Rescue cats and dogs live on site, which many guests enjoy, but those with allergies or discomfort around animals may prefer elsewhere. Some reviews mention mosquitoes, occasional weak Wi-Fi or noisy air-conditioning, a hard bed, or minor maintenance and communication hiccups. Overall, expect a simple, relaxed guesthouse experience with strong value.

I had a really wonderful stay here; great facilities, pool, staff, location and breakfast. It is the perfect place to relax and get over the jet lag when first arriving in Sri Lanka. What made my stay extra special however was all the cats; they are super friendly and cuddly, you can tell that the owners really care for the animals. And the hotel was completely without the odors that one normally might expect when there are many animals around! Best place I stayed at during my first week in Sri Lanka, would book it again in a heartbeat!

I stayed at Villa Kapuru twice, after my arrival to Sri Lanka and on my last day, since it’s close to the airport. A really nice and calm place, nice stuff, comfy room and pool. I’ve chosen the hotel cause of the rescued cats at the property, and wasn’t disappointed, they are really nice and well behaved and a pleasure to be around. Really close to the beach and Main Street with shops and restaurants.

Nice clean pool! Hard bed. AC worked well. The staff (one person) didn't say much, too little information, not good at English. OK breakfast and you get pool towels and water for free. Many places to relax and close to center (dark walk at night though). They have a lot of cats and dogs around the pool.

Great hotel in the Negombo area! In walking distance of beach and the main street with plenty of dining options is just up the road about two blocks. The train station is about 4 blocks away. Fast internet, kettle, combination safe, hot water with good pressure, fridge, patio area, and nice desk make the room very suitable. I had a canal view and saw a monitor lizard on two seperate occasions. Staff is super nice and you will certainly enjoy your stay there. The pool is well maintained and cleaned daily and the breakfast is super yummy with honey covered yogurt, plenty of fruit, and eggs made to order served thick slices of locally baked bread. Give it a go!

I am just starting my Sri Lanka adventure and I cannot recommend enough Villa Kapuru. It is a small Villa run by SriLankan and Irish men who take in rescue dogs and cats so they can be treated with love and kindness. The Villa is a short walk to the beach and restaurants and has both a pool and air conditioning, very important in the Sri Lankan heat ☀️ It was quiet for sleeping, had a tasty breakfast and was exceptionally clean! Their partner restaurant is also highly recommended - I had the best chicken curry ever!

Well run guesthouse with helpful staff. Lovely backwater aspect from our room. Watched monitors, kingfishers, loads of birds. Lots of cats, and 2 dogs- all well kept and no trouble. Nice pool to cool off. Good position one street away from shops, restaurants etc. Quiet spot.

Outstanding stay for the price point. Super clean and comfortable room, sufficient breakfast, and lovely animals to welcome you. Staff arranged airport pickup and a driver for our trip to Sigiriya. Thank you! Didn’t get a chance to use the pool but did lounge in the common areas, which was great as the breeze was coming across the canal. This place is quaint and absolutely lovely. Only negative thing is that some light bulbs were burnt out in the common areas and hallway, making it a little difficult to read! Still a 5 star review. Easy to walk to the beach and main road for shopping and eating.

If you're looking to recreate your high-end Western-standard hotel experience, this is not the place. If you want a pleasant, quiet place to stay where everything works, this is for you. No surprises here except a great breakfast. I suggest you get a room facing the pool and the beautiful garden. The beach and many nice bars and restaurants are within an easy walk. This is a great place to stay to make sure you catch your flight from Bandaranaike Airport.

Really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Villa Kapuru! The staff are really friendly and helpful, they even did some washing for us during our quick stay! So many cats and dogs around the property which were happy and friendly. Very close walk to the beach and surrounding restaurants. Wi-Fi reception wasn’t the greatest and the aircon in our room was very noisy at times but didn’t really affect our stay too much and we would definitely recommend if staying in Negombo!

I am just starting my Sri Lanka adventure and I cannot recommend enough Villa Kapuru. It is a small Villa run by SriLankan and Irish men who take in rescue dogs and cats so they can be treated with love and kindness. The Villa is a short walk to the beach and restaurants and has both a pool and air conditioning, very important in the Sri Lankan heat ☀️ It was quiet for sleeping, had a tasty breakfast and was exceptionally clean! Their partner restaurant is also highly recommended - I had the best chicken curry ever!

Manager was very helpful and advised on a local restaurant which turned out to be very good. In a quiet area away from main road - about 10 mins walk to beach.

Highly recommend Hotel Villa Kapuru! The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. This is a terrific place to stay when coming or going from Colombo airport, or as a Negombo area destination hotel.

Great hotel in the Negombo area! In walking distance of beach and the main street with plenty of dining options is just up the road about two blocks. The train station is about 4 blocks away. Fast internet, kettle, combination safe, hot water with good pressure, fridge, patio area, and nice desk make the room very suitable. I had a canal view and saw a monitor lizard on two seperate occasions. Staff is super nice and you will certainly enjoy your stay there. The pool is well maintained and cleaned daily and the breakfast is super yummy with honey covered yogurt, plenty of fruit, and eggs made to order served thick slices of locally baked bread. Give it a go!

Really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Villa Kapuru! The staff are really friendly and helpful, they even did some washing for us during our quick stay! So many cats and dogs around the property which were happy and friendly. Very close walk to the beach and surrounding restaurants. Wi-Fi reception wasn’t the greatest and the aircon in our room was very noisy at times but didn’t really affect our stay too much and we would definitely recommend if staying in Negombo!

I am just starting my Sri Lanka adventure and I cannot recommend enough Villa Kapuru. It is a small Villa run by SriLankan and Irish men who take in rescue dogs and cats so they can be treated with love and kindness. The Villa is a short walk to the beach and restaurants and has both a pool and air conditioning, very important in the Sri Lankan heat ☀️ It was quiet for sleeping, had a tasty breakfast and was exceptionally clean! Their partner restaurant is also highly recommended - I had the best chicken curry ever!

Tolle Unterkunft mit Pool zum Ankommen (bestimmt auch zum Ausklang vor Abreise ;) ). Bequemes Bett und sehr großes Frühstück. Fußläufig alles erreichbar (Strand, Restaurants und Supermarkt). Unbedingt eine Bootstour durch den Kanal zur Lagune mit Mr. Lakshman buchen. Da die Unterkunft direkt am Kanal liegt, kann man direkt von dort starten.

Customer service is top notch 10 out of 10. I arrived at 2 am in the morning and the clerk had to get out of bed and was waiting on the street. The hotel is a beautiful villa with a pool at an unbelievably low price. You can easily pay more for an over price big Mac meal at an airport.

Great value for the money! Has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Negombo, near the beach and all the restaurants. They provide a fresh breakfast, a pool and clean rooms w comfortable beds. Also nice and flexible staff! The owners are petlowers but the cats and the dog wont bother you at all. They just make it more ”homy”. Well recommended by us who have stayed here 3 times now.

It’s a basic, budget hotel. But everything was clean, and the staff were great. There are several friendly cats (and a dog) that live on the property, and I enjoyed interacting with them.
