    The people here seemed pretty nice, until one guy that has been working there for only a few months stole my ring that I had left in the bathroom before going out with my family for the day to do some other things, everyone was positive that this person might have taken it because there is evidence where I left the ring, the guy obviously started saying things like I might have dropped it or left it somewhere even though there’s a perfect stain of the ring where I left it on a wooden surface, they also sent the same person to check our whole room to see if It’s dropped somewhere, the whole time the guy showed no sign of remorse and was trying to make odd small talk, they apparently checked his things much later after the incident. Anyway I of course didn’t get my ring back and I have no doubt that this person took the ring, most of the other people working there had good hospitality, I am not aware if they allowed the man to continue working there or not which is concerning. EDIT: It is a little bit relieving to know that at least the person doesn’t work here anymore, I think the place has a nice vibe and almost every other person working here seems genuine.

    Very good staff and location. Right off a busy road but quiet and within walking distance to several good cafes and dinner spots. Pool is nice and refreshing. AC is amazing in the room so good we could sleep with the sheets on!

    It is a fantastic location. Highly secured zone. Everything is close by from here. Places like the National Museum, Presidents office and other Govt. offices are walkable distance. This is the best place to commute all around Colombo. The people working inside the villa speak English and are very hospitable.

    Colombo Villa is a gorgeous sanctuary in a busy town. Our family loved the very large room, and especially loved the pool - but really there wasn't anything we could find fault with. And after we checked out at 11am, with 12 hours to kill before our flight, they were happy for us to set up a little basecamp near the pool and use their showers etc. so we left ready for the arduous trip ahead in the best condition possible. One of other guests visited Colombo five times a year for several weeks at a time, and had chosen Colombo Villa as her "home away from home" - and we can see why. The general neighbourhood was nice too - a short stroll from the National Museum and park, and a breeze to hail tuk-tuks if needed. And the pool is covered for when the occasional downpour strikes! 5 stars.

    We can not speak highly enough of the Colombo villa. We stayed for 4 nights on our arrival in Sri Lanka. A small colonial style villa that was spotlessly clean, beds were comfy and rooms serviced daily, the staff were amazing, 5 star service, always happy to help with any queries. Very close (within walking distance) to all the sights of colombo as well as plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. We didn't eat at any of the swanky restaurants but enjoyed local restaurants where a sri lankan meal for 4 cost $15. Pool, seating areas, board games, books, laundry service, wifi, bikes, gym. Continental breakfast was huge and the Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. Description and photos are accurate.

    Colombo villa is a great place! I was very happy to start my trip with this place where I was able to relax after my long flight. The rooms are beautiful and very spacious. The garden and the indoor swimming pool are very nice. The neighborhood is also super cute, quiet with a lot of food and coffee options. The staff is so welcoming, helpful and kind (big thank you to Dennis) I can just highly recommend this place!

    The villa is in a great location, close to national museum and other sites. With their free bikes you can get to the main spots (incl sea side) within 10-15 minutes. The house itself is charming, really authentic feel, very clean and welcoming. The pool is a bit small but nice enough to take a dip and cool off. Also very clean and right amount of chlorine. Even though there is staff walking around they make themselves almost invisible so you really feel like you have a lot of privacy. We finished our 2 week trip here, so it was perfect for final relaxing before our flight back. Arranged a driver to the airport in the middle of the night for only 2800 rupees (plus tolls). Also recommend for beginning because the manager/owner really can give great trips. He’s clearly very experienced in the hospitality sector and all staff are working with the same service-driven mentality. Very friendly and welcoming. Really nothing but positivity and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    I can't say enough about our last stay in Colombo in May a few weeks after the Easter bombings. From the driver who picked us up during curfew, to our arrival at about 4:00 a.m. to the refreshing drink and welcome and then to bed, everything was done in a friendly, welcoming way. Breakfast was delightful and the room was our favourite with a very comfortable bed. We swam every day in the pool which now has a canopy over it. To stay here is to stay with friends.

    Good customer service and friendly people. celebrated my birthday here and had a nice time here with my friends, it’s a really good villa for a pretty reasonable price, Would definitely visit here once again!

    Absolutely fantastic location! It's right in the heart of Colombo, and in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Colombo. The owner is super friendly, and the villa is managed by a kind person too. From what I heard, it sounds like their breakfast is great value too, with fresh fruit, which is getting increasingly difficult to come by these days.

    Not everything is perfect, but these little imperfections combined with the friendlyness of the hosts make this an outstanding place. We felt like staying at our friends.
