• Prasad (8/5): -
• Judith (10/5): - So convenient to airport. Owners are lovely people ready to help in any way. Loved the free ride to our very early ride to airport. There was nothing not to like. It's just a simple place for 1 night stopover to or from airport.
• Jan (10/5): - Great people, perfect place near to airport.
• Angela (10/5): Perfect for first or last night stay in country - The perfect place for an overnight stay near the airport. Very Clean, comfortable and convenient. I liked everything.
• Didier (10/5): Maison d’hôtes magnifique - Le couple qui nous a reçu est adorable et le Monsieur nous a même accompagné à l’aéroport à 4h du matin. Exceptionnel Rien
• Stephanie (10/5): Perfect place after a long flight - Beautiful peaceful little spot ideal when we landed late. The hosts stayed up late to greet us. They were very kind. Nothing
• Mai (8/5): - 夜遅いフライトだったけど、オーナーが親切で笑顔で迎えてくれて救われました。 シャワーにお湯がなかった(操作がわからなかっただけかも)
• Mark (7/5): -
• ward (10/5): - Fabulous couple who looked after us
• Archie (10/5): Great location close to the airport, with clean and comfortable room and welcoming hosts - Clean, comfy bed, room had AC and mosquito nets. Great location close to the airport (less than 5 minute taxi). We only stayed here a night but it had everything we needed and was convenient. The hosts are very kind and were up to meet us at 11pm, assisting with tips on onward travel.
• Iain (10/5): -
• Alissa (10/5): Schöne Unterkunft, um Nahe am Flughafen zu sein - Wir haben eine Nacht in dem Hotel verbracht, da es mit dem Auto nur wenige Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt liegt. Es ist keine schöne Gegend, um Urlaub zu machen, aber es war für uns ideal, um am nächsten Tag ganz früh zum Flughafen zu fahren. Es gibt einen schönen ruhigen grünen Innenhof, der mit einem Tor eingezäunt ist,wodurch man sich sehr sicher fühlt, da es definitiv keine touristische Gegend ist und man sich außerhalb (vielleicht aber auch grundlos) etwas unsicher fühlt. Der Besitzer war wirklich sehr freundlich. Hat uns um 4.30 Uhr in der Früh kostenlos zum Flughafen gefahren. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Hatte Klimaanlage, Ventilator, TV und Moskitonetz zur Verfügung. Schönes sauberes Badezimmer. Würden wieder dort buchen! Die Gegend außerhalb. War aber auch unwichtig, da es um die Nähe zum Flughafen ging :)

• ilhan (9/5): -
• Alicja (7/5): - Ładna stara willa w otoczeniu zieleni. Lokalizacja blisko lotniska i transfer na lotnisko wliczony w cenę noclegu. Pomimo wczesnej godziny wyjazdu właściciel zawiózł nas na lotnisko.
• Laura (10/5): -
• Pshabi (9/5): - The place is historic (150 years old/4th generation home), with a pretty garden and very clean with modern facilities. Though we landed at 1.30 am in the night, the wonderfully hospitable owner was up and awake to receive us. 5 stars just for that. Everything was great.
• ward (10/5): -
• Tracey (5/5): All good for a night before going to the airport lovely owners very friendly comfy clean bed - Homely, nice gardens easy location to the airport Basic hot Bathroom, dirty cups no coffee quite tired, had to pay with cash and when trying to leave the island to go home was a pain to get right cash and payback too
• Lye Kin (9/5): Beautiful house, lovely garden and a very sweet couple owner-resident. Highly recommended. - We appreciated the smooth and warm welcome check in especially when we arrived past midnight. Beautiful and well kept 140 year old residence with beautiful garden. We stayed less than twelve hours but it was a very nice introduction to Sri Lanka. There was nothing to dislike but the mosquitos were huge. A token welcome basket of snacks such as biscuits or bread rolls would be much appreciated, more a gesture than a necessity.

• ray (8/5): Surprising gem at the end of our holiday - This is a family home
• Udo (7/5): Sehr praktisch wegen Flughafennähe - Wegen kurzer Entfernung zum Flughafen gute Option bei später Ankunft oder früher Abreise. Eigentümer brachte ich früh am Morgen zum Flughafen.

• Bert (10/5): Geweldig verblijf - Fantastisch landhuis op een stille plek in een hectische omgeving. Niets

• Krzysztof (9/5): - Dom, meble, ogród . Bez wad
• HIROYUKI (10/5): とても快適で良いステイになりました。 - 1880年に建てられた建物。素敵なファニチャーもちらほら。ホストは優しく出迎えてくれ、笑顔とホスピタリティに溢れていて、到着するなりコールドドリンクのサービスもあった。お庭には様々な植物があり綺麗に手入れされていたし、部屋も非常に綺麗に整えられていたので快適に過ごすことが出来た。アメニティなどはなく石鹸のみだが、値段もリーズナブルなのでコストパフォーマンスが高く、空港から非常に近いのでとても便利です。 入室時に大量の蚊がいたが、日本から持参したスプレーですぐに解決しました。
• Guest (8/5): Safe, peaceful accommodations near the airport. - Beautiful historic house close to the airport. The couple living here are very friendly and kind, and were happy to accommodate my late arrival (11 PM). Very quiet. The room is a bit plain, but for an overnight before catching a connecting flight, it was perfectly fine.
• Elodie (10/5): -
• Masazumi (10/5): - 深夜便までの短期滞在だが、築140年の伝統的な民家を体験できる。オーナーの人柄がとても良い。空港まで送迎してもらえる。 現金のみ。要注意。

• Tr (10/5): Would recommend!!! - Best stay in colombo! Nothing
• Amy (10/5): Too short a stay but we will be back! - This was a very short overnight stay, but it was simply lovely. The family are very welcoming and kind, the rooms are clean, cool and comfortable, the gardens are beautiful and the location is perfect for the airport (5 mins by car!) but incredibly peaceful Nothing, it was really lovely
• Louis (9/5): Beautiful house and garden, convenient for the airport - Really friendly and welcoming hosts Very convenient location for the airport (but not too loud from it) and the hosts drove us to the airport for our flights even at 05:30 Beautiful garden plus 2 friendly and cuddly dogs Limited food options within walking distance - best to get a tuktuk to a decent restaurant No card facilities so we had to get cash out (there are ATMs within walking distance though)
• Wolfgang (8/5): Very good - The owners are wonderful and helpful people, I arrived late due to a missed flight and was welcomed warmly. Nice big garden and heritage architecture and interior round it up. The smell of mothballs remind me of my childhood...;)) Nothing as was just for one short night, but if you need a hotel close to CMB airport I would always recommend No. 53
• Bu (10/5): Excellent . - Beautiful quiet gardens and home . The family looked after us so well especially welcoming us in at midnight and feeding us up with a delicious breakfast before we headed off on a long trip up north Nothing

• Beau (10/5): Genuinely real people - The owners of the property was the kindest souls ever helped us heaps Nothing
• Grit (9/5): A green oasis close to the airport - A beautiful 140 year old family home with the 4th generation living there. Super close proximity to airport and still a green oasis. Warm welcome by the owners who made sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable.
• Göksu (9/5): A perfect overnight stay if you have a flight to catch the following day. - Cozy property with lovely hosts. Really enjoyed listening about the history of the old estate. The hosts are super kind and helpful. It is located strategically close to the airport.

Our room was very comfortable, good air con. The house is 140 years old in the same family, and a beautiful garden to enjoy. Breakfast is not provided, but there is a small supermarket and bakery about 10 mns walk. Breakfast is not provided, but there is a small supermarket and bakery about 10 mns walk
• Charles (10/5): A traditional home right next to the airport but worth staying longer - Picked this hotel only because it was near to the airport and had a better rating than the normal airport hotels. Felt guilty that we arrived late in the evening and flew out early in the morning - the hotel (more of a guest house) is fantastic!!! Run by a tremendously friendly and welcoming couple, it is an old house that has been in the family for 200 years and oozes with tradition. Although its geographic location is perfect for the airport and not really near anything else, it would not be too far to take a tuk tuk or car to the beach or into Colombo, and we thought that if we maybe stayed here longer it might have made a good base. Good wifi too. Nothing not to like. Maybe it's not so convenient for anything other than the airport, but I could see it as a good base for a stay of a couple of days to be able to come back after a busy day to this tranquil and homely place.
• Janice (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): Would recommend to anybody for place to stay if needing to go to the airport - What a little hidden gem, what amazing hosts Mosquitoes

• Sebastian (9/5): Superb - Very friendly staff and the proximity to the air port is very convenient. They took us to the air port in the morning free of charge. It was slightly difficult to find after dusk, but after a quick call to the hotel we arrived safely.
• Roy (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful property & accommodations. Owners took us to the airport late in the evening to catch our airline flight. Perfect.
• Mehul (7/5): Good - Location close to the airport and it's a nice quiet old property. Also, the family that owns the property was quite helpful No option for breakfast
