Derrick and his wife made my stay unforgettable with their warm hospitality. The hotel is ideally located—close to the city yet peaceful. My spacious room had a beautiful balcony view and was spotlessly clean. The homemade breakfasts were delicious, and I loved having access to a well-equipped kitchen. Their personal touch and helpful advice made me feel right at home. Highly recommend! Will definitely return.

    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.

    I only stayed for 2 nights, but had a great time with the host family. They were so friendly and warmly accommodated all my needs. Even though my departure was in the middle of the night(2:40AM), Chamith arranged a drop off service for me by tuktuk. The location is good and safe, easy to access two supermarkets. When I have a chance to visit Sri Lanka, I will definitely book Hellen Homestay again!
