    A great place to stay! Would definitely recommend it. The owner is very kind and takes extreme good care of you . The room is really spacious and clean. The pool is nice. The breakfast is great with Western and Sri Lankan dish both combined. It's a relaxing place with great view on the canal with water lizzards and lots of birds as well. Beautiful! We loved our stay here.

    Even better than the last time (8 weeks earlier). Nice new wooden sun beds and chill chairs in the pool area. Crew very friendly.

    Great place to stay in Negombo. Small but calm and quiet. Can spend a relaxing holiday. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a small deck adjacent to Hamilton canal with a relaxing view where you can enjoy your breakfast.

    Had a wonderful stay at Serendib. The rooms are big, clean and comfortable. I left early in the morning and therefore I could not make it to breakfast. The owner gave me a free taxi ride to the airport (30 min) which I thought was very kind. Can recommend to stay here.

    Nice family hotel ! I was able to check in early in the morning when I arrived which was amazing. Pretty hotel nice staff. Only thing is the shower was not usable - no water pressure and the water was going to all directions but not down.

    Perfect place to stay in Negombo. The hotel is located in a nice and quite area with a great pool. Rooms are very comfy and clean. Breakfast is served on a beautiful terrace close to a river. The hosts are so friendly and helpful!

    It's relaxing and peaceful. There's a swimming pool which makes it even more interesting! You can walk to the restaurants road (and also the beach) which is about 10-15 minutes by foot.

    (Translated by Google) Great hotel when you arrived at the airport. It is 20 minutes away by taxi. The rooms are very clean and comfortably furnished and really big. There is a nice pool and the breakfast is incredibly good. The staff was super friendly and helpful. When I had two very swollen mosquito bites and wanted a doctor to look at them, one of the staff drove me to the hospital by car and arranged everything for me there. If we fly back we will definitely stay there again. (Original) Super Hotel wenn man am Flughafen angekommen ist. Es ist 20 Minuten mit dem Taxi entfernt. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet und echt groß. Es gibt einen schönen Pool und das Frühstück ist wahnsinnig gut. Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Als ich zwei sehr geschwollene Mückenstiche hatte und einen Arzt sie anschauen lassen wollte, hat mich einer vom Personal mit dem Auto zum Krankenhaus gefahren und dort alles für mich geregelt. Wenn wir wieder zurück fliegen werden wir auf jeden Fall dort nochmal übernachten.

    We were able to arrange with them to pick us up from the airport at midnight. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was spotlessly clean. It was a Aircon room which is a must in summer. The next morning the included breakfast sitting near the river was amazing to the point we were unable to eat it all. They also arranged a car to take us to Kalpitya. They had a pool. The wifi was good and the service was fantastic.

    We had a lovely stay at Serendib Village. The rooms were clean and spacious and had a good view of the pool and the surrounding nature. The delicious breakfast was served near the canal. All in all it was a super relaxing atmosphere. Great to escape the busy streets of Negombo.

    Really lovely place to hang out. Pay attention to pack in your suncreams because it can get really hot and there are not very much places with shadow. The only places were under some Coconut palms. But you need to care about yourself so no coconut will harm you. At some points of the day the waves break very very near to the Beach, so it is not always recommended for swimming.

    Not far from the center of Negombo but located at the end of an alley it's the perfect place to rest ! The rooms are comfortable and clean, the swimming pool is the perfect place to relax and the view on the canal when you have your breakfast amazing ! Thanks for the nice welcoming, I will recommend

    My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Serendib Village in Negombo, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Accommodation: The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing the perfect respite after a day of exploring. Warm Hospitality: Owner Milinda Buddika and his brother and staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Their genuine care for guests made us feel right at home. Family-Friendly: Serendib Village is a great choice for families. The kids loved the outdoor pool, and the tranquil garden provided a safe and peaceful environment for them to play. Delicious Breakfast: The breakfast spread was not only delicious but also varied, offering something for everyone in the family. Overall, Serendib Village's warm hospitality, family-friendly atmosphere, and delicious breakfast made our stay in Negombo truly memorable. We can't wait to return!

    The owner of this space is a fair and very kind man who helped us with many things, including the recommendation of a great driver to take us to Anuradhapura. You can also meet there other easy-going fellow travellers. Me and my girlfriend felt happy when staying in this apartment complex.

    The place is located in a calm and quite area. The room was awesome. It has all the facilities like superb bed, mini fridge, couch, TV with Dialog connection, Tea coffee making, hair dryer, cupboard, dressing table. Best thing is there are enough plug points in either side of the bed. That is very rare in most of the hotels. There is a pool. The food and the staff was lovely. The rates are really low where I got the Bed & Breakfast for 4500/- which is really cheap and the food was mind blowing. The owners lives in downstairs and they are nice, helpful and caring. They serve the customers as of their family. We had a small leg injury caused while swimming and the owner arranged everything to go to the doctor and made all the arrangements. Hats-off to his service in his hotel. I recommend everyone to consider this hotel if they are planning a vacation in Negambo.

    Delicious food was served. The rooms were very clean and well managed. Staff was very friendly and supportive. The small swimming pool was great to relax. A great job was done by Mr. Milinda, his family and the staff in the guest house. Our family checked out 14th April, 2021 morning after a great stay. Love the dog "Luna" 🐶. Much recommended for stay.

  • 5/5 Rose Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Mr. Milinda along with his brother and staff/family were exceptionally supportive and made Our stay very comfortable! They have many many adorable and friendly dogs and cats we loved them all specially Luna their domestic dog. The Breakfast was a huge portion than I expected. It was delicious and a mouth full. Breakfast was the best part along with the walking distance food places plus pubs. You can also order via pickme & uber. All restaurants & fast food places are close by so ordering online made us easy as well with the hotels location. We REALLY REALLY loved Our stay. The location of the hotel was easy to fnd!.. I'm happy we chose serendib for Our alone time. The rooms were tidy and very spacious. Bathrooms were very clean. Room temperatures were on point with comfortable bed and pillows. We had a faulty in our a/c, once we informed them they were responsible enough to come and fix it!.. The serendib village guest house is a great place to stay! regretting we couldn't stay one or two more nights, I recommend them highly to anyone! Definitely coming back again! 10 out of 10!

    I stayed at the hotel in Sri Lanka recently, and had a fantastic experience. One of the best perks of the hotel was their free breakfast! The food was delicious and included a variety of dishes to choose from. The staff was friendly and accommodating, creating a pleasant atmosphere for guest. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would definitely return there again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely and affordable hotel to stay at in Sri Lanka.

  • 5/5 Chelsea D. 5 months ago on Google
    What a wo deedul experience! They were able to arrange a person to pick us up from the airport. Even though our plane was 2 hours late there was still someone there to pick is up when we arrived! There was also someone still up to let us into the room when we arrived, the a/c was also already on to cool the room down so we were able to fall straight asleep! Also, an incredible Sri Lankan breakfast is included which you eat near the water. We saw so many animals while eating breakfast - water monitors, squirrels and all different types of birds!

  • 4/5 Ильдар �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Perfect place. Simple, beautiful, comfortable, friendly. A bit far (about 10 minutes) from dvizhuhi, but this is an extra reason to stretch the body. Breakfast is a bomb. We ate and admired the lizards in the river and wonderful colorful birds. Mosquitoes eat at night, the staff warned that they purchased the spray. The room is clean, well maintained and with all amenities. There was a rams with sockets, but not in all rooms, I decided to buy an adapter for 150 rubles. (Original) Отличное место. Просто, красиво, удобно, приветливо. Немного далековато (минут 10 ходу) от движухи, но это лишний повод размять тело. Завтрак - бомба. Кушали и любовались варанами в реке и чудесными разноцветными птицами. Ночью жрут комары, персонал предупредил, чтобы приобрели спрей. Номер чистые, ухоженные и со всеми удобствами. Был рамс с розетками, но такие не во всех номерах, решилось покупкой адаптера за 150₽.

    Very nice and calm place. Friendly and attentive hosts. Rooms are large, clean and spacious. Good breakfast, served at a nice terrace at a small creek.

  • 4/5 Gabija I. 4 years ago on Google
    Very very beautiful place. Normal location. Super nice staff. Good equipment in the room and good size. The only thing that was massively bad were the mosquitos. Really place some more smoke rings or do something, but it is not comfortable for people sleeping (or doing anything else) there.

  • 4/5 Peter van G. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice place close to the beach. With a pool. Big room with aircon but no mosquito net. Sadly the Aircon can 't get the temperature down to 25 degrees Celsius. Good breakfast.

    (Translated by Google) The perfect place to start is a Sri Lanka trip. A nice clean quiet place in a green setting. The staff are warm, considerate and very helpful. Possibility of shuttle from the airport. The establishment also offers high quality massages (in a neighboring establishment "jasmin villa") at very reasonable prices. On your request Milinda ke, owner of the place, will bring the free shuttle which will drop you off and bring you back (the best value for money out of 4 establishments visited during my stay on the island). Finally ! Breakfast by the canal is just sumptuous, delicious and plentiful. We returned there the last day before our return. Same delight! The rooms are just beautiful. (Original) L'endroit idéal pour commencer sont trip au Sri Lanka. Un bel endroit calme propre dans un cadre verdoyant. Le personnel est chaleureux, prévenant et très disponible. Possibilité de navette depuis l'aéroport. L'établissement propose aussi des massages de grande qualité (dans un établissement voisin "jasmin villa" ) à des tarifs très raisonnables. Sur votre demande Milinda ke maître des lieux fera venir la navette gratuite qui vous déposera et vous ramènera ( le meilleur rapport qualité prix sur 4 établissements fréquentés pendant mon séjour sur l'île). Enfin ! Le petit déjeuner en bordure du canal est juste somptueux, délicieux et copieux. Nous y sommes revenus le dernier jour avant notre retour. Même ravissement ! Les chambres sont juste magnifiques..

  • 5/5 Sarah A. 5 years ago on Google
    This is an absolutely wonderful place more than a 'Guest House'. The rooms are very large, with tasteful furniture, along with the decent bedroom comes extra sofa, table, TV and air con. Breakfast is more like a brunch and certainly you wouldn't need anything until the night again! Malinda and his staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Laying on the sunbeds next to the pool surrounded by the trees and a lot of birds, truely tranquil. Have already booked a week for next year. Cannoy recommend highly enough.
