Condo in Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte
5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsIconic Home Stays 28th Floor, Iconic Galaxy.
We had a great stay at Niresh's apartment. It is exactly as described and as the photos show. The apartment is very well furnished and very clean. Niresh was very responsive to any queries or issues and the building's management were quick to resolve a plumbing issue and some noise from the flat above. The balcony view is great for sunset and we were lucky to enjoy a view of the Colombo fireworks for New Year. My only suggestion for improvement would be some balcony furniture. I would happily stay again and would highly recommend the apartment.

Apartment in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 129 reviewsDeep Blue Colombo Seaside Luxury Apartment
The scenery out of the front balcony was amazing. Our two young sons loved watching the trains go by down below. There's a Cargills store downstairs on the same building which was very handy. A restaurant was also there with very good selection of Indian food. Mt Lavinia beach is just 5 minutes down the road on a tuk tuk. One thing of concern was the apartment immediately below us is currently undergoing renovations and there were couple of days where the work was being done during the day which was a bit unbearable. However the hosts were very proactive in informing management to put the work on hold until our departure. Another slight concern is the noise from trains specially in the early morning when we are still in bed. Coming from a very quiet neighborhood, we found this a little challenging, although the trains are also a plus point, specially if you have kids as it keep them entertained We felt very safe in this location and would recommend to our friends. Would visit again!

Apartment in Malabe
5 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviewsLovely Home for your Vacation
Mr Sudam is a very good and helpful host. I was staying with my 2 toddlers and Mr Sudam was very helpful and accommodating. The house is very neat and tidy. We had initially planned a longer stay but had to cut down our stay due to family issues back home, but Mr Sudam understood our situation n helped us in every possible way. All in all a very satisfying stay and an excellent host and wonderful property.

Condo in Colombo
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviewsLuna447 Col 2-Apartment with an Al~Fresco terrace
We absolutely loved our stay at 447 Luna Tower, and without a doubt, we hope to return during our next long visit to Sri Lanka! The lobby is spacious, and the apartment was perfect for the four of us. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the essentials for cooking, including a big fridge. The apartment had spacious showers with a hot water option, adding to the comfort of our stay. We especially appreciated access to the air-conditioned gym. The highlight was the rooftop pool and its unreal panoramic views of Colombo city and the ocean in the distance. The pool, at 4 feet deep, was rarely crowded; most days, we had it all to ourselves! The location was incredibly convenient. Ubers were easy to get, and we had supermarkets, pharmacy, etc. at walking distance, with close proximity to hotels. Special thanks to Fernando for his friendly and helpful demeanor, and to Tharindu, whose exceptional cleaning services made our stay feel hotel-like, complete with thoughtful towel art surprises!

Villa in Polgasowita
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviewsVilla 105 - Maple
Wonderful Stay in a Peaceful Villa We had a fantastic stay at this villa, located in a quiet town outside Colombo. Our host, Sam, was welcoming and easy to reach. The house manager, Dinesh, and his wife live on-site, and they truly made our stay special. Dinesh provided great tips, drove us around, and was incredibly kind and humble. His wife spoiled our kids with delicious traditional Sri Lankan lunch, which they absolutely loved. The villa is divided into multiple rentals, so the pool and outdoor areas are shared. The nearest town, Mattegoda, has supermarkets and local restaurants. The area sees few tourists, but the locals are warm and welcoming—we really enjoyed getting away from the crowds. Food is very affordable, and curry, rice, and noodle dishes are great choices. English is not widely spoken, but we managed. Colombo is about an hour away by tuk-tuk, with an easy bus option too. A wonderful stay—perfect for those wanting authentic Sri Lanka in a peaceful setting!

Villa in Negombo
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsSerene Sands Villa
We were very happy with the place. The location is top, right by the beach and many nice restaurants. Sometimes it's a bit noisy from the street or live music, but you have to put up with that if you're in the middle of a busy street! We really enjoyed it!
