Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great staff. I was very pleased with my stay. I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.

Good stay, helpful people and very accommodating. The fridge makes a loud noise and there’s no hot water. Very far from Colombo Fort. I didn’t like this location.

The hotel staff are very enthusiastic, many of the guests are foreigners, and the location is excellent, less than 500 meters from the coast.

I am in the middle of an eagerly awaited trip to Sri Lanka. This hotel is one that I am using as a base to visit and in many cases revisit the amazing sites and scenery that this island nation has to offer. My first visit was in 1975 and have become a fairly frequent visitor since The hotel that I am staying in on this occasion is worthy of the kindest and most appreciative comments that I can offer.The owner has assembled a wonderful crew to cater for the guests needs.The owner himself ensures that his own high standards are carried out on a daily basis. He offers the warmest of welcomes which I can have no doubt are sincere. The proximity of one of Sri Lanka’ s endless sandy beaches which offer safe swimming for any careful swimmer is an added bonus. Wildlife is on your doorstep and abounds in its wonderful bird life as well as a variety of lizards and a large number of the inevitable chipmunks that offer limitless entertainment. Undoubtedly a hotel I can thoroughly recommend ,

The Villa in Lavinia is a nice-enough, quaint property and on the whole, well run by the owner and staff, who were nice people, grateful for your patronage and always helpful.
Its location is not in the nicest environment at the bottom of the street off Galle Road, just a hundred yards from the train track. Trains pass often with screaming horns at all hours, which has to happen given so many people live, (in dire poverty), at the railway line or cross the track in the normal course of the day/night.
The room itself was basic, a little tired and could do with renovation and re-painting (at least). There was air-conditioning in the room, but wasn't always effective in a tropical climate. Sometimes the ceiling fan did the job more effectively.
The bed was pretty 'hard', uncomfortable and old. The mattress under the sheets looked pretty dirty.
The Wi-Fi was okay.....worked 50% of the time, though was set through an unsecured connection. It often dropped sporadically just when you needed it.
The room had a fridge, which was great since you need to buy mineral water and keep it cold. The bathroom was good, but very tired and needs renovating - the shower-head was literally rusty.
However, all this is in context since Sri Lanka is, at best, a 2nd world country/developing nation.

Inside shower room, toilet bowl and wash basing arrangement are not safe, as sitting in the toilet is not safe due to wash basing square slab with sharp corners. This is a health and safety issue, accident waiting to happen, requires urgent revisit the washrooms and attend to appropriate resifting of wash basing so on to make safe. I alert this issue with the manger InCharge, and he acknowledged the issue. A simple modification of bathroom would solve the problem.

Have stayed at this establishment over the past 20 or so years. First choice when visiting SL. standard has improved with the addition of fridges. Friendly, obliging professional staff standards have not changed.

We spent 1 night here at the Villa in Lavinia. The staff greeted us at the door and walked us to the room as they explained things. We had a nice breakfast prepared for us the next morning accompanied by a gentle knock on the door to let us know it was hot and ready. When we had an issue getting an Uber to come pick us up to go to our next location the staff immediately stepped in and contacted a driver for us. The Villa at Lavinia is a small establishment, but the personal care and service is unmatched. Thank you for that.
