It’s a gem! There’s always something quirky at every corner, it’s amazing! Stayed there on my birthday and they greeted us with a nice deco on the bed. Besides that, we were also given 2 jars of homemade chutney and jam after we returned from dinner. Let’s talk about dinner at their sister company Sanctuarii - my partner and i dined there two nights in a row because everything was exceptional. U can’t find cocktails better than there, food was amazing, atmosphere was eclectic (just like the house), and service is definitely top-notch! On the second night, i requested if they could fix the Netflix in the room and they sure did. The staff, especially Imran, have been very friendly and helpful. I can’t find anything negative to say about my stay here and would gladly return again. :)

This place is an oasis in Colombo. We just had one overnight after our arrival at Colombo airport. It’s about 45min from the airport (wo. traffic jam). The interieur and garden area of the boutique hotel is really nice. The staff was very friendly and supportive. The Sri Lankan breakfast is a recommendation.

The owners are wonderful - we came in the middle of night and we're leaving as well very early morning but we had our breakfast done on time. It's really enormous to eat and taste each dish. My daughters loved chandelier in patio where bird made its nest and it was taking care of small birds. Although it's a little out of city centrum but it gives silence and possibility to rest in patio to observe animals as birds and squirrels coming for eating. The room is spacious with attached bathroom. Very close to Leisure Villa there is good restaurant - Tango to eat supper or lunch.

Everything from start to finish. Sampath is just an EXCEPTIONAL host! He welcomed us, offered tea/coffee/snacks, gave us plenty of tips and ideas about what to do in the area. Personally took us to some places. The Eco Lodge is kept extremely nice and clean. Very comfortable beds and all facilities. Also, Sampath's wife is an amazing cook. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious and our wishes were totally taken into account. They also have a super cute dog and cat. Just... Book this place, it's amazing!

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.
