Clean, comfortable rooms with AC. Lovely courtyard with pool. Friendly staff and accommodating owner. Great value for money. Close to the beach and restaurants.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Araliya. the Deluxe Suite was spacious and modern, with a balcony and two bathrooms. the hotel's location, away from the main street, made it quiet and peaceful. the staff were incredibly helpful and service-oriented, ensuring that our needs were met. the breakfast offered a good selection of fruits, and the self-service tea made it quick and convenient. the fast internet connection was a bonus. the ambience felt more like a home than a hotel, providing a relaxed and safe environment for our stay. Cons: Nothing 🙌.

Intimate and personal, beautiful villa with incredible pool. Relaxed location, attentive and friendly staff. Home-like ambience, delicious breakfast, nice swimming pool and excellent food. Well-maintained property with great location. Amazing pool, friendly staff.

I absolutely loved the colonial-style decoration of the hotel, with its terracotta, iron, and teak wood elements. It created such inviting spaces for relaxation. The general areas of the hotel were beautifully maintained, with stone paths, vine-covered trellises, and lovely Frangipani trees. As a senior woman, I found the hotel to be accessible and comfortable, making it easy for me to enjoy my stay.

If I had to ask for one thing to make the vacation better for senior people, it would be clearer instructions and assistance from the staff. Sometimes, as the children of the staff were busy with other tasks, it would have been helpful to have more guidance regarding local attractions and activities suitable for senior guests.

This family-friendly apartment feels like a separate house with a kitchen, sitting room, 2 bathrooms, and 2 bedrooms. It offers great value for money and excellent service. the staff is warm and friendly, and the food is very good. the pool is a hit with children, usually not too crowded. the location is convenient with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and shops.

Felt immediately at home, no complaints.

Beautiful villa, incredible pool, relaxed location, friendly staff, intimate and personal, welcoming hosts.

Nothing it was perfect.

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with large beds and mosquito nets. The pool was beautiful and the surrounding area had lots of lovely frangipani trees. We enjoyed the delicious, home-cooked food, which offered a variety of flavors and options. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The location was great, being close to the beach and within walking distance of some nice restaurants and bars. it was a relaxing and tranquil place to stay.

There were no credit card facilities available at the hotel, although there were plenty of ATMs nearby. Some guests may find the lack of credit card options inconvenient.

Great pool and friendly staff. Convenient location near the airport. the food was delicious.

The price felt a bit high and the room taxes were expensive.

Explored the rich culture and enjoyed the pool with uncomfortable stone sunbeds. Room had canopies to keep bugs out, and the owner was a lover of stray animals.

Loved how the lighting in the room made me feel like I was starring in a horror movie.

Clean rooms with beautiful courtyard, pool, and sun loungers. Delicious breakfast with fresh fruit and omelette. Friendly owner and easy check-in/out. Good location near the beach.

The room was spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. the staff were friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any requests. the pool area was well-maintained and provided a relaxing spot to unwind.

The location was not ideal. It was quite far from the main attractions and required a lengthy commute to reach them.

stayed at a great place in negombo, but villa araliya blew us away during this trip! the relaxed vibes and tranquil atmosphere made us extend our stay. spacious rooms, delicious food, and a beautiful pool. highly recommend to friends!

No bathtub in our deluxe suite.

great place to start/finish sri lankan trip, quiet location, helpful staff

no wifi in rooms

Beautiful courtyard, friendly owner, clean rooms, delicious breakfast, good location near the beach.

None.

Unexpectedly beautiful place with shady rooms and delightful ambiance. The pool is clean and the rooms too, quiet, comfy beds and everything works properly. Breakfast is good, and coffee drinkable which is unusual here! We only had the one night but I would happily stay longer.
