This was a very nice homestay, close to the airport but also within walking distance to Negombo Fort as well as Fish Market. My room had a/c, a fan and a mosquito net. The Sri Lankan breakfast, although relatively expensive, was very good. The host is friendly and helpful.

As other guests pointed out, there's no glass on the window, so the shutters must always be closed. This is certainly not ideal during the day, but this also makes it possible for the room to get completely dark at night. No hot water but, at least in February, I didn't feel the need. Cash only.

This stay was my first 1.5 days in Sri Lanka after a very delayed flight. The hosts were incredibly friendly and were very helpful with local knowledge. The location of Mama Beach Villa is central to most of Negombo but set on a wonderfully quiet street with a beautiful lush garden. The perfect place to adjust to the warm weather and catch up on sleep. A comfortable bed and very tidy and clean.

The owner went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as pleasant as possible. He promptly resolved the internet and hot water issues in our room, demonstrating great dedication to guest satisfaction. His helpfulness truly made a difference in our experience.

The only downside is that the location is a bit far from the restaurants, shops, main beach, etc.

Very clean, spacious and has a relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast options were good, and the owner is helpful. There are some really nice restaurants just nearby to the north (especially the Switzerland one).

On the map it looks like it's right next to the beach, and indeed it is, but that part of the beach is mainly for fishers and is dirty. You need to walk 1km to the north for the better beaches.

The hospitality was super. We checked-in at 4.30 am because of the flight and the host was waiting for us. The room was clean and comfortable. We ate a great and abundant Sri Lankan breakfast. They also let us parking our rent tuk Tuk in their courtyard. Awesome experience.

Sebastian and his wife were welcoming and nice. They prepared a delicious breakfast of local pancakes and fruits. The room was comfortable, with A/C and we enjoyed some hours on the balcony. In the night we took a 15-20 min walk to the main road with all the restaurants without a problem.

Room was very clean with a private bathroom. Air conditioner worked well. Nice filling breakfast prepared in the morning which was the perfect start to the day.

Not a lot to do in Negombo, but the proximity to airport is good.

Beautiful and clean guesthouse. Sebastian and his family are lovely and very helpful, pariticularly when we were organizing our trip. Delicious breakfast. We highly recommand you Mama Beach Villa

I liked how the accommodation was near the beach, close the the beautiful church and within a lovely neighbourhood. Sebastian and his wife were do lovely and accommodating and made delicious breakfasts. I loved the walk in shower which is rare in Sri Lanka

Sebastian the owner is very nice, good breakfast and cares for you :) beach is next to the hotel but not really fir swimming. But i enjoyed it and couldnt ask for more after 12hr flight 👍 dont expect a luxury hotel, but for backpackers i think its great :)
