Serendib village negombo is well located from the airport. The drive from airport to the place is good and takes approximately 25/30 minutes. The hotel is a family run establishment so unless you are expecting a at hand service like a hotel you wont be disappointed. The place is surrounded by villas and homes of other locals, the rooms don’t have any view except a common verandah shared by guests in total about 6 rooms in this property and a swimming pool.

The breakfast is served by the adjacent forest where you are sure to catch a glimpse of the monitor lizard. The breakfast is decent and consists of fruits, bread, butter and jam along with an omelette and tea.

Things to remember:

- Bring cash for your payment they do not accept any digital payments nor debit / credit cards only Cash - USD / LKR.

- Please carry a mosquito repellent

- There is a restaurant that goes by the name of “Jude” which is very close to the property a 10 min walk they serve some awesome dinner with great music at decent prices. Don’t miss this restaurant.

Quiet home stay conveniently located near airport.

This is an amazing place.  I cannot speak to highly of the setting and staff.  Also the amazing breakfast.  The rooms are large and the beds really comfortable.  Like living in the jungle with so much wild life around.  Only a few minutes walk to the beach and town.

Well done to Milinda and all the staff.  See you next year Pam

Amazing

Great little guest house in the back streets of Negombo. Great for a couple of nights at the beginning or end of a trip to Sri Lanka since it's only 30 min from the airport. The place has a laid-back vibe & is only 10 minutes walk from the high street & the beach. The owner, Melinda, couldn't have been more helpful during our 2 night stay. Our room was big and comfortable and, apart from the 5 o'clock call to prayer from a local mosque, very peaceful. Breakfasts are excellent and are served on the terrace overlooking the canal. Look out for the Water Monitor that prowls in the canal!
Overall highly recommended.

Great place to start or end your visit to Sri Lanka 

Serendib Guest House checks all the boxes at this price level. The many staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable and very clean, the breakfast & coffee is satisfying and the pool & courtyard area is it’s crowning jewel - a small but serine and beautiful oasis. The staff work throughout the day to keep it looking and feeling that way too.

Worth more than just an overnight stay for the airport.

Great walkable location to the Main Street and attraction 5/10 minutes. Beach is very close. We had room on the second floor. Room is very spacious and comfortable for family. Air conditioner working well. We had balcony/terrace to enjoy. Family was very hospitable and all employees helpful. Organise everything for us. 15/20 minutes from airport. Breakfast very authentic and delicious. Enjoy swimming pool as well. 

Family friendly place.

I’d highly recommend this hotel – the staff helped us arrange a taxi from the airport and they were so helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were large and clean, the pool and outdoor areas were so tranquil and the breakfast was one of the best (and biggest!) I’ve ever had. It’s an ideal location to get to from the airport and is only a short tuk tuk ride from Negombo city. I’d definitely stay again if I’m ever back in Sri Lanka!

Lovely little hidden gem

Lovely atmosphere, great value for money and cleanliness. We found the manager to be very helpful and pleasant. Nice location not far from the beach and a short walk to some really good  restaurants - Lords, Jude, Oceans 14 (on the beach). 

Some watch outs 1) ask the manager how the electric sockets work if you are using 2 pin 2) easier to get a hot shower later in the day 3) if its humid and you want to avoid the risk of being ravaged by mosquitos over breakfast (like i was) , then ask for a table near the pool, and away from the canal. 

Overall, a nice little tucked away treasure!

Nice Boutique Guest House

Really nice and quite place to stay, once you arrive and want to spend first days to recover from the trip. Good size and clean Rooms. Owner can arrange pick up from the airport, which is reliable. The pool is also great asset to refresh in the morning or evening. Place to recommend.

Great place to stay after long trip.

review say nice place, not clean, breakfast at dirty place by dirty river. owner not nice not care about gusts.owner no truthful saying not good things. garden dirty outside machine noise, dirty place to eat.

Is no good

Serendib is really close to the airport, which was perfect for us as we arrived at night and the taxi ride (organised for us by the hotel) was short and comfortable.

The room was HUGE, with a sofa inside and outside on the terrace, fridge, air conditioning, and a large bed. The bathroom could use some refurbishment, but was fine. For example, they had taped the window closed, I presume either for keeping bugs our or keeping condensation in.

Serendib is sitting beside a stream, which you can watch whilst you eat their amazing (Sri Lankan) breakfast which came included. It was so peaceful to sit with a large pot of coffee, good food, and watching the birds in the river. We also saw monitor lizards every morning which was fascinating to watch over breakfast.

I didn't test the pool out as the sun didn't quite stick around because of the location. Maybe if we stayed another day I would've tested it out in the morning.

The beach is about 5 minutes walk away, which is great. The only "issue" is that the walk is on a bit of a dirt track, which didn't feel the safest (even though it was perfectly safe). You have one route in and out of the hotel, so you'll find yourself walking it quite a lot if you stay a few days.

We really enjoyed the stay, and would recommend it!
