Serendib is in a calm residential area 5-10 minute walk back from Negombo beach and a short drive from Negombo town. Hilary and Buddika were very kind and welcoming. We had an AC room at the back of the property which was spotless, quiet and comfortable - just a tiny suggestion that perhaps it would be useful to have somewhere... More

Having flown in to Colombo from the UK we were met by Indika, the driver who works for Hilary and Buddika, and taken to their wonderful Guest House, about half an hour's drive away., As we had been flying all night it was great that our room was ready ( at 9 am ) and we were able to have... More

We stayed here just two nights ago and it was amazing! Picked up from the airport at 1am and Buddika was there to greet us when we arrived at the guesthouse. Had a room with air con, which was a lifesaver as it was really hot! Large, clean, room with everything you need. Great bathroom too, with hot water! Had... More

Hilary (currently disabled after hip operation) and Buddika were the very best hosts and I have traveled millions of miles and stayed in many places in my years. I cannot rate the service more highly....I was made to feel so very welcome, like a VIP!! I really relaxed in this place...a very comfy Guest House and one of the best... More

Arriving at 4am they arranged an efficient pickup at a good price. It's only twenty minutes from the airport so much better than an airport hotel. The guesthouse is very homely and the rooms are large, clean and nicely decorated. The outside area is great for relaxing and it's only 5 mins walk to restaurants and the beach. There is... More

Our driver had booked us into Serendib for our first night in Sri Lanka. Having never stayed in a guesthouse before we did not really know what to expect. The owner is extremely welcoming and friendly with great staff in support. Our room was good, maybe needing a few minor repairs, but had everything you needed. It did have the... More

We flew into Colombo with two of our party suffering from food poisoning from bad food at a big brand coffee outlet in Delhi airport. The Guest house owner and her staff were extremely helpful, assisting us in getting medical attention and ensuring we had everything we needed and attending to our comfort. They were also able to accommodate us... More

We stayed both the first and last 2 nights of our trip, the transfers were arranged perfectly and at a fair price. Serendib rightfully won a tripadvisor award last year and does not need our endorsement but still I want to show our appreciation for the nice room, the great breakfast and attentive hospitality of Buddika - beyond our expectations...

We stopped here overnight before an early flight home after two weeks of heavy travelling around Sri Lanka and when we arrived in the evening we were bushed. We wanted to explore the surrounding area but it was dark, we were tired and we had to get up early the next morning so I cannot speak at length about the... More
