Peak of Colombo
The apartment is in a perfect location. Walking distance to 2 supermarkets, shopping mall, the bakery and restaurant, etc. Nice view from a window of Colombo city.

Luxury Beachfront Apartment
This place is home in paradise. From the cleanliness, systematic checkin in checkout procedures to the hosts availability to help out is just commendable. The view from the stay? Oh boy! It’s to die for! I would recommend this Airbnb a 120%.

The Blue Beach
Spent almost a month at this Airbnb,. Amazing place, the beach is just a few meters away and my family loved it. The apartment is well maintained and easily accessible. Very safe for families to stay. We just loved every minute of our stay. The host was very accomodative and responsive. I had an issue with the ACs, was fixed in almost no time. We plan to go back soon. I cannot recommend this place more, it was just so amazing! The location is great! Thanks Subhashi. We love ur place,

A peaceful gem in Galle! Arosha's place is clean, stylish, and perfectly located near the beach. A truly homely feeling-A Home away from home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in comfort.

Charming Ocean View Condo / Balcony / Sunset
Excellent location. Very clean. Properly organised. Quick response from the host. We got some amazing local tips from the host hat helped us dine at some of the best restaurants in Colombo. Highly recommend!

City Retreat Union Place (Two Bed Apartment)
The apartment is conveniently located close to all the amenities. The apartment was clean and modern with all the necessary facilities for a comfy stay. Chiran and his farther was able to ready the place on a very short notice and really thankful for that. Had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the place for a stay in Colombo.

Sea La Vie Colombo
Felt entering home, with a stunning Spick and span interiors, with minute detailing, which had so much warmth and care put in every piece in that home. The view of the ocean was breath taking. Though we met her just while checkout, she was so warm and connected with us instantly. Overall excellent experience. Anytime would recommend her place, to friends and family visiting Sri Lanka. Would recommend this place over any star hotles.

Lake Cottage Nawala
This house is a hidden gem in Colombo. It’s very tasteful and well furnished, with an incredible backyard overlooking the water. We didn’t feel like leaving the home. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Kaluganga Holiday Home
Wow, what a fantastic place! I loved it so much.

Metha's House
When we selected this house for a two day stay -for a very much needed rest- along the river, we expected to be there by ourselves (a couple). But after arrival it seemed that we were only renting a room in the house of the owner(s) and the caretaker. So we were supposed to share kitchen, living room and other facilities. This was not how this Airbnb was 'sold' to us on the Airbnb site. i am sure that this did not happen with any bad intention. Once we expressed our disappointment, without any doubt, Gayani gave us a full refund. Otherwise all is well with the house. View is great. Gayani is a super kind person. So all is well except for the fact that you are not renting a whole house but just a room in the house of a Sri Lankan family. If that is what you are looking for, I can fully recommend this place.

Bolgoda Grand - Luxury by the Lake
Very spacious villa with a great view. The pool was amazing.

Jayasiri Riverfront Home
The host is enthusiastic.

Shane's Inn
The room is clean and spacious.Nimesh are very nice people,thank you

LakeView
Lake view is an amazing structure with perfect surroundings. It is very central and though very private. We have spent a couple of great days in the structure and had the feeling of being in our private villa with a lot of freedom, space, design and commodities. We will book Lake view for sure again. Thanks a lot to the owner, Prasanna, for the great hospitality.

Villa 199@Millennium City JaEla -15mins to Airport
This was a hidden gem for sure and glad we found it . Looking for a place close to the airport to unwind and prepare for our next flight we booked into this beautiful place. The experience from the get go was pleasant . The host was very responsive and accommodated our requests . What we loved the most about this place is the quaint surroundings and the beautiful green patches with lakes inside this gated community . It was very private and peaceful. We enjoyed our evening walks and the accommodation itself was well equipped and very comfortable. Thanks once again to the host for the help in making our stay memorable. Highly recommend this place and the host . Cheers

Beach Condo, Miami Vibes, Sea view, Rooftop Pool
Where to start, what a great host, cozy place, felt serenity and place like more than home. Since i booked n approached her, she was very responsive , allowed early check in. She has decorated each n every item in the apartment with special attention and theme. Right from main door till all rooms, beach theme pillows, wall decoration, special souvenirs from across the world, beach theme kitchen cabinets. The place is just few meters from beach, great views of the sun set and beach around and roof top pool of course is a main attraction.. I am thankful to her for being such a great host I would not even think to go anywhere else next time i am in Colombo .

We had a lovely stay here. The place was very clean and comfortable, had lots of facilities. The view is also beautiful.

I can definitely recommend this place.

‘Sea Breeze’ BeachFront Apartment in Mount Lavinia
Beautiful apartment, right next to Mt Lavinia Beach. The kitchen was well stocked, which made it easy to cook own meals. The building had very good security services. But the best thing about this apartment is the ability to enjoy the sea breeze from the bedrooms. Thank you for hosting us Seevali.
