We had to work remotely on our first day in Negombo, so we chose a more spacious room. The room was huge, with sofa and table, but we still ended up working at the breakfast area by the river, and by the pool later on. We had the srilankan breakfast, which included curry and dhal, eggs and toast, as well as fruits and tea/coffee. Good wifi, good breakfast, nice pool, and great service.

Kenneth set up Mango House originally to cater for Japanese tourists to Sri Lanka. Post-COVID he made the decision to open up to everyone and I'm so glad he did. The grounds are immaculate, and there is such an obvious sense of pride in what he does. The guest house is essentially it's own little compound with gardens and a pool, And is such a wonderfully peaceful break from the chaos.

    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.

    I only stayed for 2 nights, but had a great time with the host family. They were so friendly and warmly accommodated all my needs. Even though my departure was in the middle of the night(2:40AM), Chamith arranged a drop off service for me by tuktuk. The location is good and safe, easy to access two supermarkets. When I have a chance to visit Sri Lanka, I will definitely book Hellen Homestay again!

    Comfortable large bed, superb service, freshwater pool and fantastic breakfast. If you like interacting with the locals then you can sit on the beach a short walk away with the fishermen and their families away from the hawkers. Sunil was a great host taking care of everything for us
