Luxe CL
This is probably one of the most beautiful and highest quality apartments in all of Colombo. We have been coming to Sri Lanka since 2015 and have stayed in many places. Nicola's attention to detail and quality is unmistakable. If you have discerning taste and want a place that is artful, clean and full with high end decor and appliances this is the place. It costs more than many apartments but it's well worth it. The location is great! Within walking distance to excellent restaurants at Cinnamon Life Hotel, a grocery and a fabulous mall. It's also an easy walk to a nice beach.

Aquaria 2 Bedroom
I had the most wonderful experience staying at this apartment! From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was smooth, and the place was spotless and lovely. The location was perfect with the most lovely view. The space itself was cozy yet spacious, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free getaway. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you!

Deep Blue Colombo Seaside Luxury Apartment
For the dehiwala apartment review : The apartment was clean and well presented. We enjoyed watching the sunset each evening from the balconies which all have an ocean view. The location was great, the bedrooms and aircon comfortable and the bathrooms were clean & fresh. The hosts were responsive and flexible giving us a late check-out as there was no booking after us. The assistant organised for check-in and check-in was easy to liaise with.

The Blue Beach
Spent almost a month at this Airbnb,. Amazing place, the beach is just a few meters away and my family loved it. The apartment is well maintained and easily accessible. Very safe for families to stay. We just loved every minute of our stay. The host was very accomodative and responsive. I had an issue with the ACs, was fixed in almost no time. We plan to go back soon. I cannot recommend this place more, it was just so amazing! The location is great! Thanks Subhashi. We love ur place,

Lotus Tower & Harbour View Apartment @ On320
We had a fantastic stay at Tash’s place. The apartment is beautiful, spacious and has very comfy beds. The view from the balcony is even more impressive in person. We enjoyed sunbathing and using the pool on floor 6. Tash relplied to our messages quickly, was very helpful and left clear and precise check in instruction. She also very kindly allowed us to have a late check out. Thanks so much Tash!😊🙏

Fun getaway - cozy and modern home
I was looking for a place near Colombo for a Friday night getaway with friends, and I came across Ryan’s property in Maharagama. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how spacious, modern, and sophisticated the place was. The architecture, choice of colors, and thoughtful spatial arrangements created an inviting and stylish atmosphere—it even became a topic of conversation among us. Everything about this stay was exceptional—the cozy beds, comfortable couches, and the fully functional kitchen that had everything we needed. Every member of our group had something to appreciate, and we spent hours admiring the details. The lake in front of the property was a lovely addition to the view. However, while it’s something beyond the owner’s control, it was covered with aquatic plants—I just wish that wasn’t the case. The host was incredibly welcoming, making the experience even better. Honestly, this is the first time I’m leaving a review for a vacation rental without a single c

Lake Cottage Nawala
This house is a hidden gem in Colombo. It’s very tasteful and well furnished, with an incredible backyard overlooking the water. We didn’t feel like leaving the home. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Kaluganga Holiday Home
Wow, what a fantastic place! I loved it so much.

Canal View Cottage - complete house
I had an amazing five-night stay at Canal View Cottage. The place exceeded my expectations—it’s even more valuable than the listing price! The host, Shira, was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The cottage offered a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet and restful getaway.

Bolgoda Grand - Luxury by the Lake
Very spacious villa with a great view. The pool was amazing.

LakeView
Lake view is an amazing structure with perfect surroundings. It is very central and though very private. We have spent a couple of great days in the structure and had the feeling of being in our private villa with a lot of freedom, space, design and commodities. We will book Lake view for sure again. Thanks a lot to the owner, Prasanna, for the great hospitality.

Iconic Home Stays 28th Floor, Iconic Galaxy.
Our stay was just perfect and as we wanted it to be. Niresh, the host was extremely helpful in getting whatever we needed (including a few utensils for kitchen ;)). The host was there to welcome us and showed us the house. Being on 28th floor, the view was superb the skyline of Colombo city was visible and so was the water front. The location was perfect with many restaurants and supermarkets near by at walking distance. The amenities were just as shown in the pics and we enjoyed most of it. A perfect place to stay if you want to be in the heart of the city and still want to be a peaceful place 😊

Myself and my family had a great time at Sanjeewa's place. It was a nicely decorated modern luxury apartment with breathtaking views of the beautiful skyline and the lake. The place had all the amenities required. Sanjeewa was a friendly host very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Sanjeewa's place to all guests who are looking for a homely peaceful place in the city center of Colombo.

I stayed at this place with my girlfriend for 4 weeks and we felt very comfortable and would come back anytime. We found the apartment even bigger when it came across in the photos.

In addition, the apartment is equipped with everything you need. We can definitely recommend the apartment.
