We were only here for one night and an early morning the next day however the staff were lovely and the rooms were fantastic. Super clean and easy to check in. Thank you for packing a breakfast super early the morning after. Would love to come back in the future.

Everything from start to finish. Sampath is just an EXCEPTIONAL host! He welcomed us, offered tea/coffee/snacks, gave us plenty of tips and ideas about what to do in the area. Personally took us to some places. The Eco Lodge is kept extremely nice and clean. Very comfortable beds and all facilities. Also, Sampath's wife is an amazing cook. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious and our wishes were totally taken into account. They also have a super cute dog and cat. Just... Book this place, it's amazing!

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.

We stayed two nights at Greenscape. The personal was so helpful, and always ready to answer questions. The room was big, clean and nicely ventilated. We enjoyed our stay so much, and would recommend. The place is a Tuktuk ride away from the city, so easy access. Its a quiet area and a small walk away from restaurants
