Very big and comfortable bed. Room spacious with good lightning. You have a desk and wardrobe to keep your stuff in. Big bathroom with hot shower. The outside area is very clean and quiet. Perfect for your morning coffee. Kitchen available to all for cooking your breakfast. Also washing machine available (extra fee). It's close to the airport so it's great after your flight and before your flight as we did 😍 Staff very nice and welcoming. If you land in Colombo you should choose this one!

My partner and I had the best stay at Star Canal Cottage. After receiving a great tuk tuk tour around Negombo from Leon at the start of our trip, we stayed at his guesthouse before our departure too due to his friendliness and consideration. Our room very clean, spacious and light, with a powerful hot shower in the bathroom. The location is great, close to the city centre with restaurants nearby, but down a quiet canal road to enjoy the peace. We read and listened to the birds on the terrace during the day, while drinking home made lime juice before an excellent dinner of home-made prawns from Leon. A wonderfully kind, funny, and diligent host (and now friend), we will recommend Star Canal Cottage to anyone wishing to visit Sri Lanka :)

Beautiful house, with huge rooms. We got the room with a nice private terrace with the view of the front entry and swimming pool. We had to spent a night in Negombo because we had to give back our rental tuk tuk and we had a very late/night flight home. The guy that runs the place made as a fantastic traditional breakfast, we were able to park our tuk tuk in the garden. He let us stay in the house after check out. So we were able to rest on the sofa in the huge living room, use the bathroom and the swimming pool. The best thing in Negombo was this place

    They are a fantastic host family. 🫶🏽 It is a tranquil neighborhood off the main road but close enough for a leisurely walk. I highly recommend it for a short or long stay. It is a very clean and comfortable environment.

    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.
