    Nothing.

    Lovely and quiet property away from the centre of Columbo, but easy to get around in the plentiful and cheap tuk tuks that are easily accessible. Sita is the wonderful and friendly housekeeper and made us feel very welcome. She prepared a yummy Sri Lankan breakfast and also cooked for us twice in the evenings, a delicious and plentiful curry for US$10 each. The owner, Glenn, although not there when we stayed was very helpful prior to arrival and organised a taxi for us from the airport. Very good value for money and would recommend a stay here.

    The Wi-Fi was shocking.The toilet seat was loose and moved when you sat on it. The tap also was loose and moved around when you used it. I know it’s a bit petty but if you say it gives them the heads up to put it right.After all that’s what reviews are for, I think.

    Sita and Yannik were really friendly and helpful.The breakfast was really good.Nice big and comfortable bed.We were only there one night.Glen the owner was overseas working but still messaged us to make sure we had everything we needed.He also said we could message him if we needed any tips going forward on our trip.That’s what I call great customer service 👌🏻.I would highly recommend a stay here if you are in the area.

    Our room didn’t have a mosquito net, which would have been helpful since there were quite a few mosquitoes inside. .

    The villa is beautifully decorated, conveniently located in the quiet part of the city, and the staff are very friendly.

    Lovely stay at 27, the place was super clean, nicely located and Glenn has been a perfect host helping us to get organised for both a transfer from the airport with the amazing Darrel and booking a great tuk tuk city tour in Colombo. Sita was also truly amazing and prepared a delicious breakfast - we felt at home and can only recommend +++ ! Thanks for making our first hours in Sri Lanka so perfect !

    Nothing to dislike

    The accommodaation was in very nice and calm locality, close to city centre. The house itself nicely decorated for Christmas, and rooms are big enough to keep luggage. The caretaker Sita was very humble and helpful person.. We reached well past 11pm, welcomed us with smiling face. Though we ciuldn't meet the owner, but he was always there to help/suggest from the date of booking. Many eateries are near by... We would love to stay again in future.

    good quiet location but easy access to everything via tuk tuk. Sita is very helpful and a kind person. helped us get our sim card sorted ( there was a long queue at the airport and it was so simple to sort just round the corner from the house). we ate Sita's home made fish curry and it was even nicer than the quite posh restaurant we went to on our second night! finally, we were both a bit washed out from our long flight and we got into the room a little early and stayed a couple of hours after checking out which meant so much to us. thanks again Sita. And Glenn who was very helpful via messaging.

    Communication prior to arrival was absolutely great, and a lot of helpful information with advice was given. We got room to take a rest before check-in as we arrived very early in the morning. Sita, our lovely host, made very nice breakfasts and was very friendly and hospitable. The place is a home-like cosy and nicely decorated with a small, beautiful garden outside.

    Absolutely perfect in every way. The house is beautiful, beds are very comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious. The area felt very safe and there are plenty of good restaurants, Cafes, and bakery within a short walk. The hosts left a very helpful guide book with recommendations. Sita is such a lovely person and a seriously good cook. Would definitely recommend having at least one meal at the property - you will not regret it! Glenn (the host) was very helpful and responsive Highly recommend!

    Nothing. But just as a small suggestion, for longer stays it would be nice to provide fresh sheets / towels at some point. Otherwise everything was perfect and I would definitely book the property again.

    Everything! Location was perfect for me as I had business nearby. Room was very comfortable with beautiful furniture, interior design and a modern bathroom. Breakfast was outstanding and I highly recommend trying one of Sita’s home cooked Sri Lanka dinners.

    The only minor inconvenience was being unable to have a nice hot shower because the property uses solar panels and we stayed during the off-season - so little sun! Having said that, the water wasn’t cold, more lukewarm and it really didn’t bother us much because it was so humid anyway.

    As the name says, a true oasis in a hectic city! We felt very at home and slept like babies in the huge and very comfortable bed. The style of the home is beautiful and all the essentials we could need were provided (lamps, some toiletries, free drinking water). Breakfast was delicious and from the moment we booked Glenn was extremely helpful in his recommendations for transport and things to do. The info book is such a simple addition that makes a huge difference. Seetha was also wonderful, even taking our laundry to be cleaned on the day we arrived. The location is fab, walking distance or a short tuk tuk ride to many cafes and shops. Getting to the main touristy part with all the sights is easy and it’s much nicer to stay out of the hectic centre. I would 100% recommend.

    The location in Havelock town was a good ride away from the main Colombo city, maybe 10-15 minutes with kamikaze bus drivers! The local Tuk and taxi drivers didn't appear to know where the accommodation was as it was tucked away, but didn't cause too much of a problem.

    Great greeting by an enthusiastic host, eager to share his extensive knowledge of Colombo and Sri Lanka in general. Good size room with comfortable bed, adequate shower facilities. Lovely breakfast with what we later found to be typical Sri Lanka breakfast fare. Staff were all eager to please and nothing was too much problem.
