Location is excellent right next to beach, and honestly for the price it’s still pretty competitive. There was quite a lot of bugs in the bathroom though, it was hard for me to look past that. Otherwise I enjoyed the stay in a good location. Bedsheets clean, normal room amenities like coffee/heater/tea. ##### Joseph Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris Jan 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet Negombo stay Very good stay, staff and food were great, the room was fine but the bed could have been a little more comfy/bathroom was austere, so for a first spot after a long long flight the room could have been a little comfier in hindsight for our needs.

They couldn't find my reservation but found me an available room. Nice clean spacious room. The window had a view to a wall in little hallway. Had a good meal at the resto on the porch. Nicely located ditectly on beach. Very nice outdoor space bohemian syle with lots of sitting area. ##### Nathalie Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### T Jan 17, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Room not ready, A/C didn't work. We didn't stay. The air conditioning for our allocated room had failed. We were offered 2 noisy alternatives off-site. With apologies all round we took our bags without checking in and went to a hotel found by our driver. There the air conditioning in the quiet clean onsite room worked and we checked in there instead. ##### T Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Keith Mar 27, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities We stayed for one night. The staff were very warm and welcoming. The restaurant food was a good quality. We booked the apartment as we needed the separate beds for children. The apartment is not actually faced into the interior garden, it is accessed from the road at the front. The apartment photos are not representative of the reality. The kitchen was scruffy and not very well maintained. The apartment doesn't have "proper" AC but a noisy stand alone unit that didn't really keep the rooms cool. The courtyard garden is a really nice place to sit and relax so it's a shame the apartment is not really part of the whole vibe. ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonia Oct 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely gardens and beachfront: a great combination My husband and I spent our last night in Sri Lanka at the Ice Bear. Because it is low season we were the only guests in the house and we got a free upgrade which we much appreciated. The service was great. The room was nice. The shower in the bathroom has an open ceiling and the floor was wet when it rained. To be more eco friendly, the rooms could have screens in the windows and fans so that the AC can be spared. The guesthouse takes only cash as payment. This was a surprise when we checked out but luckily we had just enough cash to cover the bill. We loved the gardens and the quiet atmosphere. ##### Sonia Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities See previous review ##### Jeremy Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jodie Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place should be removed from Expedia as an option to choose from. We had several COCKROACHES in the kitchen, living room, etc. in fact, they left a bottle of RAID on the kitchen counter. Absolutely disgusting! We could get out of there fast enough. A door to the outside wasn’t even the size of the door frame and had about a 3 inch opening for critters to just get in. No air conditioning either. All around horrid! ##### Jodie ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie Mar 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Très agréable guesthouse sur la plage Ce petit hôtel (une dizaine de chambres) est idéalement situé sur la plage de Negombo (moins d'une demi heure). Personnel agréable et serviable, joli jardin en bordure de plage, petite carte au restaurant mais tout est bien cuisiné et savoureux. Notre chambre était spacieuse, propre et bien décorée. En revanche, juste 2 serviettes de toilette de couleur, une savonnette et un tapis de bain ayant connu des jours meilleurs étaient à notre disposition. Cela dit, je recommande cet établissement. ##### Marie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Niels Laessoe Mar 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place A fantastic place with the most beautiful garden.

I highly recommend it ##### Niels Laessoe Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nostalgie. leuke inrichting en prachtige tuin. gelegen aan de indische oceaan. geen luxe voorzieningen maar een unieke sfeer. Zeer toegangelijke staf en managment. We voelden ons er goed thuis. muggen af en toe lastig maar een goede antispray helpt. Ondanks de muggen voor herhaling vatbaar. we hebben er een goed gevoel en tevredenheid aan overgehouden ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Nov 7, 2024 ##### Adam Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Key Largo](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d8369-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [ Atelier Playa Mujeres - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Sam-Hotels-Atelier-Playa-Mujeres-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h27527416.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.ca/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Embarc Ucluelet](https://www.expedia.ca/Ucluelet-Hotels-Embarc-Ucluelet.h16119982.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Pendini](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Pendini.h54105.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dillon](https://www.expedia.ca/Dillon-Hotels.d6872.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal](https://www.expedia.ca/Swartz-Bay-Ferry-Terminal-Hotels.0-l6253395-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kamloops](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels.d3979.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Bristol](https://www.expedia.ca/Bristol-Hotels.d688.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Comfort Inn New Glasgow](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-New-Glasgow.h23494.Hotel-Information) > > [Rawley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Severn-Hotels-Rawley-Resort.h10486809.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [FOX JAFFNA by Fox Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-FOX-JAFFNA-By-Fox-Resorts.h17399149.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Rio de Janeiro (GIG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/gig/vancouver-to-rio-de-janeiro) > > [Flights from El Nido (ENI) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/eni/mnl/el-nido-to-manila) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Houston (HOU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/hou/hamilton-to-houston) > > [Flights from Bangor (BGR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bgr/yyz/bangor-to-toronto) > > [Flights from San José (SJO) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sjo/yvr/san-jose-to-vancouver) > > [Delta](https://www.expedia.ca/Delta-Flights.cDL.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Santa María Huatulco (HUX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/hux/calgary-to-huatulco) ### Packages > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Kraay Family Farm](https://www.expedia.ca/Kraay-Family-Farm-Alberta.d553248635975698472.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
