Very kind, midnight airport pickup service (payed) is reliable. That’s sad I had to depart early morning, but they prepared my breakfast earlier, thanks.

I enjoyed how comfortable and clean the hotel is, but also how friendly the managers are. After staying in a number of budget lodges, I wanted to treat myself to a proper room, with a quality mattress and a hot water shower.

My partner and I had the best stay at Star Canal Cottage. After receiving a great tuk tuk tour around Negombo from Leon at the start of our trip, we stayed at his guesthouse before our departure too due to his friendliness and consideration. Our room very clean, spacious and light, with a powerful hot shower in the bathroom. The location is great, close to the city centre with restaurants nearby, but down a quiet canal road to enjoy the peace. We read and listened to the birds on the terrace during the day, while drinking home made lime juice before an excellent dinner of home-made prawns from Leon. A wonderfully kind, funny, and diligent host (and now friend), we will recommend Star Canal Cottage to anyone wishing to visit Sri Lanka :)

The owners are super kind and caring. The husband took us to the fish market and a church and a market, and they also recommended restaurants that were super nice. Rooms are clean and the pool is amazing! They arranged cool beers whenever we wanted it. Would recommend to everyone!

This hotel is such a delight, everything is so beautifully designed. It is full of small details in the rooms and in the hallway that make it feel as a a small boutique hotel, from the elements in the batroom to the armchairs in the lovely patio in front of our room. We had a room wich was huge and spotless. The owners are a young couple passionate of their hotel, of architecture and make every effort to provide a very high end experience. They made a special very early breakfast for us before our flight. I would really recommend this hotel when staying in Negombo even if it is not directly on the beach because it provides such a lovely experience.

Upon our arrival in Sri Lanka, we planned to stay in this accommodation for just one night before moving on, but in the end, we stayed longer to get better rest after the trip. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed: hot water in the bathroom, a wardrobe, a fan, air conditioning, a balcony, and a fridge in the apartment. There is also a shared kitchen with all the necessary items and a microwave, as well as a beautiful shared terrace where we spent a lot of time.🌅 The best part of all was the family running the place. They were always kind and smiling, and breakfast was always waiting for us right at ten, as we had agreed: English breakfast, pancakes, fruit, a pot of tea, curry…🍽️🍉 And it’s important to mention that this amazing breakfast is included in the room price. The host even helped us break down larger bills so we could pay for the store delivery we had ordered. Truly worth recommending! We might even stay there again when heading back toward Negombo.☀️

They are a fantastic host family. 🫶🏽 It is a tranquil neighborhood off the main road but close enough for a leisurely walk. I highly recommend it for a short or long stay. It is a very clean and comfortable environment.

Although I booked a room without A/C I could take an A/C room with little add on price. The owners are very nice and helpful. The location is next to the beach and to a dive base with restaurant. The owner's daughter runs a scooter and bicycle rental and I rented a good quality bicycle for a fair price. Also they provide pick up and drop off service to the airport. A super breakfast restaurant with prices for locals is available in short walking distance. Highly recommended homestay.

This has been a wonderful start to our Sri Lanka journey, we loved everything about this guesthouse. The beautiful garden, the clean and comfortable rooms, the lovely host Keneth and the tasty dinner and breakfast. We also had the opportunity to use the bicycles free off charge to get lunch and get some impressions of Negombo, met some nice people on the way. Luckily we will be back to spend the last day of our trip at this wonderful homestay, already looking forward to it.
