    I loved the dogs and cats that they keep. Breakfast is also delicious and the pool to refresh. Very nice people that will help you with all your questions. They give you good recommandations for restaurants and prices for the tuktuk.

    Beautifully furnished this Villa was a perfect stay for our last 2 days in SL. The owners are super friendly and the many cats and dogs were super cute. Well located you are at the beach in under 10 min, mainstreet with shops and restaurants as well (try their own Centella Bistro, very good Rice&Curry and cake!).

    Gorgeous little place tucked away in negombo. Nilashi (part owner) is an amazing human caring for all the dogs & cats he has rescued. (They were half the reason I booked 😄). Dennis (part owner) very kindly advised my route to weligama. All the staff are helpful and kind. Make sure to check out their restaurant down the road! A breakfast was also prepared for me to take away as i left early (the omlette sandwhich was delicious!). Sociable and welcoming place, I felt very comfortable as a solo woman. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    This was our last destination in Sri Lanka and really made it hard to leave The place itself is lovely, with a nice pool area and spacious clean rooms. The owner was very welcoming, and he spent time chatting with us and explaining how he dedicates part of his life to rescue local cats and dogs. There were a lot of rescue cats there, which made our staying even more pleasant. The Villa is close to the centre and you can find loads of restaurants and cafes nearby and also Brown beach is just a few minutes away. He also owns a restaurant not far away,which was also a good find. Would highly recommend!

    The bathroom had a horrible mouldy shower curtain. Apart from that, it was fine. There are lots of rescued cats at the villa and two well behaved dogs. Not a problem for us but might be for some.

    A lovely place to stay for four days at the end of our trip. The pool was clean and had a little bit of shade. Our pool view balcony room was comfortable and cleaned halfway through our stay. Breakfast was good, choice of eggs, nice bread, fruit and curd with honey. Location is good, about a 5 minute walk to the main road where there are lots of shops and restaurants. We'd stay here again.

    This hotel is in a great location - pool is lovely and breakfast simple but very pleasant. The owners are extremely helpful and local restaurant an bars are great - it was a very relaxing end to our holiday as we had travelled around a lot - if we went back I would start in this hotel and finish here as well as super close to the airport. They also look after your bags or you can stay a half day if you have a late flight.

    I loved my stay at Villa Kapuru. The rooms were comfortable and I enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. The Villa has loads of places you can sit and read which I loved. But for me it was the cats that made it! They are so gorgeous and it is amazing that they have all been rescued and rehabilitated by the owners. BRAVO!

    Only wished we could have stayed longer

    What a gem! A lovely hotel in a quiet area but within easy walking distance of the main area and beach. It backs onto the canal with a beautiful swimming pool at the front. We stayed in a deluxe double with pool view and could not fault it. Comfy bed, large room, good air con with large bathroom and hot shower. The pool was sparklingly clean and the area around it lovely. There are chairs and a huge day bed to relax on either overlooking the pool or canal. The owners were lovely and really helpful with good advice. I would highly recommend this hotel.

    A little outdated but nothing to complain over.

    Clean room, good size, friendly staff, nice little pool to cool off, delicious breakfast, good location walking distance to beach and main road yet on a smaller quieter street. Lots of cute and not intrusive dogs and cats for animal lovers 🙂

    Only Negombo itself didn't appeal to me too much, so I spent all the more time in the accommodation, which I don't regret! :)

    The villa is very lovingly and tastefully furnished! Together with the extremely friendly and helpful staff, adorable pets, lots of plants, views of the river and the pool, it's a real place to feel at home. And if you want to go to the beach to watch breathtaking sunsets or have something for dinner, it only takes 5 minutes! All in all, I can only recommend it for a start in Sri Lanka!

    Really cute and comfortable place to arrive in Sri Lanka, settle and organise your trip :) Villa Kapuru is in Negombo, super close to the airport and walking distance from the main road of the city with restaurants, shops, as well as the beach. The rooms are clean and comfortable, there is a pool to freshen up and the breakfast is very nice, served in the pool-patio area. The staff is really nice and helpful too, I had to send some things over there and there was no problem - thanks a lot!! Also, they have a super nice restaurant in the town: Centella Bistro, so you should check that out too!!
