Great find. A little out of the way so you are a little reliant on them in terms of food… however the food is wonderful and so that was a plus. Great team, good value and good values in terms of how the owners treat their employees

Great service and amazing area

Stayed at this great place with my wife and two daughters. Villa Shade has excellent service and is in an amazing calm area close to Negombo city. Walk, run or borrow bicycles to get to town or Negombo beach. Or simply stay in the clean pool within the premises, play basket or badminton.

Zeer mooi en vriendelijke eigenaar en personeel.

Het complex heeft meerdere soorten luxe huisjes die zeer compleet en schoon zijn, de eigenaar en het personeel zorgen dat het je nergens aan ontbreekt. Het zwembad was heerlijk. We hebben een mooie rondleiding gekregen door de groente, fruit en kruidentuin. Het ontbijt is er heerlijk en er wordt fruit uit eigen tuin geserveerd.Ook heeft de eigenaar oog voor het milieu en probeert hij te verbeteren waar dit mogelijk is!

Hotel au calme avec personnel attentionné

Personnel attentif au moindre de nos besoins (visite de Negombo et de ses environs avec chauffeur de tuk tuk sympa et anglophone) y compris sans demande de notre part. (boissons au bord de la piscine, mise à disposition de notre chambre au delà de 12h le jour du départ) Joli jardin (Hotel bien nommé) et piscine.

Greedy hotel owners

Terribly hot in the room, and the hotel charges $8 to use the air condition! A lot of mosquitos, so impossible to be outside or to have the door open. Significantly over charges airport transfer. Clean room, that was the positive about the hotel. Over all the worse hotel in our Sri Lankan vaccation, not recommended!

Toller Bungalow in Negombo

Die erste Nacht nach unserer Ankunft in Sri Lanka haben wir in der Villa Shade verbracht. Wir hatten einen Bungalow mit offener Gartendusche. Es ist alles sehr sauber und der Eigentümer sehr bemüht. Die City von Negombo ist ca. 10 Minuten mit dem TukTuk von der Villa Shade entfernt. Tuk Tuk und Taxi wurden organisiert, wenn erforderlich. Alles in allem eine gute Adresse für die ersten Tage in Sri Lanka.

Home Away From Home

Spent my birthday at Villa Shade. Mr. Shiraj, was so kind to have me checked in so early because my flight arrived in the midnight. He make sure that I am comfortable within my stay. He arranged a tuktuk to drive me around beginning and arranged ayurvedic full body massage at Jasmine Villa which is so relaxing. His staff were friendly and always smiling. A traditional Sri Lankan breakfast was prepared when I woke up which is good. Thank you for a relaxing and wonderful stay.

Wonderful family run property

We only were able to stay one night, we wished that we had more time. Stunning property carefully run by a husband and wife who clearly enjoy and love their business. "If you're happy they're happy" very tentative and helpful in every way. The rooms are very nice, clean, comfortable and it's in a quiet area, highly recommend!

This is the place to stay in Negombo!

I stayed at Villa Shade on a quick stopover on my way to India. It was lovely. The hosts and staff were kind, keen to help but also gave me my privacy. This is the perfect spot to just chill and lay by the pool, sit in the beautiful gardens and read. The power went out in the main house so I was moved t a self contained villa. Very comfortable and private. Highly recommend!

Très favorable

Nous avons passé une nuit. La chambre était bien, ainsi que le petit-déjeuner. Le jardin, magnifique et les propriétaires ainsi que le personnel, compétents et charmants, ne sachant que faire pour nous satisfaire. Le tout est très propre et bien entretenu. La piscine est très agréable. Des vélos (ainsi qu'un plan de la ville) nous ont été prêtés pour que nous allions découvrir Negombo et son marché aux poissons. nous avons pu nous rafraichir dans l'après-midi dans une salle de bains alors que le check-out était déjà fait. On nous a offert un thé pour patienter avant notre départ. On nous a prêté un ordinateur pour avoir internet car nous avions des problèmes avec nos téléphones.

Quiet retreat

We enjoyed our stay at villa shade very much. It is a bit far from town and there is nothing to do in the area. Perfect for relaxing by the pool or in the garden. Very helpful staff. Recommend the take a way food just down the road, the staff will advise you and take you there. It would be good if they sold some snacks and drinks which may encourage visitors to mingle in the common area with perhaps some books and travel guides. Overall highly recommended
