I recently stayed at a room I rented for a few nights in Maharagama, Sri Lanka. While the location was outside Colombo, I found it to be incredibly peaceful away from the city hustle. The room itself was clean, simple, and excellent value for the price. What really stood out, though, was the landlord. He was exceptionally friendly and helpful, addressing all my queries and offering great tips about the area. I appreciated his hospitality and would recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful stay near Colombo.

The hotel has a really great environment and an excellent sense of design. When I checked in, the owner wasn't around, but someone else was arranged to help me with the check-in process, which was quite an interesting experience. The next day, when I left, the owner was very kind. All in all, it was a wonderful stay. However, I only stayed in Colombo for one day. The room gave me a really nice feeling that day.

Lovely guesthouse. The room was new, comfortable, and fresh - made for a good night's sleep with a comfy bed. Homemade breakfast was lovely, and both the hostess and her assistant were really attentive. There's also a shared kitchen and living area for guests, though we didn't use the kitchen ourselves.

This boutique hotel is an absolute gem. It's very comfortable, clean and friendly. The hospitality was so personal, they made us feel so special the whole time we were there. All our requests where met instantly. I also explained that it was my husband's birthday during our stay when we first arrived and they remembered this and provided us with a special breakfast including a birthday cake, which was really lovely. Thank you, especially to Dilshan, who was absolutely wonderful and Kasun for his support and welcome. In fact, the whole team were fantastic. Well done to all team at 55TG Boutique. 😊

It’s a wonderful house. I didn’t realize it was a home stay, but was very grateful it was for my list night in Sri Lanka. When I walked in, music was playing and the water sounds coming from the indoor garden’s pond immediately made me feel like I had stepped out of the busy city and into an oasis. Relaxing house with lots of nooks and crannies, areas to curl up and read a book. I wish I had spent another night.

This is a wonderful homestay. You get your private room with bathroom and balcony. Kitchen and living room is shared with the owners which are very friendly and helpful. All is with nice furniture and very clean. The apartment is at the 4th floor of 11 and on the rooftop you can enjoy a pool and gym and wonderful view all over Colombo. Highly recommended.

Uncle Ben and his wife made us feel very welcome in their homestay which is nicely located in the quiet, yet still lively neighbourhood of Bambalapitiya. The room and bathroom were clean and we were served a very tasty and rich sri lankan breakfast. We would definitely recommend Visakha 6 for a decent stay in Colombo!

It’s like a homestay. Had to wait 10m Infront of it, but then we had no further issues. Had the best showers in Sri Lanka over there. A lot of pressure ;) It’s a little bit ghostly in this house which is kinda some shared living space, but we basically had the house for us. There was a kitchen in the basement too.
