from 2 weeks staying at Hotel J Negombo as part of a TUI package holiday and found it a great place to stay. The breakfast was excellent, particularly the traditional Sri Lankan option, available as vegetarian, and all members of staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Direct access to the beach was ideal for pre breakfast strolls and also a trip on a traditional catamaran. Having a water cooler on each floor meant we didn’t have to buy any plastic bottles. We paid a little extra for a sea view room which is really worth it, we frequently had picnic lunches on the balcony while taking in the view which was also great at sunset. One of the hotel managers put us in touch with a local driver who took us to Dambulla and Anuradhapura stopping en route for king coconut drinks and local baked goods. The hotel provided us with packed breakfast for early morning departures. There were lots of places to eat in the evenings nearby too, so all in all we had a fabulous couple of weeks. Don’t miss Negombo Sunday market while you’re there, great for fruit and shirts!
• foteinil2026 (10/5): Nice hotel! - We had a great one night stop. We loved the view. Everyone was really kind!!!

• Jitka (6/5): Chaotická organizace. Pokoj jsme měli bez balkonu takže nic moc ale postele byli čisté. - Postel byla čistá Na fotkách vypadá lip. Hlučná lokalita, ošklivé moře.
• F754VBdalet (10/5): A great start to my trip - Meeting place for my Intrepid tour. Super great hospitality:)
• 915erar (10/5): Nice Stay. - Nice place. Food was delicious. Helpfull and friendly staff. Thankyou hotel J.
• Chloe (9/5): -
• Kaisa (8/5): Nice place to stay - Very nice hotel. The breakfast was good. WiFi and AC worked really well. We recomment this hotel. They offer water from a big tank. The boss was very nice and helpful. They didn't clean all the rooms everyday. Staff was friendly but a bit slow on some things. For example my door didn't get locked and they fixed it a bit slowly.
• Hardev (8/5): -
• Michelle (9/5): - Swimming pool with beds leading onto the beach Some rooms have no windows
• Usheni (9/5): -
• laurenfM303TD (8/5): A wonderful place to stay! - Overall a really lovely hotel with friendly and attentive staff. The location is perfect in the sense that on one end of the hotel you have the beach and on the other you have the town centre full of shops and restaurants. Our room had a cozy atmosphere. We had a few little flies and mosquitoes flying around in our room but not a problem as we'd brought bug repellent with us and we understand they're difficult to keep away from hotel rooms. The breakfast was amazing with lots of variety to choose from. It has a good pool area which we made the most of too!
• crystalrD3759GL (10/5): Great hotel! - Very nice hotel and friendly staff, especially Kalana who has been very helpful during our stay. Location is fantastic, close to restaurants and shops.

• Melanie (8/5): - Schönes Hotel mit toller Lage direkt am Strand von Negombo. Saubere Zimmer und gutes Frühstück. Lediglich der Service war langsam, wenn auch höflich und bemüht. Oben auf dem Hotel ist eine Rooftop Bar mit schönem Ausblick, besonders bei Sonnenuntergang.
• ishan (1/5): Dont stay - Nothing Everything
• Nothburg (5/5): Aufenthalt für ein paar Stunden, maximal eine Nacht aushaltbar. - Nähe zu Flughafen, Rooftop-Terrasse, sehr nettes Personal Zimmer mit Meerblick: Tag und Nacht lief ein extrem lauter Generator vom Nachbarhotel. Alle anderen Zimmer hatten grausame Ausblicke auf Seitenstraße oder auf hässlichen Bau des Nachbarhotels. Nachts liefen Kakalaken im Treppenhaus herzm.
• Daniel (9/5): Three night stay in January 2026 - I stayed here at the start and end of an organised tour of Sri Lanka and both times were great. It was inexpensive, the rooms ideal for a bed and washroom, the staff were super friendly and helpful and the location is great with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The pool area is great to chill out, the food and drink options are a decent quality. Id recommend for a few nights of staying in Negomba. N/A
• Rachel (8/5): Great and I would stay here again. - It was the perfect place to recover after a long flight. It is a little bit dated but you pay for that.
• Juho (9/5): Good value for money and location - Cozy and reasonably sized hotel on the beach. Good location considering the services in Negombo. Short drive to the airport. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was good and the views, service and staff from the rooftop bar were great.
• pclarijs (10/5): Amazing hotel with nice staff - Lovely people! Very nice and clean hotel. Right next to the beach, so perfect for a walk along the beach. Also with a nice rooftop bar!!
• Mubashir (6/5): -
• Holly (7/5): For the price, this hotel was good. Great location. Breakfast was delicious for being included. Rooftop bar a highlight. - Rooftop bar Food- breakfast was fantastic and ordering ala cart at other times, food was delicious Location View Great budget hotel, value for money Pool- so cloudy could not see bottom and would not let our kids swim in it, very disappointing things needed fixed- safety box, tv, shampoo dispenser, ceiling fan, lights burned out, etc…
• Indunil (7/5): -
• Faraz (8/5): - The location is right next to the beach. The eating area is also quite nice with a pool nearby. The room wasn't modern. It had mosquitos and bedsheets were thin. Facilities were what you'd expect from a 3 star hotel on a budget.
• Henk (7/5): Verouderd hotel aan zee. - Het rooftop restaurant/bar was een mooie extra. Mooi uitzicht, aardig personeel. De kamer was behoorlijk verouderd Balkondeur sluit niet goed. Tv en airco werkten niet. Wc bril los,
• Natalya (6/5): - The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helphul. The hotel (not a room!) in general reminds rather kids or students campus
• Melker (7/5): -
• Christa (7/5): Gutes Hotel in der Nähe des Flughafens - Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vor allem möchten wir uns ausdrücklich bei Vimukthi bedanken für sein Engagement für uns. Es war teilweise recht laut. Das Hotel ist recht hellhörig durch das offene Treppenhaus.
• Ståhl (8/5): -
• Jane (8/5): -
• Taryn (8/5): -
• Sarah (4/5): Great location, but way too expensive for what it is. - Great location, lovely pool area and rooftop bar. Staff super friendly and helpful. Massively overpriced for what is essentially a hostel.
• Müller-Ostermaier (4/5): - Die Lage in der Nähe vom Strand Die Ausstattung und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis in der gebuchten Kategorie
• Taryn (8/5): Great location and staff - The pool and staff were lovely. The roof top bar has beautiful sunset views. The location is good, close to shops and restaurants nearby. There is a taxi and tour service right across the road that offer alot. The breakfasts were tasty.
• Rosalie (8/5): -
• Sylwia (10/5): -
• 524michalf (10/5): Family trip - Very nice hotel. Great swimming pool. The receptionist, Kalana helped us a lot whenever we came to him. The beach next to the hotel is great as well.
• weerasinghe (9/5): - The sea view .
• Nafis M. (7/5): -
• Taryn (9/5): - It was a lovely spot for a family. Close to restaurants and shopping. The basic room is a little smaller than I expected but still great value for money. The pool facilities were nice and towels are provided.
• Suomalainen (8/5): First day in Sri Lanka - Friendly staff, good location at the beach, good breakfast Quite pricey for the quality
• Syed kumael (2/5): - The location is 6/10 Over priced for what's being offered My room had no window.. Had a very faul smell as well.
• Tara (5/5): was ok, but can Improve quite a few things. - Right on beach front, nice sunset views. Rooftop bar that can watch sunset from. Breakfast was very tasty and staff were friendly. I got over charged by $50usd for the booking then what I had booked through booking.com didn’t notice till after I left and checked my card payment. When arrived was late and frazzled so didn’t notice. I have messaged them will be interesting to see if refund me the difference. Locals can just walk right in from the beach area, to the hotel pool, relax area, a man who came was not staying at the hotel came in and sat right next on a deck chair where I was lying in my swimmers sun baking, and started annoying me, telling me he was a life guard on the beach. Made me feel very uncomfortable, especially the fact travelling on my own, he left after I ignored him a bit, but beed to be a bit strictest about who’s comes into the pool area, if not a guest at the hotel. Also lock on room did not lock properly from the inside of my room, had a bar that kind of locked room but considering I was on first level and anyone could easily walk in to the hotel didn’t feel that safe. Sheets also had marks on them, were clean as smelt washed, but felt a little dirty due to the marks on them. Some staff seem a little to relaxed.
• binupae (10/5): Amazing and incredible value for money - Amazing experience, the staff working were kind and friendly. They were always ready to lend a hand, the location is just perfect. The food and drinks are definitely worth it, well sized portions with amazing prices. The rooms were nothing short of excellent and the overall atmosphere especially on the rooftop was magical. A must visit place, highly recommend. Great value for money.
• Tyronne (7/5): Hotel J was a pleasant stay for a night or two. It’s located right next to the ocean. - Breakfast was good, a selection of Sri Lankan food. We were upgraded to a sea facing room and the view was pleasant. Correspondence from the hotel was not good.
• aravindan2018 (10/5): Nice stay with good value for money. - The location is easily accessible and the environment is fine. Near the beach and a good view from the rooftop. Rooms were clean and spacious. Good value for money and the atmosphere of the hotel was good. The parking space was ok.

• nika (7/5): -
• pjas592 (10/5): Friendly staff, vibrant decor - My sister and I started our Intrepid tour here, very clean, tidy, cool vibrant decor. Lovely breakfast you order that I prefer (not buffet style) and very friendly staff (especially Kalana) available to help 24/7. Rooftop deck was an added bonus!
• radeshv (10/5): Splendid Holiday - Good experience, helpful staff, amazing food and very clean. Was a great getaway with my family! Will definitely come back.
• danielle (8/5): - Good location, clean rooms, comfy bed and pillows. Lovely pool and garden area. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. I booked a basic double room. On the website there was no mention that these rooms have no windows. I would not have booked it if I’d known. I asked for a different room and they gave me a free upgrade to a room with a balcony.
• Georgia (4/5): Rough - It was close to the airport. The staff were very loud and it was extremely disruptive during the evening. They were shouting, singing and it sounded like they were running around the hotel. Very inappropriate and unprofessional.
• jiyoung5791 (10/5): Had a lovely stay - The place was nice, budget friendly place with very attentive staff and very cosy atmosphere. Rooms very clean, well maintained and the beds were so comfy. The food was lovely and I enjoyed every bite 😁 It's in a convenient spot near the beach to go for a little walk or to go to the main roads where the restaurants are.
• rayhanaj2019 (10/5): Clean and Calm hotel - My friend and I went to negombo on the weekend at stayed at hotel J negombo. The staff were extremely kind and hospitable. The food was good and the ambience was very calm .

• Russell_246 (10/5): Amazing Stay at Hotel J Negombo. - I spent 3 nights at Hotel J Negombo and I was very surprise and please with the overall accommodation and quality of service. Excellent value for the price. The room was spacious, clean and the bed very comfortable. The location was great as well as it's located near restaurants, spas, souvenir shops, supermarkets, ATMS etc. You are basically in walking distance of everything. Although it's very central to a lot of amenities it's still a very tranquil atmosphere. So you can definitely get some rest and relaxation. It's also located on the beach so that's a huge plus. There's also a nice pool, outdoor umbrellas and loungers if lounging poolside is more your vibe. In terms of meals I enjoyed all the meals served. There's also a rooftop bar which is perfect to have dinner or just sip on some cocktails and view the sunset. I truly enjoyed my stay here. I would definitely come again and recommend it to anyone staying in the Negombo area. I would also like to commend the wonderful staff especially Kalana, Theekshana, Nisansala and Leoni. They were all so pleasant and helpful. Also helping with recommendations and giving valuable insight on any queries I had. They made my stay very memorable. Continue to keep up the good work.
• elgvickery (10/5): Great stay - Had a really nice lunch at Hotel J whilst I’m negombo, great food and was served by Kalana who was really helpful, friendly and attentive!
• IVAN (1/5): - Nada Habitacion inundada y no nos cambiaron. El gerente decia que venia y no venia, decia que iba a hacer algo y no lo hacia, un mentiroso. Permiten fumar en el restaurante siendo cerrado y no dicen nada y pague la cena sin cenar y me tuve que ir. La comida alli es un asco, solo aceite y aceite y aceite, malo, con mal sabor y en cantidades industriales. Y ni siquiera te preguntan que tal la comida o por que no la has comido, les importa 0!!! Ducha sin agua caliente el primer dia. Terraza bloqueada sin poder usarla. En fin, todo un desastre, intentamos cambiarnos a otro a última hora de la noche. Y carísimo!!! Fueron 70€ la noche cuando al dia siguiente estuvimos en uno de lujo, impecable, enorme y espectacular pagando lo mismo.

• Nira (6/5): Central Location -with Parking - Location is central and sea view is calming. Car parking was secure. Did not swim in the sea this time, as it was rough to even dip into. Leonie was pleasant and showed the room. The shower gel and shampoo was good quality and appreciated this. I like the Jetwing Hotels due to their focus on Sustainability. We visited Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions for a massage and relaxed there with a Iramasu Tea which was very pleasant. Manager at Jetwing Pavilion was welcoming and had excellent communication. Staff can be trained to serve the customers & improve their communication skills. Check in did not go smoothly.Took too long and the incorrect machine was used for the local card. There was a discrepancy between Booking stated amount including taxes on the app in US$ and what the Hotel wanted to charge. My friend requested help with her luggage but no one helped from the room to the lobby or even from the lobby to the car. Crows attacked the left over breakfast of customers as staff were not vigilant. I phoned twice before arrival to request a twin room and my calls were not answered or after answering it was dropped and when answered he did not return the call as promised.
