Staying in this house is a lifetime experience. You do not get a room. You live in a 120 m2 apartment with a huge, beautiful living room and more.

It was a dream to stay in such a beautiful, meditative, artistic home! Priyantha and the staff were lovely, breakfast was amazing, I really hope to get back one day. Wonderful place, especially if you're a writer or creative, very inspiring.

This is one of those absolutely special spaces that will truly be experienced when you stay there, Bawa magic all the way! If you're someone that enjoys architecture that reveals itself through thoughtful details - this is an experience you must have and open your world to Geoffrey Bawa's wizardry. The staff is so warm and it feels like you're straight up at home in Colombo - go out of the way to take care of you. Comfiest apartment, you're in a living, breathing piece of art. Ideal for 2 people as there is only one bathroom in the apartment, though there are two (gorgeous) bedrooms. The staff informed us about this well in time so it wasn't a problem for any of us - but folks who many not be too close may want to consider this.

be prepared for an old bathroom. it's like staying at for grandma's place. But I would still recommend this place sincerely because it's truly one of the kind on this planet.

To have the chance to see Mr. BAWA's collection in no distance, and to get introduced the history and stories of the house in such an incredible details by Mr. Rohana who's a very warm guy, This stay totally worth the price!!

This is such a unique and special experience. Any Bawa fans should take the opportunity to stay at this residence while in Colombo. The breakfast provided is generous and delicious. The staff are very kind and passionate about maintaining Bawa’s legacy and provide guidance without making you feel like you need to be overly concerned or precious about your surroundings. An incredible stay that I highly recommend.

Exceptional and unique. Service and cleanliness was impeccable. The room itself is very spacious, and at a comfortable temperature despite the heat outside. Piyanth, our host, was friendly and accomodating. Highly recommended - the sort of experience you will not find in any hotel or resort. We were pleasantly surprised, and the very high rating is well deserved.

It was marvelous to experience Geoffrey Bawa's eyes and soul through this stay. Extremely relaxing and beautiful, through out the space and breakfast. The housekeeper Rohana was surprisingly impressive in his hospitality and professional at touring Bawa's residence. Definitely will visit again!

What a beautiful and special place to stay. A small glimpse into Bawas incredibly creative and rich mind - it was such a one-of-a-kind stay that we were so glad we booked. The staff were the kindest and welcoming people, the place was amazing and the location was great. A must stay in Colombo!

Amazing breakfast, amazing hospitality we felt so welcome! Design is obviously very special.

Almost nothing. The only thing i’d say is that the hot water for the shower didn’t seem to last all that long, but this is a trivial issue.

Unique place to stay. Truly beautiful. Wonderful, thoughtfully designed home created by a legendary architect. We felt very lucky to stay here. Absolutely lovely staff - so kind and peaceful and friendly and this really added to the experience and sense of tranquility and happiness here. Great generous breakfast which we enjoyed in a quiet and beautiful spot.

Seriously loved staying in this private oasis, tucked in behind high walls and lit by beautifully positioned lightwells. The white epoxy floor and white walls and ceilings create a beautiful light space decorated with Geoff Bawas collection of artefacts. Feel so privileged to stay here. The Sri Lankan breakfast was beautiful looking out to the courtyard.
