Manik Home Stay

They were very accommodating of our early morning flight. Nice, tidy room and delicious breakfast. Only flaw was no hot water for showers, but that wasn’t a big deal.

Very nice property with friendly owners of this guest house. Very nice room in the central Negombo Beach Area. It is an ala carte property. A/C is an extra $10/night, breakfast $5/night, airport transfer $16/night. I took Uber to the airport for $5 and ate in the surrounding restaurants. Extra for A/C seems to be the norm for the area. The room is great but no A/C or hot water. I was there in December and it was 32 C or 88 F degrees. Even though the locals do it all of the time and the ceiling fan helps, I cannot imagine staying here in warmer months. They also have a devise and netting to keep the mosquitos under control. Overall, it’s a nice place.

Spent our first and last night at Manik, the room was clean spacious and the staff was very accommodating. The location is perfect right on the strip by the beach with lots of shops and restaurants. It is a family business and they also have a tour agency, we used them as well for the beginning of our stay and highly recommend the home stay and tour agency. Also great location if you have to go to the airport! We had an amazing time in Sri Lanka and want to go back, if we do we will definitely stay at Manik Home Stay.

Well located, spacious and authentic accommodation with a lovely host. Manik brought us fresh juice on arrival and made us feel very welcome. Excellent value for money!
