"About 30 minutes by taxi from the airport. The pool is amazing. The room is a bit worn, but the overall experience made up for it — the restaurant is a gem. It offers lots of food options and a peaceful atmosphere with views of the garden and lagoon. The pool is also very beautiful and well-maintained. ..."

"Great option for outside Colombo. We arrived on a late night flight, and only about 30min drive from the airport. The property is positioned well with a variety of restaurants and shops around. The pools were great, long enough to do a few morning laps. The buffet breakfast had a wide range of options, ..."

"We rented this property thinking that we were renting the whole house as advertised. It turns out that that this house is a hostel as per the sign out front and we were given one room. After some discussion with the owner we were given three rooms. The owner had not been paid by VRBO and I had paid ..."

Quite tourist area

3/5 - Okay

I can't really comment on Negombo as we arrived in the middle of the night and left for a trip north almost as soon as we woke up. It was quite a busy place on the outskirts of Colombo, but the hotel's situation on the edge of the lagoon was lovely

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

We went on a boat trip in the local canal and river, which was lovely. Jetwing organised it which also meant it was completely hassle free and there was not even an opportunity for tips.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Didn’t really see much of Negombo as it was only a lay over but what we did see was lovely. Few shops and restaurants outside the complex and a lovely beach walk with locals enjoying the weekend.

Busy. Main attraction is the airport!
