+The owner was very friendly, he gave me a drink on arrival and waited for me to arrive after a delay at the airport. He made me breakfast in the morning and ate with me, the room was clean and comfortable. Can’t go wrong for the price! Thank you.

“Hidden gem in Negombo with good value”
+Great place for our first night in Sri Lanka at hotel dorset. The room was super clean, fresh and comfortable. Looks like everything is nicely updated. Aircon and hot water worked perfectly. The host family is so friendly and helpful. Really good value for money near beach and airport.

“The worst was 3,5% extra for card payment and paid eater bottles. Big nono.”
+It was really clean and there was wonderful breakfast (exept terrible coffee) - all points i give to this hotel because the clean and breakfast.
−I booked this hotel because of its high ratings and the fact that it advertised 24-hour service. I expected friendly and welcoming staff. When we arrived after a 36-hour journey, the gates were closed. I had to open them myself, walk along a narrow path into a dark courtyard, and knock on the door (there was no doorbell). The door was opened fairly quickly, but the owner appeared sleepy and unprepared. I had indicated in advance that I needed parking for a car. Parking is technically available, but it is located on a road barely the width of a car. I had to reposition the car several times because he was not satisfied with how I parked. In the end, my side mirror was almost touching the wall. Be careful when paying by credit card , they charge an additional 3.5% fee, which is not mentioned in the description. We arrived late at night and had no alternative, so we had to pay it. We were “kindly” shown the bottled water in the room , for an extra charge at a rather steep price. I also asked for a late check-out, but this was refused. In the morning, there was no sign of any cleaning staff anyway. This is a small house that does not really feel like a proper hotel. The rooms are dark

“Huge disappointment, worst place we had stayed in a month in Sri Lanka.”
+Nothing
−Attitude on 1st day, demanded our cash, then left us waiting downstairs in a unwelcoming lobby, room not ready, no explanation. Paid for the "better" room with balcony, not pleasant, paid far too much as not worth £59 per night. Tiny cups, asked for some cold milk to use for tea, told to go to shop. Not a problem in any other place we stayed. 1st morning breakfast no question as to what type of food, so were given Sri Lankan and western so wasted food. Only fruit was banana! Better 2nd morning. Nowhere nice to eat, stuck at a table behind a desk looking out at a car and a wall, no restaurant as advertised. The whole place is a mess not a hotel! Never saw any other guests. Room next door to ours felt like the people were in the room with us! A very strange place and not sure how previous marks were given. Moved out after 2 nights to a very pleasant small beachfront hotel much cheaper so lost money!

“Room for an overnight in Negombo”
+This is more of a bed & breakfast as opposed to a hotel but nonetheless, a good location for one night after landing in CMB airport (it’s not too far). It’s two roads back from the beach and there are various restaurants nearby. The room was simple, the bathroom somewhat dated but clean. The bed had a mosquito net, which was needed considering every time the door was opened, they would fly in. The room had a kettle and tiny cups. The owner was responsive via the message function on booking.com. Originally had asked them to organise a pick up from the airport but the price quoted was higher than others.
−Some observations: - There is a lack of soundproofing, so noise from outside or above or next door easily heard - The driveway is not wide enough for cars, only Tuk tuks or bikes.
