Fabulous room, very tastefully appointed, with a huge bed and good size en-suite shower room. The staff are, without exception, friendly helpful and obliging. The architecture is unusual, attractive and interesting, with a little bit of a safari lodge feel to it. The villa is a little bit remote but there is easy access to local facilities via taxi, or Tuk Tuk. Our only slight disappointment was the limited range of choice from the menu available in the evenings and the portions were sometimes less than might be expected. In summary, a fabulous place to relax for a few days among quiet surroundings and you may be lucky to have some interesting wildlife visitors.

The property was a series of beautiful buildings centred around the owners main residence on Negombo Lagoon. The property was lovingly presented, the owners were very friendly and the staff were excellent. The food was just what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay, would definitely return and would highly recommend. An added bonus was being able to visit Thimble which was on site. It is a workshop where the women of the local fishing village are able to learn skills and produce hand crafted products. The goods they produced were top quality and a perfect souvenir of our time in Sri Lanka.

A great place for us to stay on our last night as a treat. The room we had was huge and the pools were great as were the staff. The only slight downside would be the location is a little isolated (some people will like that part) and the lagoon location of course means bring your mosquito spray.

This property is amazing.
I felt like I was staying with friends. The atmosphere is so relaxing. The staff go above and beyond to make you welcomed. We had some issues with our flights and the staff supported us with phone calls, changing flights, etc. They even gave us a room to leave our bags in and relax until it was time to go to the airport.

Simply magical
Our all-too-brief stay was simply magical at Villa Hundira. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home. We booked the lagoon suite, as a way to round off our trip travelling around Sri Lanka. It was totally worth it. The villa itself is a treat for the eyes - little nooks to relax and read in, beautiful decor throughout, and complete peace wherever you go. The room was equally delightful - gorgeous interior design, a beautiful view of the lagoon and sunrise, comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. We took an ayurvedic massage which was a great way to wind down after a trip full of constantly being on the move. Breakfast the next morning was delicious - go for the Sri Lankan option, you will not be disappointed! Also pay a visit to the Thimble workshop - great work being done to support fishermen's daughters. Special mention to Gayan who made the stay so wonderful. Thank you!

Paradise by the Lagoon
A wonderful stay. Villa Hundira is gorgeous. I found it to be aesthetically delightful and could immediately recognise the influence of Sri Lanka's great architect - Geoffrey Bawa. The rooms were very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The The service was top class. The staff were very friendly and 100% accommodating. I loved that there were no set meal times. The food was delicious and plentiful. From the vey beginning we were told to treat the place as our home and that there were no restricted areas. After one day it really did feel like home and we felt very much a part of a loving family. The owners, Rolf and Indira are special people who clearly enjoy spending some of their valuable time with guests. This place is full of surprises. I will definitely be going back to villa hundira. Only one warning. Bring along tropical strength mosquito repellant if you want to eat al fresco

Dream Property
Villa Hundira is a unique residence tucked away at the side of the lagoon in Negombo. Each room is individually furnished to a very high standard & artistically decorated. The twelve rooms are positioned around a complex of internal channels of water or by the one of two pools. It is quite ,peaceful & relaxing. The staff were all very friendly & helpful. Breakfast & dinner could be taken on one of the terraces or by the pool. Our stay here was an absolute delight after a busy two weeks exploring Sri Lanka

Comfort, architecture and environment.
We found Villa Hundira to be so pleasantly different to other accommodation that it intrigued, comforted and pleased us. Set on Negombo Lagoon and having its own canal meander through the property was a highlight. Rooms were spacious, quiet and private. Staff were brilliant and menu good and flexible,

Lovely home/hotel
Very nice art work and atmosphere. The family like to entertain, so their dinner parties got a bit noisy late into the night. PLEASE stop putting little plastic bottles at every place setting for every meal! Sri Lanka is sinking under the plastic rubbish...you have a water cooler so you can give customers water from that. Small plastic bottles are so deadly to the environment...one drink and then pollution for many many decades...

Unique Boutique Hidden Gem in Negombo, Sri Lanka
Understated by pictures, but possessing incredibly boastful reviews, this lagoon paradise is a hidden gem in the Negombo rough. As we creep upon arrival to the new locale, what a gift of discovery lies before us! Owners Rolf, a Sweden architect and his Sri Lankan wife, Indira, an interior designer create together a secret enclave of architectural designs where modern meets tranquil natural settings, textiles blend with wood structures, and feng shui marries the soul! 12 appointed rooms adorned with varying Swedish and Lankan eclectic collections. If ranked as unique stays, it'd be one of tops.

Stumbled upon a gem in Negombo
Villa Hundira is very special place. Hands down one of the best boutique stays I've ever had in my international travels. I kind of stumbled upon it on hotels.com because I was looking for a location a bit closer to the airport as compared to Colombo. What luck! We can't wait to return for another couple nights before we return home. I highly recommend ordering a Sri Lankan-style dinner.

Amazing hotel with 3 pools
The staff were amazing and when we had suprise guests let us have a private space with a 270 degree view of the lagoon. There are so many different places to eat and sit in private and it is created to the highest taste. It was a perfect oasis away from the bustle of Negambo to have our last 36 hours in Sri Lanka.

Best hotel we have ever stayed in!
Exceptionally well managed hotel on the Negombo Lagoon. The staff were friendly and helpful with good English. The rooms were very big, spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. There are two swimming pools and a views over the Lagoon. We borrowed a kayak and paddled in the Lagoon amongst the mangroves, it was exceptional. The food was very good, and we bought a wonderful bottle of wine with dinner. We have stayed in many hotels in Asia and this was the best.

A wonderful place
We only stayed here one night on our way out of Sri Lanka. A pity for us that we could not stay longer. Villa Hundira is a wonderful place. It's clear the owners have put a lot of time and effort into its development and the result is outstanding. Highly recommended
