Guest Houses in Balapitiya

Felt like at home. Staff very helpful and kind. We can use the kitchen as at home.

All wonderful, staff, location, villas. Superb breakfast and dinner. They take care of us for all we need. We will be back for sure!

Bakers cottage was a stop for us as we were making our way back to Colombo. Accommodation was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Family were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good with fruits from the garden and some local Sri Lankan dishes. The mattress was a little bit hard for us, but this is likely to be replaced as the family noted this. Location on Kosgoda beach meant a lovely sunset. Swimming options further up the beach or a short tuk tuk drive away. A few restaurants nearby, local and tourist and more options not to far away by tuk tuk

I had an amazing experience staying at here. The location is absolutely perfect, with a beautiful beach. The sea view is breathtaking and truly adds to the overall experience. The villa itself is spotless and very well-maintained, creating a calm and offering a comfortable environment to relax. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the place. The staff were also very helpful and always ready to assist with anything we needed. Choosing to stay here was definitely a pleasure.

Perfect nice & clean place basically right on the beach, with good restaurant and Turtle rescue center in the neighborhood. In the end we received nice gift from the collective. Recommended !

Clean and spacious rooms which are great for families The staff are amazingly helpful The beach cafe (owned by the same family) is amazing, right on the beach and the food is delicious Very good value for money Tuk tuk attached to the hotel so transport is very easy.

We didn’t received any breakfast.

We stayed at the Neem Tree for the first half of the February '25. And I want to say that it was probably most charming experience of the rest abroad. First of all because of the family who manages the guest house. They are lovely! I have so many thanks to them for their care and responsiveness! But okay, maybe it was something personal, so I say only facts about the guest house: our apartment was clean, toilet and shower was clean too, water heater worked well. Furniture and appliances were not brand new, but in a good condition, everything worked well. Conditioner worked well, too. Bed was big (200*210cm or something) any sturdy, mattress was exactly what I love: flat and even, medium-soft, it was obviously near to a brand new condition or of a really good quality, I slept very well. Pillows were good, too: no lumps or clots, or something, were felt like brand new or close to that. Bed lining and towels was in a good condition and clean. Location of the guest house is very convenient: - 1 minute walk to a beach, beach itself is really good - 1 minute walk to the beach restaurants (there are 2 of them, and they are pretty decent, bit pricey by standards of Lanka, but cousin is good, everything we ate were yummy, and I'm sure they work hard to cook the way non-lankians used to: it's not spicy at all, so the cuisine is great for those who can't eat spicy hot dishes) - 5-7 minutes walk to a local supermarket, were you can buy all basic goods you need: bottled water, vegs, meat, chicken, groceries, semi-finished food, freshly backed pizza, sandwiches and so on - 15 minutes walk to a bus and train station Conclusion: I don't want to say that it's absolutely perfect place, but we don't have absolute perfection in the world))) I want to say that I absolutely do recommend the guest house to stay. The comfort, the location, the way they treat you, the soul of the place - I loved it! As for me it's 10 out of 10. ❤️

Excellent staff, delicious meal, clean and spacious rooms, beautiful seaviews

How can I even start… all the members of this family are literal angels. They’ll take care of you, show you around, make sure you’re never hungry, and give you the best possible experience. I was so lucky to meet them at the beginning of my trip; I ended up staying way longer than planned and even spent my birthday with them and we organised a trip together some time later. At this point, they’ve become family to me. Their property is located in a beautiful and tranquil area; if you like being close to nature and want an authentic Sri Lankan experience, this is the place. The rooms are well-kept and tidy, spacious, and cosy. There’s an adorable dog and lots of visiting animals, even parrots, who feed near the property’s gate every morning. Shamaylie, with the help of her daughters, cooks home made, healthy and very tasty meals, made from the local ingredients. The family will make sure that they offer you the food you like. I recommend to visit the Guesthouse regardless if you’re travelling solo or in a couple. You will always be treated with love, warmth, and generosity. Wik xx
