We were very much interested in homestay so that we could interact with local people, eat local food and know local customs. This was our last homestay of 6 in Sri Lanka over a period of 24 days. Here in Negombo, the rooms were very clean. The bathroom was stinking as the other common bathroom exhausted into our bathroom. Host was very businesslike and as soon as we walked in we were treated like we are in a motel. First thing he wanted was the payment before we could even see the room. Even though website stated that we have to pay in local currancy the exchange rate used by the host was higher than what our bank was giving on the ATM. Host was kind of cold, we never felt we were in a homestay. Breakfast was minimum and when we asked for more butter as the butter left over from previous gusets was not enough for two of us. I was admonished saying, " when you are finished, we will give you more". Both the hosts stood watching over us when we were eating. We asked for additional feet towel. we were told that all bathrooms are built like this and there was no need for towel. They brought us a dirty squeegee later. Even though building was new I would not return here as we did not feel welcomed. For us it is the ATTITUDE .

Shan and his wife were excellent hosts. They took care of every little detail to make our stay comfortable. It felt like second home. We enjoyed the delicious home cooked meals by his wife. We would love to come back to Perideniya again.

Excellent hosts, helpful, very clean place,central to business areas, only 1 km from the fort. Wish the room had aircon as Galle was very hot.

Excellent hosts, very welcoming, very helpful, made us feel totally at home. We will stay here again without a doubt. A very nice area as well. One of the best hosts in homestay.
