Guest Reviews

• dushan (8/5): -
• CheeWee (6/5): Low water Pressure - The beach is just opposite the resort. Crossing a train trail will reach Lavinia beach. Few restaurants along the beach. 30mnts to the city centre by Tuttut. Staff is friendly and helpful. I got no small note to pay TutTut, the staff borrow me some small notes to settle the bill. Room cleans, cozy and cold. The water pressure is Really Low!! Takes time to get bath and the water is cold even heater is on. Slow wifi. Small ants crawling in the bathroom and on the desk.
• Fernando (8/5): Unser Aufenthalt im Hotel war angenehm, Essen wurde frisch zubereitet und das Personal war nett . - Die Lage ist direkt am Strand , man muss lediglich die Bahnschienen überqueren . Das Essen im Hotel ist sehr gut und reichhaltig . Das Personal ist freundlich. Ein Föhn und einer kleiner Kühlschrank wären eine Bereicherung.
• Gabriela (6/5): -
• Guest (8/5): -
• Jeewa (9/5): - Staff very impressive None
• MR. (8/5): -
• Rebecca (10/5): Excellent. - Great hotel with a very comfortable, clean room with a hot shower! Location minutes from the beach and by the train line. Easy access to Colombo by Grab, train and bus, and we used here as a base for visiting the city. We stayed an extra night as a Grab to the airport only took an hour. Great staff who were friendly and helpful and we ate at the hotel for breakfast and dinner at very reasonable prices. A sociable area for sitting downstairs with a pool table. We would stay again if in the area. Perhaps the management might consider daily water in the rooms but this is nitpicking!
• Elke (7/5): -
• Ruslana (8/5): You can enjoy great view from the balcony of your room number! - Nice and very kind stuff! Wonderful location, tasty food, 5 min to the beach, groceries and bus stations are 10 min by foot from the hotel.
• Ulla (8/5): -
• Francis (7/5): - Nice location near the beach About an hour from CMB Airport The hotel in general was a little rundown and is in need of a refurbishment I did not like walking in the front door and having a pool table greet me.
• Syed Umair (9/5): -
• Tor (8/5): -
• hoomantoo (8/5): - Good location near sugar beach , good respectful staff A bit close to the railway line
• Janine (8/5): - Sauberes Zimmer, ausreichende Größe , sehr nettes Personal, gutes Essen, toller Strand Niedriger Wasserdruck, Eisenbahn fährt direkt vor dem Haus, fährt aber nachts nicht
• Marije Elisa (7/5): - Vriendelijke personeel, prima kamer met balkon. Ja de trein dendert meermaals per dag langs het hotel en dat hoort en voel je in je kamer, maar dat weet je als je een hotel naast een spoor boekt 😅 je loopt het spoor over en staat op het strand. Verder is er weinig te doen in de omgeving Je kan er ontbijten, lunchen, dineren. Basic maar prima.
• Sahan (9/5): -
• Ulrich (9/5): Absolut empfehlenswert!!! - Gute Lage nah am Strand. Sehr freundliches Personal macht alles möglich. Die Nähe zu der Bahnstrecke läßt die Züge gefühlt durchs Zimmer fahren. Ich fands nett. Empfindliche Menschen könnten sich daran stören.
• Peter (9/5): -
• Preziosi (10/5): -
• Christian (9/5): - Sehr gutes Essen und gute Lage. Eisenbahn sehr nah fährt aber nicht in der Nacht.
• slavik (8/5): - Personal byl super. Vybavení by chtělo opravit. Špatně odtékalo umyvadlo, a klimatizace fungovala jen na 20%.
• Ulla (10/5): - Perfect place by the beach and still near Colombo
• Glory Tour by Tuk Tuk (5/5): - Location is good staff good food is ok but room in side no TV so very boring other evening is ok.
• Ganidu (9/5): fallen for the place. I will visit again . - the silence around and the clam vibe that given through the atmosphere around, the point we were check in we were calmly welcomed to the place and gave clear instructions as a usual manner. what I totally noticed was the place is good if someone willing be clam and better vibe which I also wanted, foods are there I tried them also great. well cleaned. specially the washrooms are properly maintained. there rooms are big enough, the roof top also a great place to rest the night. i think that the view and the vibe so unique to the place when I compare other hotels around. Trains, Sea, beach in a single frame.

• Justyna (9/5): - bardzo dobry pobyt, wygodnie, czysto, ultra blisko plaży, super parking, piękny taras na górze
• Karl-Heinz (7/5): -
• Sara (10/5): - La disponibilità del personale e la posizione vicino alla spiaggia.
• Di (9/5): A great place in a good location. - Room number 1: Spacious, balcony, great location just a 1 minute walk from the beach, a restaurant and a rooftop bar with a nice view of the beach and sunset, friendly staff, big bed. The trains passing by just next to the hotel are quite noisy.
• sandra (9/5): -
• sandra (8/5): We only stayed for one night. As the main door was locked on the ground floor when we left at 7am, we leafy through the - Great location The dogs lying on the sofas in the reception area ... but that is just me.
• Ranin (10/5): -
• Waldemar (10/5): Gute Lage für einen Zwischenstopp - Das Zimmer war sauber und die Lage war sehr. Alles gut zu erreichen. Wir haben nach unserer Ankunft auf Sri Lanka hier einen Zwischenstopp für zwei Nächte eingelegt. Alles top
• Polina (10/5): -
• Lachlan (9/5): - Clean and comfortable rooms, with incredibly helpful staff, and tasty breakfast!! Located right near the train line, so there is noise coming very often through the night. It didn’t bother me personally, but might irritate some people.
• Loes (9/5): -
• Annette (10/5): Super für Strandaufenrhalt wenn man nicht weit von Colombo entfernt sein möchte - Rooftop mit Blick auf das Meer, authentisches dinner, nette Vermieterin Krach der Eisenbahn
• Patrick (8/5): - You get what you pay for...great staff as always in Sri Lanka, OK room, good breakfast...we're old...excellent if you're younger All ok
• Denis (6/5): - The staff were incredibly friendly and always quick to resolve any questions or issues that came up. There were a few issues in the room: the water in the shower was barely running, there was no shampoo provided, and the balcony looked quite worn and shabby.
• Stephen (9/5): Great beachside stay close to Colombo - Clean, friendly and helpful staff - even our very late check in. Don’t miss the breakfast on the rooftop with a view over the train line to the beach.
• Johannes (9/5): Geweldig. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. - Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is prima. De eigenaar spreekt geweldig Engels. Hij kookt zelf en dat doet hij echt geweldig. Zelden zo lekkere Kottu gegeten. Personeel is zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk.
• Srijeevahan (7/5): -
• Julieta (10/5): Alojamiento muy recomendable - Personal del alojamiento muy atentos Nos gusto todo
• jimi (9/5): - Personeel was super aardig, kamer zag er ook vrij goed uit. Badkamer had een beetje schimmel op het plafond en stonk een beetje. Ook zit je heel dichtbij het spoor en komt de trein vrij vaak langs dus die hoor je goed

• Lester (10/5): Fabulous comfortable stay and owner Steph's the best! Thank you. - Fabulous roof-top terrace. Great food, superb staff and ideal location. ---
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Professionally managed, friendly and attentive staff. Perfect location.

• Thomas (9/5): Superb -
• Prabuddha (8/5): Very good -
• Adam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robey (8/5): Very good -
• Apurba (8/5): It was a good stay. - The property is about 50m from beach. One can enjoy the view of the Indian Ocean from the rooftop while enjoying food. There's a train track running close and is a source of entertainment. Every time a train passes, we were running to the balcony like kids. Breakfast is not included. All meals have to be paid, which is fine. The Chef Madhu is a good cook. He customised the menu for our Indian taste. The owner Mrs. Stephanie is very cordial, always smiling, and is a professional. She works personally and supervised most of the works. It was our last place of stay in Sri Lanka, and we rested a lot. Made a couple of visits to the beach and the city. The city is located about 15 km. Tuk Tuks and Cars are available and we used Uber. The floor of room 2 and 3 are made of very old tiles.
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Khannanova (10/5): A decent place to stay overnight, you get what you pay for - The receptionist was exceptionally understanding and accommodating. I stayed here on the st Valentine's night before my flight and the receptionist warned me that the hotel was fully booked and might be loud due to the celebration, but i didn't hear anything and had a great sleep before my departure
• Jackie (9/5): Superb - Nice room with balcony and view. Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to the beach. It would be nice to have a kettle in the room.
• Nadia (7/5): Good - could check in in the middle of the night. close to the beach
• Biron (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wes (7/5): A fair price for an ok room. - Great location with a few steps over the railway track to the beach, The small balcony offered a good view of the sea. Not sure why it's a 'deluxe' room..? No TV , no tea making facilities , lights above the bed and on the balcony didn't work.
• Weerakoon (8/5): Thank you very much for my stay. Much appreciated. Thank you for keeping my medicine in your fridge. - The staff were very helpful and polite. The breakfast was very good. No problem at all with check in and check out.
• Weerakoon (8/5): Thanks for the stay. Staff were very helpful. Much appreciated. - Enjoyable Sri Lankan breakfast. Good quality It would have been very helpful if the hot water heater was turned on 1 hour before my arrival.
• Lotta (10/5): Perfect place and well maintained - The hospitality, closeness to the clean beach and restaurants, lovely breakfast! Good wifi as well Railway, it is close everywhere in the area but you get used to it.
• Amanda (10/5): An enjoyable, relaxing & welcoming environment to start our holiday - It was clean, well run & all the staff were friendly & helpful
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - The Mount Bay Guesthouse became our second home! We stayed there twice during our stay in Sri Lanka - 2 minutes away from the beach. At our arrival the owners Steph and Sam welcomed us with open hearts and hospitality at its best! The rooms are very clean, the service is excellent and in the guesthouse has also a nice restaurant with the best and friendliest chef. Sam is also doing his own chili sauce, so spice lovers can just ask for a little extra spice for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The new menu is excellent, good portioned and the food tastes like heaven. I can really recommend the whole fish - super fresh and spicy! The whole staff was super nice and helped us with anything from transfers or recommendations for things to do! We became instant friends and discovered so many things in common. They even took us to the pool at the Mount Lavinia Hotel and introduced us to their friends. We had an incredibly good time and laughed a lot. That‘s why they invited us for their NYE party at the rooftop of the guesthouse (free entry), which has an excellent view on the beach. Amazing people, tasty food, good music and a nice view on the fireworks - what a blast! Thank you, dear Sam and Steph! You and your guesthouse have touched our hearts! Keep this spirit up and hope to see you soon! This was definitely not our last visit!
• Jill (8/5): Very good - Very nice staff, clean , simple guest house with a great roof top terrace with a view of lavinia beach. Its a 1min walk across the train line to the beach, the beach has some rubbish but u are on the cleaner side. Its set in a local area with a variety of restaurants on the beach/main road. A good choice for a night or two travelling through Colombo. Sooo.. these are the things that some people might not like. - the train noise, the line runs along the hotel, the line runs all the way down the coast , so if you want to be close to the beach you will hear trains.(we actually loved watching the trains go by). - the water pump on the roof will refill when ever anyone uses water, this was noisy in our room , we fixed the problem at night by using earplugs. - the WiFi was poor. -The beer and beverages weren't cold.(fridge needs turning up/replacing?)
• Chamila (10/5): Exceptional - It's just a small hotel, but clean and lovely hotel. it feels very comfortable and cool. The facilities are very convenient. They have everything you need, and the hotel is also near the beach. This gives me a comfortable and satisfying experience when I stay there for 3 days and food also delicious.
• Suzie (10/5): Great stay & location, lovely hosts, clean rooms & facilities. - We had a great stay at MountBaylk! The rooms are recently renovated & really clean. The bathroom was also fantastic. The food is some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka thus far. Steph & Sam provided so many great recommendations of places & sites to visit across the country. The hotel is well situated just behind the beach, with amazing views (particularly at sunset) from the rooftop. Thanks Sam & Steph - would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Colombo, and would definitely stay again.
• Grace (10/5): Great new find - Great service checkin seamless Temperature of shower
• Deepak (9/5): Superb -
• Azmil (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alla (10/5): I absolutely loved my stay at Mount Bay Guest House! For me, it’s always about the people, and they were simply amazing. - The rooms were clean, cozy, and well maintained, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay! The location is unbeatable, right on the first line, close to the beach bars and within easy reach of everything you might need. All of this came at very fair price, which made it even better. ❤️
• Lakshan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dayan (9/5): Superb - Everything! Just one incident one room on the top floor has leakage from the a/c, which could be easily fixed.
• Adam (9/5): Affordable and friendly hotel - Nice little boutique style hotel close to beaches and nearby amenities
• Dayan (9/5): Superb -
• Patrick (9/5): Spacious room, pleasant vibe, clean and convenient - Spacious room, pleasant vibe, clean and convenient. The place offered all that we needed. We did not have time for breakfast, but they do have a menu with a variety of meals to choose from. Will surely come again.
• Muhammed (9/5): More Value for Money - Good and perfect - Lovely location with well cleaned rooms and spacious washroom and toilet and very responsive host. Beautiful View of sea from Balcony and Super speed internet. Also can order food from them and it’s good . Also arranged a free parking thank you for that. Nothing negative only it will be good for guests if having a small refrigerator and a TV but it’s not a big issue though compared to all positive things from this place
• Zeynep (7/5): Good - Lovely decorated lobby, big rooms, functioning facilities The location, you can reach the city easily by tuk tuk but the hotel is squeezed between buildings in a not so beautiful area
• Jerry (8/5): Basic guesthouse close to the beach - Room size was good. 1 minute from beach across the railway tracks. Kindly allowed me a late ( 3 pm) checkout I am not a dog lover so the guesthouse dogs did not add to my experience....but I understand they would be attractive to canine loving people (to be fair they were very well behaved!) WiFi was variable
• Ursula (9/5): Superb - Perfect place to stay if you want to be close to the airport or Colombo City and don't want to stay in Negombo or Colombo Centre itself; very clean, spacious and bright room; felt very secure; just across the railway to the beach; very friendly and helpful staff; their café does very good food for a very reasonable price as well. I would definitely stay there again.
• Bridget (9/5): Great staff and beach views - The staff were very attentive and friendly, we really appreciated their help and hospitality. The location was excellent, right near the beach and the sea was visible from the balcony. The air conditioning functioned well and the room was clean. The guesthouse is located next to some train tracks, though we were not too disturbed by the noise.
• Wijesundara (8/5): Very good -
• Lívia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sihem (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly host, clean room and great breakfast
• Vmnds (8/5): Nice place in Mount Lavinia - Beach view from balcony was some un expected delight! Very nice… Check in was discturbed with phone calls which felt like unwelcoming & time waste.
• Liviu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jegatheesan (10/5): Good experience! They cooked the food I like for lunch - Very nice hotel , worth for money and staff are very nice and flexible, you can ask anything you wish they will try to do their best! There are only 6 rooms available! Otherwise one of the best places in Colombo ! Almost nothing! I
• Marcos (7/5): Good -
• Muditha (9/5): Superb - Calm and quiet place. Good times. Please don't go to the restaurant named 'Sugar Beach' that is located in front of the hotel (facing beach). Foods are not tasty and not value for money.
• Linda (8/5): Great beach which we will come back to visit next time. - No breakfast, one of the few that didn't have it included in price so therefore we felt it was a bit overpriced. Owner manager and staff were very friendly, restaurant we went to across the train tracks was great but expensive when compared to everywhere else we have been. Great beach within walking distance and in front of restaurant. Location great for beach, but we were only here one night. They arranged for tuk tuk to take us to the train. Even though the view doesn't look the greatest from the deck and you have to walk across the railway line to the restaurant and beach this is Sri Lanka. Overnight stay only so can't comment. Room and bed good. For the price compared to everywhere we have stayed I think breakfast should have been included for the price.
• Kerry (10/5): Great homestay, hosts, and value. - We had an amazing stay here. The hosts, Sam and Steph, are the most kind, welcoming people you could meet. The staff are very helpful, nothing was a problem for them. The Sri Lankan omelette for breakfast was the best I'd had in the three weeks of travelling the country. Mount Bay Guest House rooms have all that you would expect at more expensive hotels. All the boxes are ticked. A very comfortable stay. Nothing to dislike. Great home stay.
• Mariia (10/5): Exceptional - Great hotel with very friendly hosts. Everything what you need- you can just ask and staff will help you! Looking forward to come back again! Thank you!❤️ Everything was good
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Kyra (8/5): Very good -
• Lmally (9/5): Clean and Comfy - Lovely clean and spacious room. We spent 2 comfortable nights. Good beach restaurant, a 5 min walk. We enjoy Jo Jo's place. Friendly host. We didn't have breakfast here, but were able to buy morning tea. We had a nice big balcony. And the AC/fan combo worked brilliantly. The doors didn't close so well so the train noise was very loud.
