Duvis Shelter Bungalow is a wonderful place to stay. The bungalow is peaceful, clean, and very comfortable, making it feel just like a home away from home. What truly made our stay special was uncle and aunty, who are the kindest and best hosts anyone could ask for—warm, caring, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality made us feel safe, relaxed, and truly welcomed. I would highly recommend Duvis Shelter Bungalow to everyone looking for a pleasant and memorable stay. 💛

“We couldn’t have asked for a better first few nights in. Colombo. Thank you so much!”
Based in the out skirts of Colombo in a more peaceful area which was perfect for us as we needed rest after a long journey. The couple running the facilities were kind to welcome and check us in, in the very early morning hours so we could rest immediately after a long flight. The rooms are big and very clean. The bed comfortable with a balcony facing the wellkept, cosy and lushious garden. The couple was very kind, sweet and welcoming and even offered to take us to the bus station. We couldn’t have asked for a better first few nights in. Colombo. Thank you so much!

This beautiful bungalow is located in one of a very tranquil surroundings in Colombo and is just minutes away from the immigration office. It is owned by a very sweet family who have converted their top floor in a home stay. The rooms are spacious, neat and very well maintained. They have a small beautiful garden overlooking from the balcony. Family and staff were very warm and welcoming, spent a lovely evening with them over a pleasant conversation on my last day. I had a very comfortable stay here and will surely come again if I am in Colombo next time.
