Unlike anything I’ve seen before. Rooms and common areas are artfully decorated with trinkets from around the world. My room was overlooking the lake and it felt like I was living in the jungle, surrounded by plants. Bed was super comfy and the rain shower was great. The pool and view over the lake were incredible. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was delicious, we had plans to head out to Colombo but decided to stay and enjoy the property and had all our meals there. A personalised experience with great hosts, thanks for everything!

Without an iota of doubt, I would strongly recommend this property for both families & work related travel. This is unlike any property where the owners go beyond the normal hospitality (expected out of any hotel) and make you feel that you are staying in a place which you have known for eternity. The morning breakfast they prepare is delicious and healthy. Especially for folks like me with dietary restrictions, they make sure our needs are properly met. Their friendly approach is truly remarkable. I now know where to stay in Colombo whenever I come back.

Most amazing host and hostess. The house is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing and the location really quiet, but not to far from the center. They will make their best to make you feel at home. They have everything you might ever want.

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.

It’s a wonderful house. I didn’t realize it was a home stay, but was very grateful it was for my list night in Sri Lanka. When I walked in, music was playing and the water sounds coming from the indoor garden’s pond immediately made me feel like I had stepped out of the busy city and into an oasis. Relaxing house with lots of nooks and crannies, areas to curl up and read a book. I wish I had spent another night.

This is a wonderful homestay. You get your private room with bathroom and balcony. Kitchen and living room is shared with the owners which are very friendly and helpful. All is with nice furniture and very clean. The apartment is at the 4th floor of 11 and on the rooftop you can enjoy a pool and gym and wonderful view all over Colombo. Highly recommended.

Uncle Ben and his wife made us feel very welcome in their homestay which is nicely located in the quiet, yet still lively neighbourhood of Bambalapitiya. The room and bathroom were clean and we were served a very tasty and rich sri lankan breakfast. We would definitely recommend Visakha 6 for a decent stay in Colombo!

It’s like a homestay. Had to wait 10m Infront of it, but then we had no further issues. Had the best showers in Sri Lanka over there. A lot of pressure ;) It’s a little bit ghostly in this house which is kinda some shared living space, but we basically had the house for us. There was a kitchen in the basement too.
