I can't wait to write this review, because the efforts of the owners of this hotel deserve such praise. The experience was beyond expectation, the accommodation was very beautiful, the room was very clean and tidy, the owner was very warm, he would take us to see the fireflies at night, it made me feel like staying at a friend's house. It's comforting to have a healthy and delicious breakfast in the green. They offer free bikes to get around town and also offer inexpensive airport transfers. If you are coming to Negombo and you are tired of the sameness of luxury hotels, I highly recommend you to come here and experience it

We stayed in Funwhales Rest House for the last our night in Sri Lanka before the flight back home. The hotel is at very good location - in the very center of Negombo, close to all bars and restaurants and Negombo beach. The place met all our expectations - it looked modern, new comfortable and clean. We chose a Deluxe Double room because it had a terrace - not big but enough balcony with table ant chairs for two people. Our flight was at 7:40 a.m., so we had to leave about 5 a.m. and the host had prepared us a take out breakfast. We were very happy about that as our flight was delayed for 3,5 hours. The owner arranged us a tuk tuk transfer to the airport at compatible price, so we did not have to worry about that. We really enjoyed the stay and recommend the place!

Anton received us super warmly. He's a chill, easy going and very friendly person. Makes you feel at home immediately and is there for whatever question you have. The villa is quiet, even if all the rooms are full. The breakfast is amazing and absolutely recommended! We'll be coming back Anton! Thanks.

    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.
