The place is decent considering the level of cleanliness on Sri Lanka. A very comfortable bed made the two days here worthwhile. The owner however was a bit rude and made some false claims but it was sorted out. Had he been a bit more welcoming and helpful the property would have gotten 5 stars. Definitely recommended though!

Perfect address to have either your first or last night in Sri Lanka. The owner is a very lovely person who will do everything to take care of you. The room has airco and for a little extra they will prepare breakfast in front of your room. And the beds are comfy!

A lot of fake reviews here which should give you an indication. The Deluxe room is spacious and beds are rather comfortable, however the mosquito net is awkwardly placed so you wind up getting it in your face. The one star is for what we perceived as dishonest and disingenuous communication on the staff's part. Arriving very late in the night, we were asked to pay full price even though we had found a substantially lower price online. It was too late for us to get in an argument, so when we next day asked them to match the online price(online prices which we felt they were gaming from their side) for our stay the next day, they again refused to come down. We couldn't believe the stupidity. Yeah, and also $5 per person for what sounded like a regular egg and toast breakfast. Lastly, not sure what cult is running this establishment, but the walls are littered with sinners burning in hell. On our departure we were given a leaflet that presumably would save ourselves from the hell fire.

Dirty rooms, sheets, floors, bathroom, windows and everything else. They have cockroaches and the whole place smells like rotten fish. Do not recommend staying here in any case.

Very clean rooms. Very friendly and helpful hosts. I recommend staying here for your airport transit 10/10! Even now - with the power cut - they guarantee electricity with a generator 24/7. Also fast wifi!

We loved staying here! Don and Shan were very friendly hosts and we loved chatting with them, they gave us great information about our travels in sri lanka! The bedrooms were big and very comfortable. Thank you, We will visit again soon :)

Best place stay vacation ever recommend for budget guest

Everything is amazing and I'd highly recommend everyone to definitely stay at this amazing hotel. The manager and staff delivered exceptional customer service! Truly an amazing experience and will definitely return!

I recommend this hotel ! The service and staff are really nice and welcoming. We had a great breakfast with omelette and fresh fruits which were just delicious. Everything is near the hotel and the area is quite calme for those who want to avoid noises. Thank you Don.

We had a lovely stay at hotel Dorset. The people welcomed us directly and were very kind. Wel slept very well and the breakfast with the omelette, fruits and the amberella juice were delicious. I would really recommend this place!

The place is quite alright. The rooms are super basic and a bit old. The owners are incredibly nice, though, and try to help where they can. The price for the simple breakfast is somehow high and there’re better options at the restaurants.

Very helpful family and great location. We especially enjoyed the breakfast.

Hotel dorset staff provided us very grateful service. Very satisfy with the accommodation, cleanliness and all other facilities. The location also convenient to our requirements.

Great place to stay after a long flight for a few days to get used to sri lanka. Very nice helpfull owner and walkable to the beach and main restaurant road.

I had made a reservation at this hotel three days before my arrival, and the booking was confirmed by the property. However, upon reaching the hotel on the scheduled date, they informed me that there were no available rooms. The staff argued that they had the option of free cancellation, leaving me in a terrible situation, scrambling to find accommodation at the last moment, disrupting my plans for the day.

Sorry to say this, really disappointed about the service. Booked a room but they are really confused on which room is given and answers carelessly for phone calls. Even I sent whatsapp mesaage to confirm the room and the booking but they are seeing the messages but no reply. Wont recommend this, highly disappointed 🚫

We really enjoyed our stay in Hotel Dorset! The owner had do everything to make you happy. Such friendly people! Service was outstanding, breakfast delicious... We will definitely come back when we're in Negombo next time...

Had a very good experience! Nice host, clean rooms and best price! Great location - close to beach and airport

Was fooled by the fake reviews and booked a room here for the last leg of my Lanka trip. Worst ever place to stay. They have a listing of Aircon as a room facility on the booking portal but offered only a room with fan at check-in. The check-in experience was very poor and the owner is argumentative. He says the booking portal is incorrect has not bothered to check why the room lists Aircon on the portal when he doesn't offer the facility and fix it. One can only assume that there is a deliberate lack of honesty. The room itself was very basic without any aesthetics and had very little facilities. The bathroom was teaming with cockraoches. The host/owner is an evangelist of a certain denomination and will do his best to sell his doctrine which is very annoying. Had to check out prematurely to keep my peace of mind than stay here..

31st night I stayed in Desort hotel. Worst experience. Lot of mosquitos, torn mosquito nets and no complementary water bottles. Not worthy to be honest. Rooms were not clean.

The place is very clean and beautiful, the staff was very sweet and helpful. We had a wonderful time. Beach is very close , well located. I'll come again without a doubt to stay longer.

Nice family run the hotel, I recommend the place so mucb!

My hosts greeted me late at night with fresh papaya juice and a cool towel, checked me in and showed me around to my room. I had an early flight, but they didn’t bat an eye at my request for an early breakfast. They served me a delicious spread at 5:30am and were so eager to assist me. A great stay!

This was One of my best stays in Sri Lanka. The family is so nice and helpful, the rooms are quiet clean and the place is perfect. You can reach the beach by foot and there are many restaurants. Go for it :-)

Great place to stay! The owner does everything possible to make you happy. We got incredible help here and had a very nice stay. Definitely our place to go next time we're in Negombo!

Not a hotel. More like a guesthouse. Clean linen and beds, basic toiletries. Simple breakfast. Don and his family are good hosts.

Nice little hotel. Room came with a fridge, AC and a mosquito net. Had a small balcony but not much of a view. Short walk to the main strip of restaurants and access to beaches

Excellent…

Superb

Lovely place... Tasty foods for an affordable price and excellent customer service... An ideal place for relaxation...

I stayed here for two nights with a very lovely family that showed a lot of hospitality. My flight was late, and later delayed, and they allowed me to stay there and shower and even gave me a bed for half the night, free of charge! This family made our stay and I wish them all the best,

Good service and great place.

Very good communication and service.

This is an excellent address. A family run hotel with such a warm atmosphere and service. They'll just be there for you and guide you if needed!

Cool location and friendly staff... thank you!!

nice place to stay!we came here after a long flight with changes early in the morning (booked a night before) and had a nice sleep and stayed for 2 nights more you can walk easily to the beach, cafes, bike rentals we enjoyed various breakfast and very nice hosts thanks a lot

Good hotel with spacious rooms and comfy beds! Also the owner is really friendly :) would stay here again.

Clean and tidy rooms with excellent service. Friendly and supportive staff. Highly recommended.
