Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia

A very welcome stay! Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Recommend!

Thanks to Ishany for hosting and supporting me during my stay. The food is excellent and the setting is very peaceful. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Bonus point for the decoration which is very beautiful. Finally it's clean and well-equipped, thank you! :)

This bnb is one of the best places we've ever stayed. The personnel were extremely courteous and helped us not only for our stay with them, but also with the rest of our stay in Sri Lanka. We are already looking at staying with them in future vacations. The rooms were clean and well appointed. Air conditioning and fans both available. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and we used the pool. It was nice too. We will recommend this place to all friends looking to travel here.

Priya's place is great! He is a great host and his staff is very friendly. It is close to the airport.

Hans and the staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them , small incident and was sorted immediately by Hans. Food was very good . Very happy and would come again.

I have stayed at numerous Airbnbs, hotels, hostels, and homestays around the world, and Namal’s place is hands down the best place I’ve stayed so far. The art, the architecture, the garden, the library...it’s all stunning. It’s the perfect place to stay for any lover of art, literature, and architecture. His maid Chandra is a wonderful chef with a heart of gold who will always make sure you’ve got everything you need. Namal was out of the country so she helped me with transportation and local tips. There isn’t any hot water but you really don’t need it as Colombo is very hot year round and all you want is a cool shower after a day of sightseeing. The house is dripping in beautiful works of art, wondrous tapestries and sculptures from around the world, and scores of classic literature. I will definitely be back. Colombo isn’t the best part of Sri Lanka but Namal’s house is an artist’s haven in this crazy city. Do book your stay here. You won’t regret it.

We arrived very early compared to check-in time, but they made us settle in and served water and tea. They prepared the room for us as soon as possible and were always very helpful. Sanjeewa is very present but discreet, very willing to answer any questions. The breakfast was also very traditional and they explained to us all the food and their preparation well. A really nice place, if we'll go back to negombo, I'll be back!

What a nice place located in a really good neighbourhood with cafees and shopping. Nice room, good bed and really friendly staff.

Do not hesitate to book a stay here ✨ I am not sure what part of the experience was my favourite! It was my second stay at Black Cat and as before it was the perfect welcome to Sri Lanka. The team are friendly and helpful, the room and bed extremely comfortable, the atmosphere relaxed, the space beautifully curated, and the coffee delicious! We arrived on the night of a jazz evening and they even managed to squeeze a table in for us at the sold out event. They shared local recommendations (highly recommend the Sri Lanka Rustic Food Experiences cooking class with Nim) and the location was convenient whether you’re walking or getting a taxi/tuk tuk. The downstairs restaurant is ideal for meeting friends, catching up on work or just reading in the aircon or outside on the terrace. Cannot wait to visit again!

Great place with beautiful paddy field views. Kind and hospitable hosts.

The hostess is very friendly, she made us feel very welcome and the room was amazing 😁

Delightful hosts, lovely room at a great location and great breakfast. What more can you wish for! Being sustainable, being green, is more that just words here. Two of the local dogs are allowed to stay at the parking and when one littered, the lovely staff found homes for all pups! For me this is truly embracing and taking care of the environment in which you conduct business. It is possible to walk to the park and there a lots of nice restaurants near by.

Padminee was a really very kind host. They welcomed us and prepared super breakfasts and gave us helpful information about places to visit. The room was nice and the fan allowed us not to feel the heat. They were really nice and helpful!

This place was a real find in the heart of a fishing community. The accommodation was comfortable and used by backpackers. The joy of staying was its authenticity - sitting in the courtyard, relaxing on the beach in hammocks and eating fresh food in their fish restaurant. It was extremely pretty and carefully considered. Breakfast pancakes were pretty good too!!

Great room, with air conditioning and hot water. Large and comfortable bathroom. The room overlooks the garden, where the birds fly and the sounds of the jungle can be heard. The house is very clean. The host is an amazingly kind and sociable person who also loves to travel. Constantly treated me to all sorts of goodies. The house is located in a quiet location in a residential area, while within walking distance you can find parks, cafes, restaurants, shops and laundry’s. Also a 15-minute taxi ride is the bus station and the railway station, from which you can go anywhere in Sri Lanka. The center of Colombo is about 20-30 minutes by scooter.

Our stay was great and the room was one of the best of our stay - the price is super fair and the host very helpful.
