Quiet area and lovely family

In one of the rooms there are a lot of old cabinets which reduces the space in the room

Cleanest place I have ever lived in entire Sri Lanka. It’s really spotless with all (shared) amenities you would ever need for a short stay: immaculate bathroom, kitchen, living room etc. I visited Colombo to extend my visa only to I discover that immigration was closed for public holidays.. this place was such a relief. The owners are super helpful too. Highly recommend it. 🤗

The host was friendly, and the facilities were great especially the shower. The bed was a bit short though, I am 1,88m. Also there was a short narrow path you had to walk to get to the room and my 66L bag could only just fit in scratching the walls.

Good afternoon ! Stayed for 3 days! I met the woman very kindly, there is cleanliness and order everywhere in the house, I wanted to wash things in the washing machine myself, it didn't work))) the staff took all my dirty things and everything was washed and neatly folded, it surprised me a lot! Tea, coffee, etc., everything that is stated in the ad corresponds! Thanks to this house, I'll come again!

I love the family environment and the kindness and availability from Nilu and his son. I totally recommend it.

Shalom Villa is a home away from home. Nilu and Iresh make you feel welcome right away and help you with all your travel needs. The guesthouse is away from the noisy and bustling center, but within easy reach using the PickMe App for inexpensive and fast transportation. Coffee and tea are always available and shops are in close vicinity. I also liked the stroll down to the river. With so much nature around one might forget to be still in Colombo. I am looking forward to coming back here and enjoy the hospitality. 🙂

Amazing place. Peace and quiet, you can see a Buddhist stupa from the window. Wonderful cozy room with shower and toilet. On the second floor there is a very comfortable common lounge area for work or rest. Wonderful friendly owners. I highly recommend this place and I will gladly come back here!

Great joint. Room is little hence the name economy single room.  There's no windows so wouldn't recommend staying for longer than two or 3 nights. But they do have other doubel sized rooms if you wanna stay for longer.The place is spot on. Clean and well Maintained. The house owners are kind and reasonable people as well. I don't know what the previous asian lady was talking about but they do provide free WIFI and no dramas with the toilet tissues. Overall brilliant place for a visit. Get some business done or for a good night sleep before you hit your long trip.

Few occasions like very protective of the house and things, and saying unmindful things. Quite expensive to live in colombo during holidays I stayed in the small room with no windows, can be quite hot dark. Personally, i dont like the smell of smoke , and the only place to hang out clothes at the main balcony. This happens in quite a few guesthouses too. I care about your wellbeing, but at the same time i tend to visit certain places often, like volunteering temples. Drug sex money alcohol fame fortune comfort attachment praise blame I suggest people dont walk around using towels or very short undergarments, i know hot weather, rights, controversial, there is a monk men only temple opposite, one common toilet, i mean i can feel a bit awkward, also having to have the door and window open.

Very Clean, hardworking, know what they are doing, safe, quiet, very generous friendly , a bit strict ..new house and furnitures Just need to remind guests to not stay up late and know different time zones, walls quite thin, epecially room with no window have to rely on that window or also opening the door. It is like a home Christian family They wash clothes for everyone, using her washing machine and clean evey two days, change sheets every 4 days. Tap water in sri lanka can be boiled using water heater , drinkable. But taste a bit different , because i have been living amongst nature mountains less people strict country. Must wait around 10-30 minutes sometimes to book tuktuk which is safer and quite cheap.. Supermarkets, markets , restaurants walking about 20-40 minutes. 2 minutes from nearest self-owned minimart, everyday in morning and evening bread tuktuk cost around 100rupees each, vegetarian and non vegetarian. normally the minimart before the temple white wall, will be the final location of the uber, pickmeup. No wifi tissue paper for long term guests, they can be expensive in sri lanka. Most local restaurants eat by hands, there are sink tap water soap Quite safe, as a foreigner, there will be people looking, taking photos, smiling , teasing, getting close. I suggest wear mask at the city, buses are very polluted. Try to relax, prwy chant. not all drivers are bad drivers. Public toilets can be clean, not so clean and not clean. Nice lakes, parks, rice fields about 30-40 minutes of tuktuk. Colombo can be expensive so best know in advance how many days or weeks, i saw when i arrived 3000rupees, now 5000rupees. I have great time, happiness kindness supports encouragment positivity faith . Roads can be bumpy with up down small slopes to reduce speed, if you arent good with motorbike, i really dont really recommend. Sri lanka can be quite dark at night, with beautiful fireflies. Many small holes rocks. Roads up down hill, do not cycle in city.

Very friendly owners. Wil definitely stay here again.

everything was exceptionally nice about Shalom Villa! first and foremost, it is a very clean facility! the room, linen, kitchen and the bathroom are super clean and neat. You feel a sense of home from the moment you enter the place. The owner and the staff is very friendly and concerned about the comfort and safety of the guest. this is a very safe place for females who would come stay alone for work or any other purpose. the neighborhood is safe and quiet. the location is convenient. And there is a good sense of privacy. I would recommend the place for anyone and would chose Shalom villa if I visit for work to Rajajgiriya again! :)

Stayed in November 2024

Since the property located within a highly residential area, the entertainment facilities for the guests are limited.

Actually it was really a woderful experience I gained especially in the vicinity of Kotte Rajagiriya. I must mention the following which I was impressed. a) The methodical way of placement of equipment & other essentials b) Coolest atmosphere within the hotel c) The quality of products readily available for use at any time d) Cool calm lighting arrangements e) The Management is always concern about the cleanness of the property both in and out f) The hospitality received g) And of course, it was really a worthwhile spending a day with the given prices.
