I recently stayed at Funwhales and had a fantastic experience. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating, helping me with airport transfers and arranging tours at great prices. The entire accommodation was modern, clean, and the home cooked breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect, close to the beach, restaurants, shops, and bars. For the price, it was definitely value for money. I also appreciated the opportunity to use the beachfront hotel pool nearby for a small fee.
Would recommend this hotel.

This accommodation is located just a few yards away from the beach, allowing for a relaxing stay with an excellent view. The rooms are well-kept and comfortable, with clean and modern bathrooms. The service is top-notch, with the friendly staff going above and beyond for their guests. Breakfast is tasty and plentiful, ensuring a great start to the day.

I had an exceptional stay at this rest house in Negombo. The owners were incredibly friendly and treated me like family. They went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and even woke up at 3 AM to pack me some food for my early morning departure. The room was spacious, clean, and had a great shower with hot water. The location was perfect, close to the beach and surrounded by restaurants and bars. The breakfast served was delicious and the respect shown by the owners was impressive. I highly recommend this place for a comfortable and welcoming stay in Negombo.
Although there were no major issues, one bathroom had an unusual layout where I had to walk through the shower to get to the toilet. Additionally, water was not included in the price, but it was still cheaper than buying it elsewhere.

I recently stayed at this hotel in Sri Lanka and I was thoroughly impressed. the location is fantastic, just off the main street and in the city center. It was so convenient for exploring the interesting beach and other attractions nearby. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms on the first floor were clean and comfortable, with the added bonus of air conditioning for those hot Sri Lankan days. And let's not forget the delicious breakfast that was served every morning, it was definitely a highlight of my stay.
Honestly, I couldn't find anything that needed improvement. Everything exceeded my expectations.

Clean and cozy room with air conditioning. The location was convenient, close to plenty of good restaurants and shops. The breakfast was tasty and filling, with fresh fruit and toast.
The owners were not very friendly or accommodating. When we arrived, they seemed annoyed that we were early, and didn't give us any information about the hotel or surrounding area.
