We started our 3 week trip in Sri Lanka with the warm welcome of Judith. Rooms were clean, food was good and Judith was helpful. She arranged a 5 day tour with driver Sheehan for us.(80$ a day) All prices were reasonable, compared with what we have seen in the rest of Sri Lanka, but cleenliness and hospitalty were a... More

We booked here after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. We stayed for 3 nights and found the accommodation was fine apart from the mosquitoes in our room. We think these were getting in through a gap around the en suite window and as a result we didn't sleep well the first night. We made sure we bought a can of... More

I booked this via a phone call and email after reading the reviews on this site. I arrived in the morning directly from the airport with my 2 sons and spent 2 nights. There was no problem with our early arrival. We took the family room and paid 7300 rps which included aircon and breakfast. It turns out that was... More

We arrived in Negombo in April this year to find that the hotel we had booked on the beach was much less than acceptable . With the advice of a local Tuc tuc driver we ended up at Suriya Arana --what an amazing experience!! Judith and Sam and their charming 11 year old son welcomed us warmly to their lovely... More

We booked Suriya Arana guesthouse in advance and were met at the airport by Judith whom we found to be very warm and friendly. Our room was spotless, very large, airy and comfortable. In fact the only negative remark we have is that the bathroom was a little small for a family of 5, but very clean which is of... More

When we arrived, they were unexpectedly full. Quickly they set us up in a different hotel from friends, which was nothing to complain about. We had a look at the rooms the next day (good) and had breakfast in the garden. All in all very reasonable choice with friendly people who can arrange everything and are more than willing to... More

Arriving by plane at Colombo, we were met by Sam and within 15 minutes we were enjoying a beautiful cup of tea on the terrace. The warmth of Judith and Sam was evident, and they proved to have a wealth of information about the island. Sam was able to arrange 'special' treats like travelling in the cab with the driver...

We arrived early morning at suriya arana, negombo. Our room was not yet available, but it would at 12. This is of course normal, so we decided to have a breakfast. Returning around noon we were told that we should find something else, without explanation and help to find something else. And if we could please pay the breakfast. Is... More

The place is perfect for your first night right after arrival to Negombo. The place will make you relaxed after a long flight. The hospitality of owners is something to mention as well! More
