Charming Property with a Pool
We love to stay at this place. Beautifully furnished, a little oasis in busy Colombo. Senerath, the caretaker, is utterly amazing. We always feel very at home.

Bellèn Villa
Beautiful and spacious home near to great restaurants and beaches. Highly recommend!!

The Breeze Residence, Kottawa
This is the 3rd time we are staying at Namal’s beautiful home. As always Namal is a great host and excellent service and support. Sumudu is a great caretaker. This will be our go to place whenever we visit Sri Lanka. Thank you Namal

Apartment in Colombo: Cozy Two Bedroom Apartment
A very "cozy" apartment indeed: it suited our family of 3 adults perfectly. Amazing views & ambience. The apartment is located in a very central part of Colombo with easy access to many eateries, hotels & shopping outlets. There is a supermarket directly opposite the apartment building, which was extremely convenient. The apartment building had excellent security staff, who were so very kind & obliging, a BIG THANK YOU to them for helping us with all our luggage & shopping bags at varied intervals & also helping us safely navigate the many cabbies we travelled with.😀 The owner of the apartment was flexible with check-in & check-out times which was so helpful. He even met us at the apartment when we checked in way early in the morning. Disappointingly the wifi in the apartment was very unreliable. All other appliances including the washing machine & hot water system worked fine though, no problems. A fantastic holiday stay all in all! 🌸

SAMUDRA HOUSE by the beach
Great location, and more than I expected. We had a great time and the host was really good at checking in on us and making the whole trip smooth. He taught how to turn on the POOL JACUZZI!! It was amazing! The bed sheets and towels were brand new or felt new! The space was spotless. We walked right across to the beach and had some amazing food! Surprise is mentioned the hosts name and you get some great service. Everyone seems to know him! The backyard is really quiet and you can have a lovely drink in the Gazebo overlooking the pool. This was a great find! I would recommend this for single and family visitors! Sri Lanka is amazing and the host is a true island hospitality king! We felt safe in the house and the neighborhood. Great WiFi and fully stocked kitchen! Bathrooms were spotless and great shower pressure. We loved it all and wished we stayed longer.

Charming Retreat with Pool in Maharagama, Colombo
We had a good stay at this property. It was fully-equipped and had all the convenience. Communication was good too.

The Hydeaway
Sebastian’s place was a great place to unwind after lots of flights… arrived late at night. Spent 2 nights so a whole day to chill. Pool was lovely and great size, set amongst a lovely tropical garden. Sebastian was so SO helpful and we asked lots of annoying questions. BREAKFAST WAS DELICIOUS. His driver Mr Neluka that he had suggested was super lovely, great English and gave us heaps of info. Drove us to Kandy via elephant orphanage. We had a fab lunch together. If he’s an available hopefully we will be able to have again during our three weeks here. Where the Airbnb is situated is not touristy. Easy reach from Colombo and Negombo alike. Easy to Uber or Pick me apps for a TukTuk. Supermarket close by. This was perfect for us. Thank you for your patience and kindness. I hope one day you can visit our Airbnb in NZ.

Dove Cottage - villa with pool
Anouk and Sunil’s place is in a quiet neighborhood. Both of them are extremely helpful and private and respect your space too. The house is done up beautifully and is safe and secure. We loved the place and will come back again for sure!

"De Fonseka Cottage" by Swarg Properties
Very cozy place and responsive host 👍❤️

Feel your own home close to Nature
A Soulful Sanctuary in Sri Lanka Wasana’s home is not just a stay it’s an experience steeped in warmth, elegance, and emotion. The architecture is nothing short of stunning, with every corner crafted with love and intention. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this house was built not just with bricks, but with heart and heritage. We slept soundly each night wrapped in soft, organic cotton blankets and resting on cloud-like pillows, surrounded by tranquility and nature. The home is a perfect blend of modern comfort and vintage charm: an open kitchen that inspires, a magnificent dining table that seats eight in style, cozy tree-lined roads, and a calming private aquarium that adds a serene rhythm to the space. Located near Diyatha Uyana, the new Parliament, and just steps from Keells supermarket, the location is convenient yet incredibly peaceful. The lush greenery around the property feels like a private retreat. Wasana herself is a gracious host attentive, kind, of magic ✨

Home in Colombo, Sri Lanka - Shaa Haven
We had a wonderful three night stay at Hemashanthi Latha’s place. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Hemashanthi and her daughter greeted us with warm smiles and a refreshing king coconut, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming gesture. The house was exactly as described. superb, spotlessly clean, and incredibly peaceful. It felt more like a home than just a place to stay. The surroundings were private and serene, making it a perfect escape within the city. All the facilities in the house were well maintained and convenient. We especially appreciated the ample parking space and the ease of coming and going at any hour without any issues. A special mention goes to their lovely dog, who added an extra layer of warmth to our stay. Such a friendly and beautiful furry companion. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, homely spot in the city with a truly great host. Thank you, Hemashanthi, for making our stay so memorable.

Teal Villa
This house is in an excellent location of Colombo. It’s closely to many good restaurants and cafes. The house is very cosy and can be enjoyed by both families and business people alike. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Villa Tranquility
So glad my friends and I found a home away from home in Ja-ela. Stayed 8 days here. Angela was an amazing host. Location wise, it’s a small town so everything is accessible. Only a 15 minute drive from airport. Supermarket & convenience stores just 10 min ride away/20min walk. However, since the area is residential it’s very quiet and peaceful, some Uber drivers are not familiar with it so they would call first to confirm the location. Get familiar with the area so you can give directions to them. Overall it was clean, especially the toilet and bedrooms which is most important for me. 4 of us shared 2 beds. The living room & dining area are bigger than in the photos! Wifi was fast. Best part of it was that the host stayed right next to the villa, so she was available for anything we needed like gas for the stove or other supplies we needed. Was also very easy to communicate with her by text for help or recommendations. Planning to come back here in my next trip to Ja-ela.

StayOne20Nine - 3 Bedroom/3 Full bath house
We had to visit our mum in the retirement home around 500m from this beautiful modern house. Thus this location provided flexibility to spend much time with mum during the day. Kumar was efficient in handing over the keys and directing us to find transport, new restaurants etc. It was easy to communicate with Uthpala about our late arrival and find ways to recieve keys. The neighbourhood was quiet in the late hours which allowed us to rest well. The house was clean and spacious. I loved all 3 toilets/bathrooms specially because it was clean and carried all basic aminities. Good wifi allowed us to work remotely. Check out was easy as well and Uthpala provided clear instructions to leave keys. I will book this place again when I visit with my teenage son.

Happy Villa
Second time staying here coz it’s the best place in Colombo. Feels like home, fully equipped kitchen. No traffic noise and just peaceful, but still so close to everything 10mins walk away

Garden Villa - Homagama

Honey Way
Stayed at Sithila’s for one night and the place was great! It’s quiet and private and pretty much matches the description. However, I was unable to reach the number provided on this app, I had to Google Honey way apartments and call the number on there to check in. But nevertheless, they were very welcoming and accommodating with the check-in/check-out times. I would book a stay again. Highly recommended!

Mount Lotus - Ground Floor
First of all I have to admit I live in the United States and I was trying to find a place for some family members. I found this place and from the moment I found this place I started communicating with the host . She was very efficient and was helping all the way . She is very kind and very helpful and very friendly and the place was so clean and it was a nice location I highly recommend to this place to anyone specially anyone who is coming from abroad . She is a very good host and rest no assured she will you the best she can . Thanks

Colombo Residence - Orchid Apartment
We had a wonderful stay at the Colombo Residence. Ample space, air conditioning in all rooms and common gathering areas, restaurants and grocery options close by, comfortable beds. The highlight for us was the caretaker, Kumara, who lives there with his lovely wife. He was very responsive to our needs, cooked up tasty Sri Lankan breakfasts every morning, and so kind to our children. Would recommend to all.

Villa Mangosteen - Malabe, Sri Lanka
My family and I spent a few days at this stunning place. The property is larger and more beautiful than the pictures suggest. We were blown away! I was occupied with bird watching in the morning and afternoon. The view is amazing and the garden is beautiful. The place is perfectly located if you are looking for a peaceful place that feels remote in Colombo. You can get Tuks or taxis to get you to Galle Face or other parts of Colombo. If you are looking to stay in Malabe or Battaramulla - this is unbeatable. We enjoyed the proximity to my wife’s family. We wish we found this place earlier and will very happily recommend it to our friends and stay there again in the future. Thank you, Kaushi, for an unforgettable stay!

Rithmi House
I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property, just a 15-minute drive from both the heart of Colombo and Port City. The location is ideal, with a variety of restaurants within walking distance, offering both convenience and great dining options. The property itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere throughout my stay. What truly stood out was the host’s exceptional hospitality. She was incredibly responsive and attentive, even accommodating requests by coming to the property on a few occasions. Her commitment to ensuring a seamless experience made all the difference. For anyone seeking a clean, well-located property near Colombo with outstanding service, I highly recommend staying here. I look forward to returning on future visits.

Spacious House in Kollupitiya
it was a home away from home. The host was very responsive and communicated well. We had a contact from the hosts team whom we communicated with all through our stay.. We got recommendations through the tour. The location worked well for our stay.

Kumbuk House
Where to start, absolutely wonderful stay at Dakshitha and Priyanka's beautiful home. The natural light was incredible in every room, the home being bookended by lush green jungley gardens and floor to ceiling windows also a highlight, large spacious rooms with tunnels of light in each, a large open kitchen and dining space. Beautiful rooftop terrace where there is always a breeze and afternoon sunset, with classy touches at every glance. My small family and I had a fantastic stay, felt very secure and private although it is in a busy area with lots of great amenities a small walk away. Keels, Food City, Sri Vahar, Kandy Department Store etc. and only 5 minutes into Havelock Mall. We are sad to leave but couldn't recomend more also our communication with Dakshitha and Priyanka was professional and quick at all times. We will be back soon

Olive Tree House
As always, Kapila and Kumudu’s place was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and even extended for a few nights as it was super convenient! We will be back soon :)
