The host and her son were friendly and they made me feel welcome.

There wasn't anything that I didn't like.

Absolutely delightful homestay, we kept on coming back and back here every time we found ourselves in Colombo! The house is in a great neighbourhood, the owner and her son are so incredibly sweet and helpful, and the room is all we could have asked for - clean, spacious, with good aircon and with hot water always available. Cannot explain even how much we enjoyed our stay here, and we cannot recommend it enough! Thank you so much!

The host. She was so nice and charming. I really felt like home.

Everything was great. Nothing to complain about.

The host family has been nice for first several days of our stay. The location is relatively calm among other places we have stayed at. There are several shops and restaurants relatively close that are reachable by taxi or tuktuk.

The more we've stayed, the more rules they have pulled out of their sleeves. The price is not cheap, $20 per night, in other, more developed countries you get much better rooms for cheaper. Here the light has been insufficient, we've had constant problems with electricity, there is even a rule that we cant eat at our room (what? we've rented it, during the stay its ours). I got the feeling that the owner just implied that we had to pay for meals that are not even that good. The place has been quite dirty yet they had audacity to tell us to throw away the trash every day due to ant infestation. No fridge in the room. We had to put our stuff in the host family's fridge which has always been full so not much space for us. There's been some problem with the lock. The owner has told us to leave it as she always stays at home but of course its a bad way to deal with problems. The host is quite loud, early in the morning i had to hear her exclaims and frankly got so tired of it Overall, I recommend coming for 1-2 days only. We have ended up staying for a week and got treatment like we are unwanted guests even though we have brought money to their family than average foreigners who stay for a couple of days.
