Mango House Japanese Guest House, hotel in Negombo

Located within 2.8 km of St Anthony's Church and 38 km of R Premadasa Stadium, Mango House Japanese Guest House provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Negombo.

We only stayed here for one night and it was lovely. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The place is really beautiful. The breakfast is a choice of rolls and at first we weren't too sure what it would be like, however, both options were delicious. He organised a driver for us too.

Ayubowan Guesthouse, hotel in Negombo

Set in Negombo, within 600 metres of Negombo Beach and 2.2 km of Wellaweediya Beach, Ayubowan Guesthouse offers accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.

We stayed one night after a red eye flight and it was the best welcome to Sri Lanka that we could have imagined. Brenda and Ron are great hosts and most helpful in organising transport etc. The house is gorgeous, spotlessly clean, room practical and comfortable (we had a room one the ground floor with terrace view which we enjoyed), beautiful outside space and pool and only a few minutes away from restaurants, cafés and the beach. In the morning, you can have a traditional Sri Lankan curry breakfast which is super delicious and not to be missed.

Both Ashane and his wife were the most fantastic hosts as were their staff , this is a 5 star gold platinum accommodation. We were so sad to stay for only one evening but will go back for longer next visit. The accommodation is very high end and the attention to detail is special. A fabulous accommodation that should cost so much more .

Great option to start or conclude your trip to Sri Lanka. Deb and Joseph were kind and helpful during our short stay! Joseph picked us up from the airport during the middle of the night which was so kind (and one of the main reasons we chose this guesthouse). It's near to the train station which is really handy if you're heading north. Breakfast was sufficient and there is filtered water available to top up bottles which was great. The bathroom had a bit of a strange smell and the mattresses were very thin. The pool was refreshing and you can walk into town easily. Great value for what's offered!

    Although I booked a room without A/C I could take an A/C room with little add on price. The owners are very nice and helpful. The location is next to the beach and to a dive base with restaurant. The owner's daughter runs a scooter and bicycle rental and I rented a good quality bicycle for a fair price. Also they provide pick up and drop off service to the airport. A super breakfast restaurant with prices for locals is available in short walking distance. Highly recommended homestay.

    This has been a wonderful start to our Sri Lanka journey, we loved everything about this guesthouse. The beautiful garden, the clean and comfortable rooms, the lovely host Keneth and the tasty dinner and breakfast. We also had the opportunity to use the bicycles free off charge to get lunch and get some impressions of Negombo, met some nice people on the way. Luckily we will be back to spend the last day of our trip at this wonderful homestay, already looking forward to it.

    I only stayed for 2 nights, but had a great time with the host family. They were so friendly and warmly accommodated all my needs. Even though my departure was in the middle of the night(2:40AM), Chamith arranged a drop off service for me by tuktuk. The location is good and safe, easy to access two supermarkets. When I have a chance to visit Sri Lanka, I will definitely book Hellen Homestay again!
