    We had an amazing stay here. The hosts, Sam and Steph, are the most kind, welcoming people you could meet. The staff are very helpful, nothing was a problem for them. The Sri Lankan omelette for breakfast was the best I'd had in the three weeks of travelling the country. Mount Bay Guest House rooms have all that you would expect at more expensive hotels. All the boxes are ticked. A very comfortable stay.

    Super host, Mr Raja, very attentive to our needs. Provided breakfast which wasn't expected but very welcome. Also complimentary cleaning of the apartment. Allowed us to use the lovely garden area to invite friends round to a bbq and even marinated the meatstuff for us. AC was good, and free wifi too. Location very convenient just outside of Colombo, very quiet with no traffic noise or fumes.

    Only 100m from Mt Levinia beach. Only 20 minutes by car to Colombo city center (e.g. Fort railway station). Modern, large and comfortable rooms with AC, toilette and shower. There is an area with table, fridge and water heater and a sofa which can be used jointly. Very friendly host, breakfast is amazing, if you like also with local stuff.

    I’ve stayed at the Villa in Lavinia many times. Since there has been a new manager it has gotten even better. Great location (just outside the city centre (which can be very noisy and crazy) in a nice, calm neighbourhood. The staff are super friendly and helpful and everything is very clean and nicely decorated. A boutique favourite for a very reasonable price.
